    A dessert shop that makes incredibly delicious desserts. Both desserts in the photo were very very tasty. Definitely don't leave Athens without having dessert here. Prices are very fair... Each dessert averages 5 Euros. Employees are ecstatic and exhausted trying to do their job.

    Place with a large diversity of sweets and plenty of places to sit. Ideal for an after dinner stop to have some nice dessert.

    Not a very good experience. The service is very poor, quite few waiters who cannot serve the all tables; there should be more waiters and they should put a smile on their face. You can tell they are frustrated by the load of work they have but this should not be the customer’s problem! Also, the galaktoboureko was tasteless and the tea was lukewarm which was a bummer because it was a cold afternoon and we expected to have at least hot water for our tea.

    Hands down the best dessert shop in Athens. This is Nancy’s Sweet Home, the desserts are sweet. Regarding the waitstaff, many servers in Athens work 14+ hour days for €3 to €5 per hour serving mostly non-Greek speaking tourists. Patience and empathy will go a long way.

    Super nice place with huge portions of delicious cakes. We almost couldn't finish the portions, and I kindda feared for my health (hahaha), but it was really a nice experience. The service was excellent and we felt really welcomed. You have to try cakes here!

    Super tasty and good dessert. You can feel the quality of the ingredients. The staff was lovely and they speak English. As well the Espresso was very good (I'm Italian and I'm very picky about coffee 😄). Recommended for a sweet moment.in Athens

    We had to wait for 1,5 hour for two pieces of cake. The ice cream was full of ice, carrot cake was too big and sour. Also, my bueno tart biscuit was hard as a rock. Two stars for the nice ambient and nice decoration. Would not recommend.

    Great place and desserts that are very full in taste🧁There is a mix of old flavors mixed with a hint of new ones. Some of the baklava is the eastern type that comes from Asia Minor/Anatolia and Smyrna. There is chocolate, there is the tree sap flavor too (mastic gum). Definitely most of the desserts are not the old school. Many people know about this place so it can be busy. The area is typically busy at most times because it’s Psiri (old and busy part of Athens). You can go into a chocolate comma but you have to try it at least once ;)

    Wonderful stop for desserts in a lively energetic area of the city. The owners were very kind to us and two of the service people explained the array of desserts to us in English. The desserts were over the top decadent and deliciously rich. The area was hopping on a Thursday night. So glad we had the opportunity to visit and enjoy Nancy’s Sweet Home!

    I have to praise the homemade lemonade here that wasn't too sweet, with a cinnamon stick in it and it balanced out the dessert perfectly. In total, it wasn't anything extraordinary, but it's a nice, cozy place to visit

    Fresh and delicious deserts. Coffee is good too. A bit pricy but portions are also big... So much to try. If you have a sweet tooth this is the place to go.

    The cake genuinely changed my life. The portions are great for either one each or sharing depending on how hungry you are, and it’s absolutely worth visiting before you leave

    The desserts here are heavenly. We got 4 types of sweets so we had what to choose from. We got panna cotta, lemon tart, cuinefe and ekmek (sorry if I wrote the names bad). They were so good and the portions more than enough. The staff is warm and welcoming. You should not miss this when you visit athens.

    Nice spot to catch your breath and have a good coffee with a fresh baklava. The music playing inside was a bit loud so hard to chat and outside cars pass by all the time. Friendly staff and order was prepared very fast.

  • 5/5 Stathis K. 8 months ago on Google • 47 reviews
    My visit there was a wonderful surprise. All the sweets were so nice. I chose the bueno one and it was superb. The staff was really kind even though it was a rush hour when I went there. Additionally, they offered me some extra sweets for free. I will definitely visit them again. Great experience all in all.

    The desserts were AMAZING. Everything was great. It took a little long to bring our deserts but they tasted amazing; specially the cheesecake.

    Very good location and awesome cakes. We had the most popular chocolate pie and it's definitly a must when you're wisiting Athens.

  • 5/5 R v B. 3 months ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    The best pies and sweets in the area. Enjoy it with Coffee. We had a Tapta Mix bueno! And free drink because they are 10 years in this store. Friendly waiters.

    First time visiting the place during the Christmas time, I don’t know why I hadn’t been there earlier.. We had the famous chocolate pie and kunefe with ice cream. It was more than enough for two people. The prices are a bit high consider to other places but it is definitely worth it.

  • 1/5 Basak E. 8 months ago on Google
    Good coffee super sweet carrot cake that you barely taste the part of the dough. It is too sweet and senseless to put such amount of sugar to the cream. (And I am a big swee fan)

  • 5/5 Sasa J. 9 months ago on Google
    Definitely THE best cake shop in Athens! Everything is always so fresh and tasty... Carrot cake tastes of childhood, Schwartzwald tastes of Black Forest! Portokalopita & Mastihia ice cream are A MUST!

  • 1/5 WSM 2. 9 months ago on Google
    We waited over half an hour for the order manager to respond to us and she was kinda grumpy and tired. The question is does the store offer their very popular cheesecake for free. It is a humiliation for customers to wait, and the shop is not crowded. It's a normal day and time, not a holiday. The cheesecake is very tasty and very creamy. You need to burn calories for two hours, walking and intermittent fasting for health and safety.

    It is such a busy spot that service is VERY slow even though the staff are quick, there just seems to be too many tables for the number of people working. With that said, once you order, your food will come quickly. The desserts are very good and easily shareable given the size! Would return for sure.

  • 3/5 Shushel G. 11 months ago on Google
    I used to go there every week, usually ending up ordering "zoumero" ("juicy") cake but to be honest the rest of the dessert although they look impressive they lack in quality and taste. Carrot cake is quite good though and so is the mille-feuille . Anyway, I stopped going because the prices now are RIDICULOUS and this is one more shop just addressed to tourists. 12 euros for a juicy cake with ice-cream? Get out of here!

  • 4/5 Katie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible deserts great service, brilliant music and a really calm atmosphere. Great interiors.

  • 5/5 Emily B. 1 year ago on Google
    I passed this place every night on my way back to my hotel, and it always looked so charming and cozy. To be honest, some of the other reviews deterred me but I went in tonight for take-away dessert and they couldn't have been nicer or more helpful as I selected a dessert which was fabulous.

  • 5/5 Ellz 2 years ago on Google
    Fast and friendly service even though they're always extremely busy! Super super delicious cakes. I had the wedding cake and it was honestly so ridiculously delicious and very generous portions. Also- the ice-cream is traditional Greek mastica ice-cream. Chewey and woody and unlike most ice creams one would have! I reccomend to come here, totally, if you are in Athens. My sister had the Greek yoghurt and honey. Huge portion and delicious delicious yoghurt. The jasmine tea was also lush

    Service was good and fast, the waiters were working hard and polite. We ordered the chocolate pie with ice cream and Nancy's cake. The pie was very good, the cake was stale, so hard you couldn't cut the sides without a serated knife. 3 stars for location and service.

  • 5/5 Milica S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice desserts, big portions and affordable prices. You can easily split one portion between two people. Bueno tart is delicious and creamy. Try kaymaki ice cream made from sheep milk because it pairs well with chocolate desserts.

  • 5/5 Giana 1 year ago on Google
    YUM!! So glad we came for dessert here. We ordered the profiterole (our waiter said “good choice, it’s the best!”) and the choco forest. Both were absolutely decadent! The menu dessert list is long, and the staff is very busy—but don’t let these things deter you! If you have a hard time choosing without pics or descriptions, just go with your gut because I’m confident you can’t go wrong here :) The staff are running around and doing an excellent job managing many tables. Flag them down if needed, they respond kindly! Once you finally order, the turnaround seemed to be quick. Enjoy! Great spot for people watching in Psiri neighborhood!

  • 4/5 Alex S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cozy place to taste Greek sweets. Tea price is too high - 5 euros! Just drink the water, it's free.

  • 4/5 Erik S. 2 years ago on Google
    There desserts look amazing! I stuck to local and was a little disappointed. This place is probably better with non-local desserts. Going midday is very rushed and crowds all around. Stressed hard working waitresses too! For COVID there is no seating inside with them. This could be a 5 star place but I went at a rushed time and ordered the wrong thing.

  • 1/5 Milko M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered 2 bomba bueno and it was true i was bombed comparing it to some of the basic low level sweet houses in glifada kifisia and attika this is the smallest most over prized thing you van get on e food really sad pure fraud and the taste was not as good as it was back in the days you could actually taste the unmelted shugar crunching in the bueno it was 2 out of 5+ on a taste scale

  • 5/5 itsick a. 2 years ago on Google
    I don't usually go to the same place twice when i'm overseas, but this one worth it. If you are up for something sweet that will be remembered, go there...

  • 5/5 Francesco Bianchi (. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovers of sweets and desserts, rejoice! This place won't leave you disappointed. The selections is huge, and the portions are WAY bigger than you'd expect. The staff is very friendly and the overall price is more than reasonable!

  • 4/5 Ahmad G. 2 years ago on Google
    Coffee was great, Crème Brulé was fantastic! The love cake though was disappointing. Not bad, I just had different expectations. It is too milky and sweet and the ice cream was mastiky while I expected vanilla. The water bottle was cool! and service is good. Although they kept spraying these disinfection sprays on the chairs when people leave which was not as nice. But all being said I would probably still go but order something else other than the love cake.
