Alexandra DoucetteSeptember 4, 2013So glad that this gem is steps away from our new apartment. Cappuccino float?!? SO GOOD. My French Omelet was the best I've had in a while-and it was just goat cheese and spinach; nothing crazy. A+
Athens is living up to it's reputation this season. Have a frappé on the terrace in the NONsmoking section and enjoy the view- which because of the gyms around here is excellent.
Christina RapestoAugust 1, 2011Def an older crowd... Awesome crepe with nutella n oreo cookie pieces... N frappe float light n sweet... Heavenly combo!!- Athens is now dividing it's outdoor space into smoking and nonsmoking. What a great innovation. Try the lasagna and the cavatelli when you come.
neerad jet .January 4, 2012Is the frappè a Turkish drink the Greeks stole like baklava. The frappè is great here regardless .
DeanJune 18, 2013Good place with standard diner food. "Cafe" only because of their dessert. Standard "Greek" service as well. Not that good. A bit pricey. Read the menu before you sit down.
Ash LPNovember 14, 2010Great staff, delicious coffee and good brunch prices. My favorite place to go on the weekends.
Ahmed EnanyMarch 23, 2012Why is it always so damn loud in here. It defeats the purpose of having such beautiful women go there if I have to shout just to introduce myself.- neerad jet .January 4, 2012Is a frappè a Turkish drink the Greeks stole like baklava. Regardless get the frappè here
Christina TApril 8, 2011Shut down by health dept 2x at 160+ points and re open very next day with A?!? Eww u couldn't pay me, caution upon entering
- Athen's allows smoking on the terrace, which is its worst aspect, but if you are really lucky no one will be doing so, and if you are somewhat lucky, the wind will be blowing it away from you! Either
Athens has the hottest bartender and waiter. You don't need to eat, your eyes will be feasting on these hot studs.
Corinne ProctorNovember 10, 2012Nice place to hang out- but only go if you're in a leisurely mood. Service is soooooooooooooo slow.
Madame LoloSeptember 15, 2009get the best cafe frappé in town plus u can have a cigarette on the terasse just like in Greece
Dina FierroSeptember 25, 2010Don't be afraid to ask for your check - if you don't, they may never bring it!
- Have the Carmel cheesecake and a long look at the bartender!
Worst service ever and just ok food, but the location and outdoor seating/people watching generally makes up for it.
Ryan TurnerJanuary 17, 2011First time back after they were closed down by the Health Department for less than 24 hours.
Overpriced. Frappe is good, the food - not so much. Drinks are way too expensive!
