Reviews Victory Garden Cafe

Victory Sweet Shop Opens A New Cafe. The recent Victory expansion inevitably will cause some confusion. There are actually two different venues within this singularly addressed business. The bakery has been in existence since 1968. Victory added the Garden Café in 2012. I believe that listing these as separate entities is beneficial to both Victory and 'spooners.
The Garden Victory Café needs to garner a reputation exclusive of the bakery to properly inform the review reading public.
To be honest, our first venture into the café for lunch was mixed. My wife and I ordered a mini hortopita apiece. They both were dry, bitter, and the pastry had a distinctly burnt quality though it was not obvious to the eye. Our cappuccinos were everything one would expect. Baklava was fine, though not nearly close to the best baklava that I have eaten.
We did not order any entrées due to time constraints. Usually unstated, I reserve the right to re-review when that has been accomplished.

Where do I start? My experience working with them was FORMIDABLE! From start to finish, Anna made me feel comfortable and provided guidance with her years of expertise. I was looking for a place to celebrate my son's Christening. After visiting Victory Garden, I looked no further. The space was clean and beautiful. The blue wall looks even better in person. My idea to have a banner against the blue wall went out the window when I realized that it is a work of art. A small balloon garland and some flower arrangements adorned the ambience and were more than enough. Anna made the whole planning process easy, always responding to my emails and/or calls promptly. As far as the food, our guests all loved it. I could not he happier with the outcome. We had the strawberry shortcake. It was absolutely delicious! I will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Beautful, expansive space. Good food, great service, lots of interesting spaces. The back garden is outstanding and they opened it just for us. We loved it. We came for the desserts, the reknowned sister bakery on site is famous for them. The resteraunt doesn't seem to have taken off, it should be full of Greeks ;c). Perhaps it needs some tweaks. The high end Greek salads in the area come dressed and have as many or more non-lettuce items as lettuce (mostly tomatoes but lots of feta and olives, etc). The salad here has a chunk of feta but only a couple olives... It does not come dressed but has RW vinegar and olive oil on the table. I can't make an emulsion at the table. The haloumi was good, warm not hot, but small The Gyro plate was good, they made sure and gave me plenty of lamb as requested but ground??? and unseasoned???? A valiant effort. I should have saved a little lettuce and tomato from the side salad (which actually seemed more balanced than the entree salad) for the sandwich. The fries were fresh potatoes but could have been a little more done. (Maybe ask for crispy) The desserts were the best things. Loukoumades were great but not excellent, they needed a bit more flavor. I ordered a mouse cake. They brought the wrong one (almost the same) but it was very good. Beautiful space, great expansion of the business but needs a more experienced chef and attention to detail to make it competitive in Astoria.

I lack words to describe the attention and courtesy towards my family, and in special attention to my daughter. The food was excellent, and the unbelievable thing is that we arrived at 10:30pm and everything was freshly made. To top it all off, my daughter was talking dinosaur all the time, and we also ordered the children's menu for her, and the waiter heard her saying dinosaur. Result: on her plate came nuggets in the shape of a dinosaur and she was almost crazy with happiness! that is, it was a unique gastronomic experience and magnificent service. We will return for sure!
