Welcome

Omonia’s oldest and staple location, the Omonia Café in Astoria has been open since 1977, when John Arvanitis immigrated from Greece to NYC at just 19 years old. John had a vision of bringing to Astoria something it didn’t have to offer, and what he left behind in Greece; thus opening up the European style Omonia Café.

In Europe, cafés are the largest meeting spots for people, a place where one felt comfortable, and more importantly, felt like home. With this vision, John opened up Omonia Café, which has since become a landmark in Astoria and a renowned restaurant and bakery.

People travel worldwide to buy Omonia’s famous pastries and savor a flavor of the homemade sweets and desserts that are so hard to find in our commercial age.
