Athens Cafe
Welcome to Athens Cafe, a hidden gem nestled in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. Located at 4080 W Broadway, this cozy cafe has become a beloved spot for those craving authentic Mediterranean flavors. With a diverse menu that caters to both meat lovers and vegans, Athens Cafe promises an unforgettable culinary experience that transports your taste buds straight to Greece.
As a self-proclaimed food enthusiast, my journey through their menu was nothing short of delightful. The gyros here are a standout, as noted by David Stussy, who praises their "great flavor." If you're feeling especially hungry, I recommend indulging in their lunch special, which perfectly showcases the generous flavors and portions that Athens Cafe is known for. You won’t be disappointed!
The appetizers are worth a mention as well; the hummus, priced at just $7.99, is a must-try, as Rachel points out. Paired with fresh pita, it's a snack that exemplifies simplicity and great taste. Don’t overlook the classic spanakopita and the crispy falafel, which add a delightful contrast to the rich flavors of the entrees.
When it comes to mains, choices like the lamb kebab and the massive gyros platter are crowd favorites. Michael Winkelman’s experience encapsulates the essence of Athens Cafe: “genuinely Greek generous” portions and “friendly” service ensure that every meal feels like a warm embrace.
The ambiance, described as a dive in the best way, invites customers to enjoy their food in a tranquil and efficient environment. As Damon Jones so beautifully articulated, the experience is all about comfort and satisfaction. Be prepared for hearty portions—the souvlaki with fries is notorious for its size, while the flavorful tzatziki adds a perfect tang to every bite.
If you're in the Robbinsdale area, Athens Cafe is a nourishing stop that delivers both amazing Mediterranean fare and a welcoming atmosphere. With their commitment to quality and flavor, you're bound to find a new favorite dish. Call them at +1 763-504-0757 to place your order, or better yet, stop by and treat yourself to a delightful meal that truly honors the heart of Greek cuisine.

“ The food is great and the server has an amazing personality, keeping the tension at bay from my 8 year old sister who was NOT happy about trying new type of food for our whole family, made things easy to understand and my sister ended up eating our food instead of her burger, she insisted I wrote about our experience and she was blown away as was I. Would definitely recommend for everyone! ”
“ I knew I was in for a good time when I walked in. I had already placed a takeaway order over the phone (the most recent menu is the last two photos on the Google Listing), but my initial reaction was glee inside when I walked in. Total dive, in the best way. No one was really seated and staying, everyone was doing takeaway like me, but the guy at the counter was nice, the cook wasn't yelling his head off, the place was quiet and efficient. Definitely a welcome environment, seriously. I got the souvlaki with fries, and my family each got large lamb-&-beef gyros. We also got onion rings, a couple orders of Spanakopita, falafel, and extra Hummus. My God. I am pleased. The gyros and souvlaki were all HUGE. Meaty. The spanakopita were huge slices. Tzakiki was perfect. Hummus with the onion rings was incredible. The souvlaki sauce was Hummus. Absolutely nuts. So good! Worth the cost, glad I tipped. New favorite local Athenian spot for sure. ”
“ The Hummas here is amazing! All you need is a fresh bag of pita bread and a container of hummas for a great snack! ”
“ Outstanding spot in Robbinsdale. Use to go alot 20 years ago when I lived in the neighborhood. Drove my daughter back to college today, stopped in for lunch. Two Gyro Specials....so much meat for the price. Great Tzatziki, great fry's also get a drink for 13.99 might be the best lunch deal in the twin cities area for the amount of food (serious amount of meat!). Also got some baklava so good as well. My 19 year old Daught was really impressed as well. Great place and people. ”
