Welcome to Yaya’S Cafe & Loukoumades

“ Does not get better than this ! Delicious food, a lovely ambiance, and served with a friendly smile. We tried a variety of Loukoumades, Almond Snowball Cookies, and the milkshakes, and everything was delicious. ”

“ I was eating across the street when I looked out the window and noticed Yaya’s. I looked at my parents who I was sitting with and being Greek said would you guys want loukoumades? I went as they were closing and they literally went in the back, made fresh dough and started making me my order. When I tell you these loukoumades are the real deal they are the real deal. The best loukoumades in the city. The owner was super friendly and I wish them all the best. Will definitely be back! ”

“ The loukoumades are absolutely delicious but that’s not what this review is about. I wanted to share my experience with the owner and her husband. They are truly amazing people. Super friendly and welcoming making you feel right at home. The place takes me back to Greece. The conversations are authentic, the drinks are refreshing and the atmosphere is full of charm and a real sense of community. Paraskeví and Clinton make me feel like I belong there. It’s a wonderful spot to meet new friends over a cup of coffee (or a latte) and some loukoumades. ”

“ We ordered a ton of different loukoumades for my son's birthday yesterday. The staff were super friendly - and even sang him happy birthday - and the loukoumades were all delicious. Crispy, tons of flavour. The kids at the party crushed them all...and now my son wants to work there. We'll definitely be swinging by more often. ”

“ Who knew one of the best loukoumades spots in the city wasn't in Greektown? Yaya's definitely does every grandmother proud with these delightful dough balls. Stopped by the cafe and tried: - Loukoumades: Easily some of the best in the city. They were fried perfectly, not overly oily while maintaining a soft and bouncy interior. The Greek Hero had that classic honey glaze which made the quality of the loukoumades shine through, while the Choco Swirl went over-the-top with its generous drizzlling of chocolate. - Freddo Espresso: Strong iced coffee, which was a good counter to this sweet tooth heaven. Place is small but well decorated. Prices are reasonable. People there create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend Yaya for a topnotch loukoumades experience. ”

“ I have been here sooo many times now that they have my phone number saved at this point! The first time I tried their loukomades, it was for a family friend’s housewarming and everyone instantly became a fan. Everyone was reaching out for them even though we had other desserts. Since then, I have brought these to every gathering I go and their loukomades have never failed me. Paraskeve and Clinton are gem of a person. Whenever I go there, I see familiar faces( their regulars have become my regulars) which also tells me about the community they have built. They take their time to explain the flavour profiles and how to pair them up( ask for hidden menu flavour that are not on the board. My favourites are Nutella pistachio and butter believe it). They also have other Greek desserts, coffee, shakes and ice cream. Just placed a big order with them and excited for my friends and colleagues to try it. P.S- If you are ordering on weekend, order in advance as they get super busy. ”

“ I ordered today from uber eats spinach and cheese pies for the first time, my friend pat recommended and I love it. They were handmade and very filling. Amazing I will recommend these place to everyone . ”

“ Amazing, family owned, wonderful couple, and their loukoumadis are phenomenal!! Anytime we're visiting family or friends' homes, this is our go to dessert. They're a BIG hit! Everybody LOVES them and often ask if we're going to bring some ”
