Athena's Greek Cafe Bakery

Very delicious! The Dolmades are perfectly prepared. The potatoes were a hit. The beef very tasty, seasoned perfectly. The bread was good. The desserts are also delicious. I highly recommend Athena's. Can't wait to try their Moussaka when it's on their menu.

I visited Athena's for the first time and had the chicken plate with a side of potatoes. It was superb - I enjoyed every bite. For dessert, I tried their triple layer strawberry cake and it was amazing. The friendly atmosphere and exceptional service made for a great dining experience. I just love this place!

Wow! Did a search for 'healthy ' on Yelp and came across this place. Don 't worry it 's not a funky, vegan, gluten free hippie place; just not a greasy hamburger joint either. Took the family here and we stared at the menu. My 14 year old daughter was asking questions about everything, and my 21 year old son was putting up his spoiled, non thankful attitude. Both were not too eager to try 'Greek food. ' My wife got the Chicago, my son had the beef gyro, my daughter had the chicken and I had the original. Before that however, we started off with the meatballs for an appetizer. When we opened the box, there they were: 5 big, lumpy, dry looking meatballs. Ugh. Then I tasted one. I need to know what seasonings they use because they were marvelous. And not dry at all. Don 't be fooled by the looks. Then we got back to the goods. The potatoes and salad were amazing. The dressing and lemon type sauce on the potatoes could have been poured into a glass and I would have drank it. And then the best for last. The gyros were so ridiculously good that I did not want to take my last bite, because I didn 't want it to be gone! As for my son? He totally jumped 180 degrees and thought it was DELICIOUS! This place is a NEW favorite and we will DEFINITELY be going back!

One of the best places to eat in Bakersfield!! The food is outstanding. The meat in their gyros is the most tender and flavorful I've ever had!! Tonight we had the Chicago gyro and it was amazing. Besides the food, the owners are the most friendly people and he cooks all the food right in front of you. You must try this wonderful restaurant!!

Bakersfield 's hidden gem, long before Guy came along. Delicious healthy food choices and sinfully indulgent desserts. A must add on to your 'go to ' restaurants in town.
