Comments of Nikos Oakleigh
C. Z.
Absolutely amazing service by Sofia at Nikos Cakes! I went in with a cake emergency and she was able to organize and deliver not only a beautifully designed cake but also an amazing tasting cake! Thank you so much Sofia, I will definitely be coming and seeing you again for future event cakes ✨👏🏼
C. C.
Very busy cafe on weekends! Staff were friendly and helpful but other customers can get very loud and disruptive, wouldn’t come here for a meeting / chat though.
📷 Vegan spanakopita, Mango Mousse Cheesecake, Caramel Macadamia Cheesecake, Baklava
A. S.
This place drew us in while driving around Eaton mall Oakleigh. Massive selection of sweet treats. We tried a few types of Baklava and they were all so so good. I also loved the vanilla filled Baklava (forgot the name) which was perhaps my favourite. Rhe staff were very helpful particularly the nice lady at the counter who gave us reccomendations. Trust me you will be confused with so many choices.
H. J.
Super busy cafe in Oakleigh but nice customer service. Try their carrot cakes and cannoli. Not too sweet.
R. S.
Really nice joint in a "mini Greek town" in Oakleigh. Love the atmosphere surrounding it. I had the chicken panini and Galaktoboureko (devine).
P. B.
Having been turned down due to the short notice period by everyone else for our daughter’s 4th, we found Nicos cake online.. we ordered the chocolate with hazelnut fudge…it was by far the best cake that we have had in Australia…it was absolutely!!! Delicious 😋 😋😋 the chocolate cake was moist and the fudge hidden within felt like a match made in heaven!! The customer service experience was definitely par excellence.. thank you so much Sofia… you made the day so special.. will definitely come back for all occasions…Warm Regards… Deepa..🙏🏾🙏🏾😋😋👍👍🎂🎂
J. C.
A HUGE thank you to Sophia and all the staff at Nikos Cakes in Oakleigh.. I organised the most beautiful Baby Shower cake and it was beyond our expectations..complete with little booties on top of the cake. I actually cannot wait for another celebration so I can use Nikos Cakes again… Can’t thank you enough .
H. S.
Food looked great, however looks aren't enough as much of the food lacked flavour.
The coffee was sadly weak and was more akin to drinking warm milk. The lasagna looked amazing and had an ample fresh salad as a side, but similarly it was over salted and it tasted like it was barely seasoned with tomatoes.
Lemon meringue tart was sweet with hints of lemon, which is good if you just like sweet however the tart wasn't tart enough for me and needed more lemon.
Positively, the chicken and mushroom pie was delicious with a nice crust and generous with the cheese. Flat and with lots of chicken and mushroom it was delicious.
Environment was modern, but not enough social distancing and mask wearing from the employees part as most either weren't wearing, or was only protecting their chins which is not enough, especially after the new outbreak of corona.
L. J.
Great selection of food to choose from including delicious cakes. I had a chicken schnitzel in a panini. The coating om the chicken schnitzel wasn't very crispy, a little bit disappointing. I had a blue heaven milk shave and it was heavenly!
A. D.
We got married at Carousel, Melbourne recently and met with Sophia for our wedding cake planning. Nikos hosted us with a coffee and cake tasting and Sophia was very flexible and helpful with designing our perfect cake. Our final product was wonderful thank-you. There was barely any cake left at the end of the night as our guests loved it so much. Thank-you and definitely recommend
M. T.
Great coffee, amazing authentic Greek desserts - definitely one of the better quality desserts and have a range of vegan options!
Yet to try their savory items however it is next on our list!! Definitely worth the visit!
C. C.
Understaffed and the staff that are on aren’t engaged.
No signs on their polices for seating (Eg wait, seat self for table service, order at counter) so I asked. Which is fine. Chose my seat and waited 15 mins to be approached by a staff member.
Asked for water and a menu. Waiter put a menu and water on a tray. But needed to serve another customer their food first (which is fine). But rather than taking both and dropping mine on the way (one table over) they just went to the other table. Another member undid their set up and put the menu away.
Overall not bad, just not a place to go until they get more staff. I left so I can’t speak for their food but it looked nice. Went directly across the road and after having some time to read their menu at the door, then was greeted and served by a lovely light humoured lady!
D. K.
Called in with friends for coffee but we could not resist having lunch after seeing the fantastic selection of food.
Thank you Nikos for an enjoyable lunch and juice followed by coffee.

T. W.
Our wedding cake was delicious, and looked amazing. The care from the staff right from the start of the process, was so delightful and professional.
Love Nikos!
D. R.
Very Greek. Sat outside and could hear the old Greek men sitting around chatting. Good Greek coffee and food. Plenty of fancy cakes and sweets. Good place to get your Greek on or just have a coffee or a light meal.
C. C.
Omg! I never ever considered Nikos cafe for main meals. They were absolutely magnificent! Prices are great too. We couldn't get into Vanilla cafe, so we went to Nikos. They have a selected main menu of top favourite meals. I went for the moussaka. My friend opted for the chicken Parma. We were extremely happy with our meals. I think the moussaka was $19. A good price and portion to suit. The taste was incredible and very very authentic. I haven't tasted moussaka like this in 20 years. Nice simple and tasty like grandma's cooking. I had tried it at Vanilla cafe as my friend likes the steaks there, but I do not rate it as much as Nikos. Also, the portion size is much smaller and the price $10 more at around $29 from memory. I will most definitely be returning to indulge in the delicious moussaka. It is the best.
The only thing I did not like is the dressing on the salad as I forgot to ask for no dressing.
Top job guys. So glad that I tried your main meals and not just your desserts and coffee!😋😋😋😋😋
Went back Monday 13th January 2020 for a a quick dinner as I was feeling rather lazy to cook.
The moussaka was nice but this time 50% was white sauce and the layer or mince and eggplant was minimal. Bit disappointed but will still order it again. Nikos kitchen staff, any chance you can keep the moussaka consistent and not 50% white sauce. Sadly there was little meat and eggplant on this occasion.
E. G.
Good place to have a cup of Greek coffee and dessert. This place is always full pack and busy. Good for family and friends meet up. You can order a presentable birthday cake or wedding cake here but expect to pay top price.
B.
to that one KREAS who complained about the facemasks
you touvlo, if the staff have covid, a mask is not going to stop the customer from getting it too hahahahaahah
do you think the people that make your food in restaurants wear masks too????
if your barrista has covid, wearing a mask is the least of your concerns. get your head out of your kolo mate
S.
I have been on a Friday night for coffee and it was a great experience. The green tea and chai latte was awesome. We tried the Baklava and cheese cake, it was fresh and very tasty. The cheese cake quantity was really huge.
The wait staffs were really friendly and attentive. It was very much packed and still it was very quick service.
Highly recommended. Will definitely come back.

Would like to thank the man who continually filled my water glass while I was there, never have I had service like this before. It's a little thing but it made me feel better today.
A. S.
Fabulous!
I got the Galaktoboureko with Kataifi and Greek coffee ☕️
So many pastries and deserts, Greek vibe and nice staff
Highly recommend
D. o. L.
Good food , great range of desserts and typical Greek food. Fresh meals - lasagne was delicious.
Iced mocha tasted bad. Best to go early morning , would get better service n easy parking .
S. F.
Ordered a cake for my partner's birthday, great customer service, emails were responded to on time. Cake turned out to be amazing and exceeded my expectations, as well as my partner's! Very impressed, will definitely go back and order again! Thanks so much!
J. M.
I’ve been here twice and it’s an authentic Greek cafe! Greek sweets, Greek staff, Greek decor in a Greek suburb of Oakleigh! There is so much variety in desserts that you might feel guilty taking time out to choose! Staff are friendly and attentive and don’t mind a joke or two! Open till late so it’s a great place to hang out after dinner with the family! Has a decent size outdoor area which is dog friendly so perfect for afternoon coffees and cake too! I highly recommend the baklavas and black Forrest cake!
K.
Nikos cakes. A piece on Greece in Melbourne! Everything is fresh and unbelievably amazing. Frappe, all the Greek 🍰 make sure you try the bougatsa! Actually make sure you try everything available in the window. I promise you won't regret it 😊👌
A. S.
Delicious authentic greek desserts and sweets and also friendly staff. Not cheap though.
R. P.
I am truly amazed by Nikos! I ordered my first cake in March 2019 for my 21st birthday and I was in love. Ordering the cake was very quick and straight forward, there was no issues with anything at all. If I had a question, I could just shoot a message when needed.
Because I loved the cake so much I decided to order TWO more for two very special occasions — my mummas 50th birthday and my sister’s Baby Shower.
All I can say is... WOW 😍
All the designs and colours I had asked for were made to perfection. They were also able to suggest me topping designs when I wanted to change something about the cake that I was unsure about.
I can’t forget to mention how bomb the cake flavours were! Definitely for those with the biggest sweet tooth. I ordered flavours of: Chocolate Hazelnut (my 21st), Vanilla Caramel (mum’s 50th), and Vanilla Berry & Chocolate Caramel (sister’s baby shower). All were so delightful!
Nikos has done so well for all my events and I’m so excited to order more in the near future. My family members always ask who made my cakes because of how great they are!
Thank you so much Nikos, you deserve all this credit! 👍🏼 xx
S. V.
Always consistent great Coffee and Loukoumades! Try the Freddocino this summer for a super refreshing alternate to an Ice Coffee! Highly Recommend! Customer service is a hit and miss at times.
A. O.
Whenever I'm in Oakleigh I drop into Nikos. Great coffee, great service (and the baklava are pretty good too). Ευχαριστώ παιδιά!
R. R.
Best birthday cake for a great price.
j.
Thank you so much for being apart of our wedding and my wife’s bridal shower. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding cake so unbelievably perfect for us. You guys nailed the brief. Everything was flawless and family and friends all loved the delicious cake.
My wife and I are happy with professionalism, care and attention to detail that Denise and the team dedicated throughout the journey to make it a memorable experience.
Many thanks Joshua and Jessica
M. L. A.
They have all kind of pastries you can think of. We had a tiramisu, which was easy to have as it’s not that sweet and another pastry which was even better (don’t remember it’s name 😓)but yeah, we had a good time there.
P. P.

I love the white vanilla butter cream cake and delicious cold coke or coffee mocha with it.
It was lovely!
Staff was so friendly too!
I will definitely go back there.
K. M.
Been going to this cafe for over 10 years now, great Greek coffee and their sticky pudding to die for
N. D.
Consistently good coffee, great local cafe
H. K.
The only place to go when you want quality Greek sweets , cakes , pies , coffee and what money can’t buy ... nostalgia 😋☕️👌🏻
J. F.
Macadamia and caramel cheesecake was just divine. Great coffee and a lovely waitress that provided friendly service. A smile that costs nothing, goes a long way with me. Thanks for the service.
S. M.
Food, desserts and coffee are good even the customer service but you definitely need to do something about the smoking area and all the smoke and cigerette smell coming in the inside seating area through the glass. Way too much of passive smoking🙄
We wanted to have dessert but could hardly enjoy our food and then just decided to leave.
X. Y. O.
Great place to meet up with friends. This cafe closes 11 pm, plenty of time to chat with friends.
Good coffee and love the cheesecake we ordered (pictured)
Wait staff are very nice and friendly.
P. S.
Amzing cakes. We tried the choco karma it was the right level of sweet. The staff is so busy but still everyone is smiling and so warm and welcoming. Will try the baklava next time we visit
A. M.
Good food and great place for a family brunch. Love that it’s dog friendly
o. c.
So I have been coming to Nikos for a very long time, and in my opinion the quality of their cakes and sweets are fantastic. We don't go anywhere else for our bday cakes. However, if you want your cake to be as fresh as possible, make sure you place an order for the cake a day before and ask for their largest size to ensure it is made from scratch( they don't make the large size until its been ordered). Otherwise they pump out so many cakes in the regular size that they may have sat around for a few days.
I never sat down and had coffee here until last night but I was not very happy with the quality of the coffee and the table and seats looked like they sorely needed to be changed. The tables were so old, the glass on top looked cloudy and dirty from years of use and cleaning.
Overall I give this place a solid 4 stars because the sweets and cakes are some of the best around imo. Try the continental cake or the galata bureko, I recommend.
J.
Food good and service.
Had pastitio with salad really enjoyed it.
C. W.
Wedding cake- fantastic! We ordered our wedding cake from Nikos cakes about a year before our big day, they were helpful and gave great advice, I didn't need to stress about anything. On the day the cake arrived as planned and was perfect. Everyone enjoyed the taste of the cake and commented on how lovely it tasted and it was 'the best tasting wedding cake they had ever had'. Thanks again Nikos cakes for seamless service/delivery.
L. L.
Cake looked great! Taste and texture were good not fantastic.
R. M.
Their snacks and sweets are generally good, though a bit expensive.
Coffee is good too, however, they don't sell ice creams.
A. S.
You're either a Nikos man or a Vanilla man. Oakleigh regulars will understand, though competition has increased.
Nikos is still a great place for a frappe, a light bite and some cake!
J. L.
Delicious chai latte. Dog friendly. Very vibrant at night, even on a Monday. So many happy people 💞 Great place for a meet up. Smoking friendly.
C. S.
Lovely vanilla slice and cannoli. Agree with other reviews; customer service needs improvement.
H. B.
3 stars as prices are expensive - example currently around $8.30 for a small slice of takeaway Passionfruit Cheesecake, more when it's eat in! Frappe Coffee is reasonably priced and well made.
M. J.
One of the oldest Greek restaurants in Melbourne. Love the desserts and the friendly service. Really good place to spend quality time with your friends and family. Thank you for the fantastic service!
G. (.
Love this place to death, great coffee, friendly staff and unforgettable range of foods and desserts.
G. J.
Always enjoy there sweets ! Best in south Eastern side .
g. h. d. s.
Ordered a beautiful cake for a birthday celebration. Tasted delicious and guests were impressed.
Definitely recommend this shop!
B. M.
Popular restaurant. I had a great lunch at a reasonable price. Would visit again. The cake shop has a yummy selection too.
D. S.
Bougatsa!! Just get one.
P. S.
A tad expensive with wonderful Greek desserts that goes well with their coffee. I ordered baklava and also their frappe and was enjoying both outside in the open area seats. If you are okay with the smoking one may see the seating area is clean and are well serviced.
M. M.
Great coffee, friendly and smiling staff. It was 5 stars but the dessert has FAKE cream....so lost a point.
N. i. B.
Great food, great coffee, great cakes, great service at reasonable prices. They have a vegan spanikopita now.
J. B.
Great food, excellent vibe, the waiter we had was very accommodating to our needs and knew what they had available. Unfortunately unless you order separately you can't split the bill between multiple people.
A. K.
Great bustling atmosphere, friendly and informed service, and incredibly tasty cakes. The coffee was really good and the cakes appear to be made on site. The range is quite good and they seem faithful to Greek cuisine. Highly recommended. The staff were happy to explain the different options and very welcoming.
B. K.
Good strong coffee. Great atmosphere. Management are number 1. Especially Giota & Dimitri. Keep up the great work 🤙
S. B.
Food Quality is excellent, not cheap though.
N. P.
Good hot chocolates and tiropita is delicious too
R. B.
good local place to meet up and have coffee.
S. J. B.
The coffee was mediocre at best, the cakes were nice but the staff seemed completely flustered and out of their depth.
I. W.
Good size servings, great food, freshly squeezed juice, excellent service, worth going ro
K. G.
What can I say other than this place is DELICIOUS. I have been here so many times and it is always a buzz of activity and aroma of coffee in the air. Be it a quick coffee or a long meeting with cake this place in my opinion is the BEST in Melbourne. I have bough many a birthday cake from here and every single person has commented on how good it is. well done and keep up the great work
T. A.
Good coffee and great deserts
R. Z.
Food is great.
The ladies serving on the desert area are bit moody and they are like hurry up what shall I get you.
B. Y.
I haven’t had good Greek food in a while and this was excellent. I just needed more.
A. A.
Really great for everything
coffees and Sweets
I like their Greece coffee with cheese cake or lemon tart
S. H.
These guys know their cakes. That have a really wonderful selection and everything is amazing! The baklava is awesome here. Service is usually good, though the counter girls can sometimes be a little slow to serve you. Their opening times are long and great for an afternoon coffee.
a. v.
Cant go wrong with thier white hot chocolate!!!
T.
Excellent selection of sweets and savoury. Its a vibrant location.. always busy
M. N.
Very popular place, it was very crowded. We had a really nice cake that was surprisingly not deathly sweet which surprised and impressed me. Coffee was as coffee should be. We got a table tucked at the bottom of the stairs with staff walking up and down carrying stuff. Last table inside. Yes, I think I'll be back. But I'll wait for a better located table.
A. C.
Went there on a Wednesday night just before they close. Bought two Baklava's and a cake slice there are no price tags for any items and the bill was $15.90 and surcharge was $0.22 on a debit card. Such a busy restaurant still charges surcharge wonder why? Baklava tasted delicious though.
A. F.
This place is very expensive, they should learn to give back to the community, staff are nice
P. S.
Changing our review from a 5 to a 3 star. Cakes are great, have volume and not crumbly, perfect sweetness and great designs. However, each time we order a cake, something is missing when have gone in to pickup the cake. Last year our biscuits were forgotten. This year our candles were not packed.
B. B.
I have only ever ordered to go, but so far the coffee, brekky panini and loukoumades have been amazing. I don't need to ask for an extra shot because they make their coffees strong, they make my day because I get to have a good breakfast while I'm at work. The ladies behind the counter are always so lovely too!
E. M.
Atmosphere great.
Good portions of spanakopita,great.
Coffee is great.
What is not great is no prices are to be seen on all those lovely cakes.
Why waste time asking the busy staff when life can be so easy,by having a tag with a descriptio of the cakes and price.
Was told decision was made by management.
Xipniste pedia.
J. T.
There are a lot of sweetie, hard to choose😂 Coffee latte and yoyo all tasty.
L. F.
They know their cakes alright but, this place is
a little too busy for my liking.
It's quite difficult to find seats inside the seating area
so I had to sit outside, roasting in the sun.
I could've enjoyed my hazelnut cake better if a waitstaff had open
an umbrella.
M. P.
All great until my coffee was taken by staff while I was ordering dessert and then they tried to charge me for another coffee. But all fixed.
P. L.
Love the cakes and baklava at this place, however it tends to get too noisy and busy inside and if you are a non smoker cannot seat outside because everyone seems to be smoking. Very unpleasant to eat with someone smoking next to you. That's the only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5.
n. d.
Best Greek desserts in Melbourne
M. T.
They have very lovely cakes and sweets. Whenever we have a special event I always phone and order a cake and never had a problem with it. I have had my wedding cake made here and it was amazing. I have also had my sons first birthday cake made here too and again it was amazing.No complaints.
E. I.
Great for cake and coffee, or even a light lunch! Food is very well priced and full of flavour. Cakes are a bit more expensive, but well worth it for what you get. Service can be slow at peak times, but otherwise fantastic !
M. M. S.
My friends and I go there for cake and coffee. The only issue is that no cooked dinner could be ordered. I have to choose from the prepared meals displayed. We still go there as we love the atmosphere. Waiters and waitresses are always friendly too.
T. E.
Really love the cakes, biscuits and desserts here. Very decadent, and beautifully presented. Coffee is ok, but not great. Hate it that smoking is still allowed at their outdoor seating and if the wind has its way, the smoke blows unto the indoor eating area - can't enjoy my sweets in peace! So if you're not a smoker then get your desserts takeaway. The amount of smoking outside of this place tarnishes the quality of their cakes.
N. P.
I live 40 minutes away but I still visit every now and then because these are the best cakes in Melbourne. I have particular allergies and the girls are so helpful with me. Would recommend!
C. C.
It's got a good range of Greek dessert. The desserts are well presented and you can eat in or take away desserts. They cost more to eat in. You can choose to eat inside or outside, although when it gets busy you may have to wait to be seated.
h. a.
Iconic Oakleigh Greek Restaurant with friendly, efficient service, good coffee and an amazing selection of Greek sweet bites, cakes and more.
V. B.
Such incredible food, always so fresh and delicious. The little cakes and delights are always great with a coffee. I highly recommend Nikos cakes, the staff are always so friendly and the coffee is exceptional!
E. S.
Nice location and its luxury with friendly staff.
I like to be there every day.
S. M.
Excellent coffee and pastries
V. N.
I had my wedding cake made and delivered on October 12th, 2013. It was amazing. The cake looked exactly how we wanted it to, tasted amazing and we received many compliments about it. The customary thick wedding cake icing was the first one I actually enjoyed and could eat rather then the traditional large hunk of white mess left at the end. Would highly recommend this store for any cake requirements but as with anything, if you want quality, and you want something that stands out and approaches edible art, expect to pay for it.
D. T.
It's the best place for lunch love the service, love the food, I like that glass of fanta with the orange slice in it!! Very European!! The cakes are the best.being going for the past several years I would not change it for any other coffe shop. In summer i love the atmosphere it's pack with people outside it's like been in Europe at NIKOS. Oakleigh thanks guys for making us feel at home even though I'm Spanish. Love allways.
M.
I always love coming to Nikos with my husband. The desserts are delicious and the people are so friendly here! Our favourite is the server with dark hair long pony tail. She is an absolute darling!
F. N.
Thank you Nikos cakes for my dads 80th vanilla cake and my daughters 21st croquembouche cake, they both tasted amazing! This is the only cake shop I will be buying my cakes from. Thank you so much and the service has been fantastic. Very happy customers!
J. z. P.
Perfect on a sunny day to sit and enjoy a coffee and sweet cake (there is a large range and you are sure to find a favourite and for those who are gluten free or vegan you will find several sweet options).
The outdoors area is like stepping into a lovely plateía. It is a place to converse, be it gossip or business!
H. A.
Went to Nikos for Sunday brunch with my family. The pastries and toasted paninis we ordered were fresh and delicious and were brought to our table within a reasonable timeframe. However the store was very busy and loud at a level that made conversation (even with the person sitting directly next to me) very difficult. For this reason I would not consider returning to Nikos again at a similar day/time.
S. F.
Gets very busy at night but service is lovely and prompt. The slices of cheesecake are very decadent and quite generous too! Coffee is a bit hit and miss but for a late night get together it's pretty good
T. E.
Waiters were not particularly friendly, but very Greek. Coffee was excellent, very strong. The Greek sweet was delicious. And Eaton St Oakleigh is so cosmopolitan, tops in Melbourne.
A. S.
Traditional Greek desserts. Love this place
D. K.
Their specialities are sweets and coffee but the food is also excellent. It feels like a part of Greece. Good service and lots of chatter. You can also smoke outdoors (a plus for some and a minus for others).
s. 5.
Their baklava, melomakarona and loukomades are perfect - 10 out of 10. The passive smoke coming in from the outside needs attention.
A. L.
What's there not to love about desserts and cakes! Nikos was my wedding cake provider and I still have a slice of it in the freezer! They make beautiful greek desserts (Baklava!!!) and alright nice to have a cup of coffee with any sweets when I'm down in Oakleigh <3
S. K.
Desserts here look (and taste) amazing! Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely be back to try the food!
A. B.
I really like the coffee here and the Staff has always been nice with me so far.. The big disappointment for me are the cakes and "sweets": they look absolutely yummy but every time I order one they tasted like NOTHING.
L. C.
Wide selection of cakes but a bit pricey. $3.80 for a small canoli, shell was soft but custard was nice. Extremely crowded and noisy. Service was prompt and efficient but no smile
G. P.
Went to the newly opened Nikos Fairfield last Friday, Saturday and Yesterday (Sunday). Everything was nice from the service, greek coffee, chicken souvlaki, wagyu beef burgers .... BUT the Baklava and Galatobouriko have now gone to the top of my list as the best I have ever had anywhere, and I'm a greek with a sweet tooth who gets around so I know my sweets! Don't just rock up during peak times. This place is busy. Do a booking.
M. J.
Quality products, always consistent. hot/cold overseas staff need to take a tafe course in customer service. Sometimes great, other times very average service. Coffee really good...

Amazing cakes, biscuits and desserts. My wedding cake was from here and it was the best cake I've ever eaten (and I'm picky when it comes to cake). However we did have some issues with the timing of the delivery. It was 2 hours late.

A old favorite of mine.
The coffee is consistently good, the sweets always yummy and the paninis delish! What I like most of all is that they never rush their customers, and the wait staff is always polite and professional, this place is always buzzing in a good way.

I would like to say a Big Thankyou to the staff at Nikos.
My Mum had a medical issues yesterday while having lunch with a friend.
The staff jumped into action when they say what was going on.
My Mum is recovering and feeling much better, thanks to the quick action of the staff.

You want a GOOD coffee, an amazing frappe then this is your place! Cakes choices are limitless, always fresh, we only buy our birthday cakes from here, this is the place to be seen!

The service was great, milkshake ordered but they delivered a child size until our waiter realised that they sent the incorrect size, so after i had finished it he brought another proper size and i was shocked. Very happy with the service. The only downfall is the sweets are abit old

Really busy and thriving, good food which was delivered in a timely manner, excellent service from staff.
Saw a poor waitress spoken too disrespectfully by an entitled patron but she handled it well.
Only downside is noise but every restaurant in Oakleigh is noisy, I think everyone in Oakleigh has loud voices. Lol.

Was very warm and welcoming experience to be sitting down and be served and I forget to pick up my left over change of $14 but hopefully next time there might be a discount deal when I go there

I have ordered several cakes for my son over the past few years and each and every time the team at Nikos Cakes does not fail to deliver.. The Buzz Lightyear cake for his second birthday and the circus elephant cake for his christening have been amazing and taste fantastic also and are a talking point long after the event has ended.. Will definitely be going back for his next birthday cake. Thanks so much!

Loved this place. Met up with some friends and hung out for a couple of hours. The food was good and the sweets were good. Had a good time with friends. It can be busy! Very European. Good for something that's not the city.

Delicious! Fabulous food; massive serves at a seriously good price. We’re here on a public holiday and it is packed but we were seated and served by our lovely waitress almost immediately.

What a wonderful job Giota did this morning organising a delicious tiramisu cake for our 32 cyclists celebrating one of our riders 88th birthday.!
Not easy as the cafe was already very busy but fortunately Giota followed through with our pre booking of cake and coffee and all really enjoyed. Giota was a pleasure to work with in the organising of cutting of cake etc.

Very nice place to go out and dine with. Large selection of food, drinks etc. Plenty of space available, it's suggested to book a table before you go especially on nice days. Coffee there is pretty good as well. Nice place to go with your friends or family.

When in Oakleigh, visiting Nikos is a must! The cakes and other desserts are absolutely amazing. The staff are lovely and attentive, though they do get VERY busy. The coffee is also excellent.

My fiancee and I love going to Niko's as the atmosphere is amazing, the food is delicious and the staff are so friendly.
There is so much variety that we find ourselves trying something new every time.

One of the best customer service places, not too sure how authentic is the food and sweets but we liked their sweets. Nice place for quick eat and coffee, yet to try their cakes.

Excellent food for a great price. Anyone who doesn’t rate this place 5 stars doesn’t understand food. Much love and brilliance here.

Whether place with a big choice of sweets in Greek tradition. Nice attentive staff. Good atmosphere and vibrant location with a scent of Mediterranean Greece.

We ordered a cake from Nikos for both our engagement dinner and wedding and they were both absolutely out of this world.
They are now our go-to cake shop for every special occasion, which I think says it all!!

If you want the best New York Cheese Cake you have ever eaten, then look no further than Nikos in Oakleigh! It is not cheap, but it is worth every single cent, you have to savour each monthful while staring at the beautifully presented cake case wondering what on earth you are going to try on your next visit!

Went here for lunch with friends and the place was very busy. Nice to sit outside in the mall. I had a tasty Mousakka with a side salad. Prices were reasonable, I will go back and try the Panini as it also looked good.

When my friend come over from Brisbane we always make it a point to come here as enjoy their baked desserts if we can. It's like a pilgrimage.

Visited the newly opened Nikos in Fairfield. Evening menu was overpriced, small portions and not that great, coffee ok. Will go back for coffee but not meal.

Amazing service delicious authentic Greek cakes & treats to suit every palette. Ample sitting relaxed environment just ""WOW"
HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLEASE TAKE TIME OUT & RELAX

Nikos is always a little busy, and for good reason, the cakes are great and they do excellent drinks (tea, coffee, milkshakes) but the service suffers a little as they try to keep up with the constant flow of customers.
