You should be able to find a Greek bakery, or at least a Greek diner,
in just about any city. If you can't seem to find a place to grab
Mediterranean snacks in your hood, there's no need to worry.
Grecian Village, in conjunction with Hellas Bakery in Tarpon Springs
is a fantastic source of grecian sweets. They deliver nationwide!
When the owners found out that I'm involved in food writing, they came
running out of the dining room with pamphlets and business cards
advertising their "Online-Bakery". They actually distribute sweets to
many Greek restaurants around the country. Chances are if you've
nibbled on Koulurakia in more than one place in your hometown,
you've had a little taste Hellas Bakery.
Believe it or not none of us had a pastry during this trip to the sponge docks. Nanny, Mama and I all ended up with ice cream cones. Mama had a double cone with vanilla and chocolate chip cookie dough. I had a strawberry cone. They didn't have any rainbow sprinkles! What kind of ice cream place are you !? I guess it served me right not getting pastries in a pastry shop. Oh well, better eating next time.
