Manos Bakery Cafe

This place is a gem!! My husband and I would visit very often when we lived in Largo and now that we moved farther, we still make sure to visit at least once a month. EVERYTHING is delicious and home made. The service is fantastic and the orders are prepared very quickly. The owner, Manos, welcomes you when you walk through the door with a smile. You can't say no to great prices and fresh products. The absolute original Greek flavor and freshness in Tampa Bay!!!

I can't believe I hadn't been to Mano's Bakery Cafe sooner. I am always in Clearwater. This time, I finally decided to stop by. I wanted a bougatsa which I've also never had before. It's like a phyllo wrapped dessert with custard in the middle. It's a good size, maybe like a small wrapped burrito but not fully round since it's custard inside, and it cost btw $4-5 dollars. They say it's bomb here, and it was pretty good. Pretty happy I tried it! They also have other types of meat pies, and spinach pies, and pastries, and some desserts like the typical Greek Baklava. They have an array of sandwiches here as well.I like how there's another area with Greek Groceries, those are fun and cool to see the type of selection they have.They have a few outside tables with no shade, and a good amount of tables to sit inside. I'm glad I stopped in.

Well once again I visited this shop to pick up a few goodies before the start of Orthodox Lent. Lagana (Greek Lenten bread) as well some halva for myself...think nougat laced with cocoa here...and feta for my dear non Orthodox Queen Bee. Odd part about that: she fasts along with me for the most part, albeit not quite as strictly. Anyway: the counter girl was friendly as is most of the staff in there. Mr Kranias himself was way in the back by the ovens chatting away in Greek to his Hellenic confrere. One thing I noticed is that as his shop has gotten bigger and busier over the several years I've gone there...I see him less and less in the front and haven't spoken with him in kind of awhile. Anyway: once Greek Easter finally comes and goes I'll likely be back for my regular nomnom noshes in the near future...stuff like kreatopita, tiropita, galaktoboureko and maybe koulouria (Greek bagels) too. It's nice to see they've started offering more grocery type items (candy and sweets, for example) as well as their usual baked goods and lunch fare. Most of it is Greek, which is fine by me...so am I, as it turned out.

Sweet family vibe, some gentlemen playing backgammon out from, a great Gyro Greek salad, and COOKIES..... so good, lol. Nice staff, casual environment, and well displayed lunch, thanks

This place can't decide whether it's a tea room, Café, bakery, or a lunch spot! But it's all good! For $13 and some change I got fries, 2 pieces of bread, a gyro sandwich, a generous supply of tzatziki sauce, and a Greek salad! Sorry, no pictures of the bread or fries, I ate them while driving. This is a much better deal than the last gyro place I visited in Seminole. 3 cheers for family owned businesses!

Home for the holidays and Manos was a necessary stop. It's been since time since I've been in and was pleasantly surprised with the expansion. Lots more room for the excellent pastries and baked goods that I've come to expect. Excellent service and food as always.

Very cute little cafe, limited parking out front but additional space on the side of the building. I got a veggie wrap which was good, but the dressing was mostly oil and the wrap itself didn't have a lot of flavor. The cannoli was very good. I'd like to come back and try some other menu items.

We stopped here based on other reviews. It wasn't fancy, but we were greeted right away. The gentleman behind the counter made some recommendations but we Settle on a beef pie, a spinch spanokopita and a cream-filled pastry to share. Everything was exactly as expected and our choices were very good. Lunch cost us slightly under $10.00 each. This is very reasonable for the area.

Manos has been great for a decade and still is fantastic. It's a hidden gem for hand made Greek style food. They have great pies filled with spinach, cheese or meat. I like to buy them unbaked and cook them at home. They are worth the trip alone. The cookies are so good too. Manos serves a selection of sandwiches and hot food too though it's more of a deli than a restaurant. There is plenty of seating. Mr K, as another reviewer called him is charming and ever present. The shop and kitchen are immaculate. I always enjoy a trip to Manos. Fresh and delish!

Been going here for years, great food, always fresh and well-prepared. Super desserts. I like supporting local folks who do a good job.
