Athens Bakery: from the people who gave us the Olympics

It's only fitting to visit a Greek bakery on the opening day of the Olympics. Aside from giving us a once-every-four-years spectacle, the Greeks also invented loukomades! These are fried dough balls soaked in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. And they serve them fresh every half-hour at the Athens bakery on the Danforth. I find that the best beverage to enjoy them with is unsweetened tea, otherwise the sweetness could be cloying. Athens bakery also serves spanakopita, or Greek pastries with cheese or spinach filling, as well as a choice of coffees.
