History

Victory Garden Café was originally founded in 1968 by the Sakalis Family as a Greek pastry shop known as Victory Sweet Shop. Each pastry item on their original menu was hand-crafted from traditional Greek and Mediterranean recipes. With family ties to top chefs and bakers, this family-owned café quickly became a popular spot in the heart of Astoria. In 2012, the Sakalis Family expanded and opened the Victory Garden Café as it is today. By transforming the space and recreating their menu, they created an entirely new venue while maintaining the classic charm of the original Victory Garden Café.

Excellent Wedding Venue!

After, searching a number of different places, I decided to visit Victory Garden Cafe. Right from the start it was a pleasant experience. I picked the menu and decided to also have my ceremony there as well. The Event Planner, Anna, guided me throughout the process. The venue provides in-house decorations and menu design free of charge. It was a great experience. My guests were amazed at what the space offered. The food was delicious and the cake was delightful and made by their bakery. Would definitely recommend. I will be planning more events here!
