Reviews
I ordered a pizza burek and hurmasica to go. Pizza burek was a great size, and you can easily break it into two meals for lunch. Tastes just like real pizza, it has cheese, mushrooms, looks like ham, and pizza sauce. Breading was flaky, careful because it is very hot. The hurmasica came from the display, it is a Bosnian dessert. It is not sweet, very moist, and you can definitely taste that syrupy flavor. I should have ordered more of those. I recommend people order their food and the Balkan desserts.

I finally got to try this place out since it’s so close to me. I would say this place is great for lunch and snacks. Most women come here for the desserts and for ordering cakes. I wanted to try their Balkan menu. This is probably the 6th Balkan place that I have been to. Balkan food portions are always generous for the prices. Prices are more than reasonable. You order the food at the counter, then find a seat if you choose to dine in. I ordered komplet lepinja and euro crepe. This is the only place that I have found that has a variety of different bureks. The other place I went to only has cheese and meat. Service was good. The owner was very pleasant. It did not take long to receive my food. Seating can be limited, about 8 tables. Parking is shared and it’s not a huge parking lot.
-komplet lepinja 5 – I like the presentation of the bun with the top, with eggs and roast pork. There is kajmak mixture. Eggs were cooked well. Roast pork was tender and soft. The bun itself was crunchy and easy to cut. It’s a very unique dish.
-euro crepe 5 – it has eurocrem (hazelnut and sweet milk chocolate) and plazma (biscuit). It’s not sweet. It’s well balanced. Aesthetically pleasing.
The toppings were a variety of flavors that were completely inconsistent, some spicy jaw breakers, old strawberries with edible pearls, sour watermelon gummies, jaw breakers gum, disgusting pink chocolates, and inedible flowers. I was told to not eat the flowers before I left the shop but expected to be able to eat and enjoy the other edible decorations.
When I called the shop and shared how utterly disappointed I was with the cake quality I was told they’ve never have had a complaint in 8 years (a lie, there are many complaints right here on Google) and that I should just scrap off the top layer of the cake including the decorations and eat the rest (throwing away 30% of what I paid for) and that she did not know what we did with cake.
I told her the cake was 95% uneaten and sitting in front of me. And she said she wouldn’t reimburse me for anything. It was my 38th bday cake, my 20th anniversary from home visit, and a complete waste of money.
But what’s most important to me is that there was a confusion about the due date and Tanja made it work! Mistakes happen, but not all businesses find a way to resolve them.
Thank you, Astoria Café & Bakery, for making the end of the most important day for me so memorable.
Lisle is a more remote town, despite the highways around it. Me and my wife were here looking at houses for that reason.
We love local businesses, especially places that boldly profess the origin place of their food. So we decided to stop for lunch here.
Folks. THIS is a café. Comfy furniture, fresh made light desserts in a fridge-display, fresh in-house coffee.
The owner-operator greeted us with a spring in their step as we walked in, and suggested the Komplet Lepinja, a family recipe. And it was simply divine. Crunchy crust, soft interior, savory cheese sauce and pork cooked to perfection. It looks modest, but it will fill you to the brim!! Me and my wife split one, and barely finished it.
If I get the opportunity, this will be my main project shop from here on. Though the 1 hr drive from where I live makes that unlikely. Everyone, come here and enjoy!!!
