Titan Foods: It's not Goodbye, it's See You Later

You know when you live so close to a place and just never go there even though you know it’s great? That’s Titan Foods. They are the self proclaimed largest Greek specialty food store in America. I have only been a handful of times, and while I don’t usually buy much there, I do usually walk away with something from the bakery.

I heard recently that the building has been sold and they will be leaving after 40 years of service in that location. They are rumored to just be relocating elsewhere in Astoria, but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. So of course, I had to pay a visit to take some pictures.

Tomato and paprika chips, along with Oregano flavor. Also, what we think is…. tomato and cheese Cheetos? And some sort of cheese puffs? 1 euro? What a deal.

I took this one on purpose, for obvious reasons. It’s soap.

So much Spanakopita and other types of spinach pies… love it.

Greek sparkling water. But more importantly, Crazy Donkey beer.

So many cheese. Although, this is nothing compared to the Feta cheese bar.

In addition to this, they have an extensive olive bar. A shame I really dislike olives and I’m also not a huge fan of feta, although I will eat it, unlike olives (cannibalism? that’s the joke anyways)

Assorted Greek desserts at the bakery. Shortly after I moved in, my roommate at the time and I paid a visit and we asked for an assortment of desserts to try out. One thing I determined from that is that there was a lot of phyllo dough, and also everything was drenched in honey. That’s not a bad thing, but that was my impression of it.

I walked out with a spinach pie and baklava cheesecake. I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of the cheesecake, but imagine a piece of cheesecake inbetween 2 piece of baklava. Delicious.
