Lukumadness

What a delight. The food is fresh. Paninis are large and can be shared. The small donuts are made fresh frequently and I like the simple cinnamon honey. The lemonade is a nice balance of sweetness. And many dishes are served on lovely white gold trimmed dinnerware. Such a special touch.What is also delightful is Momi the owner. His friendliness and joyous attitude make eating here a pleasure. The cafe is quaint and the diners are also friendly. Just a great atmosphere! Momi also keeps the cafe sooo clean. All of these make Lukumadness a wonderful place you should frequent. I know i do! And say hi to Momi who will treat you extra special.

This was my 2nd visit to lukumadness and there will be more to come! I was eager to try a panini on this visit and it was overall delicious but the bread really stood out - it was perfect! My friend and I split 2 things which were the burrata panini and the falafel dish. I love falafel and unfortunately, there aren't many (if any) quality places to get it. This falafel was so tasty and also more authentic than others in white plains. For dessert, i decided on the bombolini (spelling?), which resembled an american donut. I chose to have one with custard and was impressed when i saw that they filled the custard on the spot. When we placed our order, all of the food was made on the spot. Oh and i was too full and ended up saving the bombolini for the next day... it held up perfectly. Im already thinking of what I may want to order next time! Lukumadness isn't in the downtown area so I hope people know about it because the small and friendly business deserves to thrive!

FANTASTIC PLACE!!! Best coffee I ever had! Delicious food, great service, lovely atmosphere. You sit and everyone interacts. A true family atmosphere. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Wow!!! Absolutely speechless. My wife and I decided to give this place a try after seeing the amazing reviews, and it truly did not disappoint. We came in for dessert, and every bite was unforgettable. The Lukumadness was out of this world, perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, and the cheesecake, imported all the way from France, was absolutely divine. Beyond the incredible desserts, what really stood out was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both flavor and hospitality, and this place has it all. This is officially our new go-to spot for both food and dessert. If you’re looking for something delicious with service that makes you feel right at home, look no further—you won’t regret it!

Wow, what a gem! Im instantly in love with this place, for numerous reasons. If you're a desserts enthusiast like myself, it might be difficult to choose just one thing! Upon my first visit, I of course had to get the lokma Greek donoughts, & I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were made right in front of me! You don't get any fresher than that. Went with the pistachio topping and each little ball was the perfect 2 bite treat. (I think a large order of these would be great for a party). For a beverage, tried the house lemonade, which was made with mint. Im not a huge mint fan but however it was proportioned was perfect because it tasted like traditional lemonade, but with just a hint of something different. Refreshing! I wish I hadn't just eaten lunch because EVERYTHING looked so good.. Ive heard good things about the paninis, because the owner makes his own bread. Im semi-familiar with Greek food and the menu had a nice combination of dishes Im familiar & a fan of.. But also a good many dishes that I have not before tasted. I have spent time in Lebanon (a neighbor of Greece), and I can't put my finger on what it was, but just being inside this cafe reminded me of ones Ive visited abroad. The very friendly owner happened to be taking our order, and besides being welcoming, he seemed to truly take pleasure in the preparation of his menu. His passion for serving the food he does, was obvious. It always makes me happy when I know Im supporting a local, small business. Later this week, Ive already decided that Ill be ordering something savory from here for dinner, and having it delivered. White Plains is sadly lacking in establishments that serve Mediterranean cuisine. Im excited to journey through this cafes robust menu!!

Wow! My boyfriend and I came here by chance just for coffee and got so much more. The lukumadness fruit symphony was mouth watering and I don’t even care for prosciutto but had a bite that changed my mind of the prosciutto panini. So many other imported from Europe goodies that I can’t wait to try. Also, the panini you could choose a bag of chips or fresh lemonade- get the lemonade ! The staff are so personable. I’m for sure coming back here as they’ve landed a spot on my top eats in westchester.

Doughnuts were absolutely incredible. Service was amazing never met a friendlier coffee shop / restaurant staff. Atmosphere is clean nice and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back here on regular basis. The greek ice latte is probably the best coffee in town.

They gave us free samples (delicious!!). The people there are generous and friendly. Everything was amazing! Best hot cocoa in Westchester. We will come back ❤️

Really good! Excellent customer service. Came here after a hike, and couldn't have been more pleased to randomly stop by. Ordered the Greek frappe, pastrami hot, Greek donuts (lukamadness transitional). Inside is cute bright yellow. They don't have outdoor seating but the spot next to them does, so we sat outside hehe... Definitely worth a stop to enjoy. Will be coming back here!

Best lunch spot in North White Plains. Great salads, great array of desserts and Panini's to die for also great Coffee highly recommend.

What a fantastic find! This was my first time stopping in. We had met a friend for lunch down the street and then ventured off to find a place for a good coffee. Not only did we find great coffee, we ended up with the most amazing lukumadness donuts! We couldn't resist and ordered the classic donuts. The donuts are light and airy with cinnamon sugar and honey. Very memorable and Absolutely delicious! Loved them! All the pastries were so tempting and we were sad that we had already eaten! I will definitely come back and try one of those killer salads or crêpes. Momi, the owner couldn't have been more gracious. Everyone there was super friendly and took pride in their creations. I loved all the pastries and cakes and gelato from Italy. so many treats, so little time...

Came through from the city! To check this place out. As a Greek myself I'm big on trying our cafes especially if they have loukoumades since I grew up on them. As we pulled up it's kinda in the middle of no where white plains which maybe normal for the area but I can see it being an easy place to get to if you live near by. Def dominates in Greek treats and even some have a little flag on them. It's very nice and clean inside which I appreciated and they have a bit of everything. The coffee was good. We had just a oatmilk cappuccino which was good! The loukoumades were excellent! I ordered classic since it was early but also because this is how we really have them. The staff was really nice and friendly. To my surprise though the owners are not Greek! So I think it's cool that they have done a good job making loukoumades and expanding the dessert in many different ways. I'm big on authenticity and would have appreciated it to be recognized as a place that has a lot of Greek desserts and foods rather than a "Greek place" if that makes sense.

Scrolling back through my photos I realize I skipped over a deliciously delectable dessert delight that my wife and I partook in back in October. What absolutely amazing alliteration do I speak of? What tasty treat am I tantalizing you with? Do I sound crazy, looney, mad even? Well that's because Lukumadness has made me crazy! Now if that name confuses you, then perhaps you're not familiar with the word loukoumades as that's what the title of this small yet friendly storefront has going for it. Loukoumades are a Greek/Mediterranean honey puff that are served hot and often have cinnamon and/or powdered sugar on them. But slow down on doing something normal because remember, Lukumadness is mad (in a good way)! Not only do they have the classic kind of puffs, but a wonderful assortment of toppings that have been concocted as well. For instance, my wife and I got the fruit symphony which consisted of topping those puffs with strawberry, banana, and Nutella. Yum! We also tried the pistachio heaven loukoumades which had a pistachio cream drizzled on top along with crushed pistachios. Outstanding! Both of these were beautifully plated for us by the friendly woman who worked (and probably owned) this small spot. Her and her husband (who later showed up and was equally friendly) have a few tables inside Lukumadness where you can sit and enjoy these delectable little balls. There's also plenty of other pastries, hot food, and some great coffee (we had an iced latte) as well. Though if you can't stay, loukoumades do travel relatively well and so we got two orders to go. We actually paid for plain ones with just the honey, but the husband of the couple upgraded them to that pistachio heaven level for no extra charge. Honestly I was looking to just try them on their own, but I won't take any stars away from that piece because it was the thought that counts (plus the pistachio is legit!). Overall, legit can be said for all of Lukumadness. This place is definitely a hidden gem that I oh so wish was closer to where I live. Though the interior isn't very big, it holds a personal fried dough favorite (with so many awesome variations) that I hope to get to try again soon. I mean I don't want to go mad if I can't have them. Do I?

This Greek specialty cafe is a great addition to Westchester county New York. Food & Beverage: These mini greek donut holes that taste similar to Italian Zeppolis are to die for! So chewy, crunchy and flavorful at the same time. It definitely has a more creative spin. My drink was the rose macchiato and it was so unique and fragrant. Parking & Location: It has its own private parking lot with free spots. It is on the border of White Plains and North White Plains. Atmosphere: The owner Momi is friendly and welcoming. He bakes a lot of his desserts in house. Restaurant has a restroom that is handicap accessible but it is located outside of the cafe. It was newly built. Make sure you wear your coat if you use the restroom. Verdict: You definitely won't be disappointed if you try this cafe. Highly recommend!!

North Broadway in North White Plains has been brimming with new eateries and we're loving it! Take Lukumadness- just two doors down from Ralph's Italian Ices. Serving up mousse, cake slices, Greek baklava, prepped salads, spiral spanakopita, iced+ hot beverages, etc in this sit-down café. The folks here are better known for their Loukoumades which are fried on the spot to golden perfection dough balls AND, are light-as-air. Nowhere near heavy donut holes if you're wondering. They're covered in their traditional honey syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon+sugar for a delightfully sweet treat. Or, you can go wild with Nutella or chocolate syrup (not sure what's used). I, got their popular 'Pistachio Heaven' with a tasty drench of pistachio+honey cream(?) and crushed pistachios. I had to have at least one- the rest I shared with mom. Serious. Price was reasonable and service, incredible.

Absolutely loved it here! My family has been eating loukoumades for years. It's been so difficult finding a place that's open year round that sells them. I'm so glad that this place opened! Their loukoumades are fresh and made to order. We ordered the original ones, our favorite, but the owner insisted we try the pistachio ones. I'm so glad we tried these! They were warm, fresh and delicious! I tried the cold chai too. It was very refreshing. I can't wait to stop back in and try more of their food options including the fresh pastries, freshly baked bread, paninis and salads. I'm happy that this place opened! I highly recommend it!

Such a cute hidden gem. I got one of their paninis and it was very delicious, and came with a lemonade fora drink. For dessert, we got their Greek version of a Zeppoli, if you've ever had that. They were so light and airy. Might even be better than is Zeppoli, in my opinion. Definitely am going to go back and try a different Panini next time. I also want to go back and try their coffee.

My husband and I stopped by Lukumadness in White Plains, and it was such a treat, literally! The loukoumades were incredible, crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, and perfectly drizzled with honey and toppings. It's the kind of dessert that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is. And the lattes? Absolutely delicious. Smooth, flavorful, and made even better by the fact that there are plenty of plant-based milk options, which I really appreciate. The café itself has a cute, cozy vibe with plenty of seating, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your treats. It's clear that Momi, the owner, puts so much care into everything here, from the coffee to the pastries and paninis. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a truly special and sweet treat, Lukumadness is it. We're already planning our next visit!

Love this place! I go here all of the time. Owner is so nice and inviting. He's comforting and makes everyone feel like they are at home. Pastries and coffee are great. My husband loves the Panini's and the lemonades are good also.

Every thing was delicious! No bad choices Service was friendly and accommodating Ambiance was quaint and welcoming

We felt like part of the family upon entering! We had just been talking about loukamades and came upon this cafe while traveling through the area. We had our pup and they let her roam as long as she wasn't a biter. They filled the doggy bowl and made our hot chocolate, matcha latte and Greek coffee. The loukamades were just as they are made in Greece. It was like being back there! We'll definitely be back!

WOW! Latte was amazing, (they offer pistachio milk- like WHATTT!) owner was so kind, constantly checked on us & small talked with us! Now the star of the show- THEIR GREEK DONUTS OMGGG They just opened a month ago & I'm sure they'll be in business a long time. The owner deserves his flowers! Bravo!!!!!

Our first time coming here after seeing them on Chanel 12. We drove from out east LI just to try their desserts and yes the drive was WORTH IT. Momi Baht (owner) gave us some great insights of the different pastries they had until we decided on one. I got the Lukumadness with strawberries/banana and nutella, it was so delicious, FRESHLY MADE. The atmosphere is very cozy from the moment we walked in until we left. Will be coming back soon

Great food and service. I appreciated that the desserts that were meant to be served warm were served at a perfect temperature.

The owner was very friendly, he greeted us when we entered and told us about everything. The food was great, I got the lemonade which was amazing, my sister got the lukumadness classic and it was amazing! First time having Greek food and it was great! They played music in the background and the owner liked to sing! Five star!!

Needed to grab a snack and stopped in. Loved it. Seating for ten. Owner very friendly and engaging. Hot and cold coffee, paninis (very good), wide selection of baked desserts which were VERY good. Donut holes with all kids a decadent toppings for any sweet tooth. Try this place!!

After hiking Cranberry Lake Preserve, we found this place a few minutes away. We were excited to try it because we had lukumades (fried dough balls) in Greece. The owner greeted us warmly, and he explained everything on the menu. He was very passionate and proud of all of his food. My group was hungry from the hike so we ordered two spanakopitas, a hummus with falafels bowl, a turkey and basil panini, and a specialty lukumades that had Nutella, strawberries, and bananas. We were lucky to come right before a rush because the service was extraordinary. For a fast casual meal, they served us in courses without us asking. The spanakopita had a flaky pastry and the hummus was rich and creamy. The turkey panini was simple delicious and the portion was generous. The lukumades were served hot and fresh. Our original excitement was fulfilled. I'm excited to stop by here again after my next hike.

Great service!! Very delicious Lukumadness! Never had these yummy dessert before. They are unusually light and not too sweet. These lukumadness with some coffee

Found this gem by accident and I'm so glad for wrong turns. The owner was so delightful. We had a tea with the turkey/swiss/pesto panini. We also tried the classic lukumadness w honey and cinnamon. Let the happy food dance commence!! It was all sooooo good. We can't wait to go back.

Had the pistachio lukumadness. Amazing! Delicious espresso as well. Very friendly people here. Great customer service!

So I didn't know what to expect. Honestly. I went to check out the coffee but got distracted. They have quite a few options so I opted for the lukumadness donuts. If you like pistachio dessert please go try their pistachio version. I fully anticipated something really sugary but it was a great balance between sweetness and richness. And I spent so much time deciding the donuts I ended up with had been cooked right in front of me. I will absolutely go back.

Great service - friendly owner. The loukoumades was perfect, but be careful -- it's pretty hot since it's made fresh! We didn't get the toppings since we wanted to see how they did with the classic loukoumades, but will try with Nutella next.

Just wanted to update my first review: it's been a little over three months and I would give Lukumadness 6 stars if I could! The paninis are big enough for either two people or two meals and wrapped in halves to make it easy to throw one in the fridge and eat one straight away!!! The 24 ounce cold brew is wonderful as are croissants and spanikopota -- I would try the desserts which look amazing but sweets and me aren't a good combo during the workday Salads look terrific- but I keep veering toward the carbs Customer friendly service and a really cute interior (limited seating)

Bright and clean cafe. Ample parking. Friendly service. Unfortunately, those are the only positive things I have to say. The coffee itself is bad. Weak and flavorless. Even with an extra shot of espresso, my mocha tasted worse than dunkin. The pastries looked marvelous, but most were way too sugary. A plate of their specialty donut holes laden with goop is almost ten bucks, so I passed. I got a spinach and feta pastry ring. Very greasy but the flavor was good. There was quite a communication barrier with the server. We had to repeat our order several times and it was still wrong. The tipping options at the register are offensively high. I see they have sandwiches, but with The Sandwich Spot nearby, I'll pass.

The spanikopita wheel was beyond delectable. The phyllo was perfection. Outstanding falafel. I'm not a hummus fan but whatever ya'll did with this was the best I've ever tasted. Salads were great. The carrot cake bar was unique and luscious. I cannot wait to return. But the best part is the owner. He's the life of the party, loves what he does, a great host, welcoming, and what a find. Cannot wait to return.

Their website, Google, and Yelp says they are open until 8pm. I went just after 7pm and they are closed?

Newer establishment to the area and a welcome addition. Friendly, inviting service and overall good ambiance. The food was delicious and portions were good. Panini ingredients were fresh and tasty and the lukumadness (Greek donuts) were delicious. Overall would definitely recommend and will be back when in the area.

Great food, coffee and very friendly owner. Can't wait to return. Everything was exceptional!

Lovely coffee and service! Nice set of savory and sweet offerings. ............................................................

Excellent coffee! Very friendly service!! Not a lot of seating, but bright and very clean. I'll be back to try their lukumades "Lukumadness"!!!

Great food and service. The doughnuts were amazing! Very welcoming and clean. Paninis, Greek salads coffee and those incredible doughnuts!

Amazing! I don't usually write reviews, but my family and I were so impressed with the food and the owners. The panini was delicious, with perfectly crispy bread. We also had the traditional donuts with honey, which were wonderfully sweet and warm. Will definitely come back!

Got the berry tart and ice coffee. The tart was delicious and the iced coffee was perfect. Great service and lovely interior.
