What a great place. Located right across the street from Proud Mary, the energy is much more relaxed. A solid place to work or meet people. Get the omelette and add meat balls. Super good. Americano was solid. Bathrooms clean. Tons of parking. Lots of quiet indoor seating. Shady under the trees out door seating. Happy staff.

really great food! portions are also big (except the avocado toast) but the gyros especially are great meals. the coffee is delicious and high quality but a little slow. the food is quick to come. the staff is very nice too. lots of great vegetarian options, and the seating outside is so nice. i liked the pasta salad and warm pita a lot.

We woke up early this morning with a burning craving for gyro and this place was the only one open early enough. Everything was good. The avocado toast isn't pictured because my partner devoured it immediately. Said it was the best avocado toast he's ever had.

We came here on a weekend for lunch with the family. They have a nice large outdoor seating area. We chose to sit inside. Very large and spacious. We found a nice table out toward the back area. We loved the food we each ordered.

I do open mic here and the host Zach is hilarious... I had an amazing time met some cool people as well. It's definitely a place I will return to.

One of my favorite spots! Been plenty of times for brunch, good coffee and breakfast. Croissant sandwich and yogurt bowl are my go-to. Food service is a little slow, but I usually don’t mind. I sit outside and have never had a problem finding a table.

I didn't get the chance to order food while there, but the environment was one-of-a-kind. They had both outdoor and indoor sitting areas, and it felt like a place where you could comfortably get work done while sipping on some coffee or tea. It didn't feel crowded or unmaintained, but rather open and cozy.

Loved this place. Maybe not the best Greek food… but the atmosphere makes up for it! I’d come back…for wine and Greek salad.

This is a great place to meet up and hang out with friends. There’s plenty of space, comfortable tables, and quick service. The menu is extensive, and the staff is very friendly. I especially love the interior design, and there are options to sit both indoors and outdoors, which is a nice touch. The place is quite popular, and we had a wonderful time during our visit. However, I do have one comment. My drink was served in a cup with a chip. I always mention this to businesses when it happens. Please make sure to check your dishware carefully. Chips on cups can harbor bacteria and pose a risk of cuts while drinking. I kindly ask the owner to address this issue and inspect all dishware for any damage. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot, but this small detail needs attention.

We got the gyro and the falafel platter and both were pretty good! It was the perfect amount of food. You order at the bar and then they bring the food to your table. We also had the sangria which was $2 off during happy hour which lasted until 6pm. Lots of nice outdoor seating and indoor as well

Great place to grab and coffee/wine and relax. The inside is so cozy with plenty of seating and the outside is a great space to enjoy the weather. They have delicious, fresh food that can satisfy your hunger and the staff is so so welcoming! Favorites were the hummus and the gyro wrap. The pita bread was so fluffy and perfect with the hummus and the gyro meat was perfectly seasoned. White chocolate mocha coffee was delicious too. I wish the spanokopita had more feta cheese but it was still delicious!

Tried placing a pickup order over the phone and the lady said it would take too much time and be too much of a hassle to check if what I ordered had peanuts and treenuts in it. To be fair it was Sunday during what I’m assuming was dinner rush but figured it wasn’t that big of an ask… just wanted some Greek food :(

Eater beware: The falafels we ordered were from trader joe’s (same perfect shape and grainy industrial taste) and they didnt even care to microwave them enough. Dolmas are are also from a can (you can tell from the citric acid taste. Freshly made dolmas dont taste like that). It would be understandable if it wasnt “a greek cafe” maybe…very understaffed so we waited ~30 mins to be served ready made microwaved food. Not sure why they kindly force a tip starting from 20% for counter service and all that..

Worst Greek food I've ever had. I ordered the Mousaka - it was burned and tasted like it had been reheated 4 days in a row. My friend ordered the briam - the veggies tasted as though they were past their 'use by' date. The frappe was decent. Called the restaurant to speak with the owner 3x. The staff was nice and helpful. I emailed the owner to professionally discuss my concerns with the owner - she didn't even bother to respond to me!! No email, no phone call...nothing! I will never return to opa. With so many other options I recommend anywhere else.

After standing in line for 20 minutes when I only had 35 minutes to grab a bite & a drip coffee, I left without ordering. I was looking forward to their delicious Greek omelette, but it was not going happen unless I had at least an hour to wait. It was a Sunday morning with a line of at least 10 people which barely slimmed down because there was no one helping the barista. He had to ring up all of the orders and turn around and make all the drinks. I was so impressed by the time I finally got to the counter I asked his name. Santiago was hustling so efficiently and was incredibly friendly to everyone. I’m almost appalled at the establishment for being so clearly understaffed on a busy Sunday morning. They needed one person ringing up sales and another person just on barista/drinks. When I tried to order an omelette, I found out that it would take at least another 30 minutes. Essentially between standing in line and receiving my food it would’ve been 50 minutes. Weekends on South Lamar are very busy, especially in the mornings. It astounds me that a busy café would only have what appeared to be one barista, one cook and a busser for the entire shift. I wish I had more cash on me to tip this amazing worker. I hope they double his pay because I’ve rarely seen someone hustle that hard. No café should push their employees to the brink and expect their customers to stand in line for 20 minutes to place their order. Furthermore, I don’t know if their AC is broken or if they just turned it off at the first cold snap but it’s very hot inside, particularly when the kitchen is open. They have tons of windows and only the front door propped open. It was so uncomfortably warm inside that all the patrons were sitting outdoors. I have been patronizing this establishment for 10 years and was incredibly disappointed by my recent visit. They are no longer near the top of my list for cafés in my neighborhood.

I remember when Opa opened on S Lamar. I think we were one of their first customers as we were served their Greek fare in a fun environment. I’ve enjoyed watching Opa becoming a solid establishment. Over the years, I’ve never considered the staff to be overly friendly or welcoming or acting as if they cared people came in - if that is your vibe, not a problem. However, I don’t think I’ll ever go back after last week. The staff was just down right rude, unhelpful and even unkind. In a world where so many are stressed, isolated, at odds with each other, this type of behavior for a public facing job just isn’t necessary or acceptable. Good bye, Opa. I’m sad & sorry. I don’t mind paying the high prices for going out, but I think management needs to up their service game & teach some skills or let people who just bring Opa down, go.
