OUR STORY

Back in 1965 Michail Kokolakis begins running a café-pastry shop, given the name Gloria, exactly at the same spot as today, at 3 Pines area, on Chrisostomou street. It is one of the first cafes in the area and the only one equipped with TV at that period!

Gloria is getting well known and starts having a large audience.

In 1983, he and his wife, Argiro, decide to give their place a dessert making character rather than a café. They both devote themselves in the daily production of pastries made from fresh dairy products and high quality, local ingredients.

In a few years, the shop becomes among the most successful in the city and galaktoboureko becomes customers’ favorite. Galaktoboureko is based on Argiro’s original recipe, reaching its final form after many, over 4 years lasting, alterations and additions. Since 2000, while Galaktoboureko becomes its characteristic element, several collaborations with executive Greek pastry chefs begin, in order to maintain quality and enhance variety and engage the interest of new customers, as a sweet flagship of the brand.

In 2016, Gloria Suffer its founder loss, though leaving behind a gold legacy that Kokolakis family is sustaining and growing until today.
