Best breakfast anywhere in Amsterdam great lunch specials staff is always lovely restaurant always very clean

A fantastic breakfast and lunch place that is worth the drive even if you're not from Amsterdam. Superb service, excellent food, and reasonable pricing. It's a very popular place (for a reason!) and seating can be limited. It's worth the wait though if they can't seat you right away. read more

Located on a quiet street, very visible with plenty of parking. This one room barroom style diner has a gorgeous interior from wood paneling on the walls to tufted leather booths. The bar counter converted to a beautiful breakfast bar. The decor is very cute and welcoming. The food was amazing. The eggs were poached perfectly, the hash was crispy, and the bangers are fat. Great friendly staff and fast service. read more

Europa Cafe - Family friendly! - Cafes Near Me - Amsterdam, New York

I live near Albany, my friend just moved out west & we picked this Cafe because it was the 1/2 way point. Very good find!!! Comfortable atmosphere, very nice staff. Excellent coffee and top offs were offered every 5 minutes. Omelets were very tasty. Mostly locals were there, but we were welcomed with genuine smiles. Not too far off the highway. Nice place for brunch. read more

Delicious food, large portions (bacon & pancakes were especially good). Our server was attentive & friendly. Cozy, hometown atmosphere. read more

They don't use cinnamon in their French toast! the toast is so bare and barely even toasted it's basically white bread and speaking of the toast itself is soggy wet butter bread untoasted!! read more

Lovely, quick, welcoming service in an historic building just outside of the city. Can't be beat for price or taste. We ran a local 5k and licked our plates clean. Delicious. read more

We stopped for breakfast and clearly they were understaffed or just having a bad day. A simple hello or acknowledgement when we entered and stood in line would have been greatly appreciated. After about ten minutes we decided that our patronage was not important and proceeded to the Amsterdam Diner. read more

This small-town cafe was amazing for breakfast! Coffee was hot and always full, the workers were super friendly and fast, food was absolutely delicious. Remember, cash only, but definitely stop in! read more

Europa Cafe - Build your own bowl, the Hungry Lady with pancakes, and a short stack of French toast. - Cafes Near Me - Amsterdam, New York

Visited Cafe Europa as we were traveling to Amsterdam to attend a baseball game at a nearby stadium. So glad we stopped! The coffee was delicious, the staff amazingly attentive and the food was hot and delicious. The owner is genuinely kind, and took very good care of us. She was visiting with all the patrons, sharing stories and pictures. It was a truly lovely experience. read more

My husband and I were traveling through Amsterdam and had breakfast at Europa. This place is a hidden gem. The staff was so friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. The restaurant looks like an old historic home on the outside and inside you feel like you are eating at your grandmas house. Check it out for breakfast or lunch. read more

Make it a point to stop here. Best little breakfast place along the Mohawk. Clean, inviting, and great food. read more

This place is welcoming and friendly. They always take care of their regulars and you can this place loves the local spirit. I came in with my 95-year-old grandma and she was treated like royalty, as she should as she has been coming here for a long time and she's a wise woman who deserves a great meal. They always remember her order and make her feel special. Love it! The food is fresh and great. You can't beat the prices! Burgers and fries for under $6,...say what? Yes! Great for breakfast and lunch. Really helped my chicken parm sandwich! Delicious! read more

Europa Cafe - a plate of food on a table - Cafes Near Me - Amsterdam, New York

For starters, CHECK THEIR HOURS! Tues-Sun from 6am-2pm (currently) and THEY DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS. Odd in this day and age, but whatever Came in on a Sat morning during what must've been a busy time, but we only had a 3min wait. The dining area is relatively small with 6-ish booths, 4 tables, and a long bar that holds 10-12 people. We ordered a little of everything. French toast, eggs, wheat toast, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, and hash browns. At first bite, the French toast melted on my tongue. A hint of vanilla and covered in sweet butter was just absolutely the best I've ever had. The bacon was nice and crispy, and not loaded with grease; perfectly cooked. The waitresses were super nice, checked on all the tables, and my coffee was never empty. Just the sweetest personalities from any restaurant I've been to in the area. They're enough to make me want to come back. The owners should certainly be proud of the quality employees they have. They certainly make the dining experience pleasurable. Everything was absolutely delicious and this will certainly be our new "go to" breakfast location. This puts The Amsterdam Diner to shame. I can't see why anyone would choose that location over this one! This place is great!!! read more

Not impressed at all... we were spending the weekend with some friends and one of their friends told us this place was "fancy." Upstate people obviously don't know what's fancy. This place was...tacky in my opinion. Okay, too much, it was very country home-like? That's the best way to describe it. Food...everybody knows I'm a french toast and bacon kind of girl. Bacon was deep fried or something, super crunchy, I HATE crunchy, crispy bacon. Well, there went half of my meal. French toast... eh, it was okay. Had a 1/2 lemonade, 1/2 iced tea and that was okay too. So not worth it. I'm a city girl, I know great food, this did not cut it for me at all. *sigh* Safe to say I was dying to come back to the city for food. Not the worst but certainly not meeting my standards. read more

Great food, great service, great spot! We're from out of town and were treated like regulars. The owner took our order and she was amazing. If you're ever traveling to or through Amsterdam, stop at this cafe for breakfast! read more

You can't beat this place for brunch. The staff is amazing. The food is absolutely delicious. Come hungry, as the hungry man special could never be beat, especially at its price. read more

Nice restaurant to grab breakfast. They are always packed on Sunday when we go and you have to wait which is what it is. Downside is it's not very roomy at all and you have to pay cash but the food is really good and generally pretty quick. Good choice for breakfast. Had lunch a few times and it was good as well. read more

Excellent breakfasts and lunches on Forest Ave in Amsterdam. Lightning fast service perfect for the lunch crowd. Excellent service from friendly waitresses. Try finishing the Europa breakfast served until closing. Great neighborhood joint which would get 5 stars if they added some European options. Delicious hamburgers, BLT's and sandwiches. Avoid the chains and stop here-you'll come back. read more

Decent food, decent prices, decent service. Be warned- the place is pretty small, and on weekends and holidays it's usually packed.

The food is cheap, fast and delish. Service is fantastic - we've been numerous times and never had a bad experience. Val is the best - super friendly, fast and accommodating. Definitely would recommend to anyone! read more

I live right down the street and have heard nothing but good things about Europa for a long time so I decided to give it a try. Went with my girlfriend, I ordered the steak and eggs with hash which was only $9.95. She had pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, and toast for I believe $6.95. I'm pretty picky about my restaurants and having worked at some really amazing establishments, and let me just say this is one of the best, and best priced breakfasts I've ever eaten. Steak was amazing and so tender, hash was great, my girlfriend loved her food as well. The server was the perfect amount of attentive, and the food came out super fast even though the place was packed. My new favorite pleace in area to eat breakfast, and probably the only place around here I'll go for breakfast. 5 stars! Great job! read more

Best 3 eggs over easy, hash browns done light and link sausage on planet Earth :-)

The food and service here are above and beyond. Love this place!!! I go as often as I can, which sadly is only 2-3 times a month. Never had a bad meal here. read more

A cafe is a name for an old coffee shop-type restaurant, as that's what cafe means...coffee. however, this was more like a small restaurateur. We went in there looking for a coffee shop. We were disappointed the second we walked in. We realized this was not someplace you order a frappuccino with soy milk. The name is completely misleading. Then we felt like we had to order something because we were out of our element. We got the mozzarella sticks. and salad. the sauce was watered down spaghetti sauce. The mozzarella sticks themselves were pretty good. So now we go to pay, cash or check only. (what?) It was a good thing I happened to have my check book on me that day. I normally don't carry it. There were no signs when walking in that stated that. We will not be returning. We were looking for a cafe not a small restaurant. Our search continues. read more

Europa will keep you coming back. Professional and warm servers, clean environment, great prices and, best of all, terrific food. Breakfast is especially yummy. As others have warned, be prepared for a crowd, especially on weekends. read more
