I had lunch at Tanoshi's and decided to drop in at European Delights to try them again. I love Apple Strudel and I noticed they make it the old school way. Layers of pastry, fresh home made apple filling and crushed nuts on top. I also bought a cinnamon twist and a Parmesan encrusted foot long hot dog. The strudel was one of the best I have had. Most bakeries have a filling that taste like canned apple filling. You could really taste the freshness of the apples. I couldn't really taste the cinnamon in the twist and it is more of a denser dough. It was different but good. The twisted pastry with a hot dog with Parmesan was crunchy and good flavor. They call it a beef sausage but I'm pretty sure it is a quality hot dog. Overall good pastries. I saw another fresh apple pastry in one of the display cases that I plan to go back and try. read more

If you want to go to a place that gives you bang for your buck, come here! Their pastries are GINORMOUS and DELICIOUS! I had the magnífico (which is a pastry filled with cheese + guava) which I absolutely loved. I also had brioche with blueberries which was perfect. I highly recommend coming here if you are craving a pastry or want to get some for your office, you will not be dissatisfied! The only bummer I had was that I had leftover pastries the next day but they were much better the day of! Can't wait to try more pastries on the menu! read more

Read about this bakery on Nextdoor and decided to check it out on an early Sunday morning. Loved their savory spinach feta croissant w/fresh hot coffee and the day old goodies are a great price. read more

I finally got to try European Delights and I was impressed! I came on a weekday with my daughter when they first opened, and we ordered a few pastries. My first impression as we walked into the store was the aroma of freshly baked bread. We wanted to order everything! We ordered 3 patties and this is what I had: -Ham, Bacon, and Cheese Croissant 5/5: This was our favorite! It was warm, fresh, and well-balanced. Every bite was the perfect bite. We came back and ordered a second one. It was that good! -Blueberry Scone 4/5: I loved that the scone was not too sweet. It had a great flavor, I only wish it were warmer. I would order it again though and take it to go to warm up at home. -Mango Muffin GF 3/5: This was our least favorite. It was very dense and a bit flavorless. It looked delicious through the glass but it wasn't what we expected. Overall the pastries here are fresh, flavorful and there are many options. This will be a go-to bakery from now on. I can't wait to stop by again and order more items. read more

Just went to European Delights, again, with my sister who's visiting from out of town; she loved the place. Their pastries are so incredibly delicious, and their prices are very reasonable as they make everything right there. We spoke with the new owners; they're so nice and still family owned; they said they're keeping everything the same and may add a few things in the future. They still have "day olds", right next to the register, $10 for a togo container full of pastries; it's a great deal for pastries still fresh and made one day before. If you haven't tried these delicious, gourmet, freshly made pastries, please do, and if you've been there before, please go again; its so nice to support a local small family owned business! read more

I stopped by European Delights and noticed a small sign in the pastry case advertising a 2-for deal. When I asked about it, the employee simply turned the sign over, so I ended up ordering something else instead. The pastries were also a bit expensive for what they were. Overall, the experience wasn't welcoming enough to make me want to return. read more

Usually go for the apple strudel which is incredible. This morning I tried their 'European Delight'. Super choice. Pastry is stuffed with three, creamy, light and semi-sweet cheeses and golden raisin filling. I went with a friend who was a baker and knows baking well. He was impressed by this pastry and a cherry filled one. The owner here is the baker and his pastries are beautiful. Worth going there. read more

Yummy pastries and other delightful delicacies. Nice to have a family owned bakery near by. The almond croissant was unbelievably good! Prices reflect the times, but I. Light of that, worth every penny. Staff are friendly and helpful. The shop was clean and smelled wonderful. read more

purchased 1 croissant (wanted 2) but bakery only had 1 remaining at 11:15 am, quality was excellent, disappointed on the availability but will try them again earlier in the morning read more

I just went in here to get a pastry with my dad for Father's Day, and the service & the food were both disappointing. The woman who took our order had to clarify with us 4-5 times, we were getting 1 croissant and 2 cinnamon twists, they messed this up multiple times doing 2 and 2, then 2 and 1 of the wrong things. (They were more worried about getting cannolis to this other customer, they seemed really overwhelmed by an order of 8 cannolis, but otherwise they didn't seem super busy so not sure what the deal was) They rang us up, total was $16 something, I gave a tip, they rushed us out, we get home, no croissant. So that's $5 wasted & the cinnamon twists were honestly gross -- they were dry and stale, with very little taste. Overall a waste of money and time for what should have been a very simple exchange. read more

European delights? Not sure which European country these delights represent. Could be Albania. Recipes from a grandmother as beloved as mine was, and nearly as bad a cook. This is a bit harsh, the pastries are oversize, okay but not delicious. It's just that I was annoyed to drive far out of the way to a remote shopping center, making a pilgrimage to find a delectable example of what European pastries can be. read more

Such a cute mom and pop bakery! It's close to where I work, so I had to try it. Everyone there is very friendly which makes for a homey vibe! The selection of pastries is EXTENSIVE- I had a hard time picking one, but so glad I went with the hazelnut croissant. It was soft and the filling was very flavorful (not too flakey/crispy if that's what you're going for). And my iced latte was a classic, but if you like your coffee on the sweeter side don't forget to add sugar. I'll definitely be back soon and can't wait to try the spinach and feta croissant! read more

I've long wished for a quality bakery a reasonable distance from our neighborhood. With the discovery of European Delights in the Citrus Shopping Center of Walnut Creek my wish has been granted! Owned by a Romanian brother and sister, all their baked goods are made from scratch in the old European manner. The resulting items are like an All-Star team featuring the best from different European countries: croissants from France, strudel from Germany, cannolis from Sicily, etc. We've tried these so far and have never been disappointed: Almond and Guava Croissants, Cinnamon Roll, Apple Strudel. I especially love their butter croissant, so buttery and flaky it almost melts in your mouth. They have a small sitting area perfect for relaxing with fresh baked goodies and their delicious coffee. Delivery is also available via Uber Eats. This place is a hidden gem, I'm so glad we discovered it! read more

European Delights has the best apple strudel I've ever tasted. The apples are sliced paper-thin and layered throughout, creating a wonderful texture in every bite. The dough is exactly what you want from a strudel: flaky on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Ask them to warm it up for you. They have several other apple treats (apple cinnamon rolls, apple brioche) that are similarly fantastic. The pistachio croissant is another standout. It's filled with a delicious pistachio paste studded with whole pistachios for a little crunch, plus a hint of Belgian chocolate. I've never tasted anything quite like it. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The owners (a brother and sister duo) take time to chat with regulars, and it gives the bakery a genuine neighborhood feel that's hard to find. There's seating if you want to stay and enjoy your pastry with a coffee. This is the kind of small, family-run spot that deserves to thrive. Do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

I am in big trouble! I found this place next to my gym and bought a croissant after a hard workout and it was the best pistachio croissant that I've had. I am 100% certain that I will be going again, which is not good for my diet read more

It's a relative with decent bakery. Always was on my bucket list to go to. Finally made it and slightly disappointed with the bakery selection and coffee, coffee strength and quality. Very clean and comfortable environment. Everything looked very neat inside. The owner takes pride in his place! Nice wall arts and greenery inside of the shop. Some dishes might be delicious. However, I picked the cinnamon swirl and it turned out to be a little bit sugary. My wife's gone on the other hand was relatively tasty. The coffee was really watery and didn't taste well. Had to go next-door to correct it. Overall is a very nice place with the great, Romanian hospitality. read more

Excellent bakery! We went back three times in the same day! Can't wait to go back again and again!

We have gone here for a couple of years and the pastures are always yummy. Definitely recommend!!

Solid bakery serving european style pastries and coffee. It's small and unassuming, next to Bevmo in the old Raleys Shopping Center. There's a couple of tables inside and a couple outside. So, wasn't much seating on the rainy day that i went. The baked goods ranged from A+ to B+ We split four. The Blueberry cheese danish and the blueberry muffin with favored as they were still warm. Almond croissant was huge and a B Big enough to share. Cinnamon roll was not as fresh and it's not a european thing so the passion not quite there. read more

It was a true delight to find this bakery in Walnut Creek. I love pastries and it is hard to have good ones that are European flavors. Most places here are either French or Asian and it is refreshing to have a different style bakery here that is more Eastern European. I really love the apple strudel and the croissants. They are light, buttery and full of fillings! The bakers are also very friendly and nice. Would definitely come back! read more

While at Contra Costa Coffee, I noticed some people with these takeout boxes of assorted pastries. I asked one of them where they got them, and they told me European Delights, which was just a few doors down from CoCo Coffee. I went in, looking for something savory, and after they listed off their options, I opted for the ham, cheese, and sundried tomato brioche. The pastry was good, but even after being toasted, the filling was still cold. Inside, they had music playing, but it wasn't loud enough to overwhelm a conversation, like ordering your food, but it's definitely not a place you could buy a couple of pastries and then talk with friends or family. The music was interesting though, and definitely nothing I'd ever heard before, so I used Shazam to see what the songs were. read more

The croissants here are GINORMOUS!!! Ridiculously ginormous. So airy, flaky, and DELICIOUS!!! We got the ham and cheese, plain, and chocolate croissants. All three were 5 stars!!! The coffee is strong. The baked goods smells heavenly. This place is a neighborhood GEM! Little small shop in a nondescript strip mall, close to the post office. Come get come fresh baked comforts of goodness and joy! read more

Lovely coffee pastry place! Friendly service and great music! Italy's favorite coffee - Lavazza! I had the pistachio pastry(not too sweet for my taste, just right) and cappuccino(smooth and pleasant). Nice little place to have a bite, coffee and read a book. Could have stayed for the whole day just listening to the music(Andrea Bocelli) too! :-) If music be the food of love, play on! - Shakespeare read more

I read about this bakery in various FB pages and in the newspaper, and decided to check it out. I stopped by on the way home from the local farmers market. There were a lot of choices in the display and on the racks behind the counter. I brought home the Nutella pastry and my husbands favorite, an almond croissant. Both were delicious. My husband said his was smaller than he usually gets from another place, but the flavor was even better. We will be back to try more of the goodies. I'm glad to have read about this place, as the shopping center is not a busy one, with lots of vacancies. I hope that changes soon. read more

Guava pastries were out of this world! Every thing else looks fantastic. Keep up the good work!

Spectacular pastries and treats! I have been coming here for about three years and have tried just about everything they make. I don't throw out "this is the best I have ever had" line too often, but this place is a hole in the wall spot that makes some of the best baked goods I have ever had. I had a lemon tart square today that left me without words. I'll just say it's as good as it gets. read more

Glad this isn't in a super convenient location for me as they're a very good bakery. Got the spinach and feta puff pastry pocket (don't know correct name). I warmed it up the next day, and even doing that this was utterly delicious. Warming up puff pastry does hurt the flaky layers, but still it was tender and the perfect balance of flavors. Chocolate cream cheese muffin from day old shelf, I had the next day and it was a tad dry, but heck then it was 2 days old!! So can't fault the baker. The chocolate flavor was perfect and generous cream cheese amount: quite decadent. They use good cocoa in their baking. Want to try the mushroom one next time. Chocolate croissant- excellent flavor. Outside looks perfect, but lamination on the interior while better than most area bakeries, but not as good as French bakery in Lafayette, which is the area's gold stand in my opinion. But - maybe it was an off day - it's a temperamental pastry and weather is changing. The square puff pastry with the filled chocolate center. The icing or whatever they put on top of the pastry was too hard for my tastes and took away from potential flakiness, if any. Ate more like a harder pie crust. This opinion was shared by a friend to whom I gave one of these, along with half of the croissant. The center chocolate part was very rich and sort of reminded me of the flavor of a tootsie roll - in a good way. I might try it again. Will return and branch out and try something else next time. Note: the gentleman that waited on me wasn't very nice, but perhaps just his nature and I actually don't require "nice". He may have thought I was beneath his notice. My voice is different due to a cleft palate and now as I've aged, I'm missing a front tooth and unrelated to that, I walk with a cane. Maybe he thought I was a vagrant? read more

https://youtu.be/z72JvosoUao I have been wanting to try the European delights Bakery for a while. I had heard good things about it. I was super stocked when I walked in and was greeted with a happy "Welcome"! They have an extensive range of baked items. I was really impressed. All the pastries were so pretty! The issue was that the coffee was so weak and plain awful! It should have been great as it is Lavazza but no it was terrible. The pastries were ok. We got the vanilla custard croissant. The custard was really yummy but the pastry was very heavy. We got the chocolate cheesecake muffin. It was good. We got the cheese roll and it was awful. There was like a lump of cheese in it that wasn't good. My dog liked it but we did not. Overall I would give it a C grade. Check out my YouTube video about the experience. I like to support local owned businesses so please give it a try. The staff was very sweet and kind. Maybe the pastries were having a bad day and for sure the coffee maker must have been on the fritz. I asked the two people if they had ever had complaints about the coffee and both said, "I don't drink coffee". Well, whether or not you drink it has nothing to do with whether people have complained about the coffee! Oh well. Let me know your experience and watch my YouTube video! read more
