A friend of mine recommended this place to me and I was so excited to visit. I was pleasantly surprised to find a TON of ingredients, snacks, cooking utensils, etc. from the Balkans/Europe. The owner is kind and makes traditional meals that are frozen so you can take them home & enjoy. There's also a restaurant, which I didn't try, and tons of variety. If you're looking for some diversity or are from Europe, stop by this place and see what they have to offer. I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I love a good seafood boil!…read more This has honestly become my go to spot. They have good customer service and I enjoy how they make their boils. The place itself is clean and I appreciate the whole graffiti-esque route they took to enhancing their spot. They have a marker by the door to let you right your name or really anything just about anywhere in the restaurant. The restroom however was not the best; although it was clean, it smelled absolutely terrible. I couldn't even stomach it and had to leave without using it. I ordered the number 3 with all eggs and it was good! Sometimes they can be a bit heavy handed with seasoning which overpowers the taste of the dish so make sure you clarify everything when ordering. I recommend this spot if you haven't been yet just make sure you use the restroom before coming in!

This was a first time visit. Just down the street. Read Yelp reviews to decide…read more The place is clean and has plenty of ambiance. People have written on every inch of interior walls, lights, and paneling. Very cool and historic too. You order at the counter window and seat yourself. Self service on mints , napkins, and plastic ware. Lots of tables and booths for seating. Food was ordered then delivered to our table. Steaming hot and delicious. All the requested sauces were delivered to the table. Steamed oysters with real garlic and real butter sauce. Yummy! Egg fried rice delivered steaming hot and plenty to eat. Fried large shrimp with delicious hot sweet potato waffle fries. Fried catfish lightly crusted and flaky with plenty of home made fries steaming hot. Too much for us to eat so there were plenty for leftovers except the oysters. too good to leave. Prices are fair for so much quality food. Rice 10; fish and shrimp baskets 15; a dozen oysters 18. Total of $ 73 and I left a 10 for a tip for quality and quantity House specialties are steamed seafoods sold by the pound and include potato and corn in your selected sauce. I would definitely recommend this place and will come back when I can. Don't forget to bring a magic marker and write your name on the wall.

I recently attended a somewhat fancy "Tasting Tea Party" here, which was part delightful and fun,…read moreand part awkward and disappointing. The table setting was lovely, with small vases of roses, and it was a great way to gather with 5 friends for a fun afternoon. They provide tiered towers of small sweet and savory treats, which included a delicious pastry with bits of pear, a slice of tasty cheesecake to top with strawberry jam, salmon with cream cheese rolled in a crepe, and a tasty but crumbly tiny sandwich. Each tower was shared by 2 people with one of everything for each. However, they weren't all "finger food," and some were too messy to pick up, and/or too big to eat in any dainty way in one clean bite! So we had to ask for small plates to put them on, and utensils of some sort...and more napkins, of course! It seemed those kinds of things should' have been provided or anticipated without our having to ask or go get them ourselves. We expected they would serve various teas by pouring a small amount in our individual cups to try, and tell us what kind we were tasting, and then come back in a bit with the next kind to taste as we munched on treats. Instead we got individual teapots, in which we could only choose one flavor to brew, when we all wanted to try them all...it was supposed to be a tasting!! But having 6 pots of unlabeled teas, and not remembering which was what, and everyone wanting to taste all made it unnecessarily complicated. And continually passing 6 different pots of unknown teas back and forth across the table was cumbersome and confusing. We tried to write each type on a napkin and twist them around the teapot handles, but those didn't stick! And if you didn't like one kind, or more, there was nothing to pour the remainder from your cup into in order to try the next. So one of us left the table to ask for a "tea-spittoon" so to speak. A good time was had by all, but it wasn't an event we would want to do again at the European Market and Cafe. It is a fascinating market with a large variety of packaged foods and candies from many countries. It would be very helpful to be multilingual in order to read the labels to know what they are! You can also enjoy a meal in the cafe, and/or carry out some pre-prepared fresh specialty foods, pastries and desserts. But be prepared for a little sticker shock. Then again, I guess that's common everywhere these days!

For being both a market and a cafe, the seating and general ambiance is very nice! The selection of…read morefood was good, I ordered the chocolate filled croissant today and plan on returning to try the Pelmini (which I haven't had the opportunity to eat in years!). I also had a decaf iced latte, which was tasty. Both my mom and I agreed that the food was good and richly flavored. The employee who served us was both nice and knowledgeable, answering any questions we had about food options we weren't familiar with in easy to understand, succinct terms. When I went (mid afternoon on a Tuesday) it was pretty quiet, with one employee in the front and a couple of other patrons seated. There was some pop music in the background on low volume, which I appreciated. Overall the vibe at that time of day on a weekday was very calm. I'm interested in checking out their karaoke, live music, and tea time nights/events in the future. They definitely look like fun ways to spend some time! Ultimately, if you're looking for good, casual European fare, including Eastern European, or even if you're just curious, I absolutely recommend European Market and Cafe.
