I recently moved to the area and am an avid coffee/espresso fan. So when I saw the European Cafe sign, I just had to pop in for lunch. From the name of the place, I was expecting traditional French or Italian cafe fare and excellent espresso. However, upon entering, I noticed that most of the menu was clearly Greek in origin. But , okay, I was hungry and I like Greek cuisine. And they offered a range of coffee and espresso drinks. So I ordered the vegetarian pita and a cappuccino. The pita was amazing, possibly the best I have ever had. But the cappuccino was terrible! It tasted like watered down coffee with a foam made from actual cream (not milk). I asked the owner if she used espresso or coffee in my drink and she assured me that it was espresso and that she made it herself. Then she proceeded to blame it on the machine. (Shes not a very cheery lady.) Having an espresso machine at home, I know that it was more likely user error (not enough coffee, too coarse a grind, not tamped hard enough, etc.) that caused a weak shot. So if you want great Greek food, you probably cant do better for the area. But if you want any kind of espresso based drink, dont be fooled by the allure of the words "European Cafe," and head to the Starbucks nearby instead.

So, I went for lunch one day and had a pretty good hamburger, and I tried to gyros which is some of the best Ive had. After eating that gyros, I was certain that this place was tops. I thought, hey, Ill take the girlfriend here, shell love it! Well, one afternoon I called in for their business hours that day, because they arent set online. The girl on the phone said theyll be open til 8. I took my gf there after I got off work that day and we walk up to the door at 6:15pm, expecting them to be open. NOPE. The door was locked and the high school kids working there were cleaning up shop, ignoring me as I stood at the door. If you say youre open until 8, dont close two hours earlier. What I thought was a decent place turned out to be a huge disappointment, and I have no intention of going back and would discourage anyone else from wasting their time there. Update: Ive since given this place another shot, mostly because I really like their burgers. Ive had good service during my other visits. Half the times Ive gone theyve forgotten something on my order, but that hasnt deterred me too much. I guess the lesson here is go during lunch or something when the better servers are working. Overall good food.

Ok I work at a local Car dealershp. We order from them at least once a week in some cases More. I felt the need to post this since I seen all the other out dated reviews. I love going to this place and feel we must support our local small business Owners. I am always Greeted with a smile.And a warm Hello! This place sports a New makeover from last year as well as New Staff. The food is good and the prices are just as pleasing to the wallet. Now there has been one time that comes to mind that things were not 100% Just once out of all the times we have ordered here. But just like any other Business if you do not tell them there is a problem how can they have the chance to make it right? Before you post a Neg review Let them know and give them the chance to make it right! Not only did They make it right But they went above and beyond to Make us Happy.. They under promised and over Delevered! Which is the right way to do Business! We will continue to Get our Thursday breakfest! :) and enjoy the home town feeling,Food and Great Service!! Thank you! From the Staff of Columbia Chevrolet!

Absolutely disgusting. I cannot understand the acclaim by the locals. The food is sub-par diner fare at best. The service was horrible. The manager yelled at me and called me a drifter looking for free-food after I asked for my money back for the over cooked brown scrambled eggs they brought to the table for my niece and sister. I sent my French toast back. The bagel was something that you could buy at Krogers and they charged two dollars for SQUEEZABLE cream cheese. The coffee was watered down. Oh and the flies flying around my head and the sticky floor just about killed my appetite anyway.

Was really looking forward to going here. Looked so cute. Place is always packed when we drive by. We showed up 10 mins before the lunch change over and the server took so long to get to us that it was lunch time... So we begrudginly ordered lunch. We were assured the gyros would be amazing. They were ok. But the service was terrible, we got a brown fruit cup with a giant gross hair in it, and my husband left soaked in Diet Coke...

Food was good but be aware that most items come with a big pile of ripple potato chips. The coffee was OK, but my almond joy coffee was so strongly flavored with almond flavoring that it was undrinkable. The interior is OK, but could be nicer and the it seemed understaffed. It wasnt busy when we went, but she still found it difficult to keep up with the tables. Luckily, the food did taste good and the portions were large.

The European Cafe has some delicious Greek offerings. We ordered a super gyro and french toast.. The super gyro was indeed VERY super, with more meat than I knew what to do with! It was fantastic. I ended up taking half home, and I had went in hungry. My significant other highly recommends the chai latte, and the mocha was good.

Good food, we did order the super gyro, but it wasnt double the meat. But the meat was great and the salad was good. Wish they had a way to replace the chips for a salad or fries.

Simple food, tastes good. Gyros, pancakes, burgers. They do have some vegetarian. Dont come for the service or atmosphere. Just a good little staple dive.

I like stopping in here for a breakfast sandwich every now and then. Makes for a peaceful morning, but its pretty low quality food.

Greek diner feel. I come here for lunch (to go or take out), and I generally get a Greek Salad with added chicken or gyro meat.

Be sure you ask for espresso if youre expecting it. Most of their coffee drinks are made with regular coffee.
