We must have went on the wrong day or the owner writes his own reviews! We dined..oops "ate" at this cafe for Valentines Day w another couple. The menu said dinner came w/a salad & bread. The server responded "No, no salad tonight bcz there was entertainment". Which by the way cost $10 at the door for a guy to sing. Im still not sure what the singer had to do w/not including salad with our dinner?? Next, we asked "Does dinner come w a veggie instead?" He said "No". So I asked if I could "order" a veggie or salad? Again he said "No, only bread". Lol. So now the dinners come out w/what looked like canned chicken or tuna for the Chicken Paprikash and for the Chicken Alfredo. Also portions were small as my husband ate his dinner in 5 bites. Then like it couldnt have gotten any worse, we asked, we were not offered more bread & when it came out. That was it!! Now Im angry as it looked like it was already half-eaten. The server never checked back to ask how our meals were or if we wanted more coffee or a refill of iced tea. He never thanked us for coming & then had enough nerve to hand us menus to take home! Also the coffee w/served with the creamer already in it, rather then bringing creamer to the table. Nor were we offered any sugar for the coffee or iced tea. If they would have offered a comp for a free dinner, sadly, I would have said just keep it as I wouldnt even give it to my worst enemy. The worst part about the whole dinner was that our server was the owner! Thanks Europa."

The atmosphere is phenomenal here. Really takes you back to a little European shop. The owner is primary laborer here, and he is certainly a little gruff, but a nice gentleman if you get to talking with him. Hes got that unintentional European rudeness, that isnt rudeness at all, but simply cultural differences. The food was good, we got a wiener schnitzel and a soup and were not disappointed in the size or the quality, although the waiter/owner did seem disappointed that we were splitting it and not getting two separate meals. The ambience here makes it a place where you want to relax and spend a day, and the owner says that he is totally fine with that.

Wow! What a surprise. The wife and I were out looking for Chinese food when we stumbled onto Cafe Europa. The owner John comes out to meet us and invites us in for home cooked German food. How could I say no?? We were not at all disappointed. The soup, the German sausage with mashed potato, the chicken paprikash were all homemade and fantastic!! We ended the night with a piece of black forest german cake it was amazing. Cant wait to go back for the breakfast menu, an awesome find!

Great old country European cuisine, served with a smile by the proud owner of the establishment. Food is all prepared on site the old fashioned way, from scratch, from the old world recipes. Nice beer and wine selection. Not sure what you want? Hell help you decide. Great desserts. We had the cherry strudel. Open at 6am for breakfast too.

Great atmosphere and the food was delicious. You have to try the California chicken sandwich for lunch. The chicken is moist and flavorful. They add some mango jelly that really compliments the dish. The guy who served us was a little impersonal, but everything went well so Im happy with the experience overall.

This is the place to go if you want European home cooking. The entrees all come with a salad to start and the portions are a good size. The grilled bread that came with our meal tasted like it was baked today. The owner greeted us and was very nice, you can tell he was passionate about his business.

Good little restaurant. Our host was great and the homemade bread was excellent. Unfortunately there were not very many options. Worth trying out if you are in the area, but I would not go out of your way.

A family run restaurant and owner is the nicest, most genuine guy. I took my meal to go and he came around and gave me a cookie and a vodka shot to keep me happy while his wife was cooking it.
