Food is simply amazing and the owner is most wonderful person! Even served us exceptionally tasty garlic ‘grenki’ off the menu by request :)

Honestly the Borscht was better than Cinderella which is a super popular alternative in the neighborhood. Also the Pierogi tasted just like my grandma used to make!Food came quick and you can tell it was family owned and ran. I’ll forsure be back to try more!

Cafe Europa left such a lasting impression on us that we've decided to return tomorrow before heading home to NC. Our experience with their authentic European homemade-style food and delightful service was so enjoyable that we can't resist one more visit. From the comforting borsch, flavorful schnitzel, and mouthwatering perogies to the tempting suggestion of their Napoleon cake, every moment at Cafe Europa feels like a warm embrace. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this culinary gem!

Tried to order dinner tonight from this restaurant we have been wanting to try for a few years now. We ordered on Doordash and within 20 minutes it canceled. We called the restaurant and they told us to order from Uber Eats. We ordered again and you guessed it, canceled again. We called to ask why and they said they were out of half the order. No Cabbage Rolls and no Blintz, come on. We'd love to try your food sometime.

Do not sleep on this neighborhood gem!!We shared a bunch of dishes and it’s rare to say that each one was phenomenal. Easily the best schnitzel I’ve had, including from Europe. The potato pancakes were fresh, fluffy and flavorful. Beef stroganoff, dumplings and cabbage roll were all best in class flavor and texture wise.Also do not get me started on this chocolate cake…. the BEST.The impeccable service really was the cherry on top of the dining experience. Will be back!!

WOW! Cafe Europa is hot! And I mean hot like your best friend's sister hot! I was just out boppin around lookin for this and that with my pals Welder Grabbers, Lil Thumper and Bigbang and we stumbled upon the Cafe Europa Restaurant, and hell it was time to eat, so we did just that...eat.What a great place, the food was Amazing and the menu was just right, not overwhelming in the least bit, it was perfect. The Schnitzel was so Spectacular it disappeared before I could get a picture, that in itself is worthy of a two hour drive!5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆

Our dinner there was a disaster. The only person who worked there made me feel unwelcome. The restaurant was empty on the rainy day however we were not allowed to use an additional table to accommodate part of the family. I did not appreciate the service. I will not be back.

Delicious homemade hearty fare, including an excellent Polish lager.Very hospitable owners and staff.Cozy, plain decor, eastern European vibe.Quieter, good for conversation, but place still has "pace."

Great food, great service, and fantastic atmosphere. Can get a bit expensive if you order boots, will definitely be returning. The cabbage roll was phenomenal.
One of the best places to eat in San Francisco, the bay, and probably more. Hidden jewel, great service, food that looks amazing and tastes even better.
Cafe Europa is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was delicious and made with obvious care and pride. The Napoleon cake was the best cake I’ve had in years. The homemade kvas was exceptional. Also, the owner is incredibly friendly! Do yourself a favor and go.Dietary restrictions: Peanut allergy friendly

We had the goulash, stroganoff and schnitzel and it was all delicious and generous portions. Classic comfort food.Oh and the napoleon cake WOW.The owner (?) was hilarious and added to the charm.10/10 will definitely return.
Owner is extremely dismissive, rude and has no customer service. I tried to place a catering menu and he accused me of being cheap and said he did not want to do business with me. If you want to deal with a rude person and eat an overpriced mediocre version of Hungarian food; that's up to you how you spend your time and money. The owner has no manners and does not know how to interact with people
