We visited yesterday for the first time, and they had almost everything we were looking for! My kids love the bee candies and these cookies with whipped caramel inside! There were NO expired dates in this store on the items I wanted, which is amazing and a very common issue when shopping at European markets.

Excellent food. The man who oversees the orders is very pleasant. It took a half hour to get the food. When Imopened the package at home I realized that is was only half of what I ordered. I returned. We spoke briefly over the counter. I told the nice man who remembered me, my name and my order. He said 'my fault." I waited in line following 5 patrons to place the order again. I then waited another 50 minutes for the second order. You decide.

I bought a cake from there, first of all, the lady standing in the shop did not know English so did not explain to me what the flovor was on top of that they don't have any cake name or flavors or any menu. Anyway it was just a piece of sugar without any flovor. First and last purchase.
Every year before the winter holidays we shop at this store. Among our purchases there are chocolate candies . They are expensive, over $12 per pound, but since the holidays, we buy a lot. Last years, among the fresh candies , there were old ones, but there were not many of them. But this year, it's terrible, every second candy is old, with a white coating on the chocolate and with a taste of the old. Be careful. They mix fresh candies with old ones to sell. Very disappointed!

I would like to say that I've lived down the road from this place for 7 years and I have slept on this place hard and if you're reading this, you probably have too. I asked the owners how long they've been here (assuming it was only a few years). This unassuming store has been here for 25 years. I went here on a whim and let me tell you, I will be a frequent customer. This is a hidden gem of a grocery store. Some of the things that caught my eye were: * Imported European butter (high quality butter). * Tons of imported, cured meats* Perogies, meat dumplings, mashed potato dumplings, etc.* A fantastic selection of tasty mustards* Pickled & fermented items such as sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, pepper spreads* A wide variety of tasty jams* Fresh farmer cheeses* Imported Cheeses* Homemade desserts* Homemade, old world, artisan bread* Much moreAnother person left a comment exclaiming that items here are pricey. I want to share my thoughts and why I think it's 5 stars and not pricey. So, first, I love the salami here. I bought a few kind of Salami but the German Salami is very nice. Now that being said, as of today it's like $20/lb. But, few important things to note. 1) it's Imported from Europe. 2) The richness & complexity of flavor is so much better than your $7.99/lb grocery store chain salami. The flavors are complex and wonderful. It's truly something where you keep wanting more. This is ideal for a charcuterie board or something where you want people to really notice the bold flavors. It is worth the price. Secondly, their homemade desserts are out of this world. I guarantee you that you have had few desserts that are this good. They are unlike the processed junk we get even at nice grocery store bakeries. One bite and you're in heaven. So much so we went back immediately the next day to get more.Third, they are making their own variety of bread loaves. I wish I had gotten a picture but they are as beautiful as they are delicious. This isn't old world bread. Artisan bread. You aren't getting this elsewhere. Overall, the quality of everything is just very good. It's a taste of eastern Europe. It's a treat and a delight. You should do in and try it. You won't be disappointed. Sure, many of the products may be unfamiliar or even written in a language you might not understand. But the staff is friendly and we're glad to answer my questions. As I am sure they will be glad to answer yours. And, honestly, go in and ask them what they recommend. Try thier favorite foods and favorite desserts. I tried their black currant dressert (black currants are not widely available in the US but are delightful) and I never would have if I didn't ask for a recommendation. At minimum, go in and get 1/4lb of cured meats, some dessert, some bread, and why not some mashed potato dumplings (perogies)... You won't be disappointed.

Very nice people. We have 3 sons who we adopted from Latvia, and this store is a must-stop whenever we are in Richmond. Our boys love chatting with the ladies in Russian and finding the food and treats they miss from home. Highly Recommend!Be sure to try some of the ice cream!

These are really nice folks, and a great selection of Eastern European deli items. Bottled and canned items. Fresh baked breads. A deli counter with meats & cheeses. They make both sweet and savory pastries... both delicious! Best of all a large bulk european candy section. Some of the best chocolates around.
