★★★★★ 5.0 Ed Hendel · Dec 2025

European Delights has the best apple strudel I've ever tasted. The apples are sliced paper-thin and layered throughout, creating a wonderful texture in every bite. The dough is exactly what you want from a strudel: flaky on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Ask them to warm it up for you. They have several other apple treats (apple cinnamon rolls, apple brioche) that are similarly fantastic. The pistachio croissant is another standout. It's filled with a delicious pistachio paste studded with whole pistachios for a little crunch, plus a hint of Belgian chocolate. I've never tasted anything quite like it. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The owners (a brother and sister duo) take time to chat with regulars, and it gives the bakery a genuine neighborhood fee

★★★★★ 5.0 Julia K · Dec 2025

This bakery is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic European-style pastries. Everything is beautifully made, but the Yule log they baked for me was truly exceptional—rich, perfectly balanced, and elegant in both flavor and presentation. You can taste the craftsmanship in every bite. My personal favorite is their apple strudel. It’s hands down the best I’ve had outside of Europe: delicate, flaky layers, perfectly spiced apples, and just the right amount of sweetness. Nothing is heavy or overly sugary—just classic, traditional baking done right. If you’re looking for real European pastry made with care and skill, this bakery is a must-visit. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I love almond croissants and normally travel to napa bouchon bakery for my favorite. I was excited to try this place based off of the reviews. I wasn't crazy about their almond croissant, I like a like a little crunch to mine with a soft center. There wasn't much of a crunch and I didn't like the almond filling it tasted artificial to me. My friend ordered a pistachio pastry and the paste on the inside was a little too sweet for my liking. If there is an next time I will ask and try the items that other customers recommend.

★★★★☆ 4.0 SC · Aug 2024

It’s a relative with decent bakery. Always was on my bucket list to go to. Finally made it and slightly disappointed with the bakery selection and coffee, coffee strength and quality. Very clean and comfortable environment. Everything looked very neat inside. The owner takes pride in his place! Nice wall arts and greenery inside of the shop. Some dishes might be delicious. However, I picked the cinnamon swirl and it turned out to be a little bit sugary. My wife’s gone on the other hand was relatively tasty. The coffee was really watery and didn’t taste well. Had to go next-door to correct it. Overall is a very nice place with the great, Romanian hospitality.

European Delight Cafe is a fantastic spot, conveniently located in a plaza with plenty of free parking and a Tesla supercharger. Their coffee is delicious, with great dairy-free milk options, and they offer a wide variety of freshly baked pastries. I tried the gluten-free mango muffin and almond cookies—both were fresh and absolutely delicious! The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a treat. Highly recommend!
