    Amazing small shop in the city with some of the best bread I've had at very reasonable prices. The sweet bread is delicious and the rye makes great sandwich bread. The shop is small but feels like an old European bakery. Definitely worth stopping at to get a treat or your bread for the week.

    Still warm San Francisco sourdough! Fantastic!!

    A bread-lovers paradise! Great little no-frills shop. Just loaves and loaves of freshly-baked breads. The quality of the ingredients and the love that goes into each bread is very apparent. Drop by this place and pick up a loaf! You'll be hooked!

    You know what I like more than nice, fresh bread? Apparently eating half a loaf of nice, fresh bread. In a day. By myself. Darn your deliciousness, Europa Crust!!!!!! Now I'm going to have to write a review of the gym tomorrow because I definitely see that happening in my near future. We decided to check out the South of the James farmers market today and walking by you smell the heavenly aroma of fresh bread. Some of which is still warm, it is that fresh. I am actually not a super huge fan of sourdough, which is apparently a big seller of theirs, but I have been dying to try some nice Japanese Milk Rolls, so I grabbed a delicious bag of them and they are AMAZING. They are so soft and delicious and good with butter. And jam. And honey. And plain. And moving your pesto sauce around your plate... I have not found a bad use for them yet, which is probably how I ended up eating half of the bag before bedtime. Delicious carb coma, here I come!!!!

    I'm all about the bread and Europa Crust truly delivers! Amazing sourdough breads.....great crunch on the crust and perfectly moist inside! We purchased from the RVA Big Market @Bryan Park and can't wait to try them again

    I had the pleasure of stopping in at Europia Crust for bread the other day and was so glad that I did. As soon as you step in you're greeted by the owner/operator surrounded by proofing loaves ready to be baked and the aromas of ones fresh from the oven. I bought a half loaf of the Rustic Italian and the Nissua Sweet Bread and they were both phenomenal! First off, how cool is it that you can buy a half loaf‽ My family is always leaving bread left over. Don't get me wrong, day old bread is still pretty great, but to be able to buy just the amount you need is even better. So some people are pulp people, some people are crust people. I am squarely in the crust camp. If a loaf doesn't have a good crust, it's not going to be a favorite. Needless to say, that Europia makes a great crust! Give me one of their bread heals any day! All this to say that I'll be heading back to the shop very soon.

    Stopped by one Friday after visiting The Book Bar a few doors down. They apologized for being down to their last few loaves which I thought was awesome that they didn't have a ton of stock near quitting time. Bought two loaves, one Italian and one sourdough which made the best grilled cheese sammies. Great customer service. Wish I found myself downtown more often.

Free off street parking is plentiful. There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.

I ordered several of the savory scones and a couple of cookies and loved them all. Both the cookies and scones vary by flavor but we had a sweet potato scone and a lavender flavored scone. I would not normally have ordered a lavender flavored anything but my wife loves it and I am glad she does. I tried it and struggled to leave any for her. I at almost the entire scone. The sweet potato was equally as good but with a much milder flavor. And the cookies....out of this world! The servers were friendly but nothing over the top. They seemed to be a cog in the machine and churning out orders. Overall, a cute little, vegan, spot with really good pastries and coffee. Head caution on the milkshakes if you are not use to vegan milkshakes. While they taste good, at least to me, they are wildly different than an cows milk milkshake. Alot of people are shocked by this and turned off by the flavor.

My boyfriend got the cheddar biscuits and loved it as well. They also have ice cream, cakes, cookies, scones, coffee, and so much more! I love that they also have vegan candy and chocolate as well as a freezer section with take and bake vegan and some gluten free options. They had frozen croissants, biscuits, breakfast sandwiches and more. The safe was super sweet and helpful too when ordering. I loved how homey and charming all the decor was and the cute wooden booths where you can sit and enjoy. The bakery is in Carytown so you are limited to street parking and pay to park parking decks. But we had no issue finding parking on a rainy Saturday morning. I highly recommend you give this bakery a try regardless of if you have food allergies or not!

We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,
