Came here a few days ago for lunch - we ordered the Naples and Da Vinci and both were delicious. The homemade bread, freshly-sliced meats, fresh vegetables--all superb. I especially liked the Naples - I love pesto on a sandwich, but sometimes it can be overpowering, but the ratios were great here. We also got dessert--dobosh torte (which my partner hasn't had since he was 4) and a rigoletta amandina for me. I've never had either of these cakes elsewhere, but they were great! Not as sweet as your standard American cake, and with a slightly different texture, but everything was light as can be. Highly recommend. I understand what other reviews are saying in that the person at the counter wasn't exuberantly friendly and outgoing, but they answered our questions, got the order right, and when we forgot to get the water we purchased, they brought it to our table, so I would say the customer service we got was still 5 stars. read more

Food here is ethnic European style, my fam and I love it for holidays or party gatherings! Every year I get my birthday cake from this family run shop and they never fail to meet my expectations. No matter if I swing by with my dad, granny, or husband, we're always served with a smile. read more

European Bakery and Cafe - Fruit medley and cream filling with perfectly light and delicious whipped frosting! - Desserts Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

This place is located in a plaza so there is plenty of parking spots. The staff are nice and helpful with providing suggestions and clarifications. I also like the variety here. There is tons of breads and pastries from all over the Europe. The Napoleon cake is my favourite and seeing that there was the best part! The ambiance could be better with some music or something to improve the livelihood of this place. There is a few tables inside and outside if you wanna sit as well. If you like artisan bread, definitely try this place! read more

We ordered a cake for my husband's and grandsons birthdays and were excited to try a new place for a special occasion. The cake was decorated nicely but was slanted and precariously placed in a box it didn't fit. Therefore I carefully held onto for the drive home. Halfway home water gushed out all over my clothes?? (Frozen perhaps?) Daughter was not helpful with my questions over phone and rude when we picked up cake. Bakery was not super clean. Even with all the attitude, I was excited to see how tasty it would be. When I asked by everyone how they liked the cake, unanimously just "it's okay". We won't try again! read more

Oh my - I went the other day and it's closed. I wanted to cry - thank you for the best poppyseed and nut rolls. I don't know what I'm going to do :( read more

This place is our favorite for the taste of the cake. Have ordered customized cakes on various occasions here and have never regretted about it. Cake taste just amazing here that you won't get in any other place. Must try place for your party cakes. However there are couple of things that we don't like here. We have faced some weird staff here who felt to be rude as well occasionally. Not a very pleasant greetings you can expect every time. Secondly, we tried their over the counter bakery items and mostly satisfied with it except one incident when the pastries were frozen badly with ice crystals and it did not taste good at all. At least not when you pay hefty price for the pastries. Coming to price, this place is not cheap at all and don't go if you are looking for similarly priced cakes as in Walmart, fry's and other super market. With the great taste comes the high price. They charge for the quality but it is still worth it and I would recommend this place. read more

I finally found some fantastic Rye bread in Phoenix! I can't wait to try their other breads and cakes.

This place is great! We needed a cake for a birthday and wanted to make it special! They were very responsive via email and were able to make it happen! We went with a German Black Forest cake and it was DELICIOUS! The decorating turned out great and everyone was raving about how amazing the cake looked and how great it tasted! The customer service was also phenomenal! Highly recommend them! read more

Not a bad place for dessert! Wish we could have tried their gelato. Service was slow the day we went but apparently half their staff were out sick. We didn't mind waiting and the woman helping us went to the back to grab the items we asked for. Cakes were not too sweet but also still frozen, probably because we got there early in the day. read more

So excited to be back at this little bakery. Getting sandwiches and desserts to prepare for our day of fun and playing. They are a small shop and we ordered 7 sandwiches and quite a few pastries. We are patient and knew it would take time. They moved quickly and we had all the sandwiches 2 Black Forest, 1 all American, 2 venician, 1 Tuscan & 1 tuna salad and some cookies, macarons, eclair, blueberry crème & tiramisu. Talk about good quality sandwich and some delicious desserts. I am so glad they made it through COVID. So worth it!!!! read more

European Bakery and Cafe - Mango mousse flavor cake - Desserts Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I dont feel welcome here. I thought I was imagining things. This time, it was crystal clear and I am not returning. We ordered a simple birthday cake(nothing fancy) and the next day we went to pick it up and we were made to wait for 15 mins. Only when we asked them for our order they confirmed what they need to write on the cake. I am positive this was intentional, as this is not the first time we get treated like this. No one apologized for the delay or had the courtesy to keep us informed why the order was getting delayed. Hell, they were not even looking at us when talking. They do talk nicely to a few people here and there if they want to. The sisters with dark hair have always been extremely, extremely rude.. no one deserves to be treated like this. Never going back and will never , ever recommend this place to anyone! read more

All the cakes are sponge cake with different flavored cream, the cream are the same, just flavored differently. Poorly quality. Will not recommend! read more

Terrible customer service. Will not be returning here. Food doesn't taste fresh, tastes like they use cheaper ingredients.

the bakery/ cafe seems to be permanently closed. a big loss to the area. hopefully a new location nearby will pop up.

UPDATED TO 1 STAR Gave it another chance and came in to buy some pastries for me and my husbands anniversary. ZERO options this was soo disappointing and it was all old left overs. I came in as soon as they opened and no one greeted me for the first 10 minutes I was just standing at the register as the two employees kept passing by and clearly could see me standing there. There was only one other customer in there that was already helped. I will NEVER be back. I don't know how your in business your service is awful and so are the options. And the setting just feels depressing in there. read more

Best place to come and get desserts & bread from! They have Romanian Desserts! They have my favorite cake which is Dobos( it's layers of chocolate!) Also you can order birthday cakes from here. Also you can order other cakes and they will have it ready for you to pick it up. Also the bread tastes amazing. They can also slice the bread for you. They also make sandwiches. They are closed on Sunday & Monday read more

"A party without cake is really just a meeting." ― Julia Child On one particularly busy work day, my friend had dropped by to surprise me with a midday sweet! Opening the box with care, there were so many to choose from. Out of all the slices I was bestowed, I chose the Day & Night Cake. The chocolate part of the cake was light, fluffy, and moist. The white cake on the other hand was dry. It also had a sprinkling of walnuts in between the layers of cake. Overall, I found the cake to be a tad too sweet for my liking. When asking my friend how the other slices fair, it seemed to be a pattern that the white cakes were dry while the chocolate ones fair better. He also said the hazelnut cake was the most impressive as it had actual hazelnut. At $2.99 a slice, you're getting a pretty good quality slice. While I wouldn't go out of my way to stop in for a sweet treat, I wouldn't decline a slice if it was presented to me either! ;) read more

Saw a sign for authentic European bakery and decided to try them out for lunch. There was no one up front when we entered, which was fine so we could review the menu. We ordered and the woman working started making our sandwiches. Firstly, she was using a knife to cut plastic wrap off the turkey that was wrapped. She was sawing off the stickers on the meat, which isn't great. Not exactly hygienic as that's clearly going to cut everything else in the sandwich. Secondly, and even worse, she pulled out a block of cheese covered in mold to cut and put on our sandwiches. We asked her about it and she quickly took the cheese to the back and came back to tell us it was the packaging. It was clearly gray/green mold on the bright yellow cheese and we again expressed concern. She said she needed to get a manager and disappeared to the back. I'm not sure how many more people would have been served or told it was just packaging if we had not pointed it out. But she seemed perfectly comfortable with us walking out as we told her we would. read more

This place has AMAZING treats and especially wonderful sandwiches! The sandwiches use freshly baked bread and stacked with a lot of meats ( or whatever you have)! I love this place. The only reason not 5 star is they are super slow. I think they only have one or two people behind the counter and they move as fast as they can, but it just takes a bit to get your delicious, awesome, worth-the-wait food! read more

So, I had high hopes for this place. Upon entering, you will be met with confusion if you are not the only patron in line. The store is tiny and laid out horribly. The staff is kind of passively aggressively rude. We ordered coffee and dessert. The coffee was decent, the eclair was good, but the cake was not good. One would assume a bakery made cakes themselves, but one slice was partially frozen inside and the cake was dry. I can't imagine a bakery making a fresh cake and then freezing it, so I'm assuming the only thing they bake is the bread. Pretty disappointing to say the least. read more

My husband and I stopped in on a weekday and this shop was glad that this shop wasn't too busy. We ordered the Tiramisu and the Mango cake. Both were very delicious! I am used to eating Asian cakes, which tend to be less sweet than most American cakes. I was initially afraid these would be too sweet for my liking, but was pleasantly surprised. They were delicious. read more

Very sorry to bring bad news to this place. Cookies were great, cake was BAD, especially a 9" cake that cost $39.00. I called them in the morning and placed an order for pick up at 2PM - they agreed that was fine, for a fully chocolate cake. They made the inside cake chocolate but the icing was white :(. When we ate it [sisters birthday] the cake was stale! The filling was very thin, but the decoration was nice. Gravely disappointed. Not pursuing a refund, just letting you know. read more

I had ordered a cake and the event was canceled. They charged me for the full amount even though i notified them in advance.

The service was good there but the racks were empty. I didn't know what to order with my first time being there but the bread I did buy was delicious and the cannolis were a hit with the family. read more

I was excited to find what I thought was a true European bakery. I entered to find another customer ahead of me and no greeting from the staff member making a sandwich. After 5 minutes I sat down. Another customer entered the establishment and the staff member rang a bell 3 times. From the back appeared an irritated staff member for being taken away from whatever she was doing. There was an unpleasant exchange of words between them. The customer ahead of me asked if she could place her bakery order while her sandwich was being made. The 2nd staff member seemed put out. But filled the order. With some comment about "you don't take care of my customer." Are they on commission? My time to order. I ordered the rum balls and Italian bread. The rum balls are by no means worth buying. I tossed them into the trash. The Italian bread is like a piece of gum. No texture, no life whatsoever. My family immigrated from Scilly this bakery is not European by any means. read more

This is a great family owned bakery. I haven't. Tried their pastries yet but their sandwiches are amazing. Fresh ingredients and the sandwiches are giant. The family who run it are very nice too. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood and I'm hungry, I'll be stopping by. read more

We tried a few of the sandwiches, they were delicious, the bread was just so perfect. Also tried the cannolis, also delicious and light. We'll definitely be back and try more of their items. read more

Mixed feelings about this little place but I'd give them a second chance. Positives are the person in front of me picked up an ordered cake and it looked amazing, like art work. We just needed some sub rolls and they were good. The negatives: 1) Barely anything in the display cases. We wanted to get a dessert too but there was literally nothing to choose. 2) The place is uncomfortably warm 3) Service was slow 4) Sign says mask required so my wife didn't have one and we complied, and she waited in the car. However, half the guest had no mask and it was not enforced. Either require it or don't, but do it fairly and make people adhere to your store expectations. read more

Visited this business to try their poppy seed rolls. It was a forty mile round trip but had heard they were worth it! I gave the cashier a coupon I had recently purchased, she mumbled something and disappeared into the kitchen. The owner then emerged, yelling that he would not honor the coupon because he told the issuing company five years ago not to include his business and they continue to do so. This was a nice meet/greet for a new customer!! I explained that I had just purchased the coupon and that I had driven across town. He replied "get your money back". I left without purchasing anything from this character. If coupons are not honored then he should state that on his site or have a sign at the register. Interestingly, I contacted the issuing company and was told that this merchant has accepted coupons. Apparently, doing so when it suits him and when business is slow!!! read more

Got my sweet tooth going a found this hole in the wall bakery on the NW corner of Bell Road and 35th Avenue. Talk about a selection. All the breads, gelato flavors, pasties, sandwiches and more got my flavor alert going something fast. I got some vanilla cinnamon coffee which was outstanding. The samples of gelato were smooth and very fresh. I set my eyes on strawberry mouse to satisfy my sweet tooth. It was good except it tasted partially frozen. I think they need to raise the temperature just a bit in those display cases. Overall, these hidden gems really remind me of what made New York so special for me. It wasn't the big shiny restaurants but the family owned small shops that you had to seek out and had home cooking that made the trip worth it. European Bakery will make your trip worth it. Be sure to check out all the pictures I uploaded to get a real feel for the variety and great feel of this place. read more
