This place is simply wonderful!!! Smells like heaven inside, warm cinnamon, baked bread, and coffee..... Warning, it gets BUSY! Plan ahead!!! There is a reason they are so busy! Farm fresh eggs, in-house baked bread, and the coffees!!! This is a must try! Lots of authentic German breakfast options. There are no bad choices here! Service is excellent! read more

Wow, what a treat! We arrived around 7:00am on a Friday and were seated immediately. I ordered the Munich omelette with rye toast and hashbrowns. My boyfriend ordered the European breakfast with sausage patties, hashbrowns, and sourdough toast. We also ordered the combo of aebleskivers, so we could try all three. Excellent: rye toast, the house made hot sauce, the raspberry jam, and the aebkeskivers, especially the sausage and cheese one. Very good: sourdough and shade grown coffee Good: Munich omelette (a bit overcooked) Okay: sausage patties Eh: hashbrowns were unseasoned and flavorless Service was excellent from start to finish, and the place was clean and comfortable. We'll be back! read more

Absolutely loved this place. They were pretty busy during breakfast but that's to be expected. Decor inside is welcoming and warm. The serve explained the menu and specials and what they're known for. The food was some of the best, warmest, and fresh I've ever had for breakfast with great portions. This place is a real treat! read more

Great workers great food very busy but worth it gone there maybe 10 times break Family but make sure you're hungry premier seating just a nice place to go to read more

Service at this location was fantastic and they are very knowledgeable about the services and products they offer. Food was delicious and even the small wait we had was great. Definitely recommend them. read more

Wonderful experience! A family owned business that takes pride in their history and heritage. Everything is baked from scratch and sourced locally. I recommend splitting a Dutch baby it was more than one person could eat in one sitting. Although, excellent re-heated in the over! We were even given a fresh sample of the sourdough and strawberry jam! We will be returning! read more

Highly Recommend: First time here. Restaurant clean. Waiter (Cameron) was very knowledgeable and friendly. Very patient and answered all of our questions. All food was delicious, fresh, and hot. We ordered: crepes, European breakfast, Dutch Ableskievers (spelling?), Austrian coffee. Manager Katy came to our table to chat and check on us. Gave us a complimentary cinnamon roll! read more

Loved our breakfast here! Everything from the fresh squeezed OJ to the eggs benedict & french toast was excellent! Oh and the dark russian rye toast & their homemade jam was so yummy! We're definitely coming back to try the biscuits & gravy & the omelettes! This place is a little gem! read more

This place is so fun and has a lot of variety! Customer service is always welcoming and quick every time we come in. My son loves their breakfast items (I can't believe there's a free hotcake involved?) and I am a big fan of the potato pancakes and appelskievers. Sometimes it takes a bit for the food to come out but it is definitely worth it. The atmosphere is homey and inviting, and there is plenty of parking. read more

This place was top 5 breakfast foods I've ever had. I have no idea why someone would give it less than 5 stars. The service was great. Our waitress was super pleasant and attentive. Everything done in timely fashion. The food was out of this world. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Portions were great too you're getting lots of food. read more

Wow the soup was so good. Crepes were amazing. I had the BLT and WOW!!! Elaine was so awesome. Will come back here 100%

We heard amazing things about this place. Family owned, everything made from scratch, sweet and savory, and all things delicious so we had to swing by before leaving Idaho. The staff are so nice and shared a little bit about the history of the restaurant. Our group ordered different meals but what stood out to me were the Aebelskivers. I always try to make a point to order something unique about any restaurant I go to. The Blueberry as well as the Havarti Cheese & Sausage stuffed Aebelskivers did not disappoint and for those of us who did not order them (and because it was our first time there), they came by with a plateful of Aebelskivers for them to try anyway. You will not regret giving this place a try and I will definitely be going back when I'm in Idaho again! read more

I will start with the positive, the coffee & orange juice tasted good & the eggs were made just the way we ordered them. Our server was very mediocre, only check on us once & was slow to get back to us with drinks & our receipt. She was always kind when at the table, which was refreshing. The hash browns tasted like they had been frost bitten, thawed & cooked. We also decided to get a pancake with whip cream & strawberries. The pancake was average flavor, but the soggy strawberries were gross! When you're paying almost 4 extra dollars for strawberries & whip cream, I would expect fresh. Our bacon was good flavor but extremely thin. The ambiance was fine, just a normal breakfast place. Our bill was over $50 for 2 people. Expensive & not worth that cost. I don't mind spending money for good food , this wasn't it! read more

We could not have been much more disappointed compared to our previous visit to this location. We came in on a damp, cold, rainy Sunday morning. We got on the list immediately. Wait for it ... and as more and more people came in, they were getting seated but we weren't. I asked the hostess where we were on that list because more recent additions were getting seated and we hadn't? "Oh, there you are, I've already called you twice and you never answered." ... Ummm, no, we were less than six feet away and you never called us at all. So, it was a good thing I asked. She summoned the person in the apron to "bus that table" and seated us immediately (at one of those tiny two-top mini-table things) RIGHT NEXT TO THE FRONT DOOR (so our food didn't stand a chance of staying hot long enough to enjoy.) As for the food itself, my omelette was as flat and unappealing as a rubber table mat and the sparse fillings were concentrated at one end of the food. And the house feature item ... the aebelskivers? When they came out, the server laid the plate down and dashed. We kept trying to get someone's attention to bring her back so we might get some gravy to have with them? All I can figure is that we must have been as invisible to them as to the hostess. No chance for gravy, eh? This was the most aggravating (BUT EXPENSIVE) breakfast mistake we've had in a long time. I know this much... next time, if the occasion arises... Denny's is right next door and we can get treated as minimally as we were for a whole lot less of my hard-earned money. SO DISAPPOINTED at them and angry with myself for not venting all this to the manager before leaving. read more

Wonderful service and an interesting menu, all well-executed. Portion sizes were immense.

We really love the breakfast and cinnamon rolls at Old European! We stopped in a few weeks ago and ordered 2 cinnamon rolls to go. They were not what we expected. The rolls were dry, especially around the edges. We couldn't even eat them because they were so dry. We went back and nicely explained the situation to one of their employees. She was extremely rude, and said that I would have to talk to her manager. The manager was the rudest person I have ever encountered at a restaurant. She said that she could replace them, but that was it!!! I told her that would be fine. That's all that we wanted. She came back with a box and said that she talked to the CEO, and I should have came back sooner!!! We rarely drive to Post Falls. The situation was so embarrassing. Why must someone be rude over 2 cinnamon rolls. It just wasn't worth it! read more

I've been several times but wanted to bring my dad here before his flight home. The service was exceptional. From the moment we walked in until we were finished, we were constantly checked on and the food was delivered fairly quickly. I had the German Potato Pancakes. Light and fluffy, with bits of sausage in the batter. They were served with applesauce which is the perfect condiment. My dad had Veggie Browns and Cheese. The veggies were fresh and paired well with the potatoes. I also ordered the Original Aebelskivers that come with a Blackberry Syrup and Applesauce. Because it was Dad's first time there, the waitress brought over a small dish of 3 Stuffed (Savory sausage and Havarti cheese). Both types of Aebelskivers were warm and tasty. We had plenty of food left over for another breakfast. read more

The Old European Restaurant - Original Aebelskivers with Blackberry Syrup and Apple Sauce. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Post Falls, Idaho

A charming restaurant where everything is made from scratch, old style. We and our friends had the Swedish strawberry crepes, sourdough bread with strawberry jam, buckwheat and regular pancakes, eggs and bacon. The fresh squeezed OJ was mild and delicious. The pancakes, both types were so tender and fluffy, and the bacon was exceptional in flavor. The crepes were extra flavorful with orange juice in the batter. The only disappointment in the meal was the fresh fruit cup. It was apples, grapes, and cantaloupe, which flavors had melded together ....standard buffet fair for a high price. A strawberry, some banana, orange or pineapple would have really made it worth the price. Our waitress and the whole staff were friendly and attentive. We loved the stories in the menu and the homey sayings on the walls, etc. read more

I have not been to restaurant this amazing with incredible quality in a very long time!!! We stumbled upon this gem on our vacation here. We purchased a loaf of bread because we wanted to take a taste of this home. I highly recommend their homemade hot sauce if you are debating trying it. Everything we ordered was impressive!!! read more

Excellent quality food but the service was even better. Lindsay M. knew everything about the restaurant and the food since it was our first time. She even gave us a potato pancake that they make there. It was outstanding. The restaurant is clean and family oriented. A must for breakfast if you're passing through or live locally. read more

Do not miss this place. Cool atmosphere. 70s tunes. Good service. Friendly staff. Amazing food. We tried the German pancakes, normal and sausage "skivers". All good, but the sausage skivers were unbelievable. So good. read more

Outstanding food! Old world traditional dishes creatively prepared. Had the Hungarian goulash served as a breakfast scramble. The peri peri sauce is not for the faint of heart. I have a high tolerance for spicy foods and this hit a nice level between making my nose run but not quite hot enough to make my forehead sweat. Many intriguing pastries, pancakes other sweet options, but I'm still recovering from the holidays. Servers were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Facility was clean, comfortable and efficiently organized. Must try if you are in the area! read more

I got the German potato pancakes and they were great. We also tried the abelskeivers. The omelette fell way short of par but the rest was real good. The fresh bread was fantastic. They are definitely niche and recommend going there for the style of old Europe decor and the traditional style food. Staff is friendly and seem to appreciate the patrons. Will definitely return. read more

I truly love this place! The service is Bussin! And I love the food. It taste so good and taste fresh I love it so much!!! The vibe is amazing. It really does make you feel like you're eating breakfast in Europe. I love it so much! I would definitely recommend this for Sunday brunch or anytime. Love it so much definitely go try!!! read more

We have been here twice and each time enjoyed it. I had an Omelette with Hash Browns and they know how to cook the hash browns compared to a certain restaurant that brought them out black and dark brown. read more

Where do I start? Soooo good! Non GMO breads, baker in house, farm fresh eggs and even Himalayan salt at the table. As someone who cares about ingredients, this place checked all the boxes. Oh and the house made sourdough bread is delicious. Get a loaf to go! The only problem is trying to decide what to order. The fresh squeezed orange juice leaves you wanting to order another glass. The customer service was great, our server was so kind and everyone seemed happy to be there. read more

The service was friendly and fast. Our server Jared was so kind and made us feel very welcomed! It was our first time here visiting Idaho and this restaurant and I am happy to say we will be back. The restaurant is known for their aebelskivers and you need to try all three of them (the sausage, traditional, and blueberry). Give this place a try you won't be disappointed! read more

Visiting the area and stopped into this breakfast spot with the family. We had the Hungarian Goulash with French toast, pancakes, the specialty home made sour dough, and the little stuffed donut balls (forgot the name. Everything was DELICIOUS!! Enough leftovers to provide a second breakfast at home tomorrow! Service was great, there was no wait (on a Saturday), highly recommend! read more

What a great restaurant. Amazing from the minute you arrive. First, get the French Press coffee; it's amazingly good! Same as if you make it at home, but they make it for you here! SO much better than just regular coffee; it really makes your morning. Second, get anything on the menu, but the Old European was delicious! Was it special and out of this world? Yes and no, meaning that it was eggs, hashbrowns ham/bacon, etc, and toast, same as most places, HOWEVER, this WAS so top-notch that it blows you away! Fresh, high quality, and just fantastic. The BREAD was so insanely good, fresh, and soft that I couldn't get enough! My friend had the Eggs Benedict and it looked SO good, and she said it was the best she had... Our server, Kurt, was top-notch; happy, friendly, great personality, fun, and fantastic. I CANNOT ever go anywhere else for breakfast for the rest of my life! This place looks typical but serves top-notch everything from start to finish! read more

We were given a complimentary strawberry crepe to share as a first time visitor. It was delicious. However, our server charged us for it as well as another questionable item we did not understand when ordering from menu. When she came back to our table with a new check we were charged double our original order! $85.00. !!! HUGH MISTAKE THAT LEFT A BAD FEELING FOR THIS PLACE. read more

Great breakfast menu! I had egg Benedict which was my standard to compare all restaurants - met my expectations at the door with a hint of homemade and nostalgia! We were there a bit late in the morning (before 11 am if you want the breakfast menu as I recall) and my wife was ready for lunch so she asked for chicken noodle soup and they took the effort to get it ready a bit early for her. Great family business! read more

I was on the way to Coeur D'Alene and found this place on Yelp, The Old European. Seduced by all the glowing reviews, I thought I will give this a try. When the food arrived, it looked great. Turns out the Hungarian goulash was a thinned out Omelet; Potatoes, veggies, 3 eggs and three types of meat mixed together, topped with cheddar cheese and fresh tomatoes. The goulash I had the the past was always a stew. It tasted just ok. The Danish Blue Berry Aebleskivers were also ok; a balled up pancake. This is an Americanised European, old as it may be. The cinamon roll was covered in sugar like everything American. Europeans use less than half the amount of sugar. There is so much sugar in Subway sandwich bread that the European courts say it cannot be called bread. Well, let them eat cake! read more

Staff was so nice and helpful with figuring out what to order. We tried most of their popular culture items. They were delicious. I also ordered the chicken fried steak which was decent for the type of restaurant. My husband ordered the veggie omelette which he probably wouldn't order next time. They make all their food from scratch which is really nice! read more

We were seated quickly, greeted warmly by Cameron who was very attentive and explained all the wonderful information about the restaurant- how everything is made from scratch and they have fresh pressed orange juice. The menu was 5 pages and full of descriptions, options and everything you'd want to know about what to order. I chose the ham and cheddar omelette with a cream cheese cinnamon roll. I wish I would've taken a picture of the food! I was very hungry and the omelette was so fluffy and the perfect portion size. The cinnamon roll was picture perfect, and so delicious. It was definitely a family atmosphere! If I'm ever in Post Falls ID again, it will be a must stop. Thank you!! read more

Listen, if I were on death row and they asked me what I wanted for my last meal, I'd say the Abelskivers stuffed with sausage and Bacardi cheese from the Old European. They're that good. read more

I decided to visit Old European after reading the reviews. I was in town from California and looking to enjoy some good food for breakfast. Thank you my fellow Yelpers for not letting me down. Food here was fabulous and everything is made from scratch. I wish I had you guys in California. I will miss your deliciousness! I totally forgot the name of their stuffed ball of sausage and cheese....but those babies were great!! A must try. read more

Given the great reviews this place had, we were excited for the food. It was the morning after my cousin's wedding and all 10 of us were famished. There was a wait- about 45 minutes which was fine given our party size and that the place was packed. Unfortunately everything we ordered- except for the blueberry pancakes was nearly inedible. We sent the hashbrowns back to be cooked a bit more, they were not crispy at all. Anything made with their flour was thick, doughy and tasteless. Even the bacon was somehow tasteless. Two stars because when we told the server, we were given some vouchers for our next visit. Unfortunately we don't live in the area, so we won't be able to use them. It would have been nicer to have a discount on the food, given that 9/10 meals were not finished. read more
