So excited when I found this market. In addition, they have a bakery, and make incredible homemade cheese danish and poppy seed roll. They have a packaged one as well that is tasty, but the home baked loaf is incredible. I got mine today and it was still warm right out of the oven.They also have a variety of kielbasa. Yum! Reminds me of growing up in New York.

I have thrown away so many things that have been bad after purchasing here! Like hundreds of dollars worth of their deli meats. Recently I bought a cheese pastry, it was completely raw on the bottom. See picture. I purchased some pryniki in a bag, when I opened them there was mold on them!!! I kept trying this place hoping to get good quality items, but it has always been a disappointment!! My husband keeps telling me to not shop there!!!

I definitely recommend checking out this store. I’ve wanted to visit for awhile now and finally got a chance to yesterday. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. I was in the mood for a sandwich and a little something to go with it. My sandwich was very tasty and they let me sample the carrot salad before I committed. I’m definitely going back for more of that salad. Their bread is awesome so I’ll probably get a loaf next time. Can’t wait to go back!

Ive always loved different European foods and love to try new foods as well. I went on a friends recommendation and was so glad I did. They have so many fresh, frozen, and even mixed European favorites. I love pierogies and they didnt disappoint. They have fresh fruits, veggies, bread, salads, meat, cheeses, and even hot foods next to a mouthwatering case of dessert. They also have candy by the pound. To top off an amazing trip to a foodies Disneyland the service was the best part. Smiles, laughs, and any question answered. Will definitely be returning. Also, they do take EBT for those who are curious.

The best russian store Ive been to in US! Great selection, variety of cheese, sausages, fish and candy! They even carry russian ice cream and pelmeni! Everything is fresh and you can try their kolbasa before you buy it.If I could, Id leave 3 five star review, coz I, relaying on google reviews, went to another store at first...Lots of customers to you, guys!

The piroshki here is so unbelievably delicious!! I used to be strict about eating piroshki and other foods from European delis in terms of I’d only buy them from one specific store in Washington, but I am so happy to have found this place!! Their selection is very versatile and the food is always divine.

Beautiful people and beautiful store. I am not European but love this store and the culture. Everything from deli is delicious and bread is 10/10. As my fellow brother has said, ignore all the bad reviews due to “CDC guideline... blah blah... I’ll do anything the government tells me to do.. here take everything I own” they have a right to stay locked in their indoors, so just stay there!. “Let me wear a mask that doesn’t work and give me hand sanitizer for my hands only, like the virus just magically disappears off my phone and all my other accessories. It makes me feel safe. Blah blah LISTEN TO MY REVIEW the world revolves around me!! They hurt my feelings!! ” AH Ignore them. WHERE ARE THE FREE THINKERS. Fully support this place!!! 10/10 recommend. Support small business!!! Don’t let the gov take them down!!

Absolutely the best european food store and deli Ive been to in the state of Idaho. Huge selection of Eastern European sausages, fish, little bit of produce and some naturopathic herbs and remedies. Devine European cakes and pastries, freshly baked breads and pirozhki. Excellent customer service.

I really love the European deli. So fun just to look at all the cool stuff that they have in there. Chocolates, different cookies & candy, Pantry items, frozen food, interesting beverages, they even have kefir! Great prices on their yummy hot food and an hour before closing it is 50% off the hot food. They have beef samsas, piroshkis, chicken meatballs (cotlets) stuffed peppers, beet salad, seaweed salad and much more! A nice exotic selection of cheese --but its best to eat the slices fresh the same day because it ends up being some sort of a strange crispy texture after a few days! All the chicken selections are pretty good, but I thought their fish was a bit fishy and have hesitated to try it again . Same with the liver, I was brave to try it but probably wont do it again . Fair warning -- its a long wait sometimes at the deli area, and you have to ring bells to get peoples attention either there or at the cash register, at times.... But all of this gives it some kind of Eastern European character that I find endearing when Im not in a rush! That said, try not to go when youre in a rush but have plenty of time to tool around & wait :)

Customer service is absolutely horrible there is never anybody at the register and I had to wait 5 minutes for somebody to help me and they seemed very annoyed and had to wait for someone to cut my bread customer service is just horrible.

Love this place! Ignore the one star review bombs from the masked masses afraid of their own shadow. They are fully within their rights to lock themselves in plastic bubbles indoors where its safe and the big mean scary viruses cant get to them.

Review №20

The store was great. They have a great selection of teas, sodas, and novel foods. I took one star because the cashier wasnt pleasant (he wasnt rude, he just wasnt pleasant), and I took another star because he wasnt wearing a mask. I witnessed him check out a customer with no mask on while not wearing a mask. Were in the middle of a pandemic and that kind of behavior spreads covid 19 and kills people. It makes me, as a customer, feel like they dont value my safety (or the safety of their employees for that matter). Please let me know when you decide to take the pandemic seriously enough to follow CDC guidelines to protect your staff and customers.

Review №27

This is hands down the nicest European market with an amazing selection. Unfortunately they dont pay much attention to their customers. I had a full cart of groceries and waited at the deli for over 10 minutes without so much as an acknowledgement. Two ladies behind the counter treated me as if I were invisible. One was working on an order and the other just walked back and forth adjusting the deli signs. I pointed at what I wanted, tried making eye contact... no response. I put $150+ in groceries back and left. Now were headed to European Delicious where the staff is always attentive.

I was really pleasantly surprised with everything in this store! Staff was really nice although for our standards little shy but they tried to help out whatever we asked them. Prices are reasonable, comparing to some other similar stores they are even better, selection is amazing! I could stay in this store for hours (which I did) and shop what I need and what I want to try fir the first time. Great place!

I spent over an hour browsing before deciding what to buy in this delightful, super clean deli/store.The staff are helpful and friendly and the deli choices are plentiful. A great selection of cheeses and meats. I bought my favorite kielbasa sausage and it didnt even make it home, I ate it in the car on the way!! We also really liked the big selection of pick n mix candy and enjoyed everyone had we tried!The prices were surprisingly reasonable considering everything has to be imported.Im already looking forward to my next visit.

If you are looking for a treat, this place has a nice selection of imported foods. Their service is lacking sometimes. Some of the items are close to or past best by dates because of long transport times but we have never had a spoiled food item. Most of the food is fresh and delicious! We visit regularly.

Great market with wonderful in-house baked goods and food. Only problem is that they never seem to have more than one person working the register, even when there are 10 people waiting in line. Is the other register broken? 💔

Review №47

The prices here are great, the customer service is horrendous, one of the worst Ive ever seen. The staff is literally nowhere to be found. The cashier is never at the register. If youre looking for stuff from the deli, youre going to be waiting for a really long time, even after they see you all the way in the back and you interrupt them talking by simply your presence. No willingness to help whatsoever, not one smile, once you waited an eternity and they decide to help you, dont worry you wont understand if you dont speak the language they speak, because they dont speak English, and they speak to you in their native language, and expect you to understand. Dont come here unless you want to be confused, waste your time and save since money.

My wife went to the store today today to do a little shopping shes German.well she asked if they had any German foods there, and the lady very rudely said in a heavy accent NO German here! Needless to say she was shocked by the comment. Like she was a Nazi or something. They should get some help that at least speaks and understands ENGLISH. My wife asked a few questions and to no avail got no answers because the clerk had no clue what my wife was talking about.Needless to say my wife wont shop there anymore. And neither will i.
