Review from Kate D.

I order from this EuroPan through Seamless at least once a week. Delivery is usually prompt (if they're late, it's by no more than five minutes), and always courteous.
What I appreciate about EuroPan is that I often find myself thinking, "You know what? I want an egg sandwich...and a piece of pizza...and a hamentaschen...and a burger." Not only can I get all of these things at EuroPan, they all end up being pretty tasty (unlike many places who serve eighty four million different things and they're all mediocre).
They don't serve anything life-changing, and I'm occasionally disappointed to put in an order online to only have them call me and go, "We're out of black and white cookies/everything bagels/diet Coke." I've learned to put in options in the "special instructions" box on Seamless to avoid that awkward phone call.
On the whole, EuroPan is a solid choice, if you're looking for a quick, inexpensive, and reasonably tasty meal. -

Only reviewing the breakfast--it was basically diner food (ham, eggs, pancakes). The fresh squeezed orange juice (16 oz) was pretty good as was the fresh fruit cup (16 oz). It came to $18, a little on the high side for what it was.
I had some rugala for my plane ride back home and it was stale. Given all of the baked goods in the windows, I was hoping that a rugala could be done well.
Not likely to return, unless I need a quick bite. -

Do NOT make this mistake unless you for some reason can't walk a block or two to a better quality place that actually cares about giving patrons what they order.
Ordered here from through Seamless. Said it would be ready in 5-10 minutes. Show up 15 minutes later, they haven't even STARTED my order.
It gets worse. Apparently the chicken soup isn't ready yet, so the woman at the counter asks if they can substitute an omelette instead. So I say ok.
After 30 minutes I'm out the door with my stuff. When I get home, I see that instead of an omelette she gave me OATMEAL (which usually costs $2 instead of $4.50 for the soup, WTF). The burger has none of the condiments on it. Just a dry, tasteless burger patty. And they susbstituted home fries for French Fries without asking me, probably because they were too lazy to make the fries to order.
Seriously -- if it's going to take you 30 minutes to make something, then indicate it. Don't make me wait around for 20 minutes only to not give me what I ordered. -

After seeing Spiderman (the play) and walking back to our hotel, I got a big attack of the munchies. This place was nicely full of people and the food inside looked nice, so I gave it a try. There was so much to choose from, but I settled on a big slice of baklava and enjoyed it immensely.
Even though it was busy the staff was efficient and friendly, giving each person the attention they needed to make their picks. -

The food is ok depending on what you order. I did not like the service though, when I went in there were only 6 customers, and they seated me at the very end of the restaurant, far from everybody else, behind a wall.
My spaghetti was ok, nothing too fancy about it. -

Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Price: $7.50 for an omelet
This place sets the standard for what is truly average for a cafe/deli in midtown: average food quality and average service (delivery time is 25-30 minutes). That's all well and good except the prices are higher than average...! -

EuroPan is one of the quintessential New York Cafes, the crowds pour into the establishment because of the enormous amount of traffic that passes by the business. Because of this, Europan can get away with being mediocre and still mange to stay in business.
I avoided the deserts and went straight for the staple, ordering 2 slices of the pizza. To my surprise, it was surprisingly over priced for street food, a slice will run you about 4.50 versus 2-3 else where. Getting a drink? You will easily pay double digits.
Price is not a factor yet relevant when the food is bland, cold, and basically there as a filler. My pizza lacked almost every quality of a desirable pizza, it was dry and barely warm. The ingredients were sub-par and add no significant flavor.
Although it was busy and buzzing with patrons, they are there out of necessity rather than enjoyment.
I would not recommend Europan. -

OK, so the black and white cookie is moist and delicious. Really, it is. Nothing like the paperweights of stale cupcakes they have. Glass of milk and giant cookie in hand, I forgive this place for the cupcakes, the EuroPan Achilles' Heels. Honestly, this is the best black and white cookie I've had in the Times Square-ish area.

Think the "Soup Nazi" is gone? Nope, he's at EuroPan! :-P
Do you miss Al from The Soup Man, and have a wanting to get yelled at? Well, go to the Times Square EuroPan! There, you can have a barely-able-to-speak-English douchebag bark at you beacause he can't understand you said Grilled Chicken with Cheddar instead of Grilled Chicken with Bacon! &%$#-wad.
What about the food? Who cares. It was good enough for sandwiches, but I am certainly not going back there again. Yet another lousy-ass Times Square restaurant! The only place I would go in that area is Junior's. Avoid all others! You have been warned, chilluns.....Listed in: New York City

Since it's right around the corner from The Brit's parking, we pass EuroPan nearly every time I come into town and we come from JFK. I've gotten a buttered roll which wasn't so good, but the Croissants are FANTASTIC and so are the bagels. Better than others I've had. Last week I stared longingly in the window at the Italian Wedding cookies, reminding myself that it was 9am and too early for a cookie. They also had the biggest red velvet cupcake I've ever seen in the window, which I'd normally drool over, but again, it was 9am. Their sandwiches lined up in the deli window remind me of cafes in Paris with cheese and bright red tomatoes. Careful in getting your stuff... the guys behind the counter just hand it to whoever and someone might run off with your bagels and cream cheese!

Conveniently located to my friend's apartment, we stopped by EuroPan for a quick bit to eat and a coffee. A wide selection of items from bagel sandwiches, quiches, salads, pizza, paninis and pastries - I went with the quiche which was okay. The portion was huge - about 1/4 of the pie tin - but a bit bland. I got the ham and cheese quiche which was too dense and eggy for me.
But this place is more like a cafeteria - lots of different types of food to please many people's palettes. There's a wide selection of items, service is quick, so it's good enough for me! -

One word: Mandelhornchen!
I can't believe they have them. When I grew up in Germany, Mandelhornchen were always a great treat to get from the local bakery. When I stopped by for a bottle of water just a few weeks ago I saw they had these lovely pastries in their case! My jaw was open. I couldn't believe it. YES! YES YES YES YES YES! I then proceeded to riverdance.
They thought that was odd.
For those of you who do NOT know what Mandelhornchen is, it is a almond paste/marzipan cake/cookie in the shape of the letter U. This is then rolled in slice almonds and baked. Then... the ends are dipped in dark chocolate. Slap my ass and call me happy! And at $2 a pop, I can't complain!!
HOORAY!

I enjoyed their lunch (half wrap & small soup combo) special.
Italian Roast Beef Wrap
WOW. This is my first time trying the combo of roast beef and Italian dressing in a sandwich/wrap. This turned out very good. The Italian dressing, fresh sliced tomatoes, and cheese melded sooo well with the roast beef. I need to try this beautiful combination again.
Lobster Crab Soup
This was a decent soup. There was a sufficient (given the price) lobster flavor to the soup. However, no chunks or bits to the soup. Bits of real lobster or crab would've been nice. However, the soup has a generic, created-from-powder-flavors feel about it.
Cliff notes: (1) Great Italian Roast Beef wrap. (2) Nice soup; however, I would not buy it again. -

I love LOVE the prune hamantaschen at EuroPan cafe! I was in the mood for an iced latte and prune hamantaschen.
I walk into the store and I'm looking at the linzer tarts and behind the raspberry tarts I notice 2 or 3 tarts with a brown filling.
What flavor is that tart I ask?
Hazelnut.
Hazelnut? Well well well said the wolf before he huffed and puffed and ate this friggin thing in two bites. The hazelnut cream was thick and tasty!

This is a true bakery with lots of options of baked goodies and sweets. After dinner at nearby Bella Vita with my very honorable work husband, we opt for EuroPan Cafe for sweets and tea. The cakes are very tasty, as well as their crossiants, buns, and other sweets. The teas are made with piping fresh hot water. We both had Cannolis which were filling, yet hits the spot after a nice relaxing dinner outside the workplace.
There is a long line at the check-out counter as it's human only to desire sweets, why not have the cake and eat it too? -

I stayed in NY for four days recently, and stopped by this place twice - which I think is a testament to the good treats you can find here, especially given that four days in NY is not nearly enough time to eat all the good food there is. This cafe is very conveniently located downstairs of the Westin in Times Square, and has friendly staff and a large selection of sandwiches, breakfasts, breakfast pastries, and pastries/cookies in general.
My friends and I stopped in on one day and ordered coffee and a croissant, and a cigarillo. The coffee was very hot, too hot to drink it was so scalding. But the cigarillo, with both ends dipped in thick chocolate and deliciously flaky inside, was a hit with me. On the second day we stopped in and ordered a pound of assorted cookies. The cookies were not as delicious, but my favorites from that selection includes the leaf shaped cookie sandwich with a berry filling and dipped in chocolate, the crispy oatmeal raisin mini cookie, the chocolate chip cookie, and the fudge cookie. The sesame crisps are not bad as well. -

Okay, I get it! NYC is overpriced. But this place...WOW! It's like I went to EUROpe in 2008 and was suckered into buying perishables at a horrible exchange rate. A salad, fruit cup and bottle of water set me back $20. $20 for food that should have cost $12.00 is pretty annoying but even more so when my salad order was not correct.
In my attempt to interpret a Greek salad, I ordered several ingredients. However, upon returning to my home...I mean my desk...I realized I had lettuce with olives and garbanzo beans, sprinkled with Feta. I'm not sure if I was charged for the missing ingredients but it was very disappointing to look forward to the one good thing during the work day, only to have my hopes and dreams dashed...*sigh*
I am giving this place two stars for the fresh ingredients, but my advice is to check your overpriced salad before you leave the establishment! -

My friend and I decided to wake up around 4 am so we could stalk some celebrities in Central Park. We needed some fuel, and that early in the morning, we didn't have a lot of options so we made a b-line to EuroPan.
The glass displays were lined with delicious desserts and tarts but because it was so early in the morning, we settled for plain old eggs and toast with coffee. For what we ordered and the price I give it 3 stars. It wasn't overwhelmingly good, but it did satisfy. Next time I'll be sure to try out all the other items they have to offer. -

I stayed in West Midtown with my family for a week before I moved into college, and my sister and I grew to looove Europan. The set-up was really confusing at first, because depending on what you want you have to seek out the guys in back to tell them what you'd like, and there are different counters to order different things. Once you've ordered then you just go to the register and pay for it and wait for your food.
I never tried the pizza or anything for breakfast, but I can definitely say that their paninis are amazing! I really enjoyed the Monte Cristo (turkey, ham, american cheese, provolone, plus lots of other stuff), but hands-down my favorite was the Chicken Club! Chicken salad with plum tomatoes and melted brie. Plus the paninis are perfectly toasted. The only one that I tried that I wasn't really crazy about was the Chicken Parmigiana.
Otherwise the people are pretty nice, especially the guy at the sandwich counter. Oh, and their desserts looked sooooo amazing, and there's a whole lot to choose from. :) -

We went to this place because it so happened to be across the street of where we were staying in Time Square and it was OK. The food wasn't spectacular but it wasn't bad. It's exactly what you would expect of a mediocre diner. I had the French Toast and it was just ok.

I stayed at the Westin Times Square recently for work, and this bakery is at the bottom of the property. Granted, I'm humongously pregnant and anything sweet is going to look and taste fabulous, but the dessert selection in this store was what drew me in. I had the most fabulous piece of Oreo cheesecake and a decaf latte (for dinner, LOL) - it was fabulous! Yes, it was pricey, but it was also HUGE and filled me up. If you're in the area and craving a nosh, I definitely recommend popping by for a sweet snack.

wow. a place that makes fruit shakes. with only one fruit.
i'm not a fan of fruit shake combos. like. strawberry-peach. or mango-orange. can't i have just a strawberry shake?
YOU CAN HERE!
yay!
i shouldn't have been eating anyway, but i had that, which was good and the fruit tasted fresh, but the shake could have used a dash of sugar or a shot of hazelnut just to give it a kick.
i also tried a fresh fruit tart, because i absolutely adore kiwi. a little too much custard for my liking, but the fruit was great. good crust too.
good pastries. just a little pricey.Listed in: life is uncertain. eat dessert…

The location was so convenient for us, it was a block away from our hotel. We came here twice for breakfast, its fast, cheap, and easy. The food is fresh, huge selection, and the bakery stuff looked delicious. The coffee however, was not freshly brewed so I took 1 star for that. But no worries, Starbucks is just 2 doors down!

I came here with the guys for a quick bite of dessert the other night. We shared some chocolate-covered strawberries and a slice of what seemed to be an Oreo cake. It was all just okay, but maybe I've been spoiled by Ghirardelli out in SF or Godiva chocolates whenever I am in Emeryville - a good dessert usually makes me want to cream my pants, and in this case I don't think I was even remotely aroused in any sensory context. I'll stick to desserts at a restaurant... or the coffee at Dunkin Donuts.

This place was incredibly disappointing. We came in around 10:30 am for brunch on a Saturday morning and found the place in complete chaos. The same two people who were cooking the food were also taking orders, putting trays together, and ringing up the orders. The food was sloppily thrown together with no taste. We ordered crepes with banana and strawberry; the strawberries were coated in corn syrup and the crepes were rubbery and totally disgusting. We also ordered a Belgian waffle which was also soggy and came in several places, and an egg white omelet with vegetables and potatoes, which were mushy and tasteless. It was an unbelievable disappointment--it was as if the food were prepared by people who had never cooked a meal in their lives. I could not have imagined a worse meal.

good solid place. Very tasty and great choice of breakfast. The coffee is good but really hot. If you are more for the European style breakfast it is a great choice for the area.
