Stopped by for a quick coffee and cake on a wintry Sunday night. The lady behind the counter was very nice. Ordered coffee, pretty good and a slice of strawberry cheesecake which was very good as most of the cheesecakes around town always taste the same but this was much better.
Very comfortable to sit by the window and watch NY go by.
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 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!
(Homer Simpson impression) mmmmm.. hazelnut ..
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.
Stopped in here for lunch with friends and upon walking in the first thing you see is a counter displayed with sandwiches, paninis, etc. Which look pretty good, but what really grabbed my attention was the counter to the right, stacked full of cookies, cheesecakes, éclairs, tiramisu, cannolis, puddings, and so much more. I was in awe! Food was great, but I'm giving it four stars because I was very disappointed with the coffee, by far the worst coffee I've tried in NYC, so I'd recommend just grabbing one of the bottle beverages they offer, other than that great place, definitely one to check out when craving something sweet.
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!
*Riverdancing again*
* Visit this place for a quick snack on delightful pastries, sandwiches and black coffee.
* Decently priced stuff.
* Touristy spot.
* Pretty good seating space
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.
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!
TWO words: prune hamantaschen. They're probably not too rare to find over here, but back home there's nowhere to get them and I just gotta hope hope that once a year dear mum bakes some. So they're still not as good as mom makes but beggars can't be choosers, you know!
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.
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.
This is my favorite place to go when I'm in the theater distract to catch a Broadway show. The first time my friend and I discovered it, we had lunch before a matinee. However, it was so good and the desserts looked so tempting that we wiled
My food was ok, at best. They forgot my wife's order completely. I had to get on their case to get it at a reasonable pace. Also, their Black and White cookie was just plain bad.
Close to the Westin Times Square, EuroPan saved me from hotel food when I suffered the hunger pangs of an empty stomach in the morning and the inebriation of the late night.
I hadn't eaten here for lunch but always stopped by for a midnight snack. I remember seeing a good sized variety of sweets to satisfy your sweet tooth, while salivating. I've gotten anywhere from their chocolate pudding to their assortment of cakes that were always so delectable.
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.
Great food for a great price. We were on a strict time (and money) budget, and this place was fantastic. We had a panini and it was great. My regrets: that I didn't get a fresh tossed salad (cuz they looked tasty and fresh) and I didn't have some baked goods (too full....but OMG they looked so amazing).
Good place to get a bite to eat pre theatre. They have salads & wraps in addition to the bakery.
Not the best food, but it always looks fresh and nice. Good for dessert
I must admit that I can only judge this place based on desserts. One tidbit of advice: GET THE TIRAMISU NOW! I also observed others deep in love with their Oreo cheesecake and Italian cookies. But, really, get the tiramisu. It's the best I've had.
Ditto, Brian
