Good breakfast and ok desserts. I like their bread. Lunch is a no for me in terms of variety and cost. I do recommend their breads, especially their dark rye.

Had no idea that this was the main location to our other favourite breakfast/brunch spot! Quality ingredients, friendly staff and the best atmosphere for a delicious meal. Their breads are made in house, and jams locally sourced. Came with my dad for Father’s Day and had their eggs Benny, big breakfast, chai lattes, and carrot cake! Highly recommend this lovely place in the heart of Owen sound.

We had a lovely server named Olivia, she was SO sweet, very knowledgeable about the menu and gluten free options. My mom and I shared a gluten-free brownie which was amazing (they even served it in half for us with whipped cream)! The coffee was delicious and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Thank you Olivia and the rest of the team for the amazing service!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Came here for desserts but it was expensive for the butter tart and pastries' they offered. The pecan butter tart was super soft and gooey. It melted and leaked all of the box and my hands. I got the raisin as well and it was fine. Just very underwhelming for a butter tart, probably the worst I've had ever had.

fresh bread and bakery with delicious sandwiches, coffee, and pastries with a cozy coffee shop ambiance! the pecan danish is one of the best pastries ive had in years and the multigrain pan loaf bread is delicious. i had the BLT with the multigran, and the bacon was crispy and delicious. i also had their coffee of the day (caramel cream), which was an infused bean flavor (not syrup-based flavor) with almond milk and it was delicious! my boyfriend had the eggs benedict, which he enjoyed. the hollandaise was perfect and the home fries are delicious and very oniony, just the way i like it. the staff are also nice and the art inside is interesting.

Have visited this local favourite a few times in the last year during work trips to Owen Sound. The place is always packed , food is with a homely touch and quite scrumptious. Have tried various sandwiches, breakfast and soups, each has been flavourful, well prepared and delicious. It is a hidden gem, worth the visit , staff are always welcoming, friendly and polite. Service is excellent and prices are great. Some great choices are - Stan’s sandwich, Grilled cheese Jalapeno poppers, Monte Christo, Potato bacon soup, Omelette . They also have a great selection of coffees, fresh baked breads, cookies and pre-prepared dishes to take home for dinner

It was a cute place to have breakfast. The food tasted good but the presentation was not to my satisfactory. Mainly because of the cute decoration! I liked the ambiance very much. The staff were nice and the baker seemed delicious. They had a miniature of the store at the counter!

I ordered 16 dinner rolls from here and was told could pickup next day but when I went to pick the rolls no one could find them and was told no body knew anything about me ordering them, not impressed with service or the buns that they gave me and told me that was all they had, so I ended up with 8 round dinner rolls and 8 small buns.will not order from here next time.

Takeout pastries, coffee, and breakfast were delicious! The atmosphere was quaint and cozy, and the constant flow of people on a weekend suggests this is the place to be. Service was a little slow, seemingly due to a shortage of staff.

Hello EuropeanBakery: Yesterday, we had a reasonably good experience at your restaurant-bakery. The washrooms were clean, the quirky wall art was amusing, and our server was polite. I had the Andy Boy sandwich and I enjoyed it. My spouse ordered the Monte Cristo and got an unpleasant suprise. Yes, it was presented in an appealing manner but with syrup on the side. That was an odd side for a SAVOURY dish. As I understand a Monte Cristo, the bread is supposed to be dipped in an unsweetened egg mixture and then fried That wasn t the case. The kitchen used SWEETENED & VANILLA (and cinnamon!?)-infused French toast. That is NOT how the dish was described in the menu. My spouse didn t expect that odd flavour combination. I wanted to send the dish back to the kitchen. My spouse took the pseudo-Monte-Cristo apart and ate its pieces separately. Please clarify the dish s description on the menu. Tell patrons The European Bakery (Owen Sound) uses sweetened batter in its savoury Monte Cristo sandwich. Parking: 1-way parking path, quickly fills in. Park on street for a less-frustrating experience.

Tried this wonderful cafe for the first time and were treated to a wonderful sandwich (The Landon) and salad (Spinach strawberry). The meal was just great. Turkey on the sandwich was freshly sliced 1/4.thick from an in house roasted breast and dressed with spinach and Swiss cheese on fresh rye, then grilled a lap grilled cheese. Super tasty, hot, fresh. Salad was very generously garnished with lots of toppings and a choice of dressings. Service was fast and friendly. Could not ask for more. The atmosphere is fine for a lunch diner style place but fancy or splashy - good for a 4/5 but not the 5/5 their food and service achieved. Try them out Parking: We got a spot in their lot but it was the last one and the restaurant wasnt full so I could see it being a bit tough in peak times.

English breakfast with sourdough bread and a latte. Both were absolutely fantastic. Eggs were a nice deep and tasty yellow yoke, bacon fried to perfection and not overly greasy, vegetables beautifully fried but still had crunch and tomato cooked perfectly. Sourdough tasted like it was named same morning and healthy layer of delicious butter. Delicious strawberry jam with the last piece of toast and greet latte to wash it down. Absolutely splendid breakfast!

I placed 3 orders over the phone for lunch I stated that I had celiac disease, and 1 order is gluten free. My first order was fine, mysecond order the salad dressing was left out and my third order was gf. I got to the car there was bread crumbs all over the gf container. When I went to start eating I noticed mold on the tomatoes in my salad and moldy wilted lettuce. I called management waited about 30 mins with no call back. When I went into the location on the east side I spoke with management who had a bit of an attitude eproblem and than proceed to ask what she wanted me to do. The only reason she could give me was that it was busy and they didnt take time to check there food before giving it out. I have been here a few times with no issues. But today was absolute careless behavior. We also did not receive the cutlery. And than management refused to provide me with the dressing with the only reply of okay and. I would caution anyone doing an over the phone order cause apparently you have to double check everything. Honestly, I would caution anyone going here at all anymore their quality has gone down here especially when there busy seeing as they dont double check the food.

Ill go along with some of the lower star reviews on here. There is a lot of hype and praise over this place which I fine a little overrated. Coming from Europe, I wouldve thought European Bakery gives a European experience which was not the case. A lot of pre made, frozen goods, the waffles are dry and flavorless and cookies taste like cardboard.

December 22, 2023

Decided to try this place out based on reviews. Ended up sitting down for 20+ min with a hungry (cranky) baby, without even getting offered beverages. Yet, people that were coming in after us had service. If a server cant handle their section, they should be relieved of tables; plain and simple. I expected lead staff to recognize what was happening, (he was operating at max capacity).. i looked around, and to my surprise, there was nobody of authority to orchestrate a solution. Maybe the food is good, i cant comment on that.. however, the service and management are terrible. Especially at this price point. Needs immediate improvement. Somebodys sole duty should be overseeing service and keeping these guys organized. It looks like a free for all in there. No leadership anywhere in sight. Update: i would like to add that although the service was poor during this visit, the server remained professional whilst allowing me to voice my complaints. A+ for his gracefulness.

Was in today and had a seat on the patio. The service and food was nice, but the food I took to go was stale and funny-tasting when I had it later. Maybe the desserts (especially dairy-based) should be kept somewhere cool instead of just sitting out all day as you could make someone very sick.

We both had breakfast yesterday. The menu described the potatoes you could add to the meal and said they were extra special, not just your ordinary. When delivered to our table, they were soaked in grease and many pieces were burnt, looked so greasy and tasted the same. When I complained to our server she just stared at me and said ok. We fully expected her not to change for them but oh no, they were on our bill. I believe they were the end of the lot and they didn t want to make fresh. Don t advertise on the menu something you can t deliver. Server seemed rattled.

Great place generally, how good the food is depends on what you order. The menu is large, and they serve both breakfast and lunch, so there are lots of choices, and some of them are not very good. Id recommend sticking with classic breakfast items and not omelettes. If youre eating lunch, Id recommend getting a true sandwich and not a wrap. Bakery section is phenomenal! All the bread is baked fresh daily in house, and it tastes like it. Make sure you dont buy too much since fresh bread goes stale far faster than store bought bread.

This is our favourite brunch, breakfast and/or lunch spot as well as take-out sandwiches for the road. Everything has been excellent each time we have stopped in. Well worth the wait, as this place can be very busy. Our vegetable omelettes were well filled with vegetables. The best we have had yet. Heads up, homefries have garlic in them. Great for those who like garlic, not for those whom do not. Real jam, not packages of jam for our Toast. A delightful change. There is not comparison for the quality of the food. They even use beautiful cups and mugs for the coffee. They have been around for a while....and it stands out why. The staff were excellent in getting out food and taking our take-out order ready for us, and so that we did not need to hold up the front door. Vegetarian options: A number of Vegetarian options.

Quaint place. This was my first time there. Sandwich was fantastic. Dessert was meh. When we notified our waiter of an additional charge on our bill for a side salad we didnt order or receive, he handled it abruptly, ungraciously. Very odd. Ill give them another shot and hope for a different waiter.

European Bakery is a must stop for me everytime Im in Owen Sound. Im a creature of habit. I always get the Carrot Cake. Often with the soup of the day. But the Stans Mother sandwich is always hard to pass on.

We stopped by this place for the first time this morning for a couple of triple shot Americanos to go and they were just incredible. We were served by a very friendly barista and he 100% knew how to make expresso properly. Being new to the area we were starting to fear that decent coffee did not actually exist in Owen Sound. We will for sure be regulars now.

Standard breakfast - 2 eggs over easy, bacon, sourdough toast with home fries. Nice little bakery, seated quickly and order taken no problems. The potatoes were over spiced and the bacon was dusty crisp - no cream and sugar on the table. Overall a decent place but Mondays the better place across the street is closed so not a lot of choices where to eat.

Absolutely loved coming here. Food was great and service was great! We had 2 orders of Eggs Benedict, done on French toast rather than plain toast. We were charged close to $80 dollars for the two breakfasts- we were told they didnt know how to ring it through and so they put us as two benedict breakfasts and two french toast breakfasts (never had the bacon or fruit that would have come w the french toast breakfast) I work in a well established breakfast place myself where the same thing would have been about $22 per meal. Definitely ask your server about any large upcharges before you order. Felt completely ripped off.

We were traveling back home and looking for a place to eat. The tourist center recommended the European Bakery. The food was excellent. I had the Lando sandwich which I highly recommend and the potato bacon soup also highly recommended. The service was friendly and quick. The desert selection is which is mostly baked products is varied. Lots of squares and pastries. If driving thru Owen Sound make a point to stop. If you live there and havent been there, get your butt down there ASAP.

Hands down one of the best places for lunch! The Andy boy sandwich on cheese bread is one of my favourite sandwiches in the world (chicken, goat cheese and roasted red pepper). Literally mouth watering, the one thing I wish is that the bread was all made fresh! Also get the potato soup as a side it is amazing comfort food.

Small, crowded place. We walked in and opted for take-out as there was a line-up for seating. Once we ordered, it was about a 20-minute wait for the food. I had a BLT on cheese bread. It was good. There was plenty of bacon and toasted just right. I had a pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. It was good as well. It was not as good as my wifes pumpkin swirl cheesecake, but it was pretty good.

Want to try to add my positive review. My server Carla is helpful polite and very fast to serve myself and other guests. Very pleasant and new the menu. One of my guests asked about gluten free. Carla was able to suggest items from the menu. Thank you Carla a real gem! Food looks good on the plate and we enough for a lunch serving. I did focus on the floors and chairs which showed a lack of being cleaned.(Legs or chairs and tables) Also the ceiling fans blades are very dusty and dirty. At Entrance: door where the freezer fridge was open and the dirt by the side was in need of cleaning. Entrance is tight for seniors with walkers/canes. Less stuff and move the counter to the right back to increase easier access. I do enjoy the space and service and will return. Overall would recommend this local home town place. Ask for Carla, Im sure the other servers are equally great at their jobs. *Owner & manager-(Recommend a heavy clean) sit at the table as a clients and look around.

I ordered a wrap and I can t complain The rum ball in their pastry section is something I d go back for and their chai tea was so comforting all though wouldn t mind going easy on the sweetness of the chai tea latte. Loved the interior and exterior :) Staff were friendly too so extra points for that !!

When I travel I always support local businesses rather than the big chains. This place looks attractive, cozy and it seems they have a great choice of coffees and pastries. Unfortunately they only open at 8am, that s unfortunate when most people have breakfast earlier in the morning.
