“It's a great place to get a quick bite to eat – at least it's quick for an early dinner…lunch I can imagine would be killer.”

I was in Manhattan with a friend just for the day to see a show and spend the afternoon at MoMA. We needed sustenance and figured we would find something decent somewhere in between the museum and the theater. By the time our hunger pangs got the better of us, we spotted this place on the corner. We were looking for something we both like (a challenge) and that didn't cost an arm and a leg and a first born child. This fit the bill. Decently priced and you can build your own salad/pasta/what have you.
I put together a delicious salad which turned out to be exactly what I wanted. My friend enjoyed her pasta creation. I also treated myself to some tiramisu, which was not spectacular…but whatever.
Filling, fairly priced, and the ingredients I encountered were fresh and delicious.
Fast, good lunch choice. Really wide selection of vegetarian food and sandwiches on the healthy side. Get the soups !! My go to lunch place when i am in the area and need something quick.
I came in looking for delicious, European crepes. What I got was decent, ordinary crepes.
I got the strawberry, banana, nutella crepe. It was cold when it got to the table—negative. It was small—negative. It was not proportioned with an inadequate amount of nutella—negative. Overpriced for a bunch of negatives. I don't recommend going.
Something to keep in mind…if you're coming in for a crepe, order at the counter. It's about $1 cheaper.
We've eaten here multiple times for breakfast. Based upon today only, it would have been 3 stars, but all of the other times, 4 star experience.
There is always quick service here and a fast turn around. Today, coffee and service was 5 star. All of the egg dishes were overcooked. Omelets and egg sandwiches don't have to be browned to be cooked through. Also, potatoes were a bit greasy, less crisp, and less flavorful than usual.
Still planning on breakfast here again next year when we are in the area, but if that hasn't picked up, there are definitely multiple other options in the area.
Stopped in for breakfast while walking around Manhattan. Had planned on going to Le Pain Quotidien, but have been to their restaurants before in LA and London so tried something new.
Europa has a nice ambience, very European, with tables and a counter.
I ordered the Gotham combination which was scrambled eggs, sausage (or ham or bacon), potatoes, a bagel, coffee and OJ — all for under $13. Great deal and the food was solid, nothing spectacular but the regular scrambled eggs staple. I sat at the window and watched a nice New York day. Service was good. Nothing outstanding but a good option.
Kicked off my trip to NYC with breakfast at Europa Cafe! My husband, brother, brother's girlfriend, and I stopped in for breakfast after checking into our hotels…drawn in primarily by the convenience and the signs in the window advertising crepes. Having just returned from my honeymoon in Paris, I didn't necessarily expect the crepes to match up, but I had the nostalgia and the craving so I was all for it!
The crepes were nothing special, but were decent…my spinach and feta crepe definitely satisfied the itch, and I liked the olive tapenade spread on top. We ordered the nutella, strawberry, and banana crepe to split for dessert, and that was obviously yummy. Service was friendly and quick, and the place was busy and energetic.
Over my next few days in NYC, I saw probably half a dozen other Europa Cafes throughout the city. Seems to be a quick, convenient, reliable option!
Lines are shorter than the Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts further down 7th Avenue. The place is clean and fairly efficient.
I've only come for coffee so can't comment on the food.
There aren't enough napkins near the sugar and things when you're fixing your coffee.
My husband and I went here on a whim due to our other breakfast locations that I had bookmarked were not open due to the weekend. I ordered the breakfast special number 3. The bun consumed my whole meal and I was like where is the meat and egg? My husband liked his omelet (number 2) so i can give this 2 stars. We ordered a dessert to share and it looked better than it tasted. That is a common theme in Europe, especially German. Maybe I should of got the delicious looking cupcake? Serious they had a cookie dough cupcake!!
