We are from out of town and tried this place for breakfast. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was very well cooked and tasted wonderful. If we are ever in this area again we would definitely stop by again.

The true Amsterdam diner.Stopped in for breakfast after the 4th of July, luckily the crowd wasn't overwhelming. Do note that this establishment only accepts cash, or if the sign on the door is to be believed, and Apple Pay. They do have an ATM on site in case you forget this and fail to read the sign, but it does help weed out the randos who want to just waltz in.Ordered the Belgian Waffle with fruit and whipped cream, two eggs with bacon, and a decaf coffee. Took about five minutes and my meal was out. The waffle looked fantastic, lots of fresh fruit, a small round of butter, several dollops of whipped cream and my own jar of syrup. The eggs were cooked just right, not burnt even a tiny bit, and the bacon was very interesting. Unlike your regular straight bacon you may be served, it was more of a birds nest of bacon. Crispy on the outside with just a tiny bit of a chewy center, and the flavor was phenomenal. Wonderfully fatty, but not greasy.My total only came to a bit over 16, which is a pretty gosh darn good price for my meal.The service was very good, with my waitress checking in on me regularly to make sure I had everything I needed and was enjoying my meal. I sat at the bar which added an even more authentic diner feel to this cafe, though they had plenty of tables and booths open.I could absolutely see myself coming back here in the future on another day off, as their breakfast menu had plenty of other options to pick from.

What a perfect little diner. Exactly what I want from an independent small place. I ordered eggs over easy and a side of corned beef hash. The waitress immediately asked if I wanted the eggs on top of the hash. Well, of course! But nobody ever asks that and it was awesome. Hot sauce, ketchup, and jelly we're already on the table so no need to ask. Coffee was fresh and delicious and refilled often. Everything was done quickly and perfectly. I had never been here before but I will definitely be back.

Fun little cafe. My wife and I were greeted by a cute cat when we got off our car. We ordered hungry man’s breakfast to share. Food was good, service was good. And there were little fun things here and there.

I had the pleasure of being a guest here for breakfast today. Oh my, what an amazing experience from my first step inside. I was greeted so warmly it was like I was part of a family. Everything i ordered was excellent. The bacon was so perfectly cooked that I had to ask how it was prepared. The secret was shared with me, which I won't divulge. At the end of my visit and after asking for my bill, the owner came over and said, " Every day I do one pay it forward, your bill is on me." Never in my 65 years on this earth has this happened. I was so moved by this gesture that all the way home, I was planning how I would now pay this forward.

I just had breakfast here for the very first time. I will say at first I was slightly put off because it seemed my server had forgotten my coffee, which she did. Then our food was taking a bit long, but our server continually checked in and made sure we were aware she was on top of it. Once it came out, the food was delicious. I had steak and eggs, and my partner had the eastern omelette. Both were delicious. As I was waiting for the check out server came over and told us she was actually the owner, and sometimes she likes to “pay it forward” and she had taken care of our check. I was so taken aback, I didn’t know people still did kind things like this. I begged her to charge me a dollar so I could leave her a tip, and she wouldn’t hear of it. I know this might seem small to some but this level of kindness and generosity is lacking now a days in most. I highly recommend coming to The Europa Cafe. You will not be disappointed!

This is a nice diner to stop in on for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. I stopped on a weekday so I am not sure how long a wait might be on a Saturday morning. The menu has a wide variety that should suit most diners and the food is very good.
