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 have only ever been here for breakfast however, if we're in town, we always stop here for breakfast. I can't say for sure which one is more amazing. The food or the staff. Whenever we come, the place is always packed. You can tell it's full of regulars, very good sign. And if we have to wait we are more than willing to wait. It's that good.

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.

I just wasn't all that impressed. I've lived here all of my life, but have never until recently, visited Europa. I don't really know why - I guess I just never felt an attraction to the place. But my party suggested it, and partially because of the reviews, I agreed to go here. Just average - the food, the service, the atmosphere. Actually, in my opinion, and comparing it to other places I have been, their breakfast plates are a bit skimpy. If you want a full blown, well stacked plate for breakfast, with originality to boot, head down to Scotia Diner on Mohawk Ave. Absolutely cannot be beat.

Having visited numerous diners across the Northeast, from bustling urban centers to quaint towns, I can confidently say that Europa Cafe stands out as the best of them all.
Europa Cafe offers an unbeatable value, with full-course meals ranging from $10-$20. Imagine a plate loaded with pancakes or French toast, bacon, eggs, sausage, toast, and hashbrowns—all made from top-quality ingredients. The food is not just abundant but exceptional in quality. Even more impressive is the service speed: from placing my order to receiving my plate takes less than 10 minutes.
The heart of Europa Cafe is its extraordinary staff, led by the incomparable Owner and Queen of Kindness, Cindy. Her warmth, kindness, and respect set the tone for the entire team. They genuinely care about their customers, remembering names, regular orders, and even personal details. This level of personal attention creates a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that is rare in the dining industry.
It's not just the staff that makes Europa Cafe special; it's the patrons too. The sense of community is palpable, with everyone knowing and respecting each other, making every visit a joy.
My only regret is that I can't eat more of their delicious food in one sitting. If you've ever passed by or had a less-than-perfect experience in the past, I urge you to give Europa Cafe another try. This diner truly deserves five stars.
Kudos to Cindy, Nicole, the cooks, and the entire team at Europa Cafe for creating such a remarkable dining experience.

Found this Gem of a restaurant while on a road trip. Love to support local businesses and this restaurant did not disappoint! From the initial warm greeting, prompt and very friendly server -to the delicious food. This place was wonderful. Priced very well, food was delicious, hot and large portions. We also met the owner who was greeting all of the customers and making sure everything was good. I would definitely recommend Europa Cafe.

The staff were lovely and attentive.The food was less so. The food was hot. Fries are a coated product. What happened to just deep frying some potatoes. The open faced sandwich was made with deli sandwich roast beef slices and placed on what looked and tasted like Wonderbread. The gravy was a sticky, congealed mess that was clearly not made in house, and did not taste good.I know that many restaurants use premade packages products. Why bother. You end up with an unappetizing end product. Make your menu smaller and stick with fresh food made to order. It will just taste better and make your customers come back.As I said, lovely staff. Unappetizing food.

First time eating here the other day, I heard very unprofessional things about the woman whom owns the café and the food quality from many people of different age's ,cultures and backgrounds. I chose to give it a try and develop my own opinion. The owner was astonishingly rude to my party and I (reminiscent of the soup guy from the show “Seinfeld”) after addressing that they had forgot two main parts of my meal they asked me if I still wanted them after I’ve already paid (of course?), respectfully the food was flavorless, not made well and some items textured like reheated leftovers from the day prior the pancakes like rubber, my husbands home fries burnt to a chard shriveled to a moist crisp (not edible). Environment and staff were not welcoming to newcomers but the atmosphere was decent and clean this is definitely a senior citizen regular spot for coffees. We won’t be returning. The best spot I’ve come across since moving to this area almost 10 years ago is called “The Mrs.Johnstown diner” The owner and her family are very kind, welcoming and pleasant. The food is always spectacular lightly seasoned her food is made promptly, service is consistently amazing and the environment is very fun we all frequent there often and will continue to do so, It’s unfortunate that Europa Café was exactly what the rumors I heard had claimed. It would have been nice to have something closer to home for breakfast classics and coffee as I do love to support local businesses but not at the cost of the unwelcoming rudeness ,lack of quality in the food and service and the entitlement this owner was serving.
