Cafe Europa is such a delight! There’s such a small amount of Eastern European food in the city so I was so happy to find this gem. It felt like elevated home cooking in the best way possible. We even ordered more pierogies at the end because they were THAT good. I can’t recommend this spot enough, we had a blast. They even had a variety of Eastern European beers that paired so well with the meal. See you again soon Cafe Europa!

At July 2025 when I was visiting, I came into this cafe and ordered two dishes. The foods cost $33, plus 8.625% tax in San Francisco and 15% tips I clicked on the screen, the total should be $41. Yet I came to realized much later that they charged me $45.59!
At that time, the bill was handwritten for me to check, and when I put down the credit card, a staff came with a POS machine. I clicked 15%, signed, and saw the total charge went to $43.xx, so I checked the handwritern bill again and realized the staff made a mistake (the total of the pre-tax food items should be $33 and but she wrote $35). I pointed it out, the staff apologized, and gave me $2 cash.
So far everything should be fine, an honest mistake and the staff was very nice about it. However, this does not explain why my credicard was eventually charged $45 instead of the $43 I signed for.
Were there uncommon charges in San Francisco, and is it allowed that the resterant owner to not inform customer about it & not showed them in the final amount (after tax and tip) on the bill?

I’d like to point out that this café has a very attentive owner, Alex, who is present at the establishment and genuinely cares whether guests are satisfied. The staff is very polite, the prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend it, especially for those who enjoy European cuisine!

The service was exceptional and the gentleman serving us made us feel welcomed and taken care of—attentive without being intrusive.
The food was simply outstanding.
So glad we found this spot because it delivers on all fronts. By far the best dining experience I’ve had in San Francisco. Highly recommended.

Good schnitzel. I would have given this place higher marks. But there was a problem with my order, and they handled it very poorly. The menu says the dish I ordered came with sauerkraut. I asked the server if it was served raw, and he said yes it was. When they delivered the dish, the sauerkraut had been cooked. When I pointed this out, he apologized says it was a “miscommunication.” But then he refused to bring me the raw sauerkraut that I asked for, saying they “would not do substitutions”. He only agreed to bring me the raw sauerkraut I requested if I ordered it as an separate side dish (i.e. pay extra). I relented. But this business practice is so poor, that my friend and I both agreed that we would never come back here again.

We were working in San Jose and decided to visit San Fran one night after work. Neither of us have ever been. I did a ton of wading through a ton of fantastic looking food options before I decided on Cafe Europa. I was excited about the menu options and was not disappointed! The food was so very good! My bf said the salmon was one of the best he’s ever had, and he tends to order salmon frequently. The atmosphere was very intimate and a lovely setting. We got to chat with the owner for a good bit of time and enjoyed the convo and getting to know a little more about the area from him. We were full but desperately wanted to try some of the dessert so we ordered to go. Absolutely delicious!! If I ever make it back to the area I’ll be very torn between trying a new place or going back to Cafe Europa!
Отлично! Спасибо!

Super nice service and good food. Nice vibes with the chill music too. My favorites were the potato pancakes (with both sour cream and mushroom sauce) and the cream of mushroom soup. But everything else we got was quite good as well.

We were the first persons in last Sunday. The gentleman who ran the place was very friendly and warm, offering suggestions and let us know what was just finished in the kitchen (Stroganoff and a pork dish).
Fun Euro music in the background.
We had Sweet cheese Pierogies, Beef Stroganoff, Cabbage Roll with Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Sauce, and Silesian Potato Dumplings in Mushroom Sauce.
Good food on a sunny afternoon. We’d go back again.
