This place is so cute! I got the very popular marble rye bread and some other desserts for my daughter. If you go, go early. They sell out fast of all their delicious baked good. We ate here as well. Our server was very friendly and nice. I wish I got his name. So could add to my review. It was extremely busy , but he was very attentive. If visiting owen sound you should def check out and get the marble. All I think about is that ep of Seinfeld when everyone is fighting over the marble Rye bread. If you come her and get it. You ll know why. Its really good

Absolutely exceptional staff and service. I just had my first full breakfast experience and it was delicious! I didn't realize how many bread options there were for toast... Ask your server for the full list! I had the cheese toast but sunflower also sounded very exciting. I typically visit for a latte and a pastry. I've tried most of the sweet and meatless savoury pastries and I have enjoyed all of them. Special mention to the spinach and cheese pastry though.

The European Bakery Cafe catered my wedding last Saturday and they did a wonderful job.We ordered multiple Hors d'oeuvres and they all tasted great and the staff was friendly! When it was time to cut the cake they set it up really nicely and made sure I was happy with the placements of the food! Thank you! I definitely recommend!
