Wow, what an incredible breakfast at The European Bakery Café at 806 16th St E in Owen Sound! 🍵🥐 I was absolutely famished when we arrived, and the irresistible scent of freshly baked goods and brewing coffee drew me right into this charming, cozy café. The vibe is so warm and inviting, with eclectic decor that feels like a cozy European kitchen. 😊 I ordered the vegetarian omelette, and it was a total game-changer! 🥚🌱 Packed with fresh, vibrant veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and spinach, it was fluffy, perfectly seasoned, and served with their house-baked multigrain toast that was out-of-this-world delicious. The toast had this amazing crusty exterior and soft, flavorful center. For dessert, I indulged in their date cake—moist, subtly sweet, and bursting with rich, caramel-like flavor. 🍰 Paired with a cappuccino made from their organic, fair-trade coffee, it was pure bliss—frothy, bold, and the perfect balance of creamy and strong. ☕ I was so hungry I dove right in and forgot to take good photos—sorry for the blurry, half-eaten plate pics! 📸😅 The service was outstanding, with friendly staff who kept our table happy and our drinks topped up. 🌟 They even offer a separate gluten-free menu, which is awesome for dietary needs. The prices are so reasonable for the generous portions and top-notch quality. This place is a true gem in Owen Sound—kid-friendly, with a lovely patio for sunny days. I grabbed a loaf of their black and white rye to take home, and it’s honestly some of the best bread I’ve ever had! 🍞 The European Bakery Café is a must-visit for a hearty, flavorful vegetarian breakfast and divine baked goods. 💖 I’m already dreaming of my next visit! Highly recommend this spot for a meal that warms the heart and soul. 🌈

On a snowy January morning, I came here on the recommendation of a complete stranger. I am so glad I did. I was able to order eggs Benedict with a side of corn fries absolutely perfect. I was also able to get gluten-free toast. That is quite good with a gluten-free brownie. It is not A gluten-free bakery, but they have a nice selection. The regular baked goods look amazing!
