The café features an array of menu choices that highlight its Mediterranean roots, particularly its renowned gyros.

One of the standout dishes you cannot miss is the Beef Gyro in Pita: tender, marinated beef wrapped in a warm pita, bursting with flavor and served alongside fresh vegetables.

Customer reviews reflect this delightful experience. Brian Webster praises the café as "fantastic" and raves about the "lovely cappuccino" and hearty dishes he observed. Jesse Germain shares a similar sentiment, noting not just the unique coffee offerings but also how Cafe Europa quickly won them over with its hospitality and delicious gyros. Louisa highlights the café's commitment to offering healthy, organic food, which is a rarity in the area.

However, be aware that Cafe Europa is a popular destination! With only 7 or 8 tables available, it's wise to call ahead to secure your spot. As Josh Melillo reflects, the café's consistently superb food and the owner's dedication to his customers ensure a satisfying dining experience every time.

Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, enjoying a leisurely meal, or looking for a cozy spot to share with friends, Cafe Europa provides a little slice of Mediterranean joy right in the heart of Oakville. Don't miss out on this hidden gem—your taste buds will thank you!

Fantastic cafe right in the heart of Oakville! I got a lovely cappuccino, which was very good, and saw plenty of hearty dishes being circulated. Can't wait to come again and try more selections.

Tony is an awesome chef, he personally greets everyone who comes in. He made me an Americano which was delicious, and the Beef Gyro I highly recommend along with the Hummus appetizer. There's only about 7 or 8 tables here so I would definitely call ahead, Tony also takes orders for takeout.

Our first visit to this place started as a curiosity. But having met Tony and letting him give us a quick tour of this quaint little place by the Oakville theater, we quickly discovered we'd love the place. I had my first Siphoned coffee, chemex and Turkish coffees here and all were individually delicious. Went to the grand opening to try the gyros and was hard pressed (no coffee pun intended) not to have another. Been recommending to friends, family and strangers.

I’ve had the food from Cafe Europa maybe about 4 or 5 times, and I’ve never been disappointed. Falafel is superb and the hummus is also great. Tony also threw in a little bit more food, for the mistake of using the wrong olives. Tony is also a very nice person, and will never leave you dissatisfied.

It’s challenging enough finding organic food. Cafe Europa dishes up delicious choices and the co-owner couldn’t be nicer. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much for offering such healthy options!
