Questions and answers
What types of European groceries do you carry?
We stock imported groceries from across Europe with a focus on Eastern European and Turkish foods — deli meats and sausages, cheeses and cultured dairy, rye bread, piroshki and pastries, chocolates and candies, pickles and preserves, pantry staples like buckwheat and sunflower oil, smoked fish, frozen dumplings, and European beverages. Selection varies with each shipment.
Do you carry Eastern European products?
Yes — Eastern European foods are the heart of the store, alongside Turkish, Bulgarian, and other regional specialties. If you grew up with these flavors, you'll recognize the shelves.
Do you sell European deli meats and cheeses?
Yes. Our deli counter carries European cured and smoked meats and a range of cheeses. Stop by and ask what's freshest, or call ahead to check on a favorite.
Do you carry piroshki?
Piroshki are one of our most-loved items — delivered fresh from a Bay Area bakery. They can sell out, so call ahead if you're making a special trip.
Do you carry European pastries and sweets?
Yes — European pastries, wafer cakes, imported chocolates, and a wall of wrapped candies sold by the piece and by the box.
