Fans of Asheville, NC may recognize the Old Europe name. The popular coffee and pastry shop opened in Asheville in 1994 and they carried quite a Greenville following. Planning a day trip in Asheville means a stop at Old Europe for me. And I know I’m not the only one. While Greenville’s Old Europe is under different ownership, staff originally from Asheville’s store run the Greenville location.

Old Europe Coffee and Pastries

You’ll find fantastic coffee and a wide variety of pastries at Old Europe. There were plenty of delicious options when I visited with my kids. My daughter stood by the case for at least 5 minutes before she could decide what she wanted!

We enjoyed coconut macaroons and rigo jancsi, the later of which I never knew existed. But the velvety smooth Hungarian chocolate moose layered over a spongy chocolate cake was every bit as good as it looked. Probably better than it looked. I almost went with one of the cheesecakes, which I’m sure would have been equally amazing, but I’m really happy I went with the Rigo Jancsi. It sure did go well with that coffee.

Breakfast, Mid-day Treat, or Late Night Snack

Old Europe is open at 8 am with a selection of breakfast pastries. Sunday and Thursday they close at 10 pm and Friday and Saturday they are open until midnight. Monday-Wednesday they close at 9 pm. There are not a lot of dessert spots in Greenville with late evening hours and I am super thrilled for the option of grabbing a late night snack at Old Europe! I love stopping by for dessert with my husband after dinner or a show at the Peace Center.

My kids didn’t want to sit at the table and have a long conversation over coffee and dessert like I might have enjoyed had I stopped at Old Europe with my husband. So after I finished my treat and coffee, we headed just a few blocks down Main Street to Falls Park. They finished their macaroons while watching the ducks at the falls, which was more their speed.

It’s such a nice treat to stop by Old Europe in Greenville!
