A Touch of European, Glendale AZ

A Touch of European was highly recommended to us by two people once we made it to the festival grounds. Everyone was busy setting up, rental companies driving in with huge trucks, sound systems being erected, vendors bustling and of course the artists setting up their installations. Kio and I were dazed, a bit stressed and hungry so we walked over to 7146 N 57th Drive, Glendale AZ 85301, 623-847-7119 and walked up to the cafe. What sweet surroundings. The locals call themselves Maeberry. It's just one small cottage shop after another. A Touch of European is run by a Polish couple but on that day, we only saw the wife. She was tough and sarcastic which was a weired way to be introduced to food in Glendale AZ. In the end, she was a lot more attentive and helpful but it never got friendly. The pirogi was perhaps the best Kio and I ever had. i could eat just those and be really happy. We ordered the sausage sandwich (kielbasa) and the mozzarella sandwich. Both were delicious. i was blown away by the sauerkraut. It was so fresh and not heavy. This must be the real thing. Not the stuff from the can I grew up with.
