While a plethora of coffee shops and bakeries exist in the area, Cafe Europa is a great place to cozy up at your own table for hours without the constant stream of noisy students and gossipy women. The panini sandwiches mark the restaurant, as the bakery does seem a bit scarce in selection sometimes (depending on the time of day, day of the week, etc). But the sandwiches and soups are light, tasty treats. The decor can be improved a bit-- the last time I was at the restaurant it was February and the Christmas tree was still up!
Otherwise, this is a great little spot and if you find yourself alone in the restaurant for hours, all the better! Great place to read/study while enjoying coffee and a French movie (tv placed cutely in the wall).
