I discovered Daily European thanks to a recommendation from a friendâand let me tell you, it truly is a hidden gem. The store itself is small, but donât let the size fool youâitâs full of treasures, especially if youâre someone who misses the flavors of Eastern Europe.
If youâre a fan of unique drinks, youâll find favorites like kvass and Borjomi mineral water. I was especially thrilled to find buckwheat, Nijin-brand pickles, andâmy absolute favoriteâchocolate-covered glazed cheese bars (the Voloshkove Pole brand nearly brought tears to my eyes when I saw them on the shelf!). These are the kinds of things that instantly bring back memories.
Another highlight is their house-made products. My personal favorite is the Napoleon cake. Sometimes itâs a bit drier, sometimes more moistâIâm a fan of the moist version, and when it hits just right, itâs perfect. My friend loves their salads, syrnyky (cheese pancakes), and borschtâso I can confidently recommend those as well.
If youâre missing familiar Eastern European pharmacy-style products, youâll be happy to know you can find many of those here too.
The first time I visited, we were helped by an incredibly kind woman who gave us lots of tips and recommendationsâour experience was flawless. Unfortunately, on a more recent visit, I had a less pleasant interaction at checkout. I was buying my favorite chocolate cheese bars, and the cashier said, âWell, you picked the itemâitâs hard for me to scan.â As a paying customer, I really donât think I should be made to feel guilty for buying something just because itâs difficult for someone to scan. That comment was completely inappropriate, and I sincerely hope the management takes this kind of feedback seriously. Customers come to spend money, not to be criticized for their choices.
Despite that one moment, my overall experience with Daily European has been overwhelmingly positive. The products are fresh, tasty, and the expiration dates are always in checkâwhich is especially important, because in similar stores Iâve sometimes seen expired goods still on the shelves. But here, everything appears well-maintained and carefully curated.
So yesâI absolutely recommend this store. Whether youâre craving a taste of home or just curious to explore something different, youâll find something...
   Read moreAs far as the food and atmosphere go. I really enjoy both. There are things I have have before but had not seen in a long time that they carry. And they have some delicious Russian drinks. Some of the chocolates are excellent and there are a lot of things that I have tried that I love. The people there don't really speak English but that's to be expected. I actually enjoy going in and learning one or two words or names of things.
I read some of the other reviews that gave this place bad reviews. But a few were for dumb reasons. I'm American I understand. But things like they speak Russian in a place that sells a lot of Russian goods and the customer service was lacking because there wasn't much of a greeting even at checkout.
All I have to say is go travel. Even in Britain there's a lack of customer service like we have here. It's a cultural difference. You're going to a store that sells goods from another country and a lot of those people who immigrated here from there, I'm sure enjoy the fact that they speak their native tongues there. Stop being such snobs. But it is in East Cobb so...
