Mom's European Food & Deli — Local services in Soap Lake

I'm not entirely sure how to review my experience here. On one hand, this is a unique and interesting little store in a rural location that is wonderfully unexpected.

We selected a few items and as we approached the counter the two people you watched us as we came in had disappeared and we waited an additional 5 minutes for them to return to check us out.

Not a pleasabt experience from this younger woman. The older woman here is more...

Great hot food. I came here almost every day for the chicken dumplings. This shop is mostly sweets, a few Eastern European grocery items, and hot deli food. Service is lacking but if you expected anything more that's kind of on you. The older woman didn't speak a lot of English but was very sweet, the younger woman spoke more but was a little less warm. I can understand why some people in these reviews seem put off by that, but personally I will come back when I'm in town. Something I noticed was the deli is housed in an old bank. The old vault can be seen behind some dividers immediately to the right when walking in and is used for storage from what...
