European Bakery and Cafe — Best Food and Dining in Glendale, AZ

This family-owned bakery, from Armenian natives David and Rose Kouyoumjian, may have a West Valley address, but thanks to pastries from France, Armenia, Poland, Germany, Italy, and Hungary, the scene's a sweetly international one. When the Kouyoumjians aren't busy filling bakery cases with a colorful display of delicate tiered cakes, fruit-filled strudels, and cookies, they're making loaves of fresh bread or packing premium imported cheeses freshly prepared and sliced to order along with meats and veggies into massive sandwiches that won't leave customers from any country going home hungry.
