Balboa Perk European Coffeehouse
Set in the kind of living room you’d read about in a Hercule Poirot mystery. Curved sofas, carved tables, shelves stuffed with old books, giant mirrors with gold frames, green walls, black and white tile floor, ancient wicker hampers, somebody singing “Breathe in the air tonight,” a little freezer loaded with Italian gelato, a snack shelf loaded with Toblerone chocolate bars, Turkish Delight, Nutella, and strangely named items such as Jaffa Cakes, Honey Hearts... plus a few in the Cyrillic alphabet.
Specialty food items include a shallow pie with golden, flaky pastry, burek, with spinach and cheese, a Serbian favorite. They also do Panini, with Italian salami ($6) or with Serbian pršuta (think prosciutto) ham ($7). The croissants ($4) are huge, flaky, and look really great for dipping in the exotic coffees.
