Taste of Europe

The best store with Ukrainian and Russian products in the immediate area. Incredible prepared food department - everything is very tasty, fresh and homemade. The store has everything you need, everything you dream of. Nice and helpful staff. In addition to everything also gave a chocolate bar. Highly recommended!

I love Taste of Europe. They have high quality Eastern European foods both packaged, canned and fresh. If you love smoked fish like me this is the best place to get it. They have a full deli counter with smoked fish, caviar, Eastern European sausages, cheese, and an assortment of prepared dishes and pies (filled rolls). They have amazing cakes and chocolate as well. Here are pictures of their Russian Honey Cake and an assortment of their fresh made pies with poppy seed sweet rolls. If your looking for Eastern European foods or simply want to try some new food experiences, the Taste of Europe is the place to go

An amazingly stocked European themed local grocery store. They have well stocked walls of chocolates, perogies, dumplings, canned mushrooms, frozen fruits, ice cream, processed meats, and pastries (fresh and frozen). The staff are helpful although sometimes a little stern

Great selection, clean store, always polite and welcoming staff. Absolutely delicious items from the deli. My go-to for Ukrainian and European food in this area.

I love this store. Even though it's far from me, I'm still going there often. They're about quality. And for everything I need, they have Ukrainian brands.

Nice little shop with Eastern European products and brands. Various salted fish types, cheeses, salami and kielbasa, buckwheat, breads, pastas, jams, soup mixes, pastries, sweets, chocolates. Eastern-Euro countries represented. I’ll stop in again next time I’m passing.

Great selection, large assortment of Eastern European items. They support the Ukraine 🇺🇦!

Great selection and excellent service. One of the best if not the best in the area easter european grocery store.

I really like the deli selection. The smoked salami is a hit. The smoked pork loin was also very good. I will update with the appropriate names if I can. My suggestion is to ask questions to the person at the deli station and try samples without annoying the workers too much!

They have the Best Havarti cheese! Their smoked fish is delicious and the fresh food they make, is worth every cent. You can find all kinds of foods and teas.

Super delicious . Most of the Russian foods available there .

I wanted to share my latest experience shopping at this wonderful store. I am very impressed with quality and variety of prepared “ready-to-eat” food that we bought here. This is a real time saver when you want a home-prepared meals for your family, but do not have time to cook yourself. Delicious food, fresh, nicely presented with health-conscience. All ready food is covered with plastic wrap or appropriate covers.
Our family enjoys baked or fried meet pies, chicken-Kiev, been salad, eggplant dishes and many others.
I would highly recommend this store to all my friends, including English-speaking ones. Friendly staff is ready to explain ingredients and to provide taste-testing samples to help shoppers. It is real gem of Gaithersburg!

Review from 2015: Very friendly, clean and decent selection for the size!
From 2022: still a GREAT store!! Fantastic selection, very respectful to customers. Even my Peruvian husband feels welcome (plus LOVES their Napoleon Cake!). Always good selection of premade authentic foods. Highly recommend!

I love this shop. It has all the variety of a grocery store in Ukraine, and the staff is friendly. I will definitely be back!

This store has more variety then any other European store in the area. Prices are good too!The owner is amazing and supports Ukraine ❤

Taste of Europe, in reality, Taste of North Eastern Europe, is the place to go to for freshly made Russian delicacies, including borscht, salad Olivier, eggplants in French style and more. They also have a nice selection of home style cottage cheese.. For special occasions they have a variety of fresh cakes. The produce is not overpriced, their staff consists of lovely youngsters who are very friendly and eager to help. Do not hesitate to check the place out. Won't be disappointed.

Great place for special needs
I really like their selection of cheeses. you can find varieties of cheese that you cannot find and most places. The quality is excellent and the prices are reasonable. They also have a large selection of lunch meats that are completely different from those that you would find at your local supermarket. The selection of smoked fish is outstanding. This place is my go-to for caviar.

Great selection of Ukrainian food. Super friendly staff. They always give a free gift (we got chocolate bars). Just please don’t give Russian chocolate to customers who speak Ukrainian.

So happy to have found this store! Great assortments of quality Eastern European foods (mostly from the ex Soviet space), from fresh cheese, sausage and salami (check the kabanos meat sticks) to ginger bread and brine pickles. Have I mentioned the chocolate? Not only that I had hapy taste related flashbacks from my otherwise almost forgotten Romanian childhood, 50+ years ago, but I got the seal of approval of my otherwise very picky wife who is usualy very circumspect when presented with new foods.

Alright people, this is a great little store. They have a grand selection of tasty foods and beverages. Teas, candies, sauces, meats, and veg. Fresh made foods too, like stuffed cabbage, Russian pierogies, etc, etc. Well worth the field trip from West Virginia. And Kvass!
That's all, peace, out.
