Delicatessens the world over have a common aroma about them. The smell of fresh coffee intermingled with the aromas of exotic cheeses and cold meats, spices and countless other flavours of the Mediterranean.

This is the welcoming sensation that you encounter on entering Europa Deli and Cafe in the heart of Shepparton for a sit back and relaxing cup of coffee or anyone of their tasty home cooked treats behind the glass counter.
