Asheville’s Unparalleled Old Europe Pastries
baking and making people happy for over 25 years
Since 1994, the one and only Old Europe Pastries, located in downtown Asheville, NC, has been providing locals and visitors alike with exceptional, welcoming service, incredible pastries, and great coffee. For nearly 3 decades, our goal has remained the same: improving the day of everyone who walks through our door with sweet pastries and thoughtful customer service.
Asheville’s own little corner of old Europe
Melinda Vetro, the woman behind all of the sweet creations and comforting atmosphere found at Old Europe, got her start learning to bake in pastry school while growing up in Hungary. After immigrating to the US with her then husband Zoltan, they toured the country together and eventually settled down in the mountains of Asheville, NC.
In 1994, the original Battery Avenue location of Old Europe was born. Melinda immediately established Old Europe Pastries as a staple in Asheville culture for locals and tourists alike, curating bold flavors and a warm atmosphere. Melinda and her son Bence opened the current location on Broadway together in 2010.
Our family owned and operated business with deep European roots will always be delighted to welcome and serve you. We are very grateful to Asheville and look forward to the many more treats to be shared and years to come!
