European Street Cafe

European Street Cafe on this Stay Safe Jax page is the Park Street shop at 2753 Park Street, Jacksonville, FL 32205. Google Places lists the phone as (904) 384-9999. Visit Jacksonville files this cafe as European Street Cafe - Riverside. The building sits on Park Street in the Riverside / Avondale 32205 zip code. This page is that Park Street room. It is not the San Marco cafe at 1704 San Marco Boulevard, not Jacksonville Beach at 992 Beach Boulevard, and not the downtown Riverfront Plaza project that had not opened when this page was written. The building predates the sandwiches. The Coastal and Adapt + Reuse, citing Jacksonville historian Wayne Wood, say 2753 Park Street was built in 1941 as an Orange State Oil Company service station designed by Miami architect Michael Vaviloff, with Art Deco and Streamline Moderne details. Orange State closed in the early 1960s. Florida Barber College later used the building. In 1992 the Zarka family renovated the boarded-up station as a second European Street after dropping the Mr. Dunderbak’s franchise at Regency Square Mall. News4Jax reported on October 22, 2025 that owner Andy Zarka said the family bought the building in 1992 and that his father wanted the paint and dome to honor the Art Deco shell. Visit Jacksonville dates the concept to a German deli at Regency Square in 1980. The Florida Times-Union reported on July 6, 2026 that the City of Jacksonville selected European Street Cafe to operate the cafe space at downtown’s Riverfront Plaza, with an expected late-fall opening. That story also said the Southside restaurant closed in 2022 after 23 years and that Regency closed in 1999. A new downtown park cafe is not a replacement for 2753 Park Street, and it is not this listing. Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores.

The Park Street European Street Cafe is a long-running Jacksonville sandwich and beer cafe in a 1941 service-station building, with a strong Google snapshot, visitor-bureau listing, and recent news about a separate riverfront cafe. That is a good, ordinary public record, not a warning page.
