Borderless European Market (BEM) is a unique grocery store in Austin that caters to those with a taste for Eastern and Central European cuisine. The store offers a wide range of products, from meats and cheeses to sweets and frozen foods, all sourced from across Europe. The staff, with their charming Russian accents, are helpful and knowledgeable, guiding customers through the selection. For those who have moved from former Soviet Union states, BEM provides a taste of home, with many familiar products from their childhood. While the selection may not be the largest, it is the only one of its kind in the area, making it a valuable resource for those seeking authentic European ingredients. The store is praised for its high-quality offerings, with customers particularly enjoying the bryndzové, smoked meats, European farmer cheeses, and hard-to-find sweets. Despite being a bit pricey, the convenience and authenticity of the products make BEM a highly recommended destination for those seeking a taste of Europe in Austin.

East European connection for meats cheeses and other sundries. The bryndzové was exactly what I needed to complete my Slavic recipe recently. They also have a nice little meat counter for sausages etc. Helpful staff with charming Russian accents. Will be back very soon!! спасибо, войска!

Everything is just great! It was necessary to buy sweets and deliver them to Austin. I myself am in Ukraine, so I wasn't sure if it was even possible to do it. Promptly answered all questions, went to the meeting, everything was in the best form. Correspondence was conducted in Ukrainian. Taras is a Vanlav. Thank you very... read full comment
