Description

European Market Cafe is Volodymyr and Iuliia Polishchuk’s Ukrainian deli-café in Overland Park — opened in October 2023 at 11170 Antioch Road, with a second Overland Park location added since. Volodymyr Polishchuk is also president of Stand With Ukraine KC, the local nonprofit supporting Ukrainian refugees; the shop employs Ukrainian refugees directly. The café portion serves Napoleon cake, pierogies, Eastern European pastries, and Messenger coffee; the market portion carries German and Polish deli meats and imported Eastern European grocery items. Co-owners Alex and Galit Israeli (an Israeli couple) manage a separate Israeli and kosher section within the same space. The Kansas City Star ran a full opening feature on October 12, 2023 profiling Volodymyr and Iuliia by name; KSHB ran a video segment. A second Overland Park location opened, confirming the concept’s viability. The only Ukrainian-owned food establishment consistently surfacing in KC-area searches for Eastern European cuisine.
