Parthenon Foods - European Market

I discovered Parthenon foods about a year ago. I went there initially to see if they carried Bulgarian feta cheese (they do). I had been traveling over an hour to either Madison or Kenosha to find good feta and delighted to have Parthenon conveniently located in the Milwaukee area. Parthenon has around a half dozen kinds of feta, and it's always fresh. I have switched from the Bulgarian (which is tangy and also excellent) to the cream feta, which is perfect for a topping pizzas, which we make from scratch at home. The cream feta stays moist and creamy even after baking and reheats very nicely too. I have not found a grocery chain that carries feta that works as well for pizza. Both are also great for salads or for eating plain. My family also loves the makings for gyros and the Greek bakery goods available here, and this is a great place for finding European chocolates and other unusual but tasty products that are great for gifts. The lunchtime lemon chicken soup is terrific!nnIn addition to the great selection and prices and the chance to shop local, this is a store that truly deserves the support of the community because they are really doing a great job. Each member of the staff is friendly and helpful, patient and pleasant--what I think of as old-fashioned, small town service. They seem appreciative of my business and treat my $3 transactions as if they are important as my $50 transactions. And they offer products and services that fill a gap in what you find in the chain grocery stores.

Having just moved to Milwaukee weeks ago, I was so comforted to find this shop. It is a joy to see a family owned neighborhood grocer in such good health. Beautiful. Both the space and the curation of goods. Prices are modest. Atmosphere feels like home.nAdd a small daily selection of fresh bread?

Excellent place for European food and service is also excellent

Awesome store with incredibly friendly and helpful staff!!! First time in there and i only live 2 blocks away, def will be back. Huge selection of ethnic groceries and fantastic gyros to go at reasonable prices!!!!

Truly had a ball walking and examining the aisles. Even the music...felt it in my DNA. So many things I needed and wanted.
