Polish Paczki Cafe

I love this place! Everything I had was excellent. I'm not Polish but grew up with potato pancakes, and these were the best I've ever had in a restaurant, and I've tried various places over the years. The pierogi were fantastic: fresh and soft and flavorful. They have a fruit drink called kompot which is better than any fruit drink you can get. Natural and not too sweet. Even the latte was as good as what you can get at a regular cafe. I came here because a Polish guy told me that they have the best paczki, and those were delicious too. Fresh out of the oven, and I was told that these are traditional Polish style. Absolutely fantastic place, and I will come back even though I live downtown.

If you want to taste authentic polish food, come there. Food is amazing, tastes like home. Ladies are really friendly. Also amazing polish sweets, cakes, pastries. 100% recommend. Went there twice for dinner and dessert and I loved the food.

These Paczki are amazing. The donut is so fresh and flavorful. The staff that works here are very polish and offer great recommendations for other deserts to take home. Get a dozen cause they’ll go quick!8/1/24: went here again!! So so so tasty!

I wanted to have an authentic polish experience with a friend and this place couldn’t be more authentic. From atmosphere to food to languages spoken, we felt like we were transported to another place. While the stuffed cabbage was our favorite, other food was good. We liked polish style goulash with pancakes, paczki (polish style donut) and rumbo (dessert with rum inside). Iced tea/fruit punch went well with all the food.We witnessed a long line form often with people buying bakery items and food to go. While we were among many who dined it was nice to be part of a busy cafe while enjoying our food. The staff were nice people and I want to come back again. Soup of the day is on my list to try plus other pastries.

Fantastic food! I go there at least 1x a week. Freshly made, delicious, seasoned to my taste! And don't get me started on their sweets (to die for!!). A little slice of heaven after the Old Warsaw restaurant was shut down.

Do not sleep on this place. If you like Polish food or grew up Polish in Chicago, you owe it to yourself to try this. Everything is lovely and homemade. The atmosphere is intensely nostalgic.

Best polish food in Chicago. Everything is delicious - palce lizac, especially paczki. I’ve been going there for years and everyone that works there is so welcoming. It’s my go to place when I need a little pick me up.

Our first time trying Polish food and beyond worth it! So delicious we were drooling smelling the food being cooked. Thank you so much to the wonderful ladies who prepared and served our food!!!! Highly recommend!
