Went here on „Pączki Day” 2026… it was quite nice that the restaurant opened at 3 AM. When I went around 9 AM there wasn’t much of a line. The pączki are very fresh and even hot when I picked them up. I guess the only complaint I could have is they only carry one flavor. It is like a mixed berry flavor. It is good, but would have preferred to have other flavors, especially the traditional rose flavor. But overall good.

This is a review of just the paczki. I have bought paczki every year in this city on Paczki Day for the past decade, trying a variety of bakeries on the NW side. This year I discovered PPC and wow. I have never had such good ones. They remind me of pastries that my Romanian grandmother used to make and they are just absolute bliss. The dough is unlike any other I’ve tried around town, more pastry-like than bread-like. They only make one flavor, a plum/rose/raspberry, and it is AMAZING. I honestly no longer need all the other flavors, this is hands down incredible stuff. Thank you for your beautiful work, I know your team works very hard to make these for the community on this busy day!
