Pączki (pronounced "pohnch-key") are traditional Polish doughnuts, beloved for their heavenly taste and cultural significance. These sweet delights boast a soft, yeasty dough fried to a golden, pillowy perfection. Often filled with raspberry, custard, or rose jam, pączki are dusted with powdered sugar, creating a symphony of flavors that transport you to the heart of Polish culinary tradition. Whether enjoyed during festive occasions like Fat Tuesday or enjoyed as a special treat year-round, pączki symbolize togetherness, warmth, and the joy of savoring time-honored traditions.

In Poland, pączki hold a special place in people's hearts, especially on Fat Thursday, known as "Tłusty Czwartek" (Fat Tuesday abroad). On this joyous day, lines form around bakeries across the country as eager customers wait for warm, freshly made pączki. The air is filled with the alluring aroma of these delectable treats, and the palpable excitement resonates as people gather to indulge in the joy of pączki. Witnessing families and friends coming together to share the happiness that these beloved pastries bring is a heartwarming experience.

The word "pączki" is pronounced as "PONCH-kee" in English. The original Polish pronunciation is a bit more nuanced, with the "ą" producing a nasal sound, but the anglicized version is commonly accepted and understood. Feel free to enjoy these delicious treats no matter how you pronounce them!

Pączki are traditional Polish pastries made with a rich, yeasty dough that includes eggs and butter, and they are commonly filled with fruit preserves, sweet cheese, or other fillings. Donuts, on the other hand, are typically lighter and cake-based, often featuring a hole in the middle and a variety of toppings like glaze or sprinkles.

Our pączki are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at a low temperature. Please avoid using a microwave, as it may compromise the texture and taste.

At this time, we do not have vegan options, as our recipes include dairy and eggs.

Due to the delicate nature of pączki and the traditional ingredients used in their preparation, we cannot offer gluten-free or egg-free options. Our paczki are handcrafted with wheat flour and eggs, which are essential for achieving the classic texture and flavor that makes them so beloved.

While our menu features a delightful assortment of yummy fillings, we love to hear your suggestions and ideas for new flavors. We are open to considering custom orders for special occasions and unique fillings. Feel free to reach out to us with your requests, and we'll do our best to accommodate your preferences.
