The most wonderful paczki I have ever tasted! Worth the trip ! I felt like went back in time to when my grandmother would do her baking when I saw all the delicious treats and breads! Every time I visit I think of the traditions they maintain and how thankful they are only a short trip away! read more

I visited this bakery in Little Poland for the second time today. I wanted to get a paczki (a Polish Donut). When it was my turn to order, I asked what kind they had and the woman taking orders said a few things, but all I heard was strawberry. In part because I don't have the best hearing, and in part because there is a plastic shield separating customers from the employees. I asked if she could repeat the types. She stared at me unhappily for about 10 seconds, seemingly trying to make me feel uncomfortable. I said I couldn't hear you. There was obviously a bit of an issue understanding each other, but it became clear that I was asking her to say the choices again. She ultimately repeated them. Complete with annoyed glances. After I heard the types, I said I wanted the strawberry. She said "how many?" I said just one because I wanted to eat it then and didn't need any for later. From her body language and the disturbed look in her eyes, I could tell that she was unhappy, that I was getting just one. Like I was inconveniencing her by making her put forth such effort for just one paczki. I responded that I didn't want it anymore and walked out. I can't remember the last time a person working in a business has been that openly rude to me. I'll never be back. 1 Star read more

Kasia Bakery - Outside - Bakeries Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

Kasia Bakery - New Britain, CT Kasia Bakery is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Polish baked goods and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every time I visit, I'm reminded of the care and tradition that goes into each item they make. One of the standout treats is the cheese and cherry stuffed babka--a perfect balance of tangy cherries, creamy cheese, and rich, buttery dough. It's a slice of heaven that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee. Another must-try is their apple szarlotja (polish apple cake/pie), which is moist, fragrant, and loaded with fresh apple flavor. If you're in the mood for something indulgent, the creme-filled karpatka is a showstopper. Its delicate choux pastry and velvety filling are a true testament to Polish pastry perfection. Whether you're stocking up for a holiday or just treating yourself, Kasia Bakery never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and happy to help you find your new favorite dessert. Don't miss out--this bakery is a true treasure in New Britain! TIP: it's a very small bakery where you pick up and take out as there is no seating in the place itself. read more

I have bought from this bakery for years with no disappointments but the last few years it has changed! It was always a "polish" bakery. Now the employees do not understand polish or English. I have such trouble just placing a simple order. Also the quality of the bake goods has declined. The fillings.. apple, custard, poppyseed etc are barely even visible in the pastries. The prices have doubled but the quality has declined 3x . Today I visited this location and was disgusted to see older women touching and squeezing unwrapped breads with their bare hands. Gross! The owner needs to go back to the old ways and not cut so many corners to make more money. read more

Haven't tried my purchase! It was a gift! Quaint little place with overworked older lady! Not a lot of patience! I was new to the bakery and felt stressed to ask any questions! Got what I needed and left! read more

This was our go to Polish bakery for years, but the variety and quality of the baked goods have declined after the owner's husband was arrested and pleaded guilty to tax fraud. It is but a shadow of its former self with a notable decline in the number of customers. On my last visit I picked up a tiramisu which was partially frozen though pretty tasty after it was allowed to thaw. I probably won't be returning any time soon choosing to favor local businesses with fresher pastries. read more

I had high hopes for the paczki but they barely had any filling and had an oily aftertaste. Can't speak to the rest of the products, they looked good but it was hard to tell what was what. read more

Amazing crepes and pierogi- everything is very authentic and homemade. Couldnt ask for better!

Wonderful baked goods. Big variety in a tiny little storefront in "Little Poland," New Britain, CT.

Delicious bread and pastries. Pricey, but worth it. Favorite item we bought was a cranberry-blueberry loaf, rich in fruit and not sugary. There wasn't much signage and we don't speak Polish, so I'm not sure what it's called. Like a rich, fruity coffee cake. We'll go back next time we're in New Britain. read more

This was an experience, since I went on fat Thursday, and every Catholic knows you MUST eat pączki that day. I felt as if I was back in the communist Poland standing in line as a child to buy my baked goods, peeking over the shoulders in front of me with hopes there is enough for everybody, the woman at the counter smiled and said don't worry we have plenty. It's was my turn! My turn to get my Polish donuts called pączki , pon-ch-kee , I assumed we will eat two each. I assumed wrong, boy was I wrong since I inhaled a strawberry and a prune donut as I got in my car, and could have eaten an entire dozen. I went back for more, than my eyes started eating everything else I saw, so I also purchased a cake with cranberries, it was tart but perfect addition to my coffee and tea. I observed the locals buying the different breads and asking if it had seeds on top or throughout, and the woman explained each loaf and the difference between them, that's next time. Store looked empty and cramped, with limited supply on display but they store a lot in the back, everything was fresh. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

What a change since the last time we were here~! The bakery was empty, empty shelves, rolling carts with a few loaves of bread. We did buy a piece of poppy seed torte, but, the woman was curt and not friendly. Forget this place and try Roly Poly. What a shame! read more

I'm a sucker for bakeries. I don't rate them based on the person who takes my order (who was very nice by the way). I rate them by the quality of their goods. I bought some almond danish, apple turnovers and pierogi all of which were outstanding. As in a 'rare treat' outstanding. Yes, there was a line to get in and for good reason. And some things were -gasp- sold out so people bought what wasn't sold out. And the counter people all spoke polish, you pay in american currency. My guess is that you get treated as politely as you treat the hired help. Don't let any sour grape reviews dissuade you from patronizing the place - its worth the minor inconveniences. read more

This is an old-fashioned full-service bakery. Their Babka is superb. My favorite is the cherry-sour cream loaf. Cookies are not the run of the mill butter cookies, there are a lot of creative flavors and shapes. You *must* try the Pistachio cheesecake, too. Sourdough rye bread is very rewarding. It's dense and glutinous - you may want to have it sliced, as we've learned to do. Hand-cut, larger slices expose one's palate to too much firm, crusty goodness for comfort. Yes, the women who work there are more or less cheerless. But it's a bakery. So I just load-up, they bag it and take my card ($10 minimum) and the sale is consummated. Beware of lines on the weekend, but that is where the stoic ladies shine: they shepherd their customers from selection to payment in record time! read more

Ordered a cake for my daughters birthday. When we went to eat it, it was frozen. We understand bakeries make their cakes the night before but when we pick it up they should have had the decency to tell us to keep it out of the fridge. Or better yet, why have it in the freezer if it is getting picked up the next day? When we called to address our concern the woman laughed at us and told us it was still good. We were very disappointed with how the handled the situation. read more

A little up in the air about this bakery. So so authentic polish that the women working there did not speak a word of English. We went at 5:00pm on a Saturday and they closed at 7:00pm. Then door was locked from the inside and the women would let people in when she looked at them. Maybe a high crime area but not sure. You needed to be unlocked to get out of that same door. We didn't know what to order as there were no prices, labels or anyone to tell us anything. There were large pieces of cakes and some type of strudels and we wanted a slice of a few to go but the women would only cut a chosen few. Got something else almost like a hot crossed bun with a tiny tiny dab of jelly inside. The apricot strudel thing was very good. There were breads but we did not know what they were. I would love to see a few signs just telling you what you are purchasing. Prices for our apricot strudel and the bun thing was very very reasonable at $4.50. I will research some of these pastries and go again. read more

This is a very authentic Polish bakery, right down the street from Polmart. Everything is made with real ingredients. No preservatives are used and the pastries and cakes they produce are heavenly. read more

Cute lil bakery in the middle of Little Poland. Always selling fresh and delicious Polish pastries! This place is such a hit that during big Polish holidays, the line to buy pastries is out the door and around the block! Now only a place with 5 stars would have a line of dedicated customers like that!!! read more

The customer service is absolutely terrible. The lady working there is rude and not willing to do anything. The pastry is very good but the service is angering. read more

Good or not, I will not return. I came in person to place and pay for an order on a Tuesday for Saturday. Returning on Saturday at the time promised I waiting in line for ONE HOUR with everyone else who was just picking out what they wanted that day. Nothing is worth that lack of customer service. read more

Top-notch Polish bakery. My family has been coming here for years. You can't beat the value here. Everything is fresh, made from scratch and tasty. The staff does not speak English very well and may come off as unfriendly to some. Nevertheless, personally, I've never had a problem. Cash only. read more

I came inside hoping to buy some polish cheesecake all though there was a lot of flies i didn't really care. There was a line, after waiting 8 minutes i was finally first, instead of taking my order the woman there started to take the person's behind me, who came after me, I was sort of annoyed and then after he left i was just ignored, so finally i said something. i received my slice and left, i really didn't enjoy being ignored like that though. read more

I have been going here for years the prune donuts were always good. Not today I ordered the prune donuts and they tasted like they had been spayed with bug spray. Against my better judgment I ate one and I have been sick all day. Beware read more

Absolutely awful service, selling people are not friendly at all. CASH ONLY!!!!! Is it a bad dream???? My husband wanted to show me on face time what we could buy for Christmas and was unpleasantly reprimanded. I can't imagine treating my clients like that. Are you Kasia Bakery for us or we are for you? I read many bad reviews about this place but decided to check it out anyway. Very disappointing. It doesn't matter how good your product is if you don't know hw to treat your customers. Merry Christmas Kasia bakery, you just lost another one! read more

Staff is very rude and the goods are mediocre. Other people have commented about the staff and attributed it to the fact that they did not speak Polish. I do speak the language and was treated rudely and unfairly. Not worth the trip or the wait in line. read more

If you're in the mood for sweets this place has the best cakes,cookies, breads you name it... Everything is good and their dark bread with cranberries and walnuts is to die for!! I'm addicted I buy it all the time!!! Forgot to mention...their selection of cakes seems to be bigger towards the weekend... read more

I want to strongly recommend Kasia's Bakery. You can be positive that anything from Kasia's is of the highest quality. I love their bread, especially authentic hard to get otherwise rye. In addition, their pastries and sweats are delicious. There is also an option of buying a cheap and delicious lunch. Again it should be emphasized the quality of Kasia's products. I honestly don't care that there are lines and staff s non-pretentious and not kissing your ass. The quality of food is comparable to Hungry Ghost in Northampton, MA. read more

Me and my sister woke up and were looking to eat something but, not fast food. So we randomly stopped at this place and we didn't regret it. The service was very friendly and the food was very good. We bought a lot of food for a little bit of money. We will definitely be coming back to this place. read more

Everything they have is excellent and the prices are even better. The staff are genuinely good people and they appreciate every order. The coffee cake tastes straight out of Europe. Best Polish bakery in CT. read more

Love their pastries! Great birthday cakes too. Love going in there, except around the major Polish holidays- I have seen lines going out the door and onto the sidewalk. This is when my wife goes in to get the sweets. Yes, she likes their pastries even more than I do. read more

I would never go here. I called to place an order I was changed to 3 different people. They weren't very friendly. When I went to finalize my order the lady said, "someone just walked in I'm busy call me back in half an hour" excuse me??? I'm on my lunch break calling YOU to give YOU business and you want me to call you back? No. They could of at least taken my information down quickly and called me back and just asked the customer who walked in to hold on one second. So I called back when I got out of work because I don't have time to be calling when it's convenient for a business to take a customers call. I asked to order the cake she goes "no too late" that's all she said. I will never do business with these people. BAD first impression. I will be sure to tell my company when we have meetings to not order from here. I will rather give my business to someone who values their customers. read more

I rarely get into New Britain anymore, but I did grow up there. Any event I've been to with ties to New Britain, or in New Britain itself; weddings, showers, Baptisms, funerals, whenever someone asks where the pastries and cake are from, the answer is always "Kasia's on Broad Street". Everything is made from scratch, and I bet there are things you have never tasted before, so it's worth the trip:) read more

the best cabbage and mushroom perogies around really stuffed send them to my brother in Calf.
