Went here for my Fat Tuesday pczkis and they are very yummy. I think there were at least 150 people in line in front of me and it took a bit over an hour to get my order and out of there. But I still found the staff very friendly when it got to my turn, and quick without making me feel like I needed to hurry up. I think the staff's positive attitude helped keep the people waiting for a long time in line pretty mellow. And the number system kept assisting people in good order. I want to go back soon to try some other pastries and pasties. Overall, the quality seemed good, but the custard pczki filling was more of a jello style custard. I would be willing to pay a bit more for real custard since the flavor is a huge difference. read more

Very authentic polish bakery. The pączki (donut) is a little different than what I'm used to on the east coast but it's still delicious. They are generous with the jelly filling and with the donut as a whole (only $1.50!). read more

This is probably one of my favorite bakery that I have ever visited by far! I found this place during a very nice day strolling around Hamtramck looking for new things to try out, their delicious bakery smell is what have caught my nose and wakes up my dessert spirit. They have such a huge variety of selection on items, and the price and portion of each item they sale here...Phew lets just say I feel like I can eat this all month long and not get tired of it! I purchased two custard donut and a gigantic eclair during my visit, and all of them taste great, definitely worth coming by again! And a great place to stop by if you are looking for an afternoon dessert like I am while walking around! read more

I'm a cake fiend the way there are Gucci fiends. This place is an awesome not-so-secret bakery. Their poppy seed cake is packed with such goodness you can almost inhale the opiates. It's pretty delicious for the price that it is. I'm addicted! read more

Chalka bread, Seven Sisters torte, Kruschiki! Cookies! We don't come as often as I'd like since we're 40 minutes away but it's all so good. All with old fashioned flavor just like I remember from childhood when we lived here. Thank you for continuing to serve the neighborhood! read more

Last year we drove by the New Palace Bakery and wanted to get Paczkis but the line was soooo long. This year we were prepared. We called in our order of 8 and went on a Sunday to pick them up. We were really disappointed because they didn't taste like paczkis. These pastries tasted like sweet bread w frosting on them. Oh well, our pursuit for the perfect pacZkis will carry on into next year. read more

I'm very happy with the Packzis I got for work today. I was worried with how crowded they would be today, but they got our large order correct. We pre-ordered, so the wait outside was only 25 min. Not too bad considering. They were pretty inexpensive, had lots of flavors, and the fillings were amazing. I'm excited to check out the rest of the bakery on a less busy day sometime. read more

First stop on my wedding cake search. One friend insisted that this place is as good as it gets. Well.... it sure is tasty. He is right there. Somehow the dust covered display wedding cakes did not inspire confidence. We'll keep looking. read more

I got paczki here for Fat Tuesday and some of them were good but some were very stale. Maybe it's because the demand is high for Fat Tuesday and they need to make then in advance or maybe my expectations were too high because of the great reviews. I recommend the custard or the specialty fillings. I did enjoy the experience of waiting in line at my childhood town and neighborhood bakery :). read more

New Palace Bakery - Strawberry Paczki - Bakeries Near Me - Hamtramck, Michigan

Very pleasant local bakery. i wish I could give the "butter cookies" (by the pound) a thumbs up but they are terrible. They do not taste like they have been made with butter. All the cookies taste the same, like everything is made from one shortening base. They were dry. I bought several pounds to make a cookie tray for work and was very disappointed. They are not inexpensive. Perhaps other items are more tasty as indicated by other reviews, but I would not recommend the holiday "butter cookies". I have had good ones and these do not even come close. read more

Wonderful bakery! Authentic goods, some of the very best you'll find. I love stopping in the way to and from the airport.

Spent over $25 on cookies cakes and bread. Everything was stale. Don't know what the problem was but we threw everything out.

This year was the first time I've ever waited in line for Packzi. New Palace came highly recommended and hands-down, these were the best packzi I've ever had. The dough was amazing. There was just the right amount of filling. I ate way too many. I read the review that said they were cold. Ours weren't and they weren't stuffed into a box either. I'm not saying s/he didn't experience this, but just that this wasn't the case for us at all. read more

This place has the best cinnamon twist donuts I've ever had. That's not even the donut I usually get and this was so good I will always grab it from them. Very clean and all from scratch! read more

Yes, I waited for 4 hours, 3 1/2 in the freezing cold, but there's no place better than this bakery our favorite Fat Tuesday delight. While I was there I picked up bread and coffee cake Again, just yummy delightful baked goods! read more

As far as Polish flavors in baked goods- terrible!! For starters their, chrusciki (angel wings) were stale and they're too thick! Secondly their poppy seed cake is DYED BLACK --not really full of poppy seeds!! It doesn't taste right, not the right texture- it was sooo disappointing. We paid 15$ for both of these items and we ended up throwing them out. No. Do not go to this bakery. Also FYI my 100% Polish and born there, so yes, I know what I'm talking about. read more

Wonderful donuts, breads, cookies, cupcakes...super friendly staff. Definently worth finding this hidden gem & making it a habit.

The quality of their breads and pastries has taken a BIG nosedive in recent years while prices have skyrocketed. $5.25 for a 2 pound loaf of seeded rye bread that is practically devoid of caraway seeds! Two months ago they were selling that same loaf for $3.95. Also, their Polish Pierogi contain VERY LITTLE filling. Very big disappointment! read more

fat tuesday this year i snuck in right under the bell. the creepster mcjones that worked the door locked it right after i walked in. the paczkis were fresh, delicious and stuffed with prunes. also some lemon, custard and raspberry. everyone i know was amazed by these treats as i was. i even think i might get our wedding cake from there. think they'll put two dudes on the top. with one wearing a polish pricess t-shirt? love, juston read more

Bakery is a farce. Way over priced and the baked goods are nothing special. City of Hamtramck needs to procure a viable Polish Bakery. If you want quality at a good value then patronize National Bakery. It's just about a five minute drive away located at 736 E. State Fair 48203. read more

I think I am the only person in the world that simply thinks this place is ok. The atmosphere is that of a traditional bakery. The service is out of this world. It's the baked goods that are just so so. I think it's great that they have paczki every day. The problem is...it's just not that good. Let me clarify...it is not traditional. Forgive me for nor being able to spell the other polish delights that we tried but seriously everything is just mediocre. I would pass. read more

I don't know what you have done to your pumpernickel bread but it is awful! I drive 30 minutes to buy your bread every holiday but I won't be doing it again! read more

NP is still a good bakery, but I think the quality of their products has slipped over the last few years. I've found the service to be very slow also. I expect to wait when there's a line, but there can often times be a ridiculously long wait. They need to move quicker or hire more people. I use to go to NP on an almost weekly basis, but now it's a once in a while stop for me. read more

Everything is super fresh. I've been coming here for years. This is the place to go for paczki!

I think it's silly that yelp makes you write a review of a certain length in order for it to be posted as a review and not a "Tip" ... When all I really want to say here is, "Perfection" ... So I have to fill up space with nonsense. read more

This place is good. And people often want to know what is better, here or New Martha Washington Bakery. Well, I have tried both numerous times. New Palace Bakery has a much better selection. So depending on what you like/want, this might be the only place to get it. The pricing is a little more expensive than New Palace Bakery. For a pound of Italian Cookies, I paid $2.00 more and I believe the cookies were not as good (although not bad). I had some boston creme-like donuts. Awesome stuff. I believe it was $1.25, and the price was very fair. Would return depending on what I need/want. read more

This place is great!!! The customer service is excellent and the pastrys and bread are great also. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, We will definitely be back!!! read more

Shocked to say the least. I'm talking about prices, really $2.95 for a jelly donut, bought some yesterday but never again and the rest of their prices much too high. read more

Not like the old days but it still satisfies my sweet tooth. I love the butter cookies and kruschiki. Good old fashion pumpernickel, buttermilk, and rye breads. Try the poppyseed or almond coffee cake - you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is always packed when we go and for good reason. The baked goods are fantastic, especially the Polish specialties. I also love the old school bakery vibes. read more

One of the best polish bakeries in Hamtramck. Everything is made on premise and there is a great rotating selection. Some of the most super things I've had here that I'd suggest trying: the bobkas and angel wings. Oh! and if they have snowballs out or black forrest cake don't pass it up. You can also buy potato bread here and it's dang good. Prices are very reasonable and the ladies are very friendly and helpful read more

One of the best bakeries I have ever been to. It takes you back to how things use to be. Everything is made fresh right there. The staff is always helpful and the variety is endless. We purchases our wedding cake from here and it was a HIT, we had no leftovers and people were talking for days after wards how good it was. Its street parking only, come hungry you won't regret it! read more

Great Rye breat and their buttermilk bread is very yummy. They also have the best Paczki anywhere! Their pastries and cakes are great. Definitely worth checking it out if you are around town. read more

We bought Babka...Paskos...Seven Sisters cake...2 days before easter. The place was packed full of happy excited people waiting for all kinds of baked goods. Staff was energetic and engaged. Later, a taste of the baked goods and we completed the trifecta. A perfect experience. My heritage is 3/4 Slovak but as there are few Slovak bakeries around I borrow from the Poles and I can report that the baked goods here brought back memories. read more

Tried this bakery once and never will again. Their goods are not fresh. I had the chocolate chip cookies and they felt so heavy in weight and had that taste that it's been on the tray for a while. Also the Maryann's omg so horrible. The cream is too thick and doesn't taste delicious. My kids wouldn't even eat it after they took their first bite. And the cheese cake. It's ok but the bottom layer is this yellow thick something that made it taste awful. I'm sorry but this is an honest review. My husband was the one who went to the bakery and got them for us. read more

We are former Michigan residents who retired and moved to Florida in 1998. However, whenever we go back to the Detroit area if at all possible we stop at this wonderful bakery and bring many loaves of bread home with us. Our favorites are the seeded rye and pumpernickel. Carol and Charlie read more

First time here in MANY years, it was stepping back in time and not at all disappointing. Everything purchased was delicious and just looking in the window had us salivating. Everyone near the place was telling us to go inside we would not be disappointed, and they were right. More than yummy!! read more

I live down south now, but I am from metro Detroit. When I brought a friend home for her first visit to the area this weekend, I made sure New Palace was on the agenda. We braved subzero temps and a flipping blizzard to grab paczkis and mini bumpy cakes (they don't have them nationwide, can you believe it??), but loooook you guys, we wanted to buy everything in this store. Giant eclairs. Donuts. Moon Pies. Snowballs. Any kind of cookie you can think of. Not into sweets, you're more of a savory food person? Now problem, how about thigh sized loaves of bread, pirogies, and Kowalski sausage (made about 3 miles down the road, so as fresh as you can find it without making it yourself)? This place hasn't been in business for over 100 years because they're just "ok" at this bakery business, they are OUTstanding, friendly, cheerful, and they definitely serve up the tastiest treats you'll find basically anywhere. It's a small spot, so if you're going to go on Fat Tuesday, they open at like 3am, you'd better pre order, and show up early to get a parking spot, because a) street parking and b) it's still cold on Fat Tuesday and you aren't going to want to walk 6 blocks and then stand in a line out the door in the predawn hours. It'll be worth every minute and every step, but why make life harder than it needs to be? They make so many more flavors on Fat Tuesday, you can go wild. Get a chocolate hazelnut buttercream for me! read more

If this were a review solely on the staff, I would have definitely given a better rating. The girls were super friendly and attentive. However, we were not pleased with the products we purchased today. I have had their paczki in the past, and they were tasty. They were what you would expect from any privately owned bakery (vs a donut place or grocery store). Their selection is good, they offer a little bit of everything. However, I was really shocked to see how much space was given to italian butter cookies. They had TONS of them. Those cookies are mass produced from a corporate baking company and you can find them anywhere. I would expect when I go into a hometown bakery for everything to be made in house, from scratch. As for the paczki, what they are so well known for, there was not ONE available for purchase, they were completely sold out, on a Saturday. We settled for a couple different items that we had never tried before. Two different Maryanns, half of a 7 sister cake and half of a 7 children cake. The Maryanns were terrible. The filling was super dense, and had absolutely no taste. Those went into the trash. The flavor of the 7 Sister torte was better, but it was VERY stale. A few bites and I was done. The 7 Children torte was nasty. Again, it was very stale. The flavor was awful, all I could taste was food coloring. One bite and we were done. All in all, it was a very disappointing visit. Not to say that I wouldn't return in teh future. However, if I did return, I would stick to buying a paczki read more

I stood in the freezing cold to get some paczki today. What a big disappointment and a waste of $30 for 2 dozen. This is a review of their paczkis only. The were cold and stuffed into a box that was obvoiusly too small to hold 12. I opened these at work and my heart sank. They looked extremely unappetizing. I like pleny of filling but when I bit into one the filling just kept oozing out. I can't really comment on the quality of the dough because it was cold - it seemed too chewy and doughy. Maybe they're better warm and not squished but really for $30 I was expectring some quality. You're better off going to a grocery store. I am 100% Polish and these were not even a little bit close to the real thing. Totally not worth it. read more
