Poppyseed streudel
Fawn G.

I stumbled upon Piekarnia Staropolska during my visit to Greenpoint today. I took one look in the window and saw the poppyseed streudel and babka and that was it... The memories of my babe who was born in Warsaw and could bake deliciousness in a snap of a finger and the bakery on 13th Street,Brooklyn that my grandparents used to buy these delicacies when I was younger, crystallized immediately. I entered the small shop and took it all in.. the breads: challah, wheat, rye, pumpernickel.. just wonderful. I was really interested in the babka and there were two kinds to order; blueberry and cheese and plain cheese. I was so excited that I called my mom to let her know about this wonderful find. I decided on the cheese babka, bargain at $7.50. I was pretty stoked and told the two employees about my grandma born in Poland, etc..and.. I.. got.. nothing. Bupkus. Then other patrons came in and spoke in Polish and there was conversation taking place. I hate to agree with other reviewers, but this is not a friendly shop. Unfortunately, these days having a great shop with delicious baked goods doesn't amount to much. Hopefully, on my next visit, Old Poland will be replaced by a newer and friendlier bakery. Additionally, Warsaw is on my travel bucket list and my cousin and me are planning to retrace our grandma's lineage. *3 stars for beautiful baked goods, minus 2 stars for unpleasantness.

I got a huge TGTG order (29 pastries!). I got to try a bunch of things but bottom line is that they are generally less flaky/buttery/sweet than a typical French good. They taste more plain, so probably work better for folks who want less decadent pastries. In reheating them, I found that a longer time at lower heat (15 mins at 250 degrees) worked best. Regular croissants were too bland for my liking, but the chocolate one was more interesting (chocolate was more coagulated in a nice way). Cheese croissant (sweet) was better too. There was a plethora of squarish pastries with a slightly sweet cheese filling and 3-4 raisins. They were topped with a light scattering of crumble. Very filling. Also had poppy seed loaf, a loaf with a side pocket of grape(?) jelly, strudel with the same cheese filling as the squares, and apple strudel.

This bakery is absolutely terrific. I have purchased some of the best bread I've ever had from this establishment. I wish I had bought more slices of cake to bring home with me because everything was so moist, delectable, and absolutely mouth-watering.

PÄ…czki (Polish donut)

When I am craving Paczki (aka Polish Donut) this bakery is my go-to place . What makes a good paczki is of course a great recipe, achieved at this bakery . The ones here are filled with delicious jelly , the right amount at that . The paczki is light and airy inside but dense. A win-win-win! This bakery also makes a scrumptious cheese Babka. With al the goodies they sell , you will walk out with many items . The prices are reasonable too with such great quality.

This is a great place to buy fresh Polish breads and pastries. Unlike some other yelp reviewers I never had an issue with staff until today. In the Covid world everyone does their part to protect others, except for this employee of Old Poland Bakery. This lady was wearing her mark below the chin so I politely asked her to put in on, I figured she forgot. I was wrong, she didn't forget, she told me that Covid19 is a hoax created by the elites and that she will not wear a mask because it is bad for her health. I decided not to argue, took a photo and left. We are not 100% sure how Covid is transmitted, I took my goods and dumped them in the nearby trash. I also filed a complaint with the city and will try to contact the owner.

Staropolski whole loaf, and 2x Olive bread
Rex W.

PURCHASED: Whole Staropolski Loaf ($3.50-ish) and Olive Bread ($1.50 ea.) TOTAL: $5 PROS: + Bread cutter: They cut your loaf for you. It is perfect toast in the morning with eggs. + Affordable: Generous mount of bread for $3.50 beats the local super market across. + Polish-speaking: Polish Polish Polish. This spot is worked by a few attractive Polish girls. To say "thank you" in Polish, it is, "Dziękuję." CONS: - Not baked in-store: It is delivered in the morning. When I asked where/details on the bread, they did not disclose. It is a mystery. IMPRESSION: If it is any indicator of how good it is, I have come here at least 8+ times within the past 10 months. Great-priced bread. Will certainly return in the future.

Poppy bread
Arlene A.

Just passing by and saw this tiny bakery along Manhattan Ave. Got the cheese babka, poppy bread, and a sponge cake roll with blueberry and cream- forgot the name. All were delish and not too sweet. The woman who was helping us is strict on social distancing; she didn't allow other people to come in u til 2 of us were done.

Looks better in person. Definitely got some after I passed by, lol.

I was walking to take the L train and came upon this bakery. Mainly because it smelled so good and I got distracted turned my head to the left, then voila I saw the amazing sweets displayed outside waiting to be eaten by yours truly. Hmm... my mouth salivating, I went in and got myself a chocolate donut. Boy, I was not disappointed. Will definitely grab some sweets here every time I am by the neighborhood.

Green-looking cake inside.
Keith B.

I'm not sure if I came at the right time or how long the cakes were sitting, but one of the cakes I ordered had a greenish tint inside. I was so grossed out, that I threw it away and the other one I ordered.

First time coming in person (I have been spoiled and a fantastic coworker would bring in different…read moretreats from here on occasion). The space is relatively small, with a line inside and outside and a few tables outside. The length of the line and wait time varies based on the time of day and if you go on a weekday vs weekend. Go early if you don't want them to sell out of anything or purposely go a little later if you want one of their lunch sandwiches on focaccia. I have had the tomato and garlic focaccia twice now and each time it has been exceptional. Minor critique, the slices of garlic could be a bit smaller. I also had the shakshuka focaccia which is divine and I would absolutely recommend both. I need to come back to try their sandwiches as well. I am not a sweets person, but everyone I know loves their pastries. Getting someone a gif tcard here makes for a great gift.

Dropped by Radio Bakery on the Tuesday morning after Memorial Day and the lines weren't too crazy…read more I got there in time to grab some breakfast items and baked goods, and then waited at a table outside for the lunch items to get set out around 11AM. I'm usually more of a savory girlie but all the sweet items we tried were great, especially the rhubarb croissant and the earl grey morning bun. I really enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches (smoked salmon and pea/mint/feta were elite) and the artichoke green garlic slice. The flavor of the sesame stirato was excellent but the bread itself was a tad too chewy for the filling we got with it (tuna salad), so that style probably works better with the jambon beurre. Will definitely be on the rotation whenever I'm in the city -- would love to try some of their seasonal/limited edition items one day, though not sure if I have it in me to brave the lines that can form on the weekends, lol! We'll see :)

Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

First time I have walked by and there isn't a like so of course I had to go in. Went with the bacon…read moreegg and cheese focaccia. This was delicious but they should definitely keep it on a warming tray or something! It was nice and cheesy with a good amount of the bacon and a whole egg inside. Also had the peach iced tea (doesn't come sweetened but they have options on the bar opposite the register. Service was quick and friendly I was in and out. Grabbed a spot on the bench under the tree to chow down.
