Amazing!! This cafe has the best paczki hands down, game over! To be honest all of the hot foods and deserts are delicious! I purchased a ton of different Polish deserts for Easter here and all were fresh and yummy. There paczki which are like polish donuts are incredible. Filled with homemade jam made of rose and prune I believe. I got a babka that was so good reminded me of my grandmothers. The zurek (Polish soup with white sausage and egg) was a hit for everyone that tired it. I was obsessed with the poppyseed deserts. Definitely worth checking out if your in the area and want authentic fresh delicious Polish food read more

We had lunch here today. The food was delicious and the Paczki, cheesecake, and spice cake are all very good. I had the very large potato pancake covered with pork goulash. Pork was tender and the paprika was sharp and just right. The people there were all very nice. Lots of traffic for baked goods. We will go here again. read more

Best Perogis I've had since my best friends mom made me some. I've tried those frozen ones and what not and it just doesn't compare. These melt in your mouth and there's just the right amount of filling in them. I ordered cheese and potato Ones and they are to die for! As for their paczkis I was worried because they had just One flavor and it was well worth the risk. They are now my FAVORITE. Best paczkis I've ever had. The dough is so fresh and fluffy. The filling is just perfect. It's some sort of plum/prune/ fruit mix I believe. I do not like prunes or anything but this is perfect. My husband even said it was delicious and he's just super picky overall. So happy we gave this place a try. Wish I did long time ago since it's right down the street from me. Thank you!!!!!! Will be back read more

Hands down the best paczki that your Grandma has never made. Gotta try. Get there early as the sell out.

This little place has the very best Polish pączki ever! Absolutely the best! Delicious, fresh, made daily! Every time I stop by here I remember that feeling of goodness when I was a kid growing up in Poland and eating this lovely polish donut. Their baked goods are super delicious and the cappuccino I got to go was spot on as well. You've got to try this place. You will not be disappointed! read more

They only have one flavor of packzis because they are that delicious. The fruit filling is excellent. I stood in line behind a woman who drove in all the way from Naperville for the paczkis. read more

Pyszne polskie domowe jedzenie. Przepyszne pączki i ciasta. Polecam! Jeżeli masz ochotę na tradycyjną polską kuchnię, lub pragniesz znowu zakosztować smaków kuchni swojej mamy lub babci, to musisz odwiedzić to miejsce. Schabowy, gulasz, zup itd. smakiem przypominają mi dania jakie gotowała moja mama i babcia. Pączki - najlepsze pod słońcem, niejedna Polska cukiernia powinna uczyć się od tych Pań robienia pączków. Następnym razem jak będę w Chicago napewno odwiedzę to miejsce. read more

I stumbled across this cafe because I needed some coffee and a small bite to eat before an appointment. I had some time to kill, so I checked out my Yelp bookmark list and this was one of the places that popped up that was nearby. The cafe was located inside of a strip mall. Parking was plentiful. I walked in and the lady behind the register was speaking Polish with another lady. Moments lady, the customer left and the lady behind the register and I greeted one another. I asked her about the paczki's and asked about flavors they offered. She said they had one flavor, which was a mixture of raspberry, plum and rose. Sounded delicious, so I said I would try one. She went into the back and about 30 seconds later, came out with a paczki that was nicely packed up to go. I didn't realize that they had a $6 minimum for cards, so I inquired about other items they had. I figured I could grab $6 worth of bakery items and share them with friends or coworkers, but the lady told me that it was okay and that I could try the paczki and came back again to order more. I declined the offer because I felt bad, but she insisted. It was very sweet of her and left a good impression. The paczki was delicious - very fluffy, not too sweet, and the filling was delicious (as anticipated). I will definitely be back to try more items. I'm interested in trying their lunch items. read more

Good stew with dumplings which is what I always buy. Ample size portion. Pick out some cake to go with for dessert. Wish they would reintroduce the cake pieces for an assortment. read more

Food was outstanding and reasonable.! Loved it! It was crowded but didn't have too wait long at all. Definitely going back!

I was driving by for work and saw the reviews had to check it out. Worth the stop the soup of the day was delicious and light. The lady who served me was amazing. The coffee was great I regret not getting a pastry. If I'm in the area I have to go back for the sweets. read more

The best polish paczki in the city. The taste is phenomenal and look very good. The good tip is to have them fresh right of the oven. I would recommend a cap of coffee as a addition. This location works fine and the line is not long. You can order for pick up. Very convenient and accessible location. The staff is friendly and polite. read more

Despite the language barrier, we're definitely going back to this quaint Polish eatery. The rose flavored paczkis were amazing. The hostess/waitress was kind. read more

The food was overpriced for the quality. We had beef goulash over a potato pancake. The pancake tasted like a plain flour pancake. The goulash was good but sparse and could have had more vegetables. Won't come back here. read more

If only I lived next door to Polish Pączki Cafe!! These are even better than my babcia's pączki! That's saying something!

Definitely will be back!! read more

Food was ok, had the pork tenderloin special. The pork was flavorful but a little dry. I chose the dumplings as a side they were very " gummy " many not cooked long enough? The sauerkraut was very good reminds me of my late aunts. read more

Not my favorite anymore. Paczki are much better in Shop and Safe store. The ones I bought here were hard, very little filling,

Missed our connecting flight so overnight in Chicago. Make lemonade out of lemons, so Polish food eases the pain. Cafe was near the hotel. Even at 2 pm pretty much full. Wife and I did the splitsies. Meatball and potato dumplings and kielbasa, kraut and mashed potatoes. So tasty. Meatballs were great and dumplings a bit on the heavy side covered with great sauce. Kielbasa was good a bit dense with mushrooms and onions. Kraut really good with mashed potatoes. Fruit drink tasty. And paczki to go. Other interesting Polish dishes like stuffed cabbage and potato pancakes. Maybe next trip will give them a try. Great little neighborhood ethnic cafe the type that makes Chicago a great city. read more

Strongly recommend!!! I've been here 3 times since it opened. I think it tastes significantly better than Old Warsaw because the orders are made fresh and the quality is consistent .(Old Warsaw was amazing but there is no compare) I like their flaczki (beef tripe soup), placek po węgiersku (Hungarian pancake) and kotleta schabowy a lot. The gulasz on top Has a strong smoky flavor from the paprika and the meat is tender and juicy. The placek is crispy outside and soft inside, indeed amazing just by itself. The pączki and makowiec (poppy seed cake) and are also great. Their kompot is homemade with pear and blueberry at least and very flavorful, the best one i had in Chicago. In comparison the coffee is not that great. The handwritten menu on the blackboard is in Polish at all time, but the staffs are helpful if you don't speak Polish. The menu on the table also has English translation. So language isn't a problem for any average English speaker. read more

But it's worth the wait. solid polish food. you'll be hungry again in a week! Prices very reasonable too for the size of the servings they give. read more

I tried their Paczki for the first time today and am now hooked. They came out of the back, still warm. They only offer one kind: a blended fruit filling with some lemon peel on top. But they are amazing. Light and fluffy and absolutely worth the line I stood in on Fat Tuesday. I was also happy to see a few meal options there and will be returning for dinner in the near future. read more

The food was super authentic and at a very good price for the portion size. I will definitely be back! Super delicious and filling read more

They make the best polish donuts you will ever find in Chicago. I recently visited Poland, went to few popular bakeries and none of them were as good as this place. Coffee and other sweets are top notch! read more

I ordered Kolaczki and they were super fresh and delicious! Will order again!

Really authentic place, if you're into Polish pastries then this is the spot for it! They have a credit card minimum so cash is king, but honestly it's worth it, the pączki are fire read more

Someone just brought a dozen paczkis into work and there was a scramble to get them before they ran out. Never had one this good!

Ah-mazing! The paczki are not only the best in Chicago but their food is outstanding as well. I have tried the pierogi, schnitzels, and potato pancakes and everything has been fresh and delicious. It tastes like my babcia made it (that's polish for grandma). Everything is home made and you can tell that they care about the quality of ingredients. Love Polish Paczki cafe! read more
