    Polonia Bakery
    Anton K.

    Established in 1957, the Polonia bakery is a family owned and operated traditional Polish bakery. They feature Polish Easter bread, babka, paczki, strudels, layered rum cake and other Polish favorites. Their baked goods are made from scratch with authentic quality ingredients and are delicious. My only criticism is that the paczki could use more filling. While all their products are good, the star of the show is their breads which are fabulous. The rye bread is exceptional and is sold in many stores throughout New Jersey and NYC. Multigrained bread and other varities of breads are available. They are closed Mondays and street parking is hit or miss.

    Famous Layered Rum cake.

    For as far back as I can remember my family has always purchased the infamous layered rum cake from Polonia Bakery for celebrating Orthodox Easter. 50+ years later and it is still sold here. Pulling up to the best bakery of my childhood, it is sadly showing its age, it is rundown looking, and almost stands alone on a street that used to be a main shopping thoroughfare in Passaic. The cake, it's just not the same! Lacks the flavors it once had and hardly any nuts or rum. Each layer another flavor, pineapple, cream , hazelnuts, raspberry jam and the bottom a thick better than graham cracker like base to hold up all the layers. Although it is still decent enough, sadly just doesn't live up to the treasured past Easter memories with my Babushka!

    Cream roll and Paczkis.

    I felt the acclaimed Paczki's were quite average. They had a slight soggy texture to them, as if slightly oversaturated with the glaze, and I was surprised how pretty small they were. Maybe the time of the day (1:30PM or so) had something to do with it, but they didn't taste that fresh. My sister's cream roll was average too. The spiraled sugar dusted shell was disappointing. The shell's pastry was slightly chewy and bland; I felt in needed a bit more sweetness or maybe more richness. The cream filling was pretty good though ; a bit reminiscent of a cannoli cream filling with a good level of sweetness and vanilla flavor. Polonia maybe worth another try if I can get fresher offerings?
