    Very fun and festive environment on Paczki day! I arrived around 9:40 PM and the line was two hours.....but don't fret- there is plenty of entertainment and the staff brings you beer and pastries and kielbasa to enjoy while you are waiting. Lots of polka music, dancing, and a very festive environment. I've been to Mobile for Fat Tuesday celebrations and what we do in northeast Ohio is so very different and unique in its own right.....I'm not sure that one is better than the other. Just different. And frankly I like paczikis better than king cakes. (Don't tell my New Orleans friends that!) I hadn't planned on being at Rudy's that long and I don't know if I would do it again on this particular day, but I would go back on a regular day to purchase their baked goods. 100%. The "pounch-Kees" were delicious and I brought some to my parents too. They especially loved the savory one with the sauerkraut and sausage. The sweet ones were all good and I especially loved the Porco hurricane flavor. The Malley's one was good, but it was very rich. I could only eat small bites at a time. Seriously, all of them are good. You can't go wrong.

    Isn't this amazing? Lots of filling, light, flaky, tasty crust.

    Rudy's is an excellent find! I just moved here from Chicago and I've actuallly heard of Rudy's before I moved! Ridge Road in Parma is a tough place to drive through, you've got a string of really great pastry shops/bakeries. Rudy's certainly sets the standard along with Colozza's. But they both have their specialties. Here's why: Their signature strudel pastry is light and flaky but still very tastey. It's rolled thin and the filling is good. I had the cherry strudel and it was tart, but not too tart. They choose to top it with a dusting of powdered sugar. The flavors of the pastry and filling are beautifully balanced. On a whim, I puchased the last piece of their coffee cake. I ate it as I was driving home, and it was so good, I turned around before I got to 480 and bought another one! Granted, they were out so I purchased a rasberry danish instead. They don't skimp on the toppings of nuts, fruit, cheese, or sugar drizzle. Both were extremely moist and every bite provided the full experience of flavor of each of the ingredients. They weren't crowded at the center or poorly distributed. This is an old world bakery that deserves to thrive for generations to come to be sure!

    Recently moved to the area and I saw the collaboration with Malley's chocolates that made my wife and I really want to try Rudy's out. I first stopped over on Tuesday of last week and waited in line about 20mins to submit a pre-order form for Friday. I would have submitted online but they didn't have an electronic form to submit or even over the phone but I couldn't get through. I work about 20mins away, so I drove over during my lunch. Friday came along, which seems like the day everyone wanted to pick up or had placed pre-orders for. Factoring in the 40min round trip and 1.5 hour wait, it was very late to return to work as I only get an hour lunch. Unfortunately, after work was not an option. I marked down a star for service because the amount of people wasn't better managed with a different system than 2 registers and packing as people placed new orders in. Pre-orders I expected to be able to grab, pay, and go. But service outside of the wait was extremely polite and friendly. When it comes to the food, they absolutely nailed it! The paczkis were extremely fresh and soft. The fillings were also super fresh. My wife's favorite was the Boston Crème. I loved the Malley's chocolate toffee. We also got one filled with sausage and peppers. And I lastly got a strawberry bar. Very fresh and excellent tasting baked goods. Would I go back? Yes! Would I wait in line again for an hour and a half and be late going back to work? No

    Ate here today with my parents and sister to try this place out for quick bites and trying out Polish sweets and pastries for the first time. We had definitely brought different kinds of kolachki to share together to at least satisfy our taste. It was definitely great and delicious. The service there was also attentive. Finally, I will come back again next time when I visit Cleveland.

    Aaaaahmazing dessert style Paczki's. I was not a huge fan of the two savory I tried ( bacon and egg, and another I do not recall). The service was amazing and you cannot ask for a more joyous hostess than Lidia. Beautiful selection of pastries, perigees, and swag! I'm a new customer but I WILL be a repeat customer.

    Paczki boxes!

    Yummy & delicious paczki! This popular bakery in the Cleveland area offers unique paczki flavors that I hadn't seen before. Tried a coconut one and it was really good. The shell was fresh, had a good taste and a fantastic filling! Can't review the other flavors I purchased cause the family found these delicacies as soon as I got home. Let's just say the box of paczki is empty, and there are happy bellies in my home. The staff here was friendly, helpful and worked very efficiently to take care of the customers who were in line for their paczki. The checkout process was quick too.

    Cut mine in half to show how much filling there is!

    Well, I went and got my Paczki's at Rudy's and this is what I'll tell ya. If you like TONS of filling, you'll love Rudy's! Their Paczki's are all filling and barely any pastry. Delicious filling though.

    Freshest baked breads

    Yum, yum yum! You know a place is good when you pick up fresh pierogis that are still warm. If you are in need of cookies and anything bake good related, this is your one stop shop! The smells are so wonderful as you walk into the bakery. The staff is super friendly and have the most amazing smiles, make me instantly feel so welcomed. You need to get there early for their food to go because it goes fast.

    Are their frozen pierogies already cooked?

    Yes they are. If your pierogis are frozen you would need to let them sit out in-till not frozen then fry them in butter/onions or oil .

    Do you take the ebt card?

    No they do not.

Tucked away in a little plaza is this gem and they have a large variety of baked goods and homemade items to choose from. They have breads, bakery, packaged foods/items, and hot lunch foods as well. They also have homemade dog treats which I really enjoyed. With this being my first time, the lady behind the counter was so lovely and helped me pick out a few different items to try as well as informing me of what all the baked goods were. I ended up getting the breakfast danish, an apricot danish, and a cinnamon glazed twirl stick. The bakery danish was interesting as it had a hard boiled egg inside of it and was topped with cheese and bacon. It was delish and it was nice to see something unique as a breakfast option. I felt the cinnamon twist was a bit dry but that could just be the type of bakery item it is. The apricot danish was nice, not sure if their filling is homemade or not but it tasted like most apricot fillings I have had. The bakery was tasty, I would not say I would go out of my way for any of the things that I tried but if I was in the area again I would definitely peak in to see what they have in the case for the day. Regardless, it is a cute place with lots of charm and you can tell the owners and staff genuinely care about their customers. I love supporting smaller businesses, bakeries and cafes so if i am in the area I will for sure come back and definitely try a bread or muffin next time.

    They made an amazing cake for my daughters birthday. I have never been disappointed with any of…read moretheir baked goods! I will recommend them to anyone I know
