Love this place. It feels like a Greenpoint institution. Proper cakes that taste like somebody actually cares about baking, almost homemade, with a big selection and friendly service.
The interior's funny; I don't know why they tried to go for a tropical theme for a Polish bakery, but whatever. It makes it even more unique and quirky. I hope they never change.

Extremely expensive compared to other bakeries nearby
One of those underrated places that makes you wonder why! Just come here once and get anything and you'll be coming back for more. This is genuinely my go-to spot for pastries. Nothing is overly sweet. The workers are always polite and welcoming.
The chocolate rum truffles are incredibly rich and moist. So chocolaty and satisfying. Another favorite of mine is the round shortbread pastries filled with delicious vanilla pudding with either blueberries or raspberries. The shortbread crust is a work of art. I also always get the cheesecake (the one without the apples on top). It’s so good that I prefer to enjoy it on its own, without any added flavors.. it really stands on its own.
Apparently, the owner flies to France frequently to study baking, and that passion shows in the pastries.
I guess it’s not as popular as it should be because of the space itself. It’s not really the kind of place you sit and relax with your coffee and pastry. The tables line the wall, right next to the line of waiting customers, and are usually occupied by elderly regulars who’ve long finished their pastries and sit for hours reading newspapers and chatting.
That said, McCarren Park is just steps away, so you can always take your treats there and enjoy these precious delicacies in a more scenic setting!
