What a wonderful little treasure. The owners are heartfelt good people, the baked goods are freshly made and of a most superior quality, and I shall return soon.

Wonderful little market with a large variety of European products. It has everything from sauces, to mixes, to packaged baked goods, to fresh baked goods, frozen foods including handmade pierogies, bread, candy, and so much more!The woman running the counter is extremely helpful and took time to answer my questions thoroughly. She was quick to help and patient with other customers who didn't understand how to purchase bulk candy. She also added a little free gift of cookies to our bag which were so good I finished them in the car.Worth a visit whether you already enjoy food from this region or if you're interested in picking out a few new things to try!

Wonderful grocery store with knowledgeable, friendly staff and always with a wide variety of fresh produce. Great selection of authentic/unique cheeses, meats, preserves, breads, and ice cream. They even carry delicacies such as caviar (red and black). Location is easy to find with plenty of parking in front of the store. Definitely worth stopping by because you can find everything you want in this one store!

Eastern European style customer service which would be fine if we were back in the USSR (you don't know how lucky you are, boy) but we are in America and the expectation is that you are nice to customers if you ever want them to come back. The older lady is straight up rude and has a habit of saying inappropriate things, she asked why my sister was so huge compared to her granddaughter. She also asked my Mom if she was a Jew at one point, what kind of a question is that and why the hell does she need to know that information? On top of the extremely culturally inappropriate customer service their products are old and generally pretty terrible - the fermeted goods like the cabbage are often oversalted and old to the point of soggy. I've gotten multiple rancid packs of pickled herrings as well. We stopped going here a while ago even though it's close and the other Eastern European grocery is across town - it's just too unpleasant of an experience.

Service is awesome! Everything is delicious! Amazing selection and an appreciated taste of the old country. The meat is especially excellent, particularly the Double smoked bacon, Canadian bacon and Polish Sausage.
