Amazing independent bakery. Staff went above and beyond to help me. Will be back to try the Perogies. Thank you again
xI’ve been to Krakow and missed out on the polish dumplings. Been meaning to try the bakery for a long while but today I made the visit. A selection of dumplings purchased as well as an olive loaf. Dumplings were superb. All of them. Really filling as well. Shop smells lovely of freshly baked bread. Really nice bakery, nice goods in offer and the team are really friendly. Can’t wait to try the bread..
