    This was my first time trying Polish food. The interior was cozy and definitely gave that Eastern European vibe. They change up the menu everyday. We ordered pierogis (cheese and beef) and a cheese blintz I would rate those 8/10. We also ordered the beef tripe soup, which lacked in flavor and seasoning but was nice to try a traditional dish. The service was friendly and they helped with any questions.

    A jelly donut

    Favorite place in Greenpoint to pick up chicken soup! We usually get two quarts at a time. Their chicken soup is super flavorful and comforting especially when you're sick or cold!! Ordered a jelly donut and a variety of mini donuts. I wouldn't really call this a donut. The dough felt more like a bread... like a jelly bread. There wasn't a lot of jelly filling (as seen in the picture) I didn't even end up finishing the mini donuts.

    Almond fantasy $7

    I come here for their pastries. Each quarter slab comes to approximately $7. My favorite by far is the poppy seed layer cake! It's so moist, with layers of custard, poppy seed sponge, and topped with cherry jam(?) and chocolate ganache. Unfortunately they didn't sell them today, so I settled for their almond fantasy cake. It had a jelly-like texture, which was a bit strange. The almond marzipan flavor was spot on, with crunchy walnut bits and fruit mixed inside. Their poppyseed cheesecake and napoleonka are just average and not that memorable.

    I was so happy to find Northside Bakery on my recent trip to Brooklyn. I came to the Greenpoint neighborhood specifically to find Polish food, books, and products, and hopefully have some opportunity to speak Polish in real situations. It's been a while since I was living in Warsaw, and I missed the quality Polish products I used to buy. Originally, I was looking for another store, but I saw Northside's window and thought "OHH, polish bakery and dishes for lunch!" It was perfect for me. I came in out of the rain, warmed up, ate some tasty treats, and had one of my most memorable times on my trip to NYC. I went in looking for something similar to czarny chleb, and the woman serving me suggested the whole rye with sunflower seeds - and this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was so happy with it. The flavor, texture, and size were precisely what I had hoped for. Truly baked in the Polish style, I am unable to find anything like this here in Rochester. The bread was fresh and just perfect! Not very expensive in my opinion either. I also ordered some pierogi with mushroom and cabbage. I wanted to order more, but I wanted to keep within my calorie count too. There was SO much to choose from! The sweets looked so tempting, and the homemade surowki and hot dishes looked amazing. I had coffee - and that was good too! I sat for a while and peopled watched. I listened to the customers and staff talk in Polish, and just enjoyed my time there. When I decided to leave I decided to go back and order some buraczki to go. I finally got up the courage to speak Polish myself, and started up a conversation with another of the ladies and I really felt like they were warm and welcoming and caring and they love what they do. It makes it meaningful when the staff really care about what they do, and I was so happy to be able to share in that. I can't wait to make my way back to Brooklyn someday and visit again! Dziękuję!

    Greenpoint's best chicken soup
    Antoine L.

    This is the place! Bakestone Bakery ( formerly Northside) is THE place for the best prepared home cooked comfort food in Greenpoint. In a rapidly gentrifying hood full of $36/lb cheese and charcuterie arrivistes it dire is nice to have a place nearby where you can take home full home cooked European meals for under $15/head. After hitting beautiful McGolrick Park you come here for a simple meal of fresh pierogis, Greenpoints best chicken and vegetable soups and sweet cheese and fruit filled blintzes. Their chicken cutlets, stuffed cabbage (meat or yummy vegetarian with kasha and mushroom sauce) and vegetable/potato babkas/puddings also terrific. D be another Gentrifying Tool. Support these great, independently owned, small local Polish businesses before they are all gone.

    Location: close to moe's doughnut place but moe fails to get out their rainbow donut at 9...so I am here. It's kinda family version of bakery and polish food place. Local polish people came here for breakfast, and I came here for bakery. Bakery: they have a lot of different kinds bakeries. I went for donut. Like I mentioned, if you are looking for chewy yeast fried donut, this is not your place.. Service...not much service to speak of Price: cheap. 3 STAR

    Green meat...maybe mold?
    Thomas S.

    Go for the green meat...stay for the bad attitude I work in the food industry...and I have never left a bad review of anyplace!....but then again I never recieved green meat...the girls behind the counter are cute...but no patience. I pointed at the glass counter and asked what is that...she said veal...I said great. Unfortunately what she put in the plastic tray is not what I was pointing at....I said sorry thats not the one i wanted...she said no problem looked at me and threw it in the garbage....(not sure why she couldnt just put it back, and throw out the plastic container?) I said whats the one the front..her responce..."not veal"... In any case being made to feel like I wasted their time, I took my mystery meat home...to find it was green....Yep right in the garbage...along w everything else I bought there. Wont be back

    Excellent Easter mazurek (5 stars), strangely dry Easter babka (2 stars). Would definitely come back to try other items though, to be fair.

This is a very authentic Polish restaurant--everything is spotlessly clean and the atmosphere is wonderful. The food was incredibly fresh. We ordered the breaded chicken cutlet, chicken meatballs, and fried chicken roll, all of which were delicious. We were especially grateful that they offer a grilled chicken cutlet; it was perfect for a member of our party with dietary restrictions. Our waitress, Joanna, was the highlight of the night. She is beautiful inside and out, and her attentive, professional service made the celebration seamless. I would also like to say a huge thank you to our bus boy as well. We didn't get his name but he was exceptional to ensure we had everything we needed. Thank you, Joanna, and the whole team for taking such great care of us! We will certainly be back.

Still, the waiter offered to go check for me, and he said they can stay open for my order, which was very nice of them. Soup of the day is goulash.

Goulash is simple, with lots of beef chunks The plate of specialties was a good deal. It was incredibly filling and satisfying to try different Polish dishes on one platter!

We were the only people in the restaurant the entire time, though there were a few delivery orders. The restaurant has a homey interior, with callouts to their historic presence in Bay Ridge. We ordered the chicken klopsiki ($15.65) and the Hungarian pancakes ($20). Each dish comes with a house salad, which consists of red cabbage, sauerkraut, cole slaw, beets, shredded carrots, and lettuce. The salad had nice flavors and tasted fresh! I really enjoyed the chicken klopsiki, which is a chicken meatball. The meatball was moist, and the sauce had a nice flavor, like chicken soup. The only downside was that the mashed potatoes had no flavor and tasted like powdered mashed potatoes. I liked the flavor of the Hungarian pancakes, but the ratio of pancake to filling was heavily skewed toward the pancake, which was just fried potato with minimal flavor. Therefore, I would pass on the pancakes and just get the goulash if I decided to return. Service was okay. When I asked the server for recommendations, she wasn't enthusiastic, but I was asking generally, and I could have been more specific. She left during our meal, and we had to call someone to give us the check. So after giving us the food, service was nonexistent. Overall, I liked some parts of the dishes, but nothing was so amazing that I would be itching to return again!

Once stepping into the store, you are met with large freezers and fridges stuffed to the brim with all things Ukrainian. Many of their dumpling items are in large packages (2-3lbs a pack) and range from $8-$15 per lb depending on the filling. $15 a pound for their lamb and short rib Pierogis. Price-wise, it's very fair! And you can taste to quality and heart they put into these Pierogis. Can't go wrong with any flavor. I got the lamb and it was stuffed with tender lamb pieces, no filler. And they make for great quick meals! I also snagged a box of cabbage rolls stuffed with a pork and rice filling. Simple home-y flavor and better than rolls I've gotten from restaurants. Just reheat and it's ready to go! $15 for 5 large cabbage rolls was a great deal as well! Would get again. The only thing I wouldn't get again is their soup dumplings, as it was a bit difficult to cook and was a little too doughy near the top of the dumpling. Flavor wise, it was delicious and had a nice broth (assuming you didn't pop them. Only 1 didn't pop). But it was a difficult item to cook right in boiling water, like the instructions mention. Perhaps, user error. Every item is sold by weight and labeled after selecting your items. But they're happy to check the weight/explain price before purchasing.
