It is celebrated the Thursday in the week before Ash Wednesday, whose tradition is unique since it dates back to at least the Middle Ages, and is the perfect excuse to eat the famous and delicious Polish pastry. Pączki, pronounced "poonch-key," are Polish deep-fried donuts that are filled with some sweet filling such as jam, custard, lemon curd, or chocolate. They are usually covered with powdered sugar, icing, glaze, or dried orange zest. Located on Jewell Street in Garfield, we've been coming here to Kohout Bakery for a couple of years. Greeted by the friendly staff, my partner and I were lucky to have the whole establishment to ourselves. Like a step back in time, this small bakery sells freshly made bread, danishes, cookies, strudel, and some deli meats. Patrons have raved about the perfect balance of flavors, particularly noting the distinction between glazed and powdered jelly varieties. We picked out a couple of their donuts, whose price was very reasonable and cash only. This bakery continues to celebrate the joy of baking and the flavors of generations past, which we can recommend.

Before, I took more of the tres leches I had to try it. I am very picky with it since other places don't really know how to make it. It was one of the best I've had. It is the perfect amount of sweetness and had fresh fruits inside. They also have coconut and dulce de leche flavored ones.

They also have beautiful garden seating. I ordered Turkish coffee, fresh grapefruit juice, Gurmanski dorucak, mini burek with spinach and cheese, and fruit cake. I love Turkish coffee and this was very good. The juice was tart and delicious. The breakfast platter was a showstopper. Two fried eggs, tomato, feta, two meat patties, and homemade bread. The flavors of the meat blew my mind. Who knew that Croatians make the most delicious burgers. This is a hearty and fantastic dish. Also, the burek was flaky and light and not very mini. I took home the cake and enjoyed it later. Light, delicate and not overly sweet, this was a star. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you should stop in for any meal. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I can't wait to r

Seating is first-come, first-served, and guests are placed based on availability, which keeps things fair and efficient even during busy times. The tables for two are intimate and cozy, perfect for conversation, though they can become a bit tight when ordering several dishes at once. That said, the staff was attentive and checked in often enough to clear plates and make room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The dessert menu is separate, allowing guests to enjoy their meal at an unhurried pace before deciding on something sweet. Their beverage offerings are thoughtfully presented. Herbal tea options include green tea, chamomile, and English tea (Stash), and the tea is served in a container that provides two full servings. The cappuccino is well made and served with a sugar crystal stick, adding a distinct old-world charm that enhances the café's European feel. I regret not asking for an additional order of Turkish coffee so that's a regret . What we ordered: * Greek Salad - $18.50 * Cappuccino - $6.80 * Herbal Tea - $6.00 * Uštipci - $17.25 * Musaka - $22.95 * Šnicla (Cutlet Sandwich) - $20.75 * 2 Diet Cokes - $8.00 The musaka is a baked dish and does take about 25 minutes to prepare, as it's made fresh with baked eggs, seasoned beef, and sliced potatoes layered on top. The wait is well worth it, resulting in a hearty, comforting dish that tastes authentically homemade. The Šnicla (cutlet sandwich) arrived beautifully presented on a wooden board, adding a rustic, elevated touch that matched the restaurant's aesthetic. Mom felt it lacked in seasoning but she Didnt leave any crumbs . The Uštipci were a standout--served with feta and honey, generously portioned, and so plentiful that we happily took some home. We were too full for dessert this time, but it's absolutely on the list for a return visit. Due to winter weather, we couldn't explore the back of the restaurant, but even from the main dining area, the decor is undeniably charming and full of character. Overall, Cafe Bubamara offers authentic flavors, generous portions, attentive service, and a cozy, old-world atmosphere that makes it a place worth revisiting.

Aside from the traditional alfajores - these also come in a variety of great flavors - like the double chocolate and coffee. The alfajores come in different sizes, from bite-size to large. The cookies are made fresh and the alfajores are put together as you order them. The owner is super sweet, welcoming, and a talented baker. She is continuously changing up the menu and adding new items. They also offer savory items like their empanadas. Just like the cookie of the alfajore, the crust on the empanada is soft and delicious. The menu continues to grow and more desserts are added as well. They also offer cakes and small personal size desserts. Their tres leches is also really good. They offer party size displays of cookies, or their smaller treats can make great gifts. This is my favorite place to come if I want to gift someone a sweet treat or go to a gathering without showing up empty handed. They also offer cute gift boxing, which really makes them the perfect gift. Everyone who I have gifted treats from Gigi's has also fell in love with them!

I picked up 15 mini cannolis for $1.25 each for my coworkers plus one zeppole for myself. Zeppole was a little stale and cold, as it was sitting out with nothing covering it, but hey this wasn't carnival-style anyway. According to my coworkers, the mini cannolis were nice and fresh with a hint of lemon, but were lacking in chocolate chips. The man behind the counter filled them on the spot, so I can imagine how fresh they tasted. They also sold candies and packaged chocolate off to the side. Some brands were familiar, like Baci Perugina chocolate and panettone, but there were some Eastern European chocolates on the other side of the store that seemed interesting.
