    'Pączki' from Mazurek's look great! They are cover with good amount of delicious glaze and the texture is perfect. It costs $1.20 each.
    Anna W.

    I was looking for the best 'pączki' in town. Since we can't travel to Canada, I had only a few ideas about where to find real, traditional Polish baked goods in Buffalo. I don't usually look for them, but this time I truly wanted to look for 'pączki' and share some thoughts. Damn you Yelp! Imagine that. Mazurek's bakes all kinds of goods since 1933. My food snob friend says, they have the best rye bread in the Buffalo area. They still use "a brick oven with a steam boiler that was installed in the '30s. The steam is used to provide the famous rye bread with a nice firm outside crust while being perfectly soft and moist on the inside of the loaf." I think, also their secret is to make everything with heart. I saw only smiley faces and experienced warm greetings. It's not an elegant place. They focus on offering Polish-style breads, cakes, cookies and pastries at reasonable prices. Hopefully by sticking to traditional recipes, they won't change under a new ownership. About their 'pączki', I have to say, they met my expectations in most of the categories. The size was just right, about a hundred grams, not too big. They were nicely covered with a delicious shiny film of rum glaze. The color also was just right, golden brown with a visible lighter ring around the middle. I like how dense and spongy they were. The shape wasn't exactly consistent. So, I asked the person at the counter to give me the prettiest ones. Some were too flat, some had too much filling which I wasn't a big fan of. Their traditional black raspberry filling is too similar to regular donuts -- over processed and gooey. It was still good, and I'm sure most customers will find it perfectly delicious. The price is very attractive, only $1.20 per each sweet goodness. Buy a half or full dozen and the price is even lower. I know where I'll go next time, if I need a loaf of bread. I already picture a perfect Reuben sandwich with homemade dressing and slowly cooked sauerkraut with gold, sauteed onion.

    Be Happy go to Mazurek's Bakery!!! You will be greeted with a warm smile and wonderful bakery smells. A family owned shop with unique items based on their Polish heritage. If you're a fan of rye bread you won't find any better!!! The experience will have me making the drive over from Niagara Falls again

    I stopped here for "the best paczki in town"... and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be going back. It's a small shop on South Park in the First Ward. Very friendly service. It's inexpensive for all that you get and it is very delicious. The paczki was so good. Like, SO GOOD. I am going to make it a tradition to go back every year!

    Love this neighborhood bakery !! The smell will draw you in and make you forget what you even came in to order. Can I recommend literally everything they make?! From pastries to donuts to pies and breads, it's a dream in there. The owners and staff are very sweet. Then you cash out + it's extremely inexpensive for what they offer. A truly hidden historic gem in the OFW. Make them part of your family or work traditions. They bake with love for sure.

    Driving down S Park Avenue just look for this sign.

    This is a real old school Polish bakery in the Old First Ward South Buffalo neighborhood just outside of downtown. The Mazurek's have been running this place since the 1930s but its been a bakery since the 1890s. The one must get item if you make the trek here is the fresh made rye bread. Oh my gosh the bread is so good. Its great for making sandwiches or toast or whatever you want and they'll slice it for you or you can buy it non sliced if you want. In addition to the rye bread pretty much anything you buy here is going to be good. Their custard doughnuts were great and their pastry hearts (a Buffalo speciality) I'd recommend as well. They do paczki (pronounced poonch-key) on certain days (check their website to see which days) which are basically giant Polish doughnuts. Its in the city so they don't have a parking lot but this isn't a very busy area of Buffalo so you shouldn't have problem finding a spot to park right in the front of the bakery on S Park Avenue. This place is definitely a Buffalo classic in my mind so be sure to check it out!

Just as I was about to go in the place must have caught fire. Yikes! A man was leaving the bakery with as many loaves of bread as he could carry. I investigated. Sure enough, the store was filled with firemen. I couldn't get in. It turns out the firemen were buying a lot of baked goods. Whew! And the guy carrying all the loaves of bread was a caterer. He bought 50 loaves of Luigi's delicious bread. He explained he was catering a 50th wedding anniversary, and the celebrants wanted a loaf of Luigi's bread for each of their 50 years. I'm not kidding! I bought only 4 loves of bread. They were out of my favorite - sesame seeded Italian so I had to go with plain. They have a trick with their bread. They don't use preservatives, so you have to eat it within 2 days and then go back for more. It's a trap! They were out of almond and poppy seed strudel thingys, so I settled for apple, blueberry and cherry. I tried the lemon cake and it's great. But my favorite thing was the almond cake. Absolutely dreamy. It didn't make it home because I stopped at a friend's house on the way home to share some. All I got was just one slice. And I ate that before I had a chance to take its picture.

Cuccidati Inc. had a booth at the event ... and they had me at the word "cuccidati". :-D LOVE these cookies! If you are unfamiliar, cuccidati are iced-and-sprinkled fig-filled Italian cookies. They're like a soft, delectable, gourmet, top-shelf, high-class, prettier Fig Newton, but way better, haha. Whenever I see an Italian cookie spread at a gathering, I always b-line for dibbs on the cuccidati. And Cuccidati Inc.'s cuccidati did not disappoint! These were a bit different from cuccidati I've had before. They weren't quite as sweet, not as thick-white of an icing as usual. And the filling seemed more natural, like more purely fig, as opposed to the more artificial extract flavor of some cuccidati. I do like the creamier cuccidati filling I'm used to, with more of a jam consistency. But these were good too, you could feel chewy bits of real fig fruit in each bite. If you prefer a cookie that isn't too rattle-your-teeth-sweet, you will probably enjoy Cuccidati Inc.'s cookies very much. We spoke with the owners when we were at the fresh-air market, and they were very sweet and friendly. They of course bake their namesake, but also bake many other cookies too. They don't have their own storefront, they sell by order, or at local venues and events. They are on the shelves at Buffalo Artisan Food Traders (https://www.yelp.com/biz/buffalo-artisan-food-traders-buffalo), so if you have a hankering for some delicious cuccidati, stop by there to grab a pack. Or check Cuccidati Inc.'s Facebook page for other upcoming local appearances - https://www.facebook.com/cuccidati.org - and mangia! :-D
