It was the day after Paczki Day (if you know, you know) and these folks were still serving delicious, house made baked goods with smiles on their faces. I asked if they had any paczki left. Rookie mistake. I could see yesterday's frenzy flash before her eyes. Yet she playfully laughed & politely said no, so I ordered a cherry turnover & dipped. It was flaky, gooey, fresh, immaculate -- everything you'd want out of a turnover. Basically an adult toaster strudel that was made with a little more love & a lot less preservatives. I mean, look at her! The shop felt like standing in your Oma's kitchen while she slaved away to keep you overly fed at all times. So so homey & wholesome.

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!

As I turned the corner onto Forest Ave my heart sank. There was a Buffalo fire department truck in…read morefront of the store and people were standing outside. Oh no! 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.

The Hello Dollies were absolutely delicious those were a definite highlight. Unfortunately, the cupcakes weren't what I was hoping for. I can't pinpoint exactly what was missing, but the flavors just didn't stand out to me the way I expected. I did try to ask a few questions about wedding tastings while I was there, but the worker helping me didn't seem very enthusiastic or willing to offer much guidance. Since this is such an important part of planning my wedding, that part of the experience felt a bit disappointing. Overall, while I was really rooting for this to be "the place" especially since it's a big and popular bakery I don't feel confident moving forward with them for my wedding desserts. I truly wanted to love everything, but the tasting just didn't click for me.

This place is dangerous, and by that I mean big back playground. One thing that vexes my spirit is…read morea sweet treat that wasn't worth the caloric intake. Ohlson's is worth it! From the mini cakes, custom cakes, and cupcakes, you can NOT go wrong. My go to is the killer chocolate cupcake. The ambiance is a cross between your grandma's living room and a neighborhood cafe. There's breads, coffees, specialty drinks, cakes, cookies, pastries, and to go cakes. The service ranges from stellar to ok. On average, pretty good. I've never been disappointed with my treats and I'm a bit of a bake good snob as I'm a home baker myself. I live no where near here and don't mind a drive here for a great treat to self indulge or to share. Check them out!

We discovered Cuccidati Inc. at last weekend's fresh-air Valentine's Day Market at Buffalo Artisan…read moreFood Traders. 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
