    Got this at Gost Coffee in New Lenox Packzi from Racine Bakery Chocolate falling off, not much filling Tasteless

    Fresh strawberry paczki
    Dan W.

    Not gonna lie, I looked up how to pronounce "paczki" before I walked in because I didn't want to look like an idiot. It's pronounced "POONCH-key." This is an adorable Lithuanian and Polish bakery in the MDW area. They have all sorts of European sweets as well as donuts, eclairs, and American fare. The first think that caught my eye was the paczkis, stuffed donuts with fillings like apricot, blueberry, rose hip, raspberry, and fresh strawberry. The fresh strawberry one ($2.99) was amazing, like a strawberry shortcake. The pastry itself was light and crisp on the outside, and the filling and cream was perfectly sweet. So, so, good! Note that they do have a $5 minimum to use card. Just buy more paczkis!

    About a 1-1.5: I've been meaning to try Racine Bakery for a while, but our recent visit left much to be desired. Maybe it was an off day when we went, but we were pretty disappointed. This bakery offers various breads, cakes, tortes, pastries, cookies, ragoulis, various apps, salads, hot veggies, a deli counter, and catering services. They also have a small grocery section. There were no paczkis when we were there, and their cookie section was pitiful. There were some wrapped bread trays, but they didn't look fresh. No one offered to help or provide any assistance. We were in and out within a couple of minutes. Limited street parking in front of the bakery available. +non-existent service +limited selection +street parking in front of bakery

    If you are in the area, you have to stop and visit this Polish bakery. The paczki, cakes, cookies, bacon buns and sweets are all very good. So much to choose from. Yes they have paczki's all year around. They have a deli section of hot foods. So much to try as well and all very good. We like the liver & onions, cabbage rolls, chicken rolls and potato pancakes. Check the website for the weekly specials.

    Conte Di Savoia - Italian Sub Sub

    On a busy Saturday, I decided to order ahead for myself and my hangry kids. We ordered Italian,…read moretuna and prosciutto subs. We also threw in an order of tiramisu and the large canoli. We were quoted a time of 20 minutes out. We arrived a little early and the gal at the counter told us it would be a few minutes. She called out when ready and sat at one of the tables in the front to eat. Each sub had a decent amount of filling. While we each offered the smallest subs, we were plenty full when we left. We enjoyed our subs and now have a place to add to our list for a new quick lunch. For the store itself, they have some odds and ends but many Italian staples. The counter and deli had a steady flow of customers in and out.

I decided to cross over & check out this old world Italian Deli. Conti Di Savoia is small Italian grocery store w/an Italian deli that has w/outstanding & inexpensive sandwiches. When I went in there was a line of people waiting @ the deli counter waiting to place their order. I must have looked confused because the owner directed me & told the line started on the other side towards the back of the store. What I found was an awesome of fresh handmade sandwiches for a very reasonable price. I ordered an 8" pastrami w/mozzarella cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, red onions, mayo, & Italian oil drizzled. What I got was an awesome inexpensive sandwich loaded with/fresh ingredients. Absolutely delicious. After I got my sandwich the owner (I introduced myself (I think his name was Mike) rang up the sandwich. He said they have been there for 35 years. There's also a small dining area in the front of the store where I sat & devoured my sandwich. Like I said this is small Italian store w/a nice selection of products like meats, cheeses, pastas, wine, olive & deli items. I throughly enjoyed finding Conte Di Savoia. The pastrami sandwich was awesome w/a generous portion of pastrami & toppings for a reasonable price. I'm the type of person who who loves finding new places to eat. Most times unless I find great food & reasonable prices I won't go back but I feel like I found a real gem W/Conti Di Savoia. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN.

It came as a great recommendation! We didn't have it for a while since we live the low-carb life but were thrilled to learn they do a "sub in a tub". I love their tuna salad/sub. Their bread is soft, back when I could eat it. They don't overfill it with mayo either and add some mild peppers or hot on request. I like that they don't have onions at the deli so it doesn't overpower everything else. My husband typically loves the club. They rolled a generous amount into a container and I used scissors to quickly and easily cut it. It was a perfect lunch and I have enough for another tomorrow! For $8, or $11 for a generous tuna scoop, you can't beat it. Staff is also quick and friendly at the deli, as well as checkout. You can find all kinds of things for the house or to gift someone whether it's food, a cookie jar, something imported from Italy, or a homemade meal. You'll find something for everyone.
