This old-world bakery has been delivering tasty treats to area visitors since 1984. Kiedrowski's Bakery is home to the "World-Famous Snoogle," a Polish puff pastry wrapped in sweetened cream cheese and topped with a vanilla butter-bean glaze. They also sell Polish paczki during lent. In addition, you'll find plenty of traditional treats, including pastries, donuts, cookies, and breads. Kiedrowski's was voted "Best Bakery in America" in 2011, and they've won many other awards over the years. Visiting this bakery is just like stepping into your Grandmother's kitchen. Once you have a taste of their amazing treats, you'll wish you had found this local gem sooner. 

Fall in Love with Flavor!
