Tucked into a busy stretch of Lawrence Avenue on Chicago’s Northwest Side sits a small bakery that treats Polish classics with real respect. Delightful Pastries makes kolaczki, paczki, and fresh bread the old-fashioned way, and folks in Jefferson Park line up for it. There’s no glossy chain polish here, just a Polish, French, and American bakery that has been serving classic treats to the neighborhood for years. Visitors who come for their Polish favorites lump the kolaczki right in with the paczki as the classic treats that keep them coming back. Croissants That Quietly Steal the ShowFor a Polish bakery, the croissants here have earned a shockingly big following, showing up in reviews more than forty times.
