If you are a lover of the exotic, Kielbasa is not to be missed. The walls are lined with the products of Poland, Russia, Germany, and Georgia. There are relishes, sauces, and wines (no vodka 😔, this is Virginia) , and pickled made from stuff you didn't know could be pickled! They have half a dozen kinds of pierogies--be still my ♥ heart--I'm in love! Plus what appears to be frozen blitzes but are labeled as crepes. They have Kinder Eggs and a large selection of European candy and snacks. There are also a choice selection of cased meats, sausages, and cheeses, and of course, Kielbasa.
Know your prices. Given the quality, selection and the imported products, I was not outraged by the prices.
Do check expiration dates, this stuff is imported, at a small store with less turn, but remember expiration is a "best by" date, it doesn't mean the food cannot be consumed, only that it might not be as crunchy, moist, or perfect as otherwise. Caveat Emptor and use good judgment.
The staff is pleasant, nice, and they do their best to be helpful, but English might not be their first language. If you don't speak Polish or Russian be patient with them and yourself. This also functions as a corner store for the neighborhood behind it and I've noted that they are very kind to the children who come for candy and soda. Not every special store is kind to children who might not be their preferred clientele. You can measure a business (or anyone else) by how they treat those with no power and little money. These are good people doing their best to run a good store.
In a tourist town of Best Kept Secrets, this is a secret among secrets. I just cannot keep it to myself. Everyone who loves food should know Kielbasa exists and is tucked behind the BBQ joint off the bypass, across from the Golden Corral. Do not let this chance get away from you. Go buy some real pierogis. Taste the exotic, right here in...
Read moreSome articles have production date, please do not confuse with the expiration date. I see that people who can not exist are moving on public media. All complaints are accepted in the store. The problem is if there is nothing to complain about but just want to arise.Goods that are after the date of sale are available at a significantly reduced price. There is no product for sale which is not suitable for consumption.This is not okay if someone makes public complaints without showing evidence of how someone can defend themselves...
Read moreI just want to say I'm from Michigan. Very familiar with the Polish culture and food. I was a little disappointed with a lot of the food that I found here in Virginia. But after going to kielbasa I have to say I have found home there's sausages are excellent. I even was able to buy paczki. The lady that helped it was very very helpful. The sauces that we bought did not make home is was eaten along the way home. Thank you Kim Long we will...
