Roly Poly Bakery — Restaurant in New Britain

My fam loves this place. The products are fresh and fully stocked on shelves. They often run out of bread and certain popular desserts, so you have to go early, in order to find what you're looking for. Which shows how popular and busy they are. Generally, the staff is always friendly and willing to help. There have been a few of them that act as if they can't hear you or truly, they don't want to be there and they speak their language, keep their heads down and walk away so for that reason I am disappointed sometimes, otherwise, we love buying items from here and trying new things. The cash area is always quick and they do accept cash, debit and credit. They have a minor drink area with imported beer. They also sell a few basic produce too. As soon as you walk in, to your left, you will see a restaurant and they have a seating area to get a sandwich and or sit to read a newspaper, etc. They also make brewed coffee there as well. They have two counters for deli meat. One in the front beside the desserts and cheese section and the second area is to the back, where they have homemade cuts back there and I'd suggest going there to see what they have also. Rewlly good stuff!!! A person will come out to help you and to freshly cut whatever you need. Beside that back area of deli meats, they have a hot counter of assorted ready-to-eat food items and it differs every day and they also have a salad bar with main popular Polish salads, predominantly made of cabbage, beets and or assorted veggies, etc.

Overall, we tried a few of their ready-to-go foods and depending on your preferences, they have a wide variety of foods ready to go. Combos are worth it! We definitely hit up the salad bar area and the deli for freshly cut meats. They have a vast dairy section and a whole other area with assorted products. A section for tea, desserts, cookies, drinks, etc. It's a fully stocked store and I guarantee if you've never been there before, you will need at least 1 or 2 hours, reading what things are and seeing things you've probably never seen before. A lot of it comes from Europe and most items are literally not even in English so you have to see by the pictures, what they are. Reasonably priced overall!! It's a fun and cultural experience if you are not Polish and definitely a lot of delicious things to try. I think you should give it a try and know that they are very clean there. The hours are shorter than other stores so be careful and mindful of that. They are CLOSED MONDAYS, fyi!! Open Tuesday-Friday from 7am-7pm and Saturday, they close at 6:30pm and Sunday, they close at 2:00pm. We love their cheese and apple danishes or streusels ... OMG! Soooo good!!! Check them...

This Polish Market Roly Poly Bakery is actually a "gourmet market" hiding in a red brick building on the corner of the New Britain Polish District. It has everything..! There are 3 different specialty counters. #1) Bakery with 8 kinds of fresh bakery rolls & old fashioned breads, 20 different gourmet cakes available by the slice or whole. 20 plus special pastries, croissants, muffins anders Paczki Polish donuts. #2) Fresh Hot Polish lunch/dinner foods counter for meals to go. & #3) Specialty deli carrying 40 different kinds of European hams, smoked meats, smoked and cured sausages and bacon. The foodie/chef who appreciated unique ingredients will love using these ethnic specialty meats. My "Italian fettuccine carbonara" secret is using smoked Polish ham instead of Italian prosciutto. ( Shhh..it's way better!) There are so many kinds of unique cheeses, sausages, kielbasa that ate perfect for a charcuterie board before Friday wine. The fresh fruits and vegetables and cabbages are there too.. Beers from Poland and Europe. Parking is available for 40 cars in the parking lot next to the building and it is safe. Located across from the large New Britain CT, Red Brick Saint Mary Catholic church; you will find lots of people going after mass to get kids donuts so it is kid friendly. Handicap accessible as it is 1st floor with electric sliding doors. There is a small coffee sitting area inside if you want to enjoy your pastry treat onsite. Secret places this good as Roly Poly Bakery should NOT be a secret. Any Polish person from Europe will feel at home but, the immaculate quality of stacked foods (Pickles, saurkrauts, coleslaws) from Europe will make your BBQ Summer meals shine brighter! Once you make homemade eggs Benedict over smoked Polish ham you will not want to go out to breakfast at a restaurant again. Roly Poly Bakery. It's a lttle hard to find, the 1st time but, easy to...

I was very surprised by this place. I had seen them on local TV and they looked very good, so I traveled the 50 miles from my home to try them out. As I walked into the store I was very excited by the sheer size & how clean it was inside. Now not being of Polish decent I was not sure of the name of the item I was in for I only knew it as a Polish doughnut turns out it is called a Pączki. So as I approached the center of the store, thats where they have the deli & bakery counters combined. Of the 4 people working not one was in a hurry to put down the food they were eating & help me. Finally the older woman who was waiting on a customer at the deli counter had to tell one of the girls to help me she was not happy but did as told and did it with a attitude so big that I was scared to ask her more questions. I did manage to find out that the Pączki are considered pastries & are sold for $.90 each and not in dozen or 1/2 dozen like other shops. The cookies are sold per piece as well and not by the pound like the bakeries I grew up around. I could have given this place a pass for bad customer service everyone has bad days, but when I checked my order I found finger marks in the chocolate and not small ones these were deliberate. I cut into the Pączkis and found them to be very dry like day old and void of almost any fillings. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this place. Far to many other places out there that want your business, and have fresh...
