Roly Poly Bakery
587 Main St, New Britain, CT
Crema's Take
“The paczki here are the real deal—fluffy, jammy, and nothing like the sad supermarket versions—so get there early before they sell out of your favorite flavors. This is a proper Polish bakery and deli counter wrapped inside a grocery store, so you can grab babka, pierogis, and stuffed cabbage alongside your coffee, and the whole place genuinely feels like you've stepped into Poland. It's family-friendly and quick, with English-speaking staff, though you might be the only non-Polish speaker in the room.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Love their bakery goods! Get your authentic pazcki here. I got raspberry, strawberry, rose and plum- filled (they were sold out of the cream filled by the time I got there). I also love the layered desserts they make, as well. Yum!
Roly Poly Bakery is a great Polish grocery store and bakery. They even have a hot food deli counter where you can get really great Polish food to go. Their pierogis and stuffed cabbage are especially delicious. Highly recommend!
I started traveling from North of Hartford to Roly Poly in New Britain for the Babka. I continue going for the amazing people, atmosphere, food and service. This Polish supermarket/bakery/deli is an absolute treasure and you don’t have to be Polish to think so! I have Lithuanian…
Felt like we were actually in Poland! If you do no speak polish there are staff who can speak English but don't be surprised if you're the only English speaker. Every food you could want or imagine from Poland, worth checking out. Lots of delicious meats and pastries.
