New Palace Bakery

I've never had polish pastries before so my MoL got a bit of everything for me to try. And OMG I looooove the raspberry Kolaczki! We got a small box of them and none of us can stop eating them. By day two it was all gone! The shop has sooooo many pastries and desserts it's actually a bit overwhelming. If you're indecisive, just get a bit of everything haha! It's run by a very nice old lady who said that many places on the street shut down due to the pandemic. I hope they continue to keep this place open cause it's a gem! Definitely recommend anybody and everybody to get something from here!

Located in downtown Hamtramck outside of Detroit,this bakery specializes in Polish and European pastries,breads,cookies,pies and cakes.Family owned since 1908,this is a genuine old school Polish bakery. They have a large selection of cookies and pastries all on display. We tried a few of their pastries and cookies. Cookies were just ok but their pastries were amazing. Brought back many childhood memories.I would love to go back and try one of their famous Paczki since they were already sold out.

Great old school polish bakery. Great variety and everything tasted great. Definitely worth a visit!

Prior to coming to Michigan I had never heard of a paczki, much less that there was a whole paczki day leading up to Mardi Gras. Luckily my visit coincided with the lead up to paczki day, and we came here to get a few while we were in Detroit. The bakery was PACKED. I had no idea jelly donuts caused this much of an uproar. Everyone in the shop was joking around, and the women working behind the counter were taking orders and boxing up paczkis with factory like efficiency. We ended up ordering a box of 6 raspberry paczskis, and I promptly ate one as soon as we were out of the bakery. Then I understood why the bakery was so full. I'm not sure why we don't have paczskis in California, but I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Michigan to try the myriad other flavors they had in the shop!

This pre-Paczki day weekend, we decided to try out and compare three different paczki bakeries. New Palace Bakery came highly recommended and was first on our list to visit. The interior was like a madhouse even thought it was less than an hour after they opened on Saturday. Luckily they have a number system to help with making things orderly but I can't even imagine what it would be like going in on Fat Tuesday... Since they were busy prepping for the day-of, they only allowed customers to get Paczki singles, or pre-packed boxes of paczki. No customization allowed. We got three single paczki, along with a couple of pastries they had on display.Triple Chocolate ($3.95) - As soon as we bit into this one, we knew why New Palace Bakery is the Paczki headquarters of Metro Detroit. The taste and crumb of the dough is spectacular. You can really tell the amount of time they take to really develop that dough, making it rich (much richer than brioche), dense, with a amazing chewy crumb that sticks together well and a very well developed taste. The chocolate cream on the interior I was less enamored with. It's kind of like a thicker pudding and had a very distinct almost artificial chocolate flavor. Not my favorite. The entire paczki is dipped into chocolate, creating a nice coat, and then studded with mini chocolate chips.Honey Cream Dream ($3.95) - This paczki is cut in half and filled with a lightly sweetened, smooth cream. I didn't really taste any honey in the buttercream, but there was a very light honey drizzle that complemented the donut nicely. I liked this one the most out of the three. It's simpler than the others, but absolutely delicious.Orange Creamski ($3.95) - Again, this paczki is cut in half and filled, this time with an orange creamsicle flavored buttercream. It tastes exactly as described - artificial orange with cream. The buttercream in this instance is quite a bit more granular/gritty in comparison with the Honey Cream. Lemon Boats ($1 special, normally $2.95) - The lemon boat has some nice flaky puff pastry layers with a jellylike tangy and sweet lemon curd on the top and interior. It's dusted with powdered sugar but overall the pasty is not too sweet.I also heard a couple of weekends ago, they were offering the special paczki flavors of years past. I wish I had visited to try all of them out! New Palace Bakery is a Hamtramck classic and it's easy to see why: delicious baked goods, plain and simple.

Wow, this place is amazing. So many great treats to choose from. My cousin suggested I try this place because his mother and our Grandmother use to get sweets here. I went overboard but I'm happy with my selections. It was busy but served timely. Has the old style bakery vibe.

Always love this bakery, but wanted to give them a shoutout for their Pistachio Packzi (punch-key) donuts. They're made using Dubai chocolate, but they made a special version!So so good! They may not have this if the trend dies down, but they're sure to be on top of other fun insta-trends! If you're around August 2024, check these out though!

I love this place! If you want to experience a true Polish bakery, New Palace is a must visit! They are known for their delicious paczki and they literally "own" Fat Tuesday. But they also have delicious breads, pastries, cookies, sausages, deli meats, pierogies, cakes, etc - year round! I always visit this bakery at Christmas time to pick up angel wings, fruit cake, poppy seed cake and a pound of their delicious Polish cookies. You feel like you're transported to a little bakery in Poland when you're here and the Polish women working behind the counter are sweet, efficient and quick. There is always a line, so take a number when you walk in, or you'll deal with an even longer wait.

This is the paczki place ! New Palace has a plethora of treats and bread. Take a gander of all the yummy treats New Palace offers and then the staff member will take the product you select out of the display. We ordered a various items such as paczki, hot cross buns, danish and cookies with apricot filling. We both enjoyed our delicious treats. They do not have a private parking lot so you will need to pay for street parking. Overall, New Palace is a good option for sweet treats

The already boxed Paczki (Raspberry & Custard) bought 3 days before paczki day were a total disappointment when opened a couple hours later. I bought a single raspberry paczki at the same time and it was 4 out of five stars. Very disappointing after driving and hour each way.
