Polka Deli

Small shop loaded with goodies imported from Poland! Employees were friendly and helpful. This was my first, but definitely not my last trip here!

Very cute little Polish shop! My fiancé is Polish-American and we were looking for Polish candy to add to our parting gifts for our wedding. His parents frequent this deli to get meat, pierogis and other items imported from Poland, so we thought to come here to get the candy we had in mind. I actually came on my own for my first visit and was greeted by who I think was the owner. She didn't ask if I needed help, but I didn't at the moment, so I preferred to be left alone to explore on my own anyway. I found just the candy I was looking for and asked how many pieces come in a bag since there seemed to be a discrepancy between the nutrition label and what each bag actually contained. The owner/staff was really helpful in helping me figure out how much I should get. I ended up buying out her stock of these iconic, dark chocolate covered plums. I couldn't leave without getting a pack of frozen pierogis too! I'll definitely be back when they re-stock more of those chocolates and I'll have to try more items they have (e.g. sauerkraut, jams, meat, desserts, pastries, soups). The name can be deceiving though. They don't actually make sandwiches. Rather, they just sell Polish deli meat, among other food. Nonetheless, I am impressed with how much they have for such a tiny shop!

I'm really surprised people put reviews up reguarding employees not wearing masks. First of all this is in Orange County. Orange County is known to not believe all the hype the government wants to scare you with. It's like Florida Orange County. That why I love Orange County! I honestly came and was happy you didn't have to wear a mask. How many places do you go to and see people still wearing masks. By all means if u want to wear a mask, then wear it, but if somone doesn't, then what's the big deal. I guarantee you all the food you eat on a daily basis did not have the cook, the person who prepared your meal, the company that made it, wear a mask. And your worried about the owner of a small store? We had all the stores put up plastic walls to shield you, yet they just touched everything you bought and ate! Come on! If your sick, then by all means stay home and stop the spread or put on a mask. But if your not, we have to still wear a mask? You shouldn't give a bad review over you not agreeing with your views on the mask situation. As far as anyone in this store being rude, I have never out of all the years shopping there had anyone rude. I've had the lady help, the husband, and recently the son. Everyone has been nice. Maybe you think someone should be over joyed, I don't know. I come in, buy my food and make small chat and never had an issue. I will take the customer service here any day compared to what's really out there now. So now to the food. Food is always delicious and fresh. I have always had my mom bring Polish food from Chicago, but have noticed the quality and freshness is no longer there. This stores food is always fresh. Yes it's cost me more than Chicago, but I'd rather pay the money than have food I don't like. As far as the lady complaining and going to the German Store? Really? Then you really don't know Polish food because there's no similarity.We went to German town, yes it was nice, yes they had some Polish food, but not anything near how good Polka Deli is. My mom who still lives in Chicago even said it was really good. This store has everything you can think of Pierogi, Polish beer, Sauerkraut, all different kinds of sausages, ham, head cheese, pre made soups you can take home, Farmers cheese, all different kind of candy and chocolates, fruit spreads, fresh bread, baked goods, you name it, they have it. It also is organized, and always clean. This store is my go to when I'm craving anything Polish.My review is this. Don't read the bad reviews, make your own judgement. There's been plenty of places where I read a review, went there and it was not at all what a review said. Keep in mind people views things differently then you. Maybe someone wont like something but you will. Make your own judgement. I just came on here to see how late they were opened today and saw some reviews and here I am writing a novel! Polka Deli ... 5 star!!!

Nice little store. The staff is very helpful and the food is authentic. Come check this place out. Their polish sausage is the best in orange county. It's homemade. The twice smoked kielbasa is my favorite.

This is a wonderful Polish deli! I absolutely love it! They have everything you would need for your Wigilia. Pierogi, ingredients for Barszcz, the best kielbasa, ham that is so lean, babkas, sledz, makowiec and so much more! The people who work here are always so nice, and the owner goes to great lengths to fulfill all her customers needs, which is so appreciated. We have been coming here for years, and always look forward to our next visit!

Found a nice Polish grocery and deli in OC. Store is cozy, organized, and very clean! Got Pierogi, bread, soup, and sandwiches! Very friendly lady at the store! Will definitely come back!

I was driving 70 miles to buy some polish products for my Christmas dinner.Before I left my place, I checked their store hours to be sure it's open. After an hour and a half of driving, I found out that the store has been closed today without any online notification!!!!!!! Wasted a half of my day and gas as well!!!! Never again!!!!!

Used to be a great place to obtain my favorite Polish holiday foods. The staff is very rude and not helpful. The place is so cramped that you think that you are going to knock items off the shelf if you exhale while in the store.Today was my last visit. I made plenty of room in my freezer to get an early start on purchasing my Christmas Eve Pierogies and older Polish favorites. The prices had increased which I suspected due to inflation but even with a large order they wanted to charge me a $3.00 credit card service fee. Enough is enough. Their rudeness and service charges are not worth supporting a local small business. If they want my business they have to earn it.I decided to vote with my feet and left without making any purchases or paying any credit card fees. I told the rude cashier that I refused to pay their high prices along with a credit card processing fee and that I would shop elsewhere. She could have cared less. Let's see how long this attitude keeps this business open.This year I am purchasing my potato and cheese Pierogie at ALDI and all of the others from Jon's Supermarket.Don't waste your time and gas going to the POLKA Deli in Orange.

Great place and a great owner. My finance is first generation polish and was looking for a good Polish deli in SoCal. It's small and has a lot of great stuff. Great breads and all the meats. Opener was very sweet and talkative. Would recommend if you're in Orange, CA

Small but mighty! Tiny, cute Polish deli with a large selection of Polish packaged food items. My husband was particularly thrilled to try the Polish beers. At the counter they offer a few fresh sausages, ham sandwich made-to-order and a couple of delicious baked treats (the fruit filling in the Polish jelly-filled donuts is soo good!).Service is great too!
