If there’s one thing Clevelanders love, it’s comfort food. We are a melting pot as far as culture goes, but some groups (like Hungarians, Italians, and Serbians) settled here in neighborhoods with like-minded individuals from back home. These groups introduced their culture to Cleveland, but they also gave us something arguably more important — their food! If there’s one food that stands out above all others in Cleveland, it’s pierogies. There are many places to find pierogies in Cleveland, but some of the very best are hiding in a little bakery in Polish Village. Bring your appetite, because you’ll want to stock up on all sorts of European favorites during your visit.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, some of the most indulgent pierogies in Greater Cleveland can be found in Polish Village.
For more than 70 years, this cherished local baker has utilized European tradition baking to craft flavors that Clevelanders adore. They truly offer something for everyone!
