Granowska's continues to thrive after 36 years as a staple on Roncesvalles. Large patio to people watch and enjoy a selection of hand-made perogies, ice cream, award winning donuts (paczki), traditional polish rye bread, a large shelf of polish magazines and custard squares you'll wish were a part of every meal.
Closed on Mondays.

People seem to love this place. There are always a lot of people there when I walk by. So, perhaps many have had great eating experiences here. Mine hasn't been that great, but I hope for their sake I am the exception, not the rule.
It must have been my unlucky day, but I took a tart home for a snack, and when I unwrapped it and took the first bite, something was terribly wrong. I inspected, and there was a patch of mold about the area of a quarter growing on top of the tart. I guess I didn't see it before I put it in my mouth because I wasn't looking that hard-- certainly wasn't expecting that!
I thought it must have been a horrible fluke, so I actually returned to this place a few months later with a visiting aunt and cousins (my fault). This time there was no mold, but the pastries we ate were stale. I was embarrassed, as I had just gone on and on about living in the middle of Little Poland with "fresh" baked goods in every bakery. Being relatively new to the neighborhood, I hadn't yet discovered my now favorite bakery (cough cough, it's not far from this one).
But, like I said earlier, perhaps others have had better luck.
