It's paczki season!
​

Delightful Pastries is a family-owned bakery that's been serving up European treats for over 25 years. They specialize in paczkis anytime, but this is their busiest time of the year. In fact, they will serve over 40,000 paczkis in 12 different flavors leading up to Fat Tuesday. I recently got a preview, as they prepare for their biggest day. 

To prepare for the big day, they'll be open everyday leading up to Mardi Gras, including this Sunday. This is one of the only spots in Chicagoland that serves up paczkis with this many unique flavors, including a few for our friends 21+.

This year’s paczki menu includes Apricot Preserves, Raspberry Preserves, 
Rose Petal Jelly, Plum Butter
 and Custard Topped with Chocolate Fudge 
($3.49 each). Gourmet flavors include 
Passion Fruit Jelly, German Chocolate & Espresso Chocolate Custard  ($5.29 each). Delightful Pastries’ also serves up signature Drunken Paczkis perfect for watching the big game this weekend or Fat Tuesday celebrations. The 21+ flavors include  Vodka Vanilla Bean Custard, Whiskey Chocolate Custard and Lemon Curd with Kentucky Moonshine ($5.39 each).


I got to sample a variety of the paczkis during my visit, and each was amazing. If I had to choose just one, I'd say the fresh strawberry and whipped cream, that is the best tasting paczki that I've ever eaten. Passion Fruit paczki is a close second, especially knowing the strong connection that owner Dobra Bielinski has to the fruit, which you'll find in many of the desserts here. Not to be missed are the german chocolate and espresso chocolate custard. Another item of note, is the amount of filling that you'll get in these paczkis, which means you get that deliciousness in every bite.

In 1998, Dobra Bielinski and Stasia Hawryszczuk opened the first
Delightful Pastries bakery in Jefferson Park on Lawrence with a goal to make authentic European pastries, using as many local ingredients as possible. 


You can check out all the flavors at Delightful Pastries.
They will also be doing DoorDash & GrubHub orders except on Tuesday, Feb 13th.

Custom orders are due by February 7th.
