📍 5927 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, IL 60630

Dobra Bielinski and Stasia Hawryszczuk opened Delightful Pastries in 1998 — Hawryszczuk immigrated from Poland in the mid-1980s with a few suitcases and calls the bakery her American Dream, while Bielinski moved from Poland at 15 and started baking at age 9.

The cannoli are the reliable order, but the Paczki during Fat Tuesday season are the reason people line up before opening.

The mother-daughter team built the business around letting natural ingredients speak for themselves rather than burying them in sugar, and expanded to Old Town and the French Market by 2009 -- both of those locations have since closed, leaving this original Jefferson Park storefront as the only one left. Paczki quality has been reported inconsistent close to Fat Tuesday when demand peaks — order early.

Closed Sunday and Monday.
