Review from Yoony P.

How can you not love a place that offers Poppy Seed cake, Poppy Seed strudel AND Poppy Seed Torte?!
They have covered the sweets and the savouries having delectable items like sausage rolls as well.
The shelves are stocked with imported european dry and canned goods.
Like perogies? They have them too. Frozen with all different types of fillings--including fruit fillings!

Note: This 4* rating is for the perogies in the freezer of Piast Bakery (the owner mentions that they recently moved from Fraser)... I can't really speak to the why such lovely smells emanate from the other 700 square feet of this little shop.
I'm unsure if I bought a "pierogi" or a "perogi", but I do know that they were delicious. To be clear, I am not a connoisseur of this delightful unleavened dough pocket; however, the lovely women of Piast Bakery are, and they were very helpful with instructions on how to boil, fry and accompany each type of perogy to hit the right note. But really, what can't taste good with sour cream, fried onions, and tabasco?
Look for the freezer - it contains the following (and more):
* Cheddar perogies (above average)
* Sauerkraut and mushroom perogies (excellent! evidently, just in time for Christmas - but sure nuf' I'd eat them year around)
* Pork perogies (would give 'em a miss)
* Blueberry perogies (v nice)
These deep pockets of flavor were embedded in a thin dough, rather than the industrial strength shells that I've found in other delis.
I'll definitely be back to reload the freezer soon.
