Cafe Polonia - Crossing

Cafe Polonia is the only Polish Cafe I have ever been to, and I came for the pickle soup ? s are known for eating pickles ? and drinking pickle juice to get the high salt diet we need).I fell in love with their Hungarian Goulash!Everything is pricy: $15 for a Zapiekanka: a French baguette with some sautéed mushrooms ?‍ , Gouda ? , and ketchup is steep and I scraped the ketchup off).I am glad this cafe exists, as I got to try Polish food without even hopping on a plane, but I wouldn’t come regularly due to price.The ambiance is incredible: carved stone walls, real wood everything, and homey kitchen utensils hanging from the walls.The kitchen sounds drove me out earlier than I’d like I did not finish my food). I couldn’t handle the incessant banging of the chopping, chopping, chopping if you, like me, struggle with sensory issues, know that even my noise canceling headphones could not drown it out, as the noise is loud and the space is small). I was sad because prior to the chopping, I was enjoying the light conversation and happy music.Be very careful leaning forward on the chairs as they tip quite easily! I nearly fell!I would order to go if I came again.Parking is limited out front, but there is one handicap spot at the end of the block. Public transit is easy too.No stairs, but a significant lip when you enter the front door, and some of the tables are too close together to fit an assistive device.The toilet is not automatic but is easy to flush.Also, that is sour cream by the Pierogies ? , not whipped creams.

Amazing Polish food. Everything was fresh and home made. Tried the Kielbasa, pierogi, and cabagge roll. Everything was excellent. The place feels very authentic.

All-round great experience. Nice family owned place. Great service and food. Very clean. Highly recommend.

Great spot, went for lunch and the food was amazing. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food.

They did catering for us that was very last minute. It was ordered on Tuesday for Thursday for 100 people. Not only were they timely, but the food was so so delicious. It was really great food and they seemed like such kind people.
