Wow! What a fantastic hidden gem this place is. Obviously, it’s a Polish owned and operated business and the people are great. There’s so much Polish here with everything from jewelry to toys to clothing to food. We were all very enamored with this place and will definitely visit again.

This place is a hidden gem in Cedar, Michigan. It is chock full of everything Polish, but the main thing is the proprietor/owner, who is absolutely delightful. She and her husband are local farmers as well as shopkeepers, even selling meat from their farm and many kinds of pierogis. Do yourself a favor and stop in this place. It's like a visit to Krackow and you won't need a passport.

This is such an interesting, friendly shop. It may be small, but in that small shop they have an amazing array of the colorful, interesting, tasty, and beautiful items from Poland. They have a lot of amber jewelry. They have a huge selection of Polish pottery, beautifully decorated in bright colors and intricate patterns. This is not the modern junk you usually find today, it is durable and finely crafted by gifted artisans. There are many food items. Lots of sweet pastries and candies. Pickled items and sour kraut. The frozen perogies are amazing. Plop them into boiling water, then, when they float, into a big hot frying pan with sliced Vidalia onions and butter. Saute' them until pale gold. Serve with a dollop of sour cream. Yum! Way better than the ones you get at the grocery store. The lady running the store was super friendly and nice. She obviously loves the things she sells and is really good at sharing that love with visitors. I had so much fun here!

This store has a wonderful selection of Polish pottery, which is durable, beautiful and easy to clean. The manager at the store is very friendly and knowledgable. A wonderful stop during any trip to Leelanau / Traverse City.

I was surprised by the quantity and selection of Polish pottery and dishes. Even if one were to visit Poland (and we have, twice), most of the dishes are too heavy to carry back in luggage. This is a great place to start, or add to the collection. Good selection of other items too.

I am not Polish but I love this store.
It’s a great asset to Cedar.
The music makes for a happy atmosphere
And it’s filled with gifts and information from/about Poland.
The stoneware is beautiful and i’ve bought several pieces for gifts.
The amber jewelry is beautiful too.
My favorite for my grand daughters are the aprons that make you look like you're wearing a dress and pearl necklace. I think they are made for adults, but my little girls love them.
The selection of food is interesting and we’ve enjoyed what we’ve purchased.

We had heard about this place from friends that have a cottage in the area. We are SO glad we stopped!
There is so much to see here. Being of Polish heritage, it was so much fun to see all the items made in Poland. I had so much fun looking and reminiscing about how much my Mama would have enjoyed this place...
I bought a lot of items for myself and Christmas gifts for family and friends. Will visit again, plus the one in Hamtramck...
🇵🇱HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 🇵🇱

What a surprise. A lovely store with everything Polish. Great selection of dishes and all kinds of china. Everything from Poland. Games, jewelry, clothing, candies, canned goods, books, and on and on.
Plus the owner is a wonderful outgoing young lady that was raised in Hamtramck, the Polish hub of Detroit.
Very much worth a stop to visit, look, and talk with the owner.
