Papillon International Bakery

1. Time and cashier recommended various items, EVERYTHING is so well made fresh. I'll come back soon.

My wife and I went to order Ponciks, and had to wait 10 minutes for them to be prepared fresh as they promised. When we finally tried them, we found that the dough was hard and difficult to cut with a knife, and the cream filling was solid instead of creamy. It appeared that the Ponciks were not made fresh as advertised, and had likely been reheated to give the illusion of being warm and fresh. Overall, we were very disappointed with the experience and will not be returning to this restaurant.

The meat-filled piroshki was soggy and had a paste-like texture. The potato piroshki were oversized. The cheese piroshki used Brindza cheese that was too brown for my liking. My favorite was the custard ponchik, and the Nutella ponchik was also delicious. The candies were a highlight, but I would recommend avoiding the cheese piroshki. The interior decor seemed outdated and unkempt, giving off a Grandma's 1970s vibe. Sitting on the furniture made me feel dirty.

Good desert style bakery in the north comb. They make it fresh, so wait a little, but worth it.

My ponchiks were amazing. The guy working? SUPER RUDE almost worth driving to the noho location because the guy was that rude. Nutella and dulce de leche are my favorite in my opinion I also HIGHLY recommend the cheese perashkis
