It’s not in the city, but if you’re okay with making a drive, Kretchmar’s in Beaver has delicious paczki. To be honest, they’re the only bakery I ever get them from because they’re so good. Maybe I’ll branch out this year, but then again maybe not haha

I was at S&D on Friday and there was no sign of packzi I ended up at Party Cake and they were delicious. Someone said Party Cake got sold and their other baked goods aren't as good, but I didn't notice a difference in the packzi. My friend always brings ones from Oakmont, and they are fine, but I like Party Cake better.

It’s not that early — Ash Wednesday is not that far away.

We went the Party Cake route this year and were overall pretty pleased. We thought the fruit flavors were a step above the flavored-buttercream. Custard also a big win, but maybe that’s just because I really like custard. 😁

Someone said that the ones at S&D are in fact Party Cake ones, with a special flavor (rosehip) that they make just for S&D.
