"If you told us that Cafe Polonia is an exact reproduction of a little bed and breakfast in the pine-covered hills outside Gdansk, we’d believe you (and that’s not just because it stocks a ton of Polish beer you probably won’t find anywhere else). This tiny little cabin of a restaurant in Andrew Square is where we want to wait out every snowstorm, with the help of some potato pancakes and borsch. It helps that it’s pretty cheap, too - plenty of dishes on the menu, like the Vienna pork chop, will fill you up for under $20." - dan secatore
"Part of Dorchester’s Polish Triangle, Cafe Polonia has been serving traditional Polish food for over two decades, from pierogi to stuffed cabbage. The famous Eastern European beet soup, borscht, is always available, filled with mushroom- or meat-stuffed ravioli, and other soups rotate. If dill pickle soup is available, absolutely order it." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"A Polish restaurant called Cafe Polonia that had been in operation on Dorchester Avenue for nearly two decades seemed to have closed its doors for good, but has re-opened." - Terrence Doyle
"A South Boston Polish institution for nearly two decades, Cafe Polonia — known for blood sausages, potato pancakes, and pierogi and once visited by Guy Fieri — closed in November." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"I appreciated Café Polonia as a rare Boston outpost of Central European fare, doing modest, fine Polish cuisine in Andrew Square." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
