I used to go to the Hamtramck location when I lived in Detroit. I went to the location near the Polish Cultural Center yesterday.
One of my favorite things about this place is their impressive selection of herbal teas. Yesterday, I bought 5 boxes of tea, and it was affordable. They had several brands of forest fruit tea, strawberry, blueberry, cinnamon, great sleepy tea blends, and raspberry quince tea. I am thinking some of them will also be delicious iced in the summer. There were so many, most are labeled in English, so I was able to make sure I wasnt getting too much licorice blended in. I cant wait to try more kinds next time.
They also have a great selection of dumplings and pierogies/kluski, premade soups, a hot food bar that had sauerkraut and stuffed cabbage, a cold food bar with a variety of polish condiments, and aisles of sauce mixes, spices, and tinctures. Theres a nice selection of quality polish beets and sauerkraut, and it's also affordable.
If you like making smoothies or cold drinks they have a large section full of exotic and healthy fruit nectars and juices that are hard to find elsewhere, and bottles of polish syrups for mixing your own soda or drinks. Flavors like wild strawberry, kiwi. And blueberry. Not expensive like many other stores.
The yogurt section is great too, theres lots of flavors that aren't commonly carried at major grocery stores, like mango, and a nice selection of kefir.
The refrigerated bakery/dessert section also looked good, but I haven't yet tried anything from it.
The meat/deli counter looks awesome. I love their sausages and the meat products they make.
This place is authentic, I noticed most of the people in the store were speaking Polish. I had a Polish grandmother and love home cooked Polish food, and this is the place to get important ingredients.
It was like an adventure, exploring all the different flavors. Cant wait to go back!
