With seven locations in Montreal, Patisserie Wawel is a boulangerie, café and épicerie.
Ponki’s (sometimes called Berliners) are Poland’s answer to the donut, only better. Since 1984, owner Peter Sowa has been supplying is plum, apricot, and cream-filled creations to countless cafés across town. In addition Wawel offers succulent strudels, brioche, and Polish delicacies like piaskowa and favorki, assorted breads, and homemade pierogi varieties. Oh, and if you ever run out of herring, Wawel has your back.
