history

In 1984, bakery owners Teddy and Hania Robieniek left Gdansk, Poland - communist at the time - in search for an opportunity to provide a better future for their family in America. Everything was left behind; their jobs, their homes, and even their two young daughters.

Ultimately Buffalo, NY was chosen as where the Robieniek family would establish itself. Daughters Monika and Ania were finally able to join their parents in America after two long years of separation. The business was purchased in 1987, and by 1990 E.M. Chrusciki Bakery as we know it today was born.

To reinforce the business they had just purchased, both Hania and Teddy spent some time visiting famous bakeries back in Poland. From these bakeries, they brought back truly authentic recipes for things like paczki, placek, and chrusciki. E.M. Chrusciki bakery quickly became a staple in the Polish rooted Broadway Market area. Today the bakery brings thousands in yearly for their delicious goods. Products are featured by local food distributors and can also be shipped nation wide.
