Chicago Bakery and Deli

The style of this place is super weird. They cover everything up with huge pull-​down window shades so passers-​by can’t see what’s inside. And though most Central-​European stores I’ve been to (here and in Europe) have not-​very-​friendly service, which I understand and actually appreciate sometimes, these folks are so brusque that the only word for it is unwelcoming — like they don’t want your business if you’re not Polish.
So why three stars? Because it’s ULTRA cheap, like five fresh-​baked rolls for a buck, and the quality is perfectly good, and they have a great selection of polish meats and sausages. I’d give it another star or two if they posted product descriptions in English and weren’t so unfriendly. As it is, though, if you’re thick-​skinned, you can get a good deal!
