Kiedrowski’s Bakery–Best in America?

When I saw the news that a local bakery had been picked as the best in America I knew I had to check it out.   So with

good weather I hopped on the motorcycle and headed to Amherst.  Kiedrowski’s is located at 2267 Cooper Foster Park Rd. Amherst, OH 44001 just off of Route 2.  A nice easy ride and a place you could stop if you are headed to Sandusky or the Erie Islands.

Kiedrowski’s is located in a small strip of stores and is a bit smaller then I thought it would be.  Once inside I found a wonderful selection of pastries and cakes.  I choose a donut, a cinnamon roll and a poppyseed danish.

The pastries were very good, with the poppyseed danish being the highpoint in that it was sweet without being overly sweet and somehow they made the poppyseeds smoother then I am used to.  The donut and cinnamon roll were both good representations of their genres. 
Kiedrowski’s also had a sample tray of their signature pastries, called a “Snoogle” which is a large cheese filled stick.  The samples were very good, but this is where the sweetness level may have exceeded my taste buds; I think I might have maxed out if I had eaten a whole Snoogle.  Kiedrowski’s does offer a variety of different flavors of Snoogles so it is certainly worth checking out.

While I found Kiedrowski’s a delightful little Eastern European bakery, I would not have said it was the best in the Cleveland area, but it is probably top 5 of those I have tried.  It is hard when you get a label like “Best in America” since we all have our own tastes and preferences.  Kiedrowski’s is certainly worth a visit if you are out Amherst way or headed further West.
