Paczki Chicago Suburbs - Where to find the best

Paczki are super popular in Chicago! Fat Tuesday is February 13th, 2024 and with it around the corner people are searching for the best bakery to buy them. The Chicago suburbs are filled with bakeries offering a large variety of the delicious pastry. While searching for Paczki near me, this guide was created.

Some fans save all of their cheat day calories for the time between Paczki Day (Fat Thursday February 8th) and Fat Tuesday.

We’ve tasted, researched and asked around and found the best paczki from the North, Northwest, South and West suburbs for you. Depending on the bakery you can find them filled with fruit, custard, chocolate or cream.

Be Mindful: As things continue to change during this time it’s definitely a good idea to verify hours of operation, closures, prices and any requirements for guests. Thank You!

There are even some Gluten Free options on this list!

Unless you’re brave enough to try making a paczki recipe at home, you’re sure to find a place near you.

Contact the Bakery for availability. Some require pre-order. Check this list often, 2024 additions are being made now!
