5 Places to Get Your Paczki

Fat Tuesday is here—the day when everyone's a little bit Polish and the occasional donut-eaters become full-fledged paczki proponents. Here's where to get yours.

Paczki paradise is as close as your nearest Dearborn bakery, and many of them are pulling special hours March 8 in preparation for Fat Tuesday madness.

Here are our picks for where to go:

  • , 22041 Outer Drive. Iversen's is usually a 9-5 cake shop. Not so on Fat Tuesday, when they go Polish and open at 7 a.m. This year, Dearborn Patch will also be there at 7:30 a.m. handing out free coffee!
  • , 14829 Ford Road. Open 24 hours, this place is already doling out paczki. Made on-site, their flavors include strawberry, apple, custard, prune, cherry, butter cream and jelly.
  • , 2611 Monroe. Paczki start getting served at 6 a.m., and are made on-site. Expect all the usual custard and fruit flavors.
  • , 7226 Greenfield Road. For the true Fat Tuesday early birds, Yum Yum is open at 4:30 a.m. Flavors include raspberry, prune, strawberry, blueberry, custard, crème, lemon and apple.
  • , 24755 Ford Road. Open at 5 a.m., their donuts are made on-site and include custard and fruit fillings such as blueberry and raspberry.
