If you've never tried Polish food, give it a go. The staff is so nice on explaining the menu & the food is incredible. Beautiful old building to go along with the atmosphere. Try the perogies, the cabbage roll, & the bloody (Mary) polak!

This place was incredible. Casper was so kind & accommodating to us group of 3 & was so cheerful to talk to. The quality & price of the food was completely worth it in my opinion. Thank you!
Excellent restaurant ! Le service était exceptionnel, le personnel est très accueillant & attentionné. Les plats étaient délicieux & l'ambiance était parfaite. Je recommande sans hésite
First-things-first. I would like to say thank you so much to Kyle & to all the amazing staff of Stash Café for the impeccable service. We celebrated my sister's birthday here & it was the best dining experience we ever had. After dinner, Kyle came back with a little cake adorned with a cute lighted candle & everyone started singing Happy Birthday, in English & Polish accompanied with a piano. It was beautiful! Food was delicious. We ordered the table d'hôte debutant so we could have 4 different dishes in one plate & each dish was a delight. The Kotlet Schabowy was equally delicious, crispy & yet tender on the inside. Overall, our dining experience was fantastic. Thank you so much Stash Café for the unforgettable evening. We truly enjoyed our dinner!
I had a wonderful time at Stash Café! Everything was absolutely delicious, & the atmosphere was amazing. A special thank you to my waiter, Alik, for his excellent service, kindness, & attention. He made my visit even more enjoyable. Thank you so much-I will definitely come back!
A wonderful experience at Stash Café. I had the pleasure of rediscovering dishes from my roots & introducing them to my wife.
Everything was delicious: the kapusta, the pierogi, & the kie?basa… a real treat! The atmosphere was also excellent, especially thanks to a very talented pianist who made the experience even more enjoyable.
We also shared a lovely moment with one of the waitresses, with whom we talked about our origins & roots.
Generous, authentic food full of memories, served in a warm & welcoming atmosphere. We will gladly come back.
Delicious, authentic Polish food! 🇵🇱🥟
As a fellow Pole, these flavours really took me back home. The live piano music made the evening even more special. Highly recommend!
