Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Thin round Greater Poland sugar wafers baked between hot iron plates, sweet and snap-crisp, eaten with coffee at every Poznań cake counter. The closest cousin to the kürtős and Italian pizzelle.
The andruty kaliskie tradition is documented in Greater Poland from at least 1873 in Kalisz, the regional town 130km south of Poznań. The European Union granted the wafers Protected Geographical Indication status in 2009 under the same scheme that protects rogal świętomarciński. The thin sugar-wafer format crossed into Poznań cake counters by the late 19th century and is now sold at Cukiernia Kandulski and Cukiernia Sowa alongside the croissants.

Cukiernia Pawlova in Luboń outside Poznań is run by World Master Confectioner Paweł Mieszała, with traditional butter rogale baked to the Master's recipe.

Cukiernia Kandulski in Poznań is a family bakery founded by master confectioner Wojciech Kandulski in 1983, certified by the Cech Cukierników i Piekarzy.
TipPre-order phone-only in early November; daily production caps and queues outside the shop are routine before St Martin's Day.
Cukiernia Sowa at Stary Browar on Półwiejska 32, Poznań is the city-centre branch of the Bydgoszcz-founded 1946 patisserie chain, good for karpatka.
TipEat the karpatka or sernik on weekdays; the rogal bydgoski here is Bydgoszcz's PGI workaround, not a certified rogal świętomarciński.
