Wioletta's Polish Market: Your Neighborhood Destination for Authentic Polish Delights

Finally made it back to Milwaukee for dinner with friends. They suggested a stop at Wioletta's Market as I am always looking for the neighborhood markets of my earlier years growing up in Milwaukee. This store is a gem! I found many things to purchase; glad I had a cooler with me! Sausages that I thought were impossible to find. Great bread. They still had some Paczki available even though we were 3 days after fat Tuesday. I found the jelly candies my grandmother used to have that I haven't seen in decades. Wonderful mustard, polish liver pate, pickled mushrooms and many types of pierogi. Finally, black forest smoked bacon that can be eaten uncooked as is done in Poland and Germany. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The woman the handled my order at the deli counter had a huge laugh when I asked for a pound of one item and, on the first weighing, hit 1.000lb right in the mark! Can't wait to get back up to Wioletta's. And, I'm so happy to see places like this still exist. We need to support these local markets.

I stopped into Wioletta's the day before Christmas Eve to pick up a holiday tradition - Kielbasa, or Polish Sausage as most know it. This hand-made meat is nothing like you find in grocery stores which generally is smoked and seasoned for a blander pallet in my opinion. Kielbasa is not "spicy," but it is distinctive, and you can smell it the moment you walk through Wioletta's door. Once inside, it's like shopping in the old neighborhood. (Most of Milwaukee's Polish restaurants have closed with only a few butchers or markets remaining. This one is filled with wonderful foods!) From meats to Perogies to cabbage rolls, soups & sweet treats, the store has more than you'd imagine even a curated liquor section. Make a trip and leave time to browse each aisle. Find your favorites and come back again and again. It's a trip back in time and a celebration of a people that helped build Milwaukee, but has faded.

Really enjoyed shopping at this store! The staff was really friendly and caring. I had 2 young kids and the woman at the checkout offered to help me get my items to my car. It was very nice and appreciated! Definitely will stop by again. They had all the Polish staples I was looking for.

One great thing about Milwaukee (along with some other Great Lakes cities) is the existence of wonderful ethnic communities and markets that are like stepping into their home country. Entering into this market “feels” like a small trip to Poland. A wonderful deli, with many delightful items all over this small and very clean family-run store. Very worth a trip. So great to see places like this still going strong and locally supported.

Great little neighborhood market with a number of Polish staples. Great mustard and pickled options. They have multiple types of kielbasa in the case. They also have a decent selection of European beers and liquors. I also have a nice array of artisan bread choices.

Went in for Fat Tuesday festivities and they did not disappoint on the Pazcki. They were sold out of some flavors which is natural to be. However the ones I got look delectable and the one I ate already was top notch. Walking near the deli counter, it is a small place I might just be ordering holiday meats from in the future. They looked amazing and we eat polish sausage/kielbasa for different holidays. Plenty to choose from and looked real good. The grocery is small and put together. Stop in support if you can its a nice, clean store and deli.

Wioletta’s Polish Market brought back childhood memories of the Polish market my family used to shop at when I was child in Toledo, OH. Wioletta’s had everything… and it was cool that almost everything was labeled in Polish. My grandma and mom would have loved this place. I can’t wait to go back and shop there again. My favorites are Polish Kielbasa, Stuffed Cabbage, and Red Borscht. I highly recommend Wioletta’s Polish Market!

Greeted as soon as we stepped into this adorable market by two friendly employees. The layout is spacious, clean and packed full of absolutely delicious delightful products from Poland. There's literally something in here for everyone. I'd suggest you try the pierogies, garlic ham and black forest ham. OMG the flavor is insane, especially on a warm croissant with melted cheese. Let me not start raving about the snacks and candy too. So cool to have so many polish snacks right here in Milwaukee to try. Also, if you have Google translate or any translation app on your phone. You can easily translate the polish language written on the various packaging, to know what you're purchasing.
