The famous rooster at Piekarnia Sarzynski
The Sarzynski family baking tradition goes back to 1915, and the bakery is the home of the kazimierski kogut, a sweet yeast pastry shaped like a rooster. Each one is hand-formed and baked fresh, and the bird has become a symbol of the town that visitors queue to buy.
More than a bakery in Kazimierz Dolny
Alongside the bakery counter the business runs a pizza and wine bar, an artisan ice cream shop and even a small rooster museum. It works as both a place to grab a pastry and a spot to sit down.
Where to find Sarzynski
The bakery is at ul. Nadrzeczna 6, close to the town centre. Opening hours and prices can change, so check the official site or the shop directly, especially in the quieter months.
