On Grand Rapids' Westside at 2040 Leonard St. NW is Sandy's Donuts, the place to get your Paczki on Fat Tuesday. The Westside has traditionally been the Polish area of Grand Rapids.
The bakery makes between 18,000 to 19,000 Paczki for Fat Tuesday. Their every day donuts are fantastic too.
Sandy's Donuts offer the traditional prune filling as well as raspberry, apple, lemon, custard and Holland Cream. The Poles like the traditional prune and Sandy's used 900 pounds of prunes this year to make their prune filling. The white boxes are stacked and ready to be filled.
Boxes of pre-ordered Paczki waiting on the rack in the back. I was there after noon and there were still lines of people waiting to get their Paczki fix. Sandy's opened at 4am to accommodate the crowds lined up to get their Paczkis.
