St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church

I’m almost reluctant to post this review. I don’t want the homemade quality of the food to change, especially if there becomes a large customer base, but its too good to keep quiet.
Enter the door along the side of the large Ukrainian Catholic church and down the stairs you’ll be over blown by the wonderful scents lingering in the air. Only on Friday’s, during the months of September thru June (kitchen is closed during the summer months; these terrific cooks/grandmother’s deserve the time off) the church’s kitchen is open from 11am to 3 pm.
This hidden gem makes and sells true authentic Ukrainian holubtsi/​golabki (cabbage rolls), borscht (beet soup) and varenyky (pierogi).
The cabbage rolls are generously stuffed with ground beef and rice (they even now offer a vegetarian version with mushrooms and rice) and cooked in a luscious tomato sauce.
The borscht is very rich and flavorful with shredded beets throughout. You can order by the cup/​bowl or by the quart.
The pierogi are scrumptious pillowy heaven like clouds. There are three varieties, sauerkraut, potato, and farmers’ cheese. If you especially like the cheese, arrive early! My husband and I got there by 12:30 pm and they were already sold out. In fact we were told they sold out of cheese pierogi in the first half hour.
The quality of the food is amazingly wonderful and the prices are close to being unbelievable!
Make sure you have cash on hand. They do not accept debit/​credit cards.
Cabbage rolls, beef or mushroom $ 1.50 each.
Potato and/​or kraut pierogi are $ 8 a dozen.
Farmers’ cheese pierogi $ 9 a dozen
Borscht is $ 1 a cup/​bowl or $ 4 a quart.
We especially like to get the combo plate.
One beef and rice cabbage roll with four potato or kraut pierogi is $ 4.50
Or, one beef and rice cabbage roll with four cheese pierogi $ 5
I’m sure they will substitute with the mushroom and rice cabbage rolls if you ask.
There are plenty of linen covered tables with chairs for dining in, or you can ask for take out and they’ll gladly box it all up for you.
As I mentioned earlier its best to arrive there early. They only make a certain amount and when its gone its gone, no more till the following Friday, and remember, not during the summer months.
There are order forms available to have cabbage rolls and pierogi during the holidays. They are already accepting orders for Easter 2015.
