Here’s the best part: The doughnut holes are in abundance even at this late hour — and available to house a scoop of ice cream in a fun little sandwich for $5. I got mine with salted caramel espresso; coffee flavors are my way of ensuring the kids won’t steal my treat after they finish their own. (Sharyn Jackson)

The longstanding market and restaurant specializing in Eastern European fare is all about dishing up timeless favorites while introducing new items. On the heels of creating a cherry bomb brat for its Target Field stand this season, Kramarczuk’s has released a new line of ice cream.
A collaboration with Minnesota Dairy Lab, three varieties are now available in the freezer section ($15 a pint) at the Minneapolis store. And the flavors are very, very Kramarczuk’s. The Poppyseed translates into a frozen churn of the poppyseed bread. Meanwhile, the Black Forest Cheesecake brings the dessert case into ice cream form. Even the Walnut Waltz, aka Potica Cream, channels Kramarczuk’s potica bread with walnut cream filling. We enjoyed all the varieties, especially the cleverly original walnut butter ice cream with a candied walnut crumble.
As a bonus, while here grabbing dessert, I snagged groceries for dinner, which had to include my favorite Polish sausage links around town. (Nancy Ngo)
