In keeping with its Polish heritage, this Salem shop is currently serving Paczki (pronounced poonch-key and $2 each) through Easter Sunday. This hand-rolled, trans fat-free treat is very rich, with a sugary outside and chunks of real fruit in the middle. Fillings include strawberry, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, prune, and then there are plain glazed. Cream is optional. The shop also serves delectable jelly doughnuts. 96 Bridge St., Salem. 978-744-0995, www.coffeetimebakeshop.net ($1.20 each; $10.99/dozen)
