Gate-side in Terminal A, this is the Polish souvenir stop
Baltona Polish Products sits airside in Terminal A at Warsaw Chopin, and it leans hard into local goods instead of generic duty free. Shelves skew heavily to Polish food staples: Wedel and Wawel chocolates, ptasie mleczko, gingerbread from Toruń, plus jars of pickles and preserves that stay safely under liquid limits if you watch sizes. You’ll also see basic logo gear with “Polska” branding and small items that actually fit in a personal item.
Prices run higher than a city supermarket but feel normal for an EU airport: expect around 10–20 PLN for most candy bars and snack bags, and 20–40 PLN for boxed sweets that work as gifts. Alcohol selection is smaller than the main duty free in A, but you’ll usually find a few Polish vodkas in gift packaging near the entrance. If you’re tight on time before a Schengen flight, this is quicker than backtracking to the bigger shops.
Opening times generally mirror Terminal A’s main traffic wave, roughly early morning through the late-evening departures bank; figure something like 05:00–22:00, with shutters coming down earlier on very quiet nights. Staff typically default to Polish but switch to English quickly, and card payments in PLN or contactless phone pay process faster than cash. Signage and price tags are all in zloty, so convert in your head before loading up.
Practical move: walk this shop once, grab compact, non-liquid snacks under 20 PLN as gifts, then use the bigger duty free in Terminal A only if you need serious alcohol shopping.
