Kowalski Quality Baked Goods was a No-Maj bakery owned by Jacob Kowalski and located at 443 Rivington Street in New York.

History

Jacob Kowalski had long dreamed of opening a bakery as his grandmother had instilled a love of baking from an early age. She also left him her recipe for paczki.

In early December 1926, he applied for a loan but lacked the necessary capital and was denied. During his trip to the bank, he encountered Newton Scamander and was pulled into an adventure with him.

Though Jacob's memories of this brush with the wizarding world were later erased, Newt anonymously left him a suitcase full of silver Occamy egg shells that he could use as collateral for a bank loan, allowing him to open the bakery in early 1927.

The Bakery's available products

It offered many Polish speciality cakes and pastries including piernik, paczki, faworki (aka chrust), babka, makowiec, and sernik.

Breads offered included obwarzanek krakowski, challah, angielka, and slask.

It was particularly famous for its imaginative pastries. Unknown to most No-Majs (including Kowalski himself for a time) the pastries' shapes resembled the magical beasts that Jacob had encountered with Newt. Before he regained his memories, he claimed that the inspirations for his creations came to him in dreams. Henry was Jacob's assistant at the bakery.

At some point after the bakery's opening, Queenie Goldstein visited the location, triggering the return of Jacob' memories.

In 1932, Jacob imagined Queenie in the bakery with him, whom he missed most dearly. Eulalie Hicks and her cousin Stanley and his friends staged a scene outside the bakery, when it looked like Lally was being harassed by the men, which Jacob went outside to call off. Lally revealed that the scene was staged and that she wanted to see that Jacob was brave, which he was.

Jacob later married Queenie in the bakery, once she had left Gellert Grindelwald's side, with several of their friends, including Bunty Broadacre, Newt and Theseus Scamander, and Porpentina Goldstein. Albus Dumbledore watched outside the bakery on a bench while the wedding took place.
