You do not have to wrap every individual line with <?php ?>. Instead, wrap whole sections of php, together. — Ninjakannon

Rather than using the_sub_field() (which echoes the return value), you should use get_sub_field():

<?php echo get_sub_field('danie_rodzaj') ? get_sub_field('danie_rodzaj') : 'Custom Text instead'; ?>

This will allow you to test if there's a value, before echoing it.

This solution does work. If it doesn't, you should be receiving an error, or at least some kind of content. Are you seeing the custom text?

No, there is nothing showing not error or not even text just blank space

It's not possible to show nothing, unless your sub field has no data associated with it. That snippet will always output something.
