Our story

It started in Mama’s kitchen

New beginnings

A snowy winter day in Anoka

Tasteful Delights began on a snowy winter day in Mama’s cozy kitchen, with heartfelt recipes shared over steaming mugs of tea. Friends asked for “just one more” honey cake, neighbors came back for vareniki, and word spread.

Today, Inna and her family welcome guests to their restaurant and tea room in historic Anoka — serving homemade Slavic comfort food, and the layered cakes every Eastern European family knows. Beyond the restaurant, the same kitchen caters weddings and celebrations, bakes custom cakes, prepares holiday dinners and cooks weekly meals for families and care homes.

“Warm, homemade flavors that feel like home.”

The cafe/tea room is a gem. We had a wonderful bridal shower here for 18 guests. Inna was the contact person and was very helpful in organizing. Everything tasted wonderful and was professionally displayed. The menu has a lot of variety and is reasonably priced.
