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.”

Just like Grandma used to make

Amazing staff, gastronomical food!! Just like Grandma used to make!! I can't wait to go back and fill my boots with original dishes from the heart. Well done ladies!!
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.
Tasteful Delights is such a wonderful restaurant! The food is always of the highest quality and the staff are so kind and helpful. My family loves their soups especially. Highly recommend visiting!
