AboutWe're all about genuine relationships.
Explore the origins and values that drive Solodko, Boston's beloved destination for artisanal coffee and Ukrainian-inspired sweets.
Our story has a sweet beginning.
Ilona and Irina were born in Ukraine and immigrated to the United States as children. In 2019, while pursuing her education at Boston College, Ilona visited her home country and fell in love with the Eastern European pastry and coffee scene. With a passion for craft cakes and a vision for something sweet, she founded Solodko. A year later, her sister Irina joined her, adding her own touch and expertise to the mix. Together, they transformed Solodko into a beloved destination for delectable desserts and expertly crafted espresso beverages. Named after the Ukrainian word for "sweet," Solodko embodies their Ukrainian heritage, brings a sliver of their homeland to Boston, and strives to share the sweetness of life with their community.
