"Solodko", the Ukrainian word for sweet, was founded in 2019 by Ilona Znakharchuk during her sophomore year at Boston College. After visiting Ukraine, her native country, she noticed a huge deficit in the availability of visually appealing yet simultaneously delicious desserts within the Greater Boston area. In 2020, Ilona's sister Irina joined the team and they began to expand their business beyond the Boston College campus. Over the course of the past 3 years, their mission was simple. Dessert should be edible art: exquisite in appearance, delicious in taste. Welcome to Solodko, where life becomes sweet!
"Owned by two sisters, Irina and Ilona Znakharchuk, this Ukrainian bakery opened in 2022. A dream of Ilona’s since she studied at Boston College, the bakery makes tarts, macarons, and more, but the star of the show is the traditional Medovik cake by the slice. Choose between the classic honey cake or the chocolate honey cake for a taste of Ukrainian tradition right in Brighton." - Celina Colby, Tanya Edwards, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Solodko — the Ukranian word for “sweet” — is a Brighton pastry newcomer from Ukranian sisters Ilona and Irina Znakharchuk. The confections are (almost) too pretty to eat, from eclairs and macarons to honey cake by the slice, chocolate hazelnut croissants, and chocolate berry tarts. For die-hard pastry fans, Solodko hosts cake assembly and decoration classes; keep an eye on Instagram for details on upcoming sessions." - Erika Adams
