History
Established in 2009.
Janina Minkus learned to cook all things Polish from her Mother in their hometown of Kaliszany, Poland. From perogies to cakes, she’s mastered it all. After countless requests for cakes and sweets from friends, Janina decided to start selling her homemade goodies at the Brewery Market in 1995. Dubbed Sweets & Herrings, she can still be found there every other Saturday selling homemade soups, cabbage rolls, and delectable cakes.
In 2009, Janina took her cooking to another level when she became the new owner of Sam’s Place in Burnside, which she later renamed Janina’s Café. Today, her son Michael runs the business, but Janina always has her hands in the kitchen helping out.
