SooToday published a lovely feature about our family and The Yummy Place — how we share Ukrainian and European desserts made by hand in Sault Ste. Marie.
Yelyzaveta Pedko spoke with reporter Darren Taylor about dad Yevhen’s idea to start the business in 2023, and how mom Iryna and the whole family help make every treat with love. Our slogan says it best: all products are handmade with love.
At Soo Market you’ll find macarons, oreshki (gorishky) with pistachio or caramel cream, almond cookies, honey cake, jam-filled cookies, and more traditional Ukrainian desserts — plus frozen pierogi and dumplings. It’s a taste of home for Ukrainian-Canadians, and a sweet stop for anyone who loves handmade baking.
We came to Canada from Ukraine in 2022. Baking together keeps us close to family traditions — the kind of kitchen time that brings back childhood memories with grandmother back home — and lets us share Ukrainian culture with our neighbours in the Sault.
You’ll usually find us at Soo Market on Saturdays, and on Thursdays in the summer, plus local festivals around town. Check our schedule on this site and on Instagram for the latest hours.
