| - Jana's is such an awesome little place. You almost miss it driving up or down Cave Creek. They do open later (after or around 9:30 ) and close early in the late afternoon so plan ahead, and I believe they are closed on Monday's so call ahead before stopping in. You can tell they are open only when the white front doors are open to display "OPEN" on both sides. Otherwise, keep on driving! Hey, it is THEIR business and they can run it any way they wish, especially when their product is so very good.
The deli stocks various smoked linked sausages/kielbasas, along with ham and other cuts. Not terribly extensive but rare, tasty and reasonable. Breads are varied but fresh made and just like one would find in a European bakery. Ask for a sample. The baked goods, no matter what you get, are off the hook, especially the cookies. Back east, our Italian in-law family had a tradition of having large cookie trays at all their weddings- HUNDREDS of cookies.They were baked by the best in the east and were very expensive per pound. Well, for all you traditionalist transplants, call Jana's, they are that good and in most cases even better! The other cakes and such are very good. Some pastries are an unknown taste to alot of people so they do not know the true texture and taste of authentic European delicacies. Do not judge or bash herein. Ask what the product IS, eat it, then if you do not like it, post it here but with the NAME of the delicacy and what you do not like about it. A Cinnabon is not a European cinnabon, my friends!
You can also find some Polish jarred sauerkraut or cabbage with carrot, regular kraut, frozen goodies like pierogies (from Chicago, okay I winced but once tried I am hooked) in many flavors. Again, Jana's is small inside but the delights you will find are huge. Give it a try. The service is lovely. Chat it up. CC/debit use should be greater than $10.00 but seriously, if you leave there empty-handed, there is no sun, sky or moon! Enjoy Jana's! No, I am no paid spokeswoman, paid critic or the like. I am just a foodie who loves great service, food, and mom n pop stores. I support them any way i can!
