RECIPE INSPIRATION What began as a one-woman doughnut operation is now a busy Broadway storefront with wild flavours that change daily. Inspirations come from a wide variety of sources, like trendy matcha, a powdered Japanese green tea. Filled nanaimo doughnuts reimagine the favourite Canadian dessert, while salted caramel pretzel shows off the whimsy and playfulness of this creative bakery.
