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 .
