The journey to our softest Nama begins three days before it ever reaches your hands.
Each batch starts with time. Our dough is carefully fermented over three days, allowing it to slowly develop the delicate, airy texture that makes Nama unmistakably soft, pillowy and almost melt-in-your-mouth.
Then comes the filling. Each one is generously finished with one of our signatures:
Original with silky, delicate cream
Ube with its smooth, subtly nutty sweetness
Matcha with an earthy, refined finish
Nutella with rich chocolate hazelnut indulgence
Three days of patience, careful fermentation and craftsmanship for a few perfect bites.
Light enough for an afternoon treat. Indulgent enough to feel like something special.

We know you probably come for our mochi donuts, and we LOVE that and thank you so much for it 💕

But the real ones know… we started as a cute little brunch spot. Our first and only full restaurant was one that we poured our whole hearts into, not knowing what would come out of it. Our experiences living in Japan manifested as unique creative flavours in our menu. Our furniture was a mix and match of what we could find on a great deal. Isabella, our daughter’s, first core memories of Canada were in that restaurant. Word spread fast and we found ourselves featured in newspapers and blogs (all organically, too!). It was there in our original brunch restaurant that we dreamed of everything Isabella’s, our cafes, are today.

Alongside our mochi donuts, we’ve been creating and curating a savoury buns menu that brings a little bit of our story from way back when into our current offerings. We may go sweet but we sure know how to do savoury REALLY really well, too. Slide through to see what we’ve been working on :)

Here is our Korean Garlic Cream Cheese Bun.

Our Ube (Pronounced: OOO-Beh) Pork Adobo bun

Longanisa bun with filipino chorizo and banana ketchup

Japanese veg curry

Pepperoni pizza cuties!

Longanisa is a beloved Filipino sausage known for its savoury richness and signature touch of sweetness. We tuck it inside our soft, slow-fermented Nama bread, creating a delicate contrast between the light, pillowy dough and the deeply savoury filling within.
Rich, comforting and beautifully balanced, it’s a little taste of Filipino tradition wrapped inside the softness of Nama.

Orange Creamsicle Nama
A nostalgic summer flavour, crafted with a softer touch.
Our pillowy Nama bread is filled generously with a silky orange diplomat cream, bringing together bright citrus with a delicate, custard-like richness. Light and airy rather than overly sweet, the cream melts into the softness of the bread with every bite.
Finished with a candied orange slice for a final note of concentrated citrus and gentle sweetness.
