About

Crafted With Love

Dona was founded during the pandemic, when our founder, Jasmine, developed a deep passion for baking and a commitment to mastering artisanal techniques. What began in a humble home kitchen evolved into a purpose-driven bakehouse built on craftsmanship, discipline, and quality.

From the beginning, Doña has remained uncompromising in its standards, using premium ingredients, respecting time-honoured recipes, and prioritising process over speed. This philosophy continues to define the brand today.

Over the years, Dona has grown into a neighbourhood bakehouse recognised for its slow-risen sourdough, handcrafted viennoiserie, and thoughtfuly designed spaces. Beyond products, the brand focuses on building community, creating welcoming environments that encourage connection, conversation, and shared experiences.

Today, Dona continues to expand while staying anchored to its core values: craftsmanship, consistency, and people. Built with intention. Growing with purpose.
