Our Story
From a home kitchen to Johor Bahru's favourite artisan bakery — this is how it all started.
How It All Began
Dona Bakehouse started in 2021 as a passion project from a small home kitchen in Taman Molek. What began as weekend bakes for friends and family quickly grew into a loyal following on Instagram. By 2023, we opened our first retail space — a cozy bakery where the smell of fresh sourdough greets you every morning. Today, we serve hundreds of customers weekly, from daily bread lovers to brides-to-be looking for the perfect wedding cake. Our philosophy is simple: use the best ingredients, respect traditional techniques, and never take shortcuts.
- Founded in 2021, retail space opened 2023
