About Haisai! Sweets & Treats

We acknowledge & honour the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ First Nations, on whose ancestral land we are privileged to carry out our work.
Haisai! means hello/hi! in the Okinawan language where our ancestors are from. As Okinawa was once a part of the independent Ryukyu Kingdom before it was annexed by Japan, it has distinct languages, history and culture. Through our exploration and development of baked goods, we bring to you a fusion of tastes, flavours, and textures that bring back fond memories of our childhood growing up in a Japanese-Okinawan household in Canada.
Each time we travel back to Okinawa, our grandparents' kitchen in Naha city has always been the busiest room in the house. Although our Japanese has unfortunately slipped away to a great degree, cooking has always been the language that reconnects our family no matter how much time has passed.

Haisai! Sweets & Treats invites you for a glimpse into this kitchen, to connect with each other through this language of food. We are committed to bringing you tasty, flavourful, quality baked goods. Each ingredient is thoughtfully selected to bring you a clean, yet delectable treat. Without the use of artificial flavours, colours, & additives, our small-batch family-owned bakery takes pride in offering products that are honest & delicious.

We bake from the heart and wish every bite of our handcrafted goods brings you a feeling of being "home".

Ai (love) is our kakushi-aji (secret ingredient)
