Who are we? Founded in Shanghai in 2022, Nonna Bakery & Coffee is an artisanal Italian bakery and café inspired by the culinary heritage of Sicily. The brand blends traditional Sicilian recipes with local influences to create unique, high-quality baked goods and coffee.
Despite being a young brand, Nonna has seen rapid success, expanding from one store in June 2022 to 17 locations in China by January 2025.
While Nonna does not engage with Western social media due to Chinese regulations, it has a strong digital presence within China.
Looking ahead, Nonnas next milestone is launching in the UK market. The flagship London store in High Holborn will open in September 2025. Spanning 200 square metres , the space will serve as a retail location and central bakery hub for future satellite shops across Central London. An open-kitchen design will give customers an engaging view of the baking process.
What do we do? Nonna is all about honest baking, great coffee, and sharing a taste of Sicily with every customer.
Why do we exist? Were building something special: a place where passionate people can grow together, learn from each other, and create exceptional food every day. We value creativity, integrity, and the belief that great teams make great places.
