1. When did you start Isabella’s? Have you always made mochi donuts?
We started Isabella’s in 2016, we’ve been making Mochi Donuts since 2017
2. How do you come up with such amazing and fun mochi donut flavours?
We love food, and being exposed to a wide variety of flavours, we come up with all flavours that remind us of something. Like Cecilia, being a Filipino but growing up in Japan. She always feels nostalgic whenever we make Champorado (Filipino) or Mitarashi Dango (Japanese).
3. What challenges have you faced since starting your business?
Having a different and unique menu came with its challenges. And starting our business in the Beach, it was challenging for us to overcome customer’s skepticism. But once they have tried our food and donuts, they keep coming back.
4. What aspect of your business makes you happy/proud?
Our customer’s happiness with our product keeps us going. We see people from all over the country excitedly coming to our stores. It’s everything to us.
5. How has the pandemic impacted your business?
The pandemic in a way made us work harder and brought out our creativity even more. It made us love our community even more, by collaborating with other locations—businesses like Gotamago helped us out a lot.
6. What’s in the future for Isabella’s?
Expansion and better branding is in the very near future. We are here to stay, to spread love and happiness through our Mochi Donuts.
