Hi, we are Alyssa & Josh, or if you would like to call us by our street names, we are The Bitter Baker & Soy Boy - the owners of Nekosama. We have been partners in life since 2014 and became partners in business in 2022. We specialize in whimsical baked goods (mostly neko(cat) themed!) made with local & natural ingredients. Everything is freshly handmade (and not too sweet lol) in small batches by just the two of us (well, one more than the other, wink).​

 

We named the business Nekosama out of the love for our 3 cats, however, there are only 2 cats on the logo because they actually represent us! We have both worked in the food industry for a long time and we want to create something different. One of us is proudly Taiwanese so we want to include some fond childhood food memories + Asian flavors in our baked goods. Of course, we also want to make them whimsical & yummy!

 

Nekosama is a Cottage Food Operation and everything is made to order in our certified home kitchen. We are currently doing pop-ups at local businesses in the East Bay - follow us on Instagram to see where we'll be at next!​ ​ ​ ​  ​​​
