About

Hello, my name is Sonya, owner of L'atelier Sachère! I am often asked why there are Asian influences in my desserts and where my inspirations come from. During my childhood, my parents owned their own karate dojo for 10 years. I was introduced to Japanese culture at a very young age within the walls of the dojo, and as a family, we practiced a style of Japanese karate called Shito-ryu (糸東流). I trained in Shito-ryu until I was 14, which is why this influence can be found in my work. Quebec culture was also very present in my childhood, and that is why I feel so at home in Montreal. I have now lived in this beautiful city for 24 years, and I am proud to be a true pioneer in the small pastry community here in Montreal, bringing to life unique and original creations. From my iconic buttercream-free tiered cakes to my innovative ice cream flavours, my work reflects a passion for pushing boundaries. I also strive to offer inclusive desserts, with a range of gluten-free and vegan products, so that everyone can enjoy something truly special.
