Happy family says life is sweet at Nona’s; 3 women find joy in creating confections that make customers smile
Celebrate Family, Friends and Traditions, read the words painted above a photo display at Nona’s Sweets.
Those words capture the spirit that motivates Jo-Ann “Nona” Morlando and her family.
“Money keeps the door open,” says daughter Dominica Clementi, “but the joy we get is from baking every day and being friends with our customers.”
This week before Easter is a particularly busy time at Nona’s Sweets. The small shop on North Tryon Street is packed with scores of traditional holiday pastries, cookies and candies. A few items are imported from Italy, including chocolate Easter eggs and the Easter panettone.
