OUR STORY

The sweet start of Munchiez

Munchiez isn’t just a dessert brand. It’s a story built on family, vision, creativity, and believing in something before everyone else sees it.
Munchiez was created by young entrepreneur Donavon Armprester, whose vision was to build something that felt bigger than just food. From the beginning, the goal was never simply desserts it was about creating a vibe, a space, and an experience that brings people together.

Behind that vision is a strong foundation and support system led by his mother, Shara Armprester, who helped nurture the dream from the very beginning. Growing up, the kitchen was always a place of love, laughter, learning, and creativity. From baking cookies and making desserts together to experimenting with new ideas, those moments became the inspiration behind the brand.

What started as quality time in the kitchen turned into something much bigger a dessert experience designed to bring joy, comfort, fun, and community to Buffalo.

Munchiez was created to be more than a place to grab something sweet. It’s a family-friendly dessert experience during the day and early evening, while transforming into a fun late-night dessert lounge vibe on weekends. Whether people are stopping in with family, linking with friends, celebrating, or just satisfying a late-night craving, the goal is always the same: create an unforgettable experience.
At the center of it all is the signature banana pudding built with flavor, creativity, and customization in mind through the “Build Your Munch” experience, where customers can create desserts their own way.

As Munchiez grows, the vision continues to expand beyond desserts into community events, entertainment, culture, and creating a space where people feel connected.

This is only the beginning of the Munchiez story.

FOUNDER

Donavon Armprester

Munchiez was founded by young entrepreneur Donavon Armprester, a student-athlete and creative visionary focused on mastering what he calls the “3 Bs” — business, basketball, and balance.

With a love for desserts, creativity, and bringing people together, Donavon envisioned Munchiez as more than just a dessert business. His goal was to create an experience — a place where people can enjoy great desserts, good energy, community, and fun all in one space.

As a young entrepreneur actively pursuing both academics and basketball, Donavon represents discipline, ambition, and creativity at a young age. Munchiez reflects that same energy by blending family-friendly fun, late-night dessert vibes, culture, and community into one brand.

Supporting the vision behind the scenes is his mother and “momager,” Shara Armprester, who helps guide the operational and business side of the brand. With a background in leadership, entrepreneurship, and community engagement, Shara helps turn Donavon’s ideas into reality while encouraging him to grow both as a young businessman and as a leader.

Together, they are building Munchiez as a family-driven brand rooted in creativity, culture, balance, and community.

OUR MISSION

Desserts, energy & experience — together.

At Munchiez, our mission is to create more than just desserts, we’re creating experiences, memories, and moments that bring people together.

Built on creativity, family, culture, and community, Munchiez was designed to be a space where everyone feels welcome. From after-school treats and family nights to late-night dessert runs with friends, our goal is to create an atmosphere that feels fun, energetic, comforting, and unforgettable.

We believe dessert should feel interactive and personal, which is why we created the “Build Your Munch” experience — giving customers the opportunity to customize desserts their own way while enjoying the vibe around them.

By day, Munchiez is family-friendly, welcoming, and community-driven. By night, especially on weekends, the energy shifts into a fun late-night dessert lounge atmosphere with music, connection, and social vibes.
