ep 10 | asian smb series: kora, a filipino bakery Lets Talk Asian

    • Personal Journals

This is part of the Asian Small Business Series where I am putting a spotlight on my favorite Asian small businesses. :)

@kimberlymcamara & @__keviar are the co-founders of @fromkora, a bakery inspired by the richness of Filipino tastes and culture. One weekend, Kim visited her parent's house where she spontaneously decided to bake leftover brioche and combine it with ube. Months later, Kora has turned into a food frenzy - the donuts sell out in minutes. Kora has been featured in The New York Times and on Eater, and this is just the beginning. Kim joins me to talk about why and how she got started, her Queens background, and her future plans with Kevin on where to take Kora.
