Kora

Best New Bakeries in NYC Right Now | Eater NY

"Kora — the Filipino doughnut pop-up that once had a 10,000-person waitlist — has opened its long-awaited permanent bakery in Sunnyside. After being laid off from restaurants during COVID, Eleven Madison Park and Union Square Hospitality alums Kimberly Camara and Kevin Borja started Kora in March 2020. Now they’ve opened a bakery that includes some of their greatest hits, like an ube doughnut, as well as pastries stuffed with Spam and chile crisp. Camara and Borja’s ambitions extend beyond the pastry case. The idea is for Kora to eventually function as an all-day cafe, where people can grab breakfast or lunch." - Emma Orlow
