- Kora, a bakery in Queens, is known for doughnuts filled with traditional Filipino flavors. Kimberly Camara runs Kora out of her small apartment where she, her boyfriend, her mom, and some extended family work tirelessly each week to pump out over 500 donuts to eager customers. While the doughnut flavors change week to week, the signature leche flan doughnut is the star of the show, it’s a brioche doughnut filled with leche flan cream, topped with leche flan and burnt caramel, and then sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Hundreds Of Leche-Flan-Filled Doughnuts Are Made In A New York Apartment
This entire story of how she loved her grandmother so much and now gives the world a taste of what made her so happy is so cool. 💕
I started to cry
@@WoahhTeamJacob be abl i💻n excel to somethings be 💻💻?'re bettert you better get ❤️ deleted it💻💻 orderer I

I really hope in Novemeber they do celebrations in her honor and all saints day.
tbh this reminded me of a scary story where a husband feeds people his wife’s dead body because he loved her so much, like worshipping.
Everyone's saying oh the video is definitely filipino while i'm here tearing up about how she found the leche flan recipe. I bet her lola kora's proud af in heaven. 😭
It's just so flippin wholesome, I think we all love it ❤
She said in a different interview that she found her grandma’s old recipe book when/after she died.
When i saw the ube colored donuts, Immediately say "The Owner must be a Filipino"
Truly Filipino.
Truth 😄
Yes sir
What’s ube?
@@GrowInTheDark purple yam 🍠
Kudos to the boyfriend for supporting this Filipina's heritage through food! "Lola" is surely looking down from heaven, with a wry, loving smile of Filipino Grandmothers, whispering "do it right, or else!" 😁
A butterfly probably came and they know she wants them to do it
The moment I read 'leche flan' in the title, I instantly became intrigued. Clicked in the speed of a lightning bolt.
For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whosoever believes on him should not perish, but have everlasting life...God loved us first, would you show your love to him. Repent and be converted. Now is the time for salvation, tomorrow may be too late
@@brotherdj777 Amen.
@@brotherdj777 amen god is with us 🙏🙏
Same here. One does not simply say "leche flan" without clicking on the video
@@brotherdj777 unsolicited religious preaching
This is the beginning of Kora's Donuts. Then a year later, they operate in a cloud kitchen to fulfill bigger orders and their customer base grew over time. Great job! Maybe in the future when I go to NYC. I will order a box of these.
I just watched their video from Eater. It's amazing how they moved from an apartment to a bigger kitchen and the owners are still hands-on!
The owners are pastry chefs by trade.
@@iahphrodite samee got this in my recommends after watching that
Me too. :)
Hi...what is a cloud kitchen? 🙂
I am a Filipino living in Jacksonville, Florida and I am blown away. This is a wonderful tribute to her Lola and this brings the flavors of traditional Filipino desserts and elevates them into a more available form we have almost every day. If they ship to Florida, I would order some of those in a heartbeat.
**reads title**
Me: This SURELY is Filipino.
**finishes video**
Called it! Especially when I saw the recipe book.
The siopao hits home. ♥️
@@johnbrexbriones1465 It does
@Dani P
Whaddya know, Philippines was once a colony in Spain or if I’m wrong somebody will eventually correct me
Tis why lots of dish are kind of merged or influenced by Spain dishes or stuff idk
@Dani P Well, Spain invaded the Philippines for over 300 years. However, when I saw the recipe book in the video it was written in Filipino.
@Dani P flan isn't the only thing there in the video. There's also ube and somehow like a concept of halo halo which are both traditional Filipino desserts.
These are the type of chefs who truly inspire while paying homage to grandma's recipe. Unlike the "fancy" upturned nose chefs who would put gold leaf and caviar on a donut.
I know right
Yeah i would rather eat a glazed donut than a donut with caviar -_-
They are both valid.
What's wrong with gold leaf and caviar on donuts?
Yo hold up who tf put caviar on a donut thats fked up
Grandma's recipe book will never fail you. Inspiring story of people making an opportunity out of the pandemic and at the same time having Kimberly's grandma immortalized through the food they make.
So a year ago I moved from California to Indiana and my neighbors in CA were Filipinos and the food was amazing not to mention the family. Now I have a additional my bucket list wanting these donuts and being so close to NY now!
My childhood best friend was Filipina and her mom made the absolute best leche flan, there is nothing like her halo halo topped with flan I miss it so much 🥺
I just watched another, more recent video on Kora, where the crew is still working hard, but now in a commercial kitchen. It's really gratifying to see this success.
I’m Chinese-Filipino American and I’m sooooo proud of this article 🇵🇭 🇭🇰 🇺🇸 .
How is that possible...........
Ok cool
@@ChristianJade6629 , dad’s a Hongkonger, mom’s filipina and I’m born and raised in good old 🇺🇸 .
Oh
You mean a chinese-filipino person
With american citizenship
@@ChristianJade6629 , yup you’ve got it right. 😊👌
Us Mexicans would go crazy for this 🤤😍😩😭🔥 looks delicious much Iove primos 🇲🇽 🇵🇭
Do yall have Leche Flan too? Some Latin American countries have them.
@@sashabraus7642 yeah they do aha
@@sashabraus7642 yeah and a chocolate one too
@@520MOR3NOAZ Wow
@@sashabraus7642 and it’s so good when someone knows how to make them homemade
My coworker before is a Filipino and every time we have a party from work, she usually brings lots of food and I tried the pancit and bbq pork that’s so delicious and I love how they care about us. I mean all Filipino are so hospitality. Tbh 🥰
I bet that purple donut is ube flavored.
The whole thing is halo halo flavor but the top is ube. They also have a purely Ube donut too with ube chips or purple yam chips on top.
If you watch it till the end you will see the names of the flavored doughnuts.
@@rumblefish9 "halo halo flavor" lmao
Yeah it was
@@chrono-glitchwaterlily8776 what is funny about that? Halo halo is a flavor in the Philippines. We have halo halo flavored ice cream here. This is how they describe the donut:
"Halo-halo doughnut complete with classic mix-ins like flan, pinipig, banana chip and sago, and whipped with coconut cream with kaong and ube glaze. There’s even a maraschino cherry on top!"
Ive read the news about this and there are like 10k on the waitlist. As a filipina this really makes me proud bringing the filipino dessert on the map. With leche flan you can never go wrong...Napaka galing.!!!!
4:10 The swearing had me sold. Not that I didn't wanna try them before because they look tasty but when someone swears because of a dessert you know it's really good. I love that they're using her grandmother's handwriting in their logo. That's sweet.
when she said Filipinos.
Pinoy: Assembles!
🤣🤣💯💯
speak for yourself
😂😂
_CRINGE ALERT_
*#PinoyPastTensed*
Very creative donuts with a twist of popular Filipino desserts. Great for breakfast or afternoon miryenda. ♡♡♡ ☆ ♡♡♡
Yeah its super duper yummy :)
Its better when its creamy for me
(you can do that by removing the whites)
Its perfectly sweet too, its not suprr sweet but its delightful :)
Yeah it's a very popular dessert in the Philippines but I think it originated in Spain.
Leche flan originated from spain
Flan originated in the borders of Spain AND France.
@@spoon4732 It does though recipe is different. Much like our menudo is different from the spanish version.
Love how you objectively reviewed the doughnut. Not like other reviewers where they bite it and say "hmmmmmmm" and then wraps up the review
Turon + Churros= churron
GENIUS!!!
Perfect!
Pinoy foods are instant comfort because we never count the calories, sugar, salt, or anything. Its only indicators are 1) super good taste, and 2) will it feed everyone if they come back 2-3x for refill. So happy for them!
Satisfying to see flan fall in place .
Always great to see people's modern take on traditional food
Your Grandma must've been so Happy right now wherever she was!!. She was smiling at you and cheering you on a Job well done!!. 🙌🙌🙏🙏😍
Awe I wish I could take my abuela there I know she would love this, flan is our favorite Mexican dessert 🍮
Leche Flan a mexican dessert?
@@OFDCLK it’s Spanish Latin American Filipino dessert 🍮
@@RihannaCarlaMorgan If you read OP comment, its mentioned MEXICAN DESSERT hence my question. But okay, thanks.
And we filipinos are the mexican of asia✨
The second I saw the words "leche flan" I was like "Filipino." 😆
Spain
@@spoon4732 nah it's leche flan for a reason, look it up, it's not your typical flan.
@@jpespinosa4539 I know it's famous in the Philippines but I just thought of Spain because it was brought over the Philippines during the Spanish colonization but what do you mean by "nah it's leche flan for a reason"?
no argument or anything I just don't get the point of your comment.(and by that I don't mean your comment is pointless)
@@jpespinosa4539 It is hispanic. Not exclusive to The Philippines but I have noticed that it is more famously associated with The Philippines because of the media.
And what do you mean by, it's called leche flan "for a reason?"
@@hijodelsoldeoriente I’m Filipino and I agree with you, what does “It’s leche flan for a reason” means? LoL.
The Leche Flan is a giveaway. So Filipino.
So meticulously and perfectly made, every single doughnut goes through a whole process to become a masterpiece! ❤️
Happy 2021 folks!
❣
Looks so extremely delicious
I'm genuinely suprised that this has only one like (my like)
Have you tried it?
Get your "here before 100 likes" ticket here
prepare for several people saying "why are you following me" and straight up harassing this dude for talking
Yeah you should try it the omniscient commenter
4:09 when you gotta go off script cause the doughnut is too dam good
🤣🤣
I drooled watching her bite into it. But she and I had the exact same reaction. It looks good. She si said it tastes good. I'm sold.
lol
She's exaggerating... How can anyone accurately judge the taste of something after 1s
@@xxluapxx lol that's a genuine reaction, exaggerating would take like 5 to 10 secs after you bite then you react like that. You know it's a good food when after you bite you can't say a proper word to describe it.
Such a great effort, very much appreciated. Thank you Food Insider for addressing the hardworking professionals :)
Give these people a factory already! I need those donuts in my life! 🙈
One thing about the pandemic has Ben the ability to find and connect with many home chefs on Instagram who offer their culture’s foods or specific dishes that I otherwise would have a harder time to find in restaurants. I’ve had Indonesian, Lao, Sri Lankan food that were very good!
Did she say "titi" instead of "tita" lmao
Drum 🥁 lick
😂😂 Dick
Titi is aunt in certain Latin countries
@@Moss_piglets The joke is that it mean "penis" in Filipino.
@@Moss_piglets but they’re filipinos so titi means dick in tagalog. Lol
Whenever I’m hungry I come here.
Thats sad😭
Its been 3 days since my parents have fed me. Gets pretty lonely down in the basement.
@@rive-bs4sg I’ll drop off some food. Is there a window in there
@@rive-bs4sg haha no way, ur parents lock u the basement too??
Hentai Master too??
This is amazing and so inspiring. Love how she and her partners seem so understated about their success yet their fail forward is something that some of the most prominent turn around consultants can only dream of advising their clients. Kudos, Kimberly Camara. Mabuhay!
as a donut lover and a Filipino I am very proud to see something like this, hope I can taste their donuts someday
Leche flan is a really popular desert in the Philippines and it’s the best. Filipinos are the best cooks you’ll ever meet
facts
Thanks to the Spanish
I'm eating leche flan rn and I just ordered 10 leche flans yesterday
@@countryballlover2594 yessss me too and for new year’s eve
@@mar7268 we wouldn't want to thank 333 years of unforgettable slavery and abuse
I would literally fly to New York after the pandemic just to try these donuts. Been following them for a while and they have such innovative flavours!!
When she was talking about her Lola that really hit me. R.I.P Nanay I love you. (We called my grandma Nanay/Mother.)
All the best Filipino desserts placed inside and on top a donut!
I love how filipinos are slowly introducing these delicious childhood filipino dishes to other countries
we are everywhere since the Spanish colonization. We got more widespread everywhere because we have a lot of overseas Filipino workers mostly because some jobs, such as in healthcare, have low wages and a lot of work abuses here in the Philippines, which is sad. Mostly, being an OFW is a necessity rather than a want.
Truly inspiring. The quality, very meticulous and well organized.
Imagine one of these with some hot chocolate in the morning looking at the NYC landscape.
I teared up just listening about her story and the grandma. Resonated so much and also the high quality donuts and hard work!! Amazing work!! 🥰🥰
When there's a party we always expect LECHE FLAN as a dessert 😋😋😋 I’m from the 🇵🇭
Your grandmother is so proud of you. 😭💖 I wish I could have a taste of your donuts. It looks unique and I bet it would taste awesome. ✨
If I ever see a Leche Flan in a title, I have that instinctive feeling that this must be made by a Filipino.
When a Filipino/Filipina is featured in any video I feel proud for them even I don’t know them. It’s like our Nation is just a Whole Big Ass Family🥰
2 of my literal favorite foods, doughnuts and leche flan, in one? AM I DREAMING????
This is how God create wonders in people's lives. In this instance, her Grandmother who will live forever through her unique doughnuts recipe .
Lola’s hidden recipes 👌🏻but im sure she sees everything even on the other side and happy seeing her love ones doing all these. She left a treasure meant for them.
What amazes me more is that the recipe was found in an old notebook, its like your grandmother is making her another legacy❤️.
Buti na lang new year, may leche flan kami sa ref 😆
Leche Plan is a staple in the Philippines for Christmas and New Year.... And whenever you crave these dessert. Yum!!!
OMG Leche-flan is literally my childhood so seeing this makes me happy all the time
wow one of a kind recipes so simple and great flavors yummy
Ngl, I was tearing up when they talked about the owner’s grandmother that inspired her
I'm also a Filipino and I really love to cook leche flan especially on holidays 💕
I want to have my own bakery and cafe shop. The fact that I love and miss my Grandmother so much, this is just so ❤️💚💙.
I LOVE FLAN BY ITSELF. BUT FLAN IN A DONUT! Gonna make me act up
-Cheers from a Mexican in Cali
I can already imagine how insanely sweet that donut is.
i think the salt in the leche flan balanced the sweetness
@@czypherth I hope the flan was made with citrus instead of vanilla. When I made leche flan I used orange essence and I found it somewhat made it less cloyingly sweet. Traditionally the flavor was lime zest.
you know the taste is legit when the host curse after she took a bite
Their business started just around 2020, it's a young business but a huge success.
Here in 2022 after seeing her big kitchen and new space on Eater and I'm very happy for Kora and it's growth
Look her up on the channel Eater! Her business has grown so much, but her passion for her heritage remains.
I immediately missed my family in the Philippines! After Miss Rona, we'll go visit again!
I love the story behind the company plus those doughnuts do look bomb as hell 😍❤️
Oh my goooossshhhhh i need this in my life! This shop needs to have a shop in the Philippines.
Aww la bendición de la abuelita 🍮💫💞

I am a Filipino. I see Leche Flan. I clicked, while eating leche flan! A delicious coincidence 😋
No, it's meant to be.

Wow, what an update, was watching your video on eaters TH-cam channel!
My mom loves to make leche flan every Christmas... One of my fave filipino desserts ❤️
"tell me youre filipino, without telling me youre filipino"
That looks amazing I hope they can open a storefront one day
They look amazing!! Have to visit for sure one day... We need donuts like theses in the West Coast 💛
Wow, very innovative. That's what we need to make our Pinoy food and heritage breakthrough the mainstream. Well done and God bless you more
I'm a simple Filipino. I see leche flan, I click.
Those look good. Might have to try them next time I'm in town!
That’s a beautiful story. One centered around family.
When I see "Leche Flan", I clicked it right away 🇵🇭
Kuya Will hahaha

Grandchild learns their recipe: ☑️
Has ube and leche flan: ☑️
Their partner is taller then them: ☑️
Yeah this is deffo a filipino video 😫 good lord i crave those donuts now
I'm gonna be helping my Ate make leche flan for New Year's Eve 😊
The whole kitchen.....was superb clean......
I love the design for the leche flan donuts ♥️
Wtf this apartment is huge 😂
Ikr? I expected it to be kinda cramped but bruhh
Their business is going well, so it makes sense that they can afford that big apartment in NY.
For a business like this, it's probably cheaper to rent an apartment (studio?) than a pricey restaurant space that would lock them into a longer lease. Plus since people are fleeing NY, I bet they got a good deal
At first I thought it was going to be two people living and running their shop from a tiny apartment, too, and I thought...hmm where do they sleep in there? lol
I'm filipino and casually scrolling. when I see Leche flan, I click fast.
I'm just watched Eater video about them, OMG ,their growth from house kitchen into industrial size kitchen just amazed me
When i saw this recommended video like i was *My country is time to shine*
Every time I see any Filipino related content from other countries I really click fast I dont even know why
Lechen flan-doughnuts wow 💖💖 yummy 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I made flan like two days ago. But I made it with cream cheese. Came out delicious
I knew the owner is a filipino because of the leche flan! Proud pinoy here! Pinoys are really creative! More power to you guys! You deserve the love!
