January is a time for reflecting on KORA’s journey and on the life of the very person who inspired it all. It is both the month of Lola Corazon’s birthday and the month she passed from our world to be a guiding light for the years that followed.

Chef Kim and Kevin started KORA just months after her passing, inspired by the recipes in her handwritten recipe book, named after her with a logo following the strokes of her script.

We often wonder how she would have felt sitting in the dining room of our shop, looking on at the hustle and bustle of the bakery, at all the smiling faces, basking in a space that was built on her love, hospitality and legacy.

Today, Lola Corazon would have been 95 years old.

We will be open from 9AM-1PM tomorrow, January 25. Please stay safe and stay warm.
