The story of the Umaga Bakehouse dream started with Robert and Kissel who met while working together at a bakery back in 2007. Their shared passion for baking and appreciation for their culture propelled them from humble beginnings to the heart of Chicago’s culinary scene.
Umaga Bakehouse isn’t just a bakery; it’s a labor of love, a tribute to family, and a celebration of culture. Every piece of bread, every pastry tells a story-a story of resilience, of dreams realized, and the power of love. Through their dedication and unwavering commitment, Robert and Kissel hope to create a legacy that pays homage to their parents’ hard work and inspires others to follow their dreams.
