My brother helped me with getting an interview from his friend Kevin Tang who is the son of the owners of Café Bakery and Restaurant. I basically interviewed him through Facebook asking variations of the questions from our interview questions list. He had trouble asking some questions with his mom, but would try to help with anything in the future.

1. Is Café Bakery a family run business?
When my parents first opened this place, it was just a bakery run by both my parents with some help from other family members. My mom currently runs the bakery side and my dad runs the restaurant side. No one else from my family works here now.
2. Are your parents 1st generation in the US?
I am actually 1st generation, but my parents first immigrated here from China in 1989.
3. When did Café Bakery first open and when did you guys add the restaurant side?
Café Bakery first opened in 1994, but the restaurant side wasn’t added until about 1996.
4. What motivated your parents to open this place?
There were no Chinese bakeries in the neighborhood and thought it would a good business to invest in because there were no Chinese bakeries nearby. Business was slow and not working the way they planned. My uncle suggested they could try selling more than just baked goods which is when the bakery became a small restaurant.
