"It's been a journey. It's been a lot of ups and it's been a lot of downs,"
"Everything we've experienced in just the past two, three years, it's been crazy. We had the business, we've lost the business, we have the business again."
"I always liked cooking. It was more like a hobby. I would watch Martha Stewart when I came home from school. I'd watch the Cooking Channel with my parents and my dad would always cook. I'd help my dad chop things or see what he did in the kitchen."
"I always wanted to go to culinary school but my mom was against it, especially coming from an Asian family. My mom wanted me to be a doctor."
Sugar Toof is a Filipino-Italian fusion bakery and cafe located at 1511 Sycamore Ave. in Hercules offering cupcakes, cakes, cookies, cannoli, ensaymadas, coffee drinks, empanadas, pasta and other Filipino favorites. The shop is owned and operated by husband-and-wife Kate and Joe Zecchin, who combine Joe's Italian background with Kate's Filipino heritage. The cafe reopened this summer after a fire forced the previous plaza to close; Kate's parents had run the predecessor Sunflower Bakery there since 1981. The owners experienced losing and regaining the business and credit Halloween with helping fuel their dream of running their own shop.
