WEEKLY FEATURED MEMBER OF THE EXPERIENCE MEKONG COLLECTION: YANGON BAKEHOUSE – YANGON, MYANMAR

Weekly featured member of the Experience Mekong Collection: Yangon Bakehouse – Yangon, Myanmar

Yangon Bakehouse began in 2012 with the idea that as the country began to open up, an opportunity existed for women in Myanmar to become more empowered through skills training and education. Strong women make a strong community. Our apprentice program, internships & team culture places a premium on women being economically empowered, educated and active in society.

Travel Experience

Another of the social enterprise breed of restaurants, the Yangon Bakehouse runs to employ and benefit disadvantaged women. They make good quality coffee and sandwiches among other options, with the only downside being that the portions are far too small. They also bake fresh bread daily and offer delivery.
