“WE HAD the idea for The Pie Hole in our late twenties; as three friends who loved dessert, we wanted to share that with others. We were in graduate school or starting new jobs, but we decided to take a chance and do something that we had always wanted to do. So, we brainstormed an idea for a café where we sell pies that we like or want to try, which became The Pie Hole.

We also try to interact directly with our customers and work with people that share our values and work

“OUR BAKERY was named after Gordes, a small town located in southeastern France. On the walls of our café, we have written our motto: to become an honest bakery that provides freshly baked bread every day.

That was when I wanted to start

“THIS IS my sixth year of working as a librarian at Yonsei. Although I did major in the Dept. of Library & Info. Science with the initial goal of working at a library, I tried to keep my doors open to different career paths. However, one day my senior told me, ‘Lawyers meet people who break the law and doctors meet people who are sick, but librarians meet people who prepare for tomorrow.’ This ultimately inspired me to become a librarian.” “Since I work in the Underwood Memorial Library (UML) at Yonsei International Campus (YIC), I usually teach freshmen how to use the library, search basic da
