Business

BY JOVANNA AGUILAR

Robin’s Snowake Donuts & Cafe becomes Spring-area staple First-generation Americans Robin and Vuth Nou opened Robin’s Snowake Donuts & Cafe on July 4, 2016. The business was a culmination of life-altering events endured by the Nou family. “My parents always struggled to give us a better life, and I think that’s probably what inspired this,” Robin Nou said. How it happened After Vuth Nou was laid o from his job and Robin Nou beat breast cancer, the couple decided it was time to fulll their dream of becoming business owners to leave a legacy for their children. “We didn’t really have formal training or any- thing, but we were motivated,” Robin Nou said. Roughly one year after opening, Hurricane Har- vey hit the Greater Houston area and Robin Nou said the cafe quickly gained a following, as it was one of the only businesses operating during the storm. “This is a business that puts food on the table, and we believe in giving back to the community when we can,” Robin Nou said. How it’s going After almost eight years, the doughnut shop has become a favorite in the community. “We constantly have lines out the door,” she said. In addition to doughnuts, the cafe is well known for its boudin-sausage, smoked brisket and break- fast egg rolls, which Robin Nou said were inuenced by her mother’s traditional Cambodian-style egg rolls. The bakery also oers fritters, kolaches and fresh-brewed coee.
