Made for the moments

Our story

From our roots
to your table.

Umoja Beignets Co. is a Congolese-founded food brand inspired by the warmth of home and the joy of sharing. The name Umoja speaks to unity — the feeling of belonging that grows when people come together.

We bring that spirit to every batch: a welcoming treat, a moment worth slowing down for, and a little taste of togetherness wherever it is shared.

Across Africa, these beloved golden treats go by many names — Beignets, Puff-Puff, Bofrot, Pasti (ፓስቲ), and more. Different cultures, different names, but one shared joy: the warmth of freshly made bites and the memories we create around them.

Unity in Every Bite.
One treat, many traditions

Beignets, Puff-Puff, Bofrot & More

Across African communities, similar golden fried dough treats are known by different names. In Congo, you may hear mikate or beignets; in Nigeria, puff-puff; and in Ghana, bofrot. Other communities have their own names and recipes, including pasti (ፓስቲ). The recipes and traditions can differ, but sharing warm treats brings people together.
