HonestKitchen,Real Story.
Founded in Bandung
West Java, Indonesia
Handmade · No shortcuts
It started with one frustrating question: why is it so hard to find a snack that's genuinely delicious, honest about its ingredients, and doesn't rely on a list of additives no one can pronounce?
Rina Kusuma, Krio's founder, decided to stop asking and start baking. From a small rented kitchen in Bandung, with a compact oven and relentlessly tested recipes, Krio was born in 2021.
Today, we're still in that same kitchen — a little bigger, with a small team that shares the same obsession: making products we're proud to eat and proud to give to the people we care about.

Where each recipe
came from.
Every product in our lineup has a story. Here's how the original recipes were born.
Butter Cookies Classic
2021The very first recipe Rina ever sold. She tested 23 batches before landing on the exact ratio of Danish butter to flour. The secret? Resting the dough overnight — a step most producers skip. The first 50 boxes sold out in two days via a single WhatsApp status.
Dark Choco Brownies
2021 — Q4orn from a holiday order request Rina almost turned down. She spent three weeks sourcing 70% single-origin cacao from a small farm in Sulawesi. The dense, fudgy center took 11 test batches to perfect. It became the highest-reorder product within the first month.
Matcha Lava Cookies
2022An experiment that nearly didn't make it. Rina originally hated the first prototype — the matcha was too bitter, the white chocolate too sweet. After sourcing ceremonial-grade matcha directly from a Japanese importer in Jakarta, the balance finally clicked. It's now one of the most-photographed products in the lineup.
Salted Caramel Tart
2023Requested by a loyal customer as a birthday gift. Rina had never made tarts before. She spent a month learning shortcrust technique, pulled a recipe collaborator in, and launched the tart as a limited run. Demand didn't drop — it's been a permanent menu item ever since.
How we work
From raw ingredient
to your hands.
Ingredient Sourcing
Every recipe starts with finding the right ingredient, not a cheaper substitute. We work directly with local farmers and specialty importers — no middlemen, no compromise.
Recipe Lab
No recipe leaves testing until it passes a blind taste panel with at least three team members. Most products go through 8–15 batches. Some never make it to the menu. That's fine.
Small Batch Production
We bake in small quantities on purpose. It's how we maintain consistency and freshness. You'll never get a product that's been sitting in a warehouse for weeks.
Hand-Packed & Shipped
Every order is packed by hand, checked twice, and shipped within 24 hours of baking. We treat every box like it's going to someone we care about — because it is.
The values we bake into everything.
Local First
We source directly from Indonesian farmers — supporting the local food ecosystem one batch at a time.
Made By Hand
Every product is crafted manually, piece by piece. No production lines — just skilled hands and genuine care.
Zero Shortcuts
No MSG, no artificial coloring, no preservatives. If we wouldn't eat it ourselves, we won't sell it.
Order via WhatsApp. Dead simple.
Pick your products, send us a message, and we handle the rest. No accounts, no checkout queues — just a real conversation with our team.
