A small bakery in the West Village is making rich, Halloumi cheese-filled pastries that are unlike any other. The brick-and-mortar launch of Hello Halloumi happened a few weeks ago and their savory pastries are bringing Cyprus' diverse flavors alive in the Big Apple. Originating from the birthplace of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, Cyprus is home to the production of halloumi cheese. Known for its unique savory, salty and slightly tangy flavor, the cheese has a growing market in the U.S. in recent years.

Michele DeSmet and Courtney Tomioka, the couple behind bakery Made out of Dough, decided that instead of launching just a storefront next to their bakery to sell their products, they'd create a marketplace for other small businesses and vendors to sell their products, too. "It's literally an industrial warehouse that we turned into this little co-op," DeSmet says. "It's almost like a mini farmers market."

The fall dessert menu includes a caramel upside-down cake, the best banana pudding ever made (my words), a plant-based mocha cookies & cream cake, cookie butter brownie bars, a pumpkin swirl crunch mini Bundt, a coconut pineapple cake slice, chocolate Boston cream pie, and the otherworldly guava chiffon cake that was the calling card of H&P's San Jose business a few years back.

You'd be hard-pushed to name a more iconic London restaurant than St John. Since opening in 1994 i n a former bacon smokehouse by Smithfield meat market, Fergus Henderson's legendary spot has reimagined British food with his pioneering nose-to-tail dining, earning a long-held Michelin star. Even the late, great Anthony Bourdain called St John the 'restaurant of my dreams'. High praise indeed.

Eoin Cluskey, owner of the Bread 41 bakery chain, expressed a strong interest in expanding his business by stating he is 'actively looking' for a unit on the northside of Dublin.

"Guests can expect frequent pop-ups, evolving specials like new takes on Smørrebrød, and shelves stocked with a curated mix of imported Scandinavian goods and local pantry staples..."

Vominh noted that the employees informed him they did not have the necessary funds after initially submitting an offer he accepted.

Arquet is set to open at the former Slanted Door in the Ferry Building, offering full-service dinner and a bakery named Parachute.

Navigating the influx of custom Instagram cakes requires careful selection, but with expert guidance, birthday celebrations in Portland can be truly special.

"It's so good...I don't think it's too sweet, and I still get a good, strong coffee flavor," says TikTok user Anna Fenstermacher.

"Affordable prices—that was our key when we started this restaurant," Gangadhar says. "If a person is coming with even $5, with $1 chai and one puff he can have a good evening."

At Yardsale Cafe, you can enjoy browsing a unique selection of trinkets and indulging in delicious pastries, making it a cozy spot for sweet treats.

The butter brioche from Le Pain Quotidien disappointingly fails to meet expectations, presenting a dry and stale taste that masks any potential buttery sweetness.
