Lion’s Paw Cookies That’s not it. Lion’s Cub Cookies Nope. Lion Cub’s Cookies THAT’S IT! That’s the ticket. Singular lion, possessive cub, many cookies. On a personal level, the baker’s name has been challenging. Its house cookies are large and truly mounded, like big predator paws. That initial association has wrecked havoc in the memory department. But […]
Treat to Try: Sadie Baby Sweets

Of all the eating holidays, Easter is the best. There’s the ham, the hashbrown casserole . . . and most importantly, the giant chocolate eggs and bunnies. There’s not another holiday where you get to decapitate a large confectionary mammal. To be honest, personal anthropomorphic tendencies have pretty much sucked the joy out of the chocolate bunny […]

In the musical chairs department, Henderson Road’s Sunrise Asian Super Market closed its doors on the south side of the street, and opened its doors across the thoroughfare on the north side. It might seem like an awful lot of trouble to haul and relocate all the goods across the street, but the move puts […]

If the name wasn’t a giveaway, the sweet, malty air that surrounds Winston’s Coffee & Waffles will tell you what’s on the menu. Inhale, and you can guess it even with your eyes closed. Fresh-made, deep-pocketed waffles provide the foundation for all its edible items – savory and sweet. And while waffles may be associated with syrup, […]

Bakes by Lo might be best known for its pretties. Its social media feed is filled with photos of breathtakingly gorgeous cookies and treats, decorated with an artistry that mere mortals simply don’t have. And the wares aren’t just cute, they’re creative too. As in, conversation hearts frosted with dry burns on top, or maybe a set […]
Short Order: Wario’s Beef & Pork

The skies turned black when Sandman’s Cheesesteak abandoned the Arena District a year ago. An absence of walk-up cheesesteak sandwiches creates a void in the universe, and a giant hole in the stomach. That hole is emptiness. And then, the resurrection. Word broke that Wario’s Beef & Pork set up a walk-up operation in the same […]
Restaurant Review: Addella’s on Oak
February 25, 2021 10:00 am Miriam Bowers Abbott
Addella’s on Oak is a second act of sorts from Angry Baker. The latter closed the doors on its original location back in 2019, after a decade in the business of creating epic cinnamon rolls, pastries, and sandwiches. When the Baker first debuted, it was part of a pioneering eatery initiative on Oak Street. Addella’s marks a […]
