The Rustic Tart Invites You to Have Some of the Best Desserts in Norfolk

I didn’t know what to expect when visiting Norfolk. While I have a friend who went to college in a neighboring city and another friend who relocated to Norfolk, my only frame of reference for the city is what I’ve been told. I never had the chance to create a first-hand opinion let alone establish

I Love Mr. Holmes Bakehouse and It’s Not Just Because of Their Pastries

I’ve been going back to Mr. Holmes Bakehouse a lot since they first opened and I don’t mind looking like a bit of a stalker. Peering through a window at an unsuspecting resident is never acceptable, but when it’s to an array of pastries and desserts one might not report it to the cops. In

Habana in Costa Mesa Will Change the Way You See a Brunch Buffet

I feel like brunch buffets have a bad reputation; at least to me that is. Whenever I think of them I immediately have memories of the typical buffet housed in casinos or the one whose name rhymes with “dome down toupee”.

Reminiscing on Holiday Pastries with Sidecar Doughnuts (Yes in January)

Remember the holidays? I know we’re nineteen days into 2017, but the holidays only happened a few weeks ago. If it were May and I was talking about Christmas, then maybe you could roll your eyes at me. Since it’s not, allow me to continue. For the most part, the holidays were great. The seasonal

Mr. Holmes Bakehouse Wants to Be Your Neighbor

Remember that time you had to go to the DMV? I know, it’s a horrible memory but stay with me. You pulled into the parking lot and you saw the line wrap around the building, not once but twice. Well, expect that same length of a line minus the horrible customer service at the grand

Quick Eats: Donut Friend in Highland Park

Donut Friend in Highland Park

The other day my coworker asked me the most random question, “What’s your favorite nut?” I thought about it for a second and responded, “Donut.” Peanuts are overrated, walnuts are ok, but donuts are always perfect. Ever since he asked me that, I struggled to have a stream of thoughts without one of them being
