Clover Sonoma is getting back into the sweet treat game, announcing that its ice cream line has once again hit shelves at stores across California as of April 8.

The Salty Donut began as a passion project between couple Amanda Pizarro and Andy Rodriguez who decided to embark on a pop-up donut and coffee business in their native Miami while they were still in college.

"It was a tidal wave of factors that bear down on you. This is a process that has been happening for years. Nobody is spending, there are protests, strikes, war, all of it comes to bear here."

"After Eden is about what happens once you leave paradise. There's curiosity, a little temptation and sometimes a bit of chance."

The Misfit became a beloved Third Street Promenade-adjacent hang for New American cooking and cocktails, featuring an airy European brasserie interior with globe-shaped lights and warm wood walls.

Miami's bagel culture has never seen brighter days, especially with the post-COVID influx of New Yorkers bringing higher expectations for the city's bagels.

The Berliner donut, a round, jam-filled doughnut, is made from lightly sweet yeast dough and is typically finished with powdered sugar or icing. Traditional fillings include jam or citrusy marmalade, while modern versions may use cream or chocolate.

"What we didn't expect was the response - customers were coming by, messaging us, and sharing stories about what the restaurant meant to them. It made us realize this wasn't just a place to eat - it had become part of people's routines and memories."

Gasoline doesn't have a particularly high profit margin, which is partly why most gas stations double as convenience stores or offer fresh food. If chains like Buc-ee's and Sheetz can make more money by selling food, they can afford to lower their margins on gasoline.

Modern Bread and Bagel is a gluten-free shop that started in New York City and has expanded to Los Angeles with three locations. It was created by Orly Gottesman, who wanted her husband, with celiac disease, to enjoy high-quality gluten-free baked goods. The pastries are exceptional, with a large selection available daily, including unique items like crumb cake and chocolate zucchini bread.

The concept is exactly what it sounds like: a crisp, buttery bureka shell gets packed with spiced tomato sauce and a soft, jammy egg, essentially folding shakshuka into a handheld pastry.

Chobani's sweet-cream coffee creamer was my favorite, and I also enjoyed the ones from Trader Joe's and Too Good & Co. Horizon's creamer was tasty but a bit too pricey.

Joe's Ice Cream is a longstanding scoop shop that has kept the children of the Richmond hopped up on sugar for decades. It's a pretty straightforward operation: they have classic flavors like chocolate and cookie dough, plus some less traditional ones like sweet red bean, peppermint stick, and even wasabi.

Now, everybody loves having a good ice cream tub in the freezer, but if you're indulging in the frozen treat by yourself or sharing it with just one other person, you have to admit that a small pint is so much more convenient. Tillamook knows it, too - so it's finally rolling out Cookies & Cream and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavors in the pint size!
