Banana Bread Au Chocolate | Mibo Bakery | 155 Beaumont Street
Love banana bread? Love pain au chocolate? Mibo's Bakery has come up with the inspired combo of two of our favourite pastries!

Avocado & Oreo Soft Serve | Miguelito's Soft Serve | Elliott Stables
Looking for something different? You'll definitely find that at Miguelito's! This new soft serve spot opened just in time for summer in Elliott Stables, and they serve up unique flavours and combos like purple yam and avocado. Influenced by Filipino flavours and cuisine, they also serve gluten-free and dairy options, meaning anyone can try out their cool and unusual flavours. It's a must-try spot for any ice-cream lovers or foodies!
