After nearly five months since the four-alarm fire, the beloved all-vegan bakery will reopen Saturday, August 24, in the South Wedge.
Dining
Rising and shining in Webster: Golden Boys
If you’re an early riser with an appetite, head to Webster, where Golden Boys is undoubtedly the sweet spot for breakfast in summer.
Hearty, fast fare at El Cuchifrito
Named for the Puerto Rican fried fare on its menu, El Cuchifrito opened on Norton Street in June, but already feels like a neighborhood staple that’s been there for years. The fast comfort food is great for when you want a quick but hearty bite.
Sweet Mist makes ice cream magic
Theatrics aside, the technique is well worth it: flash freezing with liquid nitrogen makes the ice cream smooth and dense. Sweet Mist offers classics like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, but there is also matcha green tea, saffron, sweet ginger, and dill pickle.
Rocco owner opens seafood dining bar
Rella, which opened on Monroe Avenue in June, is a casual but refined seafood-centric dining bar, where you can watch the kitchen’s every move. There are no tables, and no waiters. Instead, the cooks do double duty, deftly plating and serving dishes while chatting with the diners just feet away.
Sweet treats and keto cakes at Tu Amor
Tu Amor Cakery goes beyond cupcakes with sweet and savory offerings, from spinach artichoke turnovers to puff pastries in a variety of flavors such as pineapple cheesecake or guava.
What! Crawfish! serves food to shout about
If you have ever eaten a lobster, you know how to tackle a crawdad. All of the crawfish at What! Crawfish! are shipped live daily to the Henrietta restaurant.
Beyond phแป at Tony’s Diner & Vietnamese Cuisine
The original plan was to serve breakfast food in the morning and Vietnamese food in the afternoon and evening. More people came for the Vietnamese food so owner Anthony Lam dropped the diner fare. But it’s more than phแป and bรกnh mรฌ sandwiches.
Stingray SushiFusion gets a brick-and-mortar on South Ave
Rochester-based food truck Stingray SushiFusion has offered a blend of Latin and Japanese cuisine since 2013. Just recently its owners Radhames and Josรฉ Veras joined the ranks of other local food trucks who have expanded their biz to brick-and-mortar joints.
Chick’N Out Thursdays at Blossom Road Pub
Rochester’s newest fried chicken joint isn’t a brick-and-mortar (yet) but does pop-up nights around Rochester, including its Thursday night stint at Blossom Road Pub (5 p.m. until sold out!)
Jines, rain or shine
Rochester mainstay Jines offers a wide-ranging and inventive menu of tasty homemade food at reasonable prices (including Greek specialties and breakfast all day), as well as outdoor seating on the prime people-watching corner of Park Avenue and Berkeley Street.
A sweet expansion for Cheesy Eddie’s
Don’t worry, the South Wedge shop is not going anywhere.
