I came to the Suhoor for Humanity festival during Ramadan and happened upon this food truck. I…read morewasn't initially planning on getting kunafa, but it was cold outside and I saw other people getting desserts with a huge cheese pull, and it was being served steaming hot. I couldn't resist. I got one serving of kunafa. I didn't get the option of adding syrup or pistachio, but the sweetness of the dessert was on point. The top was crunchy and contrasted nicely with the soft cheese underneath. The cheese was pretty creamy and smooth, and had a fresh taste. I have never seen a food truck serving fresh kunafa, so it's wonderful to have the option of enjoying dessert at food festivals!

I can't say enough great things about Abu Knafa! Their knafa is as authentic as the incredible…read morefamily behind it. They pour their heart into everything they do, taking immense pride in their craft. When they helped host our school event, their generosity and passion shined through--people couldn't stop raving about the knafa, even those trying it for the first time! This family-owned gem has made our community proud, bringing people of all backgrounds together through the joy of sharing food. We're big fans and will absolutely turn to Abu Knafa for all our future special events! -Annie Hussein

Their menu is seasonal but I overheard that this tart is this month and quiches are only on Saturday! I had a really lovely HAKUREI TURNIP, GOAT CHEESE GALETTE WITH AN EGG. Even though it's a very small space, they were so homey and inviting. They offered my galette for here and heated it for me with a plate, silverware and some water. Such a nice touch! And while BD baking is right around the corner with more seating -- I do feel that they fill a different niche and I mean I had a quiche here then went down to BD to get a chai and a loaf of bread for home.

I found Czechbox Bakery by accident, but what a fortuitous accident! Gretchen, the owner, is a…read morewonderful baker and pleasant to deal with. We got a blueberry pie (freshly baked), an apple strudel and half a poppy seed strudel (both frozen). You can get the strudels either freshly baked or frozen to bake later; same with the pies, I suspect. The pie and apple strudel are the absolute best I've ever had, and I grew up with a grandma who made these desserts! The poppy seed strudel was also very good, but it has raisins, which is traditional, but I personally don't like very much. The apple strudel does not have raisins - yay! Gretchen does heritage baking, hence the desserts are not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. They are perfect!

The strawberry crumble slice was too sweet for me and cakey (I usually prefer pies so next time I want to try one of their tarts). The lobster tail was quite crunchy and unique. Flavor was ok. My husband prefers these kind of desserts more than me.

We both got the Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and loved them! I could definitely taste the brown sugar and appreciated the right amount of ice and smooth espresso. It wasn't too strong and had the perfect sweet flavor. The staff was kind and our drinks came out quickly! The atmosphere was clean and there were plenty of seats if we had wanted to stay and chat or do work. I always appreciate having a variety of seating options. There are fabric benches that aren't pictured where we sat while we waited that were cozy. This elevated our hike and I will definitely be coming back!

You can find them by their distinctive sign of two little bakers carrying a giant rolling pin. Terry's Bakery features everything from super moist specialty cakes to scones, quiches and pies. Come on in and sample familiar wares fresh from the source. You can order cakes in advance by placing orders on their answering machine, I recommend you ask for a call back to confirm. They are open Thursday- Saturday mornings for browsing and buying. Parking is a pain but the trip is worth it.

The staff were very friendly and helped me decide on a drink. I recommend the Socotra latte if it's your first time as it is their signature drink and reminds me of a gingerbread latte.

There's great history in their art hung and I loved learning more about the culture while I was there too!
