"Shop Halo Halo, open Thursday through Sunday within the combination bakery and plant store Botanical Bakeshop, is an inventive exploration of Filipino pastries and flavors, with an ever-changing menu of things like bibingka, cassava cake, ube cupcakes, and lavender calamansi shortbread. Those seeking the shop’s namesake treat will find that here, as well, incorporating owner Geleen Abenoja’s house-made ube halaya." - Michelle Lopez
