Spotlight on Notable Openings
Among the most anticipated spots is Hayakawa, relocated to Star Metals from its original Buford Highway location.

Expect the same high-quality dishes that have garnered accolades but in a new, exclusive setting.
Humble Pie has also made its debut, featuring a menu that highlights wood-fired pizzas and unique dessert options. Backed by chefs from Lazy Betty, Humble Pie integrates local flavors with innovative ingredients, presenting options like broccoli and cheddar pizza or savory potato croquettes topped with trout roe.
Bakery Vibes: Sweet New Additions
If sweet treats are more your style, head over to the newly opened Donnie’s Donuts or Henri's Bakery. Donnie’s brings a contemporary flair to traditional donuts, while Henri’s, a beloved local establishment, continues to charm with its pastries and baked goods, ensuring that your sweet tooth is well satisfied this month.
