This classic Mediterranean dessert is made in-house with crunchy layers of phyllo dough drizzled with honey and topped with pistachios. Starting at $16, the assorted Baklawa Box is available now at all Pita Jungle locations.

Not to worry, though, the Baklawa Box will be available after the holidays, through 2023.

Baklawa is available in multiple restaurants around the city so if Pita Jungle isn’t in your desired range, check out Istanbul Mediterranean Cuisine &  Bar, Zayna Mediterranean, both Opa’s locations, Nur Market, Caravan Mideastern Foods, and more.

Pita Jungle is located at 7090 N. Oracle Rd., #128. For more information, visit pitajungle.com.

@Hello_bicycletucson is closing its doors permanently after five years in business. The owners shared the news on Instagram on Sunday, but there’s still time to stop by before they close.

The cafe will remain open through August 16, while the bicycle shop will continue operating through August 23. After that, the owners will prepare the space for new ownership.

They also hinted that a new business will soon be taking over the Midvale Park Road location.👀 

“After 11 years in Seattle as Hello Bicycle, and 5 years in Tucson as Hello Bicycle & Cafe, we are closing our doors for good. Thank you to everyone who rode along with us, we couldn’t have done any of it without you.”
