Sunday C&C officially opened up their brick and mortar bakery, and that alone is something to celebrate. But they’re giving us something more to celebrate this weekend: a big, buttery french toast. A massive slice of milk bread, doused in panela maple syrup and butter. Bring some friends, order one for the table and let the celebration commence.

Sugar Hill Creamery x Je t’aime Patisserie

🗓️ Thru Sun 3.8

📸: instagram @sugarhillicecream

Sugar Hill Creamery is celebrating Women’s History Month with its Bakery Pint Series, a limited-edition run transforming signature desserts from Black women–owned NYC bakeries into ice cream, available one weekend at a time. This weekend’s drop is a collab with Je t’aime Patisserie, dropping a Toasted Almond Croissant Pint. The moment feels especially fitting because Je t’aime is on a female-collaboration tear right now, marking the first time in Must-Eats history we’re highlighting two collabs from the same chef at once.
