The Ice Cream Souk @The Souk!
Philly Hummus Girl Pop-up @The Souk on Passyunk!
We’re back at The Souk on Passyunk for a new refreshing pop-up called THE ICE CREAM SOUK — hosted by @shopminimalchaos — on Saturday, August 2nd at 12PM-2PM or until we sell out!
BOOZA – A stretchy, chewy Syrian-style ice cream made with mastic and ground sahlab from orchid tubers.
FALOODEH BASTANI – A Persian dessert of icy rice noodles sweetened with rosewater and lime, served over saffron-infused vanilla ice cream (called bastani), topped with tart sour cherry syrup.
While you’re keeping cool with our sweet treats, be sure to explore The Souk! It is such a cool spot and Sarah, the owner and curator, has created a beautiful community space for everyone to come enjoy and learn about Arab culture!
These were my fave sweets when I was growing up in Dubai! I lived in Deira, an older neighborhood along the historic Silk route - so I’m excited for my childhood faves to become your faves too!
Yalla byeee see you there!!

Makers Table
The Makers Table is a dinner party experience designed for creatives, artists, and makers to come together, collaborate, and connect. Each dinner spotlights a different industry or creative niche. For dinner No.6, we’re focusing on women in the hospitality industry.

As more women step into leadership roles, their influence is creating more inclusive decision-making and a stronger focus on collective well-being. It’s not just a tribute—it’s a chance to inspire the next generation of women in hospitality and showcase the creativity and strength they bring to the industry.
Please note that The Makers Table is invite-only.
