New Fresno food in October: Clovis matcha, Yemeni coffee, smashburgers and more
October loaded the Fresno food map with new openings worth lining up for — a Syrian-pastry cafe pulling 8,000 date lattes in two months, an L.A. matcha chain finally landing in Clovis, three Yemeni coffee shops expanding across town and the next move from the group behind Heirloom, Otherside and Saizon. Here’s the month at a glance, bookmark-ready. Rumi Coffee is the sleeper hit of the Northwood corner The foodie glow-up at Alluvial and Fresno Street is real. Rumi Coffee opened in July from the owner of Fabiano Coffee Roasters, serving Syrian baklava, tiny edible birds nests, fig labneh toast and lattes built around cardamom, rose water and orange blossom. The top seller: a golden date latte with date syrup that drinks like caramel. “I don’t think anyone else has a date latte in Fresno,” owner Hamed Alghazali said. The shop sold 8,000 in two months. Same corner: Dumpling U , the TikTok-viral soup dumpling spot that opened in January and still pulls crowds for its hand-folded xiao long bao and beef rolls. House of Kebab just added a Greek street-food section with slab-of-feta Greek salads, a no-bake “lazy cake” and hummus topped with filet mignon. Yemeni coffee is officially

Fresno’s Cats Need More Than Kindness—They Need a Community
You might recognize me as the controversial cat thief on TikTok or as that random alt baddie who keeps showing up in your neighborhood with a Havahart humane trap (or two). But allow me to formally introduce myself: My name is Kelsey, and I’m the founder of KVLT Kitties Animal Rescue. Behind the tattoos, traps and controversial internet commentary is a commitment that’s pretty straightforward: cats deserve safety, care and someone willing to show up and keep fighting for them.

North Fork Casino Stays Open as Judge Rejects Chukchansi Tribe’s Emergency Bid
Construction officially began in 2024, with a reported $725 million price tag. A federal judge in Fresno has refused to grant Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians an order that would have forced North Fork Mono Casino to pause operations. This will leave the new Madera property open while the dispute moves towards the Ninth Circuit.

This Asian restaurant in Fresno is making big changes 8 years after it opened
For an authentic taste of Korea, a plane ticket isn’t needed. Fresno’s Asiana Korean Restaurant , at 90 E Magill Ave, Ste. 101, is just off Blackstone Avenue. It’s been around for 8 years, and owners Zhangjie Jin and his wife Mee Ryung make everything in-house. After eight years in business, they still make changes to the menu, but those changes always come down to two key points: What's popular in Korea, and what’s popular with their existing customer base. So while there are dishes that will never leave the menu, like galbi, bulgogi and japchae, the owners are also introducing a new dish to Fresno, malatang. The dish is a Chinese street food, where, like hot pot, people can select the ingredients they want to include and have those ingredients quick-boiled in a broth. At Asiana, customers can pick which ingredients they want to include from a self-service bar, as well as if they want the dish to be spicy (and what level of spice they might want), as well as if they want it to be a soup or dry. The ingredients are then weighed and paid for, and then Zhangjie takes the ingredients and prepares them. While

Two weeks left to enjoy this viral Clovis coffee trend before the menu changes
When the calendar hits mid-November, these pumpkins are going to go away — at least until next year. Spirit Made Cakes , a Clovis bakery that also serves coffee and other food, has already served hundreds of cups of coffee in the mini pumpkins this year alone. The bakery started serving drinks in pumpkins last year, when owner Vartine Garabet saw the idea from a cafe in New Jersey. Garabet brought the mini pumpkins into her shop, even though the process is labor-intensive. She and her team clean, carve, wash and dry each mini pumpkin, and she estimated that it can take between 45 minutes to an hour to process up to 6 pumpkins to the point where the bakery can serve drinks in them. Still, the payout is worth it: videos featuring Spirit Made Cakes’ pumpkin drinks quickly went viral on social media. “We have to get so many pumpkins,” Garabet said. Two of those pumpkins were ordered by Katie Hollenback and Madison Peckham, two friends who stopped by the bakery with their children, six-month-old Wiley and 19-month-old Saylor. Hollenback ordered a pumpkin spice latte in her pumpkin, while Peckham chose a white chocolate mocha with cold brew. “This

For Chris Carsten in ‘Water for Elephants,’ the Saroyan Theatre is home. Sort of.
The last time we saw Chris Carsten perform in Fresno, he did it with an intensity so pummeling that it reminded me of turning up a stereo until the sound distorts. That was in 2022, in Good Company Players’ masterful production of “A Man for All Seasons” at the 2nd Space Theatre, and Carsten played the pivotal role of Thomas Cromwell with an explosive, even reckless, performance. It was stunning.
