Milk District restaurant Pom Pom's Teahouse & Sandwicheria has been in the news recently, what with no longer serving sandwiches in the evening, and then introducing cold noodles instead, all the while asking the local community for help as the restaurant struggles post pandemic, and now we have another update from Pom Pom's. Back in March, regular award winning sandwich shop Pom Pom’s Teahouse and Sandwicheria revealed that is was changing up its menu and would no longer be offering its main menu item to diners at night - sandwiches. So during the daytime hours the 17 year old Milk District business would still serve what it known for, delicious sandwiches, while on Wednesday through Thursday from 7 - 11 pm, Pom Pom's Teahouse & Sandwicheria would be serving up cold noodles. Whether this has been successful or not, last week, Pom Pom's owner Pom Moongauklang posted on Facebook that the restaurant needed the communities support, citing that "nights aren't what it use to be." Moongauklang explained that since the pandemic they are trying their best to stay open, all the while battling a lack of customers. In the social post Moongauklang said "Please just give us the opportunity to serve you up some amazing sandwiches and now we have a cold noodle concept that is equally delicious." He continued "Please consider us as a meeting place before going out, to dance, see a concert, or just to catch up with friends. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO BE HERE FOR 17 YEARS. Please don't forget the goodtimes at PomPoms. We hope to see you soon." With the lack of customers appearing to be a problem in the evenings it would certainly appear that the cold noodles are proving not to be as popular as the sandwiches, and the great news is that yes, the nighttime sandwiches are back on the menu! =Pom Pom's will still have the cold noodles on the menu, but the sandwiches are back on the menu at night, with Moongauklang commenting “I heard you … LOUD AND CLEAR … You wanted the sandwich menu at night and you got it." The very latest from Pom Pom's is that owner Pom Moongauklang has posted an update on Facebook yesterday, Sunday, June 5 with the good news that the restaurant has been very busy following his appeal for more business! Here is the full update: "It's been a week since I posted about how things were going at PomPoms... From our hearts we are very grateful for the support everyone has given us! THANK YOU TO ALL THE LOCAL BUSINESSES that has come by, used us for catering their staff or has cheered us on !! Its been very very emotional, your love for this tiny shop is undoubtedly been felt.. to the new customer that saw the post and came out. THANK YOU for giving us a chance, and letting us know it was your first time, and you came to support, and lastly to all the OG's that have been coming in for many years. It was great getting reconnected again with you we wouldn't be here this long if it wasn't for you." So with the yummy sammies that everyone loves back on the menu, hopefully the tough times are behind the Orlando's award wining sandwich shop.

Things To know Before Visiting Gideon’s At Disney Springs! Gideon’s Bakehouse is a popular single-owner small business based in Orlando that has gained international attention when it opened it's location at Disney Springs. It can get pretty crazy at the Disney Springs store with people waiting for hours to get their hands on a prized Gideon's near half pound cookie! To help you get enjoy lots of yummy Gideon's goodness, the bakery have shared some helpful information based on an average day to set an expectation and help you plan. • The bakery opens at 10 am, but the line typically begins to form at 9 am, when the parking garage opens. • Once the bakery opens, when the line gets too long, they switch to a Virtual Queue. This allows you to go anywhere while waiting for a return text. On weekdays the Virtual Queue can start anytime from open to evening or not at all, depending on crowds. On weekends and holidays it can happen right at 10am. After receiving your text, you will check in at the end of the return line. It looks scary but is typically no more than a 15-minute wait. For international guests, we will give you a return time if you can’t receive texts. • Sign up for the queue must be done in person. When active, you will find Gideon's staff to the right of the front door under the protection of Gideon's Gargoyle. • Plan for wait times of around two hours. For busy days (Friday through Sunday, holidays, holiday seasons), the virtual queue averages five hours. The earlier you arrive, the shorter the wait and the better the selection since limited edition items will sell out. A general rule, if you know the parks are slammed, we’re slammed. • On average, between 6 pm and 8 pm every day the virtual queue is active, and the waiting list will hit capacity. When this happens the bakery closes the queue to handle everyone on the list and to ensure the bakery closes on time.

It's fair to say that things aren't going so great over at Winter Park restaurant The Hen & Hog, and with a Go Fund Me page set up, owner Chef AJ Haines is appealing for help. The Hen & Hog at 221 W Fairbanks Ave Winter Park is looking for the local communities help as the restaurant struggles with rising food costs, parking issues, and health struggles with Hen & Hog's Chef AJ Haines. The Hen & Hog has taken to its social media accounts to explain the current difficulties being experienced by the restaurant, and to appeal for help. "It has been a tough year so far with many changes and adjustments to our business plan. We need your love and support now more than ever." The social media post stressed that their love for the business and their passion for food has never wavered. The restaurant explained what recent problems have been affecting the business,"Chefs recent surgeries have been one of the hardest things to overcome, parking issues and rising prices of food and supply chain issues have affected us all." Back in January, Chef AJ Haines had a sudden onset of diverticulitis, forcing the business to close while Hanines received emergency surgery to remove his large intestine. With the business back open, things haven't gone as planned with Haines, slow to getting back to a normal pace at the restaurant with limited hours. Haines has been in a lot of pain, with working at the restaurant causing some hemorrhaging from his surgical area. The restaurant continued in its social media post explaining what it is doing to help with the parking problems, "It has been a short time at our new location, we have worked on creating more parking areas for you and your friends and family to join us for brunch, lunch and dinner. Fannie Hillman and the Bagel Dudes behind us have offered up parking during the hours they are closed. We also have a newly paved parking lot with designated parking for restaurant patrons." To help the restaurant, Chef AJ Hines has a Go Fund Me page, organized by Stephanie Krupp, although what the restaurant want more than anything is for the public to visit and support the restaurant by dining with them. In asking for the local communities help to overcome a tough spell for the business, they commented, 'Add us to your choice for locally owned businesses destinations. There's no time like the present to show your love for all the locally owned businesses."
