‘Charter flights from Mum to shift to NMIA next year'
Ahmedabad: General aviation (GA) flights will be shifted from Mumbai to Navi Mumbai next year. Once that happens, charters and business jets will continue to fly into CSMIA but will not be allowed to park as they will have to drop and fly off or at the most remit park for an hour or two. "CSMIA has about 27 parking stands for GA planes. NMIA is going to have 100 stands, along with 18 hangars for them. It will be India's biggest hub for general aviation flights," Adani Group director (airports) Jeet Adani told TOI on Friday. NMIA will initially house a temporary VVIP area. In 2029 when T2 gets ready there, the greenfield airport will have a dedicated VVIP terminal. "Our focus is also on cargo at NMIA, which will initially handle 8 lakh tons of cargo and will eventually go to 20-25 lakh tons in the coming years. We are in touch with DHL and Fedex to set up their Asia hubs here," he said. Even as the focus is on the upcoming NMIA and the new T1 at CSMIA, Adani said the two airports with a collective capacity of 15 crore passengers annually (CPA) will get exhausted by 2042-2045. "There is an immediate need for a third airport. We are very happy the govt is looking at Wadhwan as the site for the third airport for MMR," he said.

Sips with star power: Melbourne's essential cafes for matcha and specialty drinks
There was a time when 'speciality drink' meant a scalding-hot skinny half-strength latte served in a tempered-glass tumbler. Not to drink-shame, but in 2025, the term is more often deployed in the context of a cafe's liquid calling card: its signature sipper. The rules are simple: it must have the star power to pull a crowd, and it must be ready to serve. What follows is a list, brought to you by T2, of Melbourne's best venues for matcha and specialty drinks. It's part of Good Food's Essential Melbourne Cafes and Bakeries of 2025. Presented by T2, the guide celebrates the people and places that shape our excellent cafe and bakery scenes and includes more than 100 venues reviewed anonymously across 10 categories, including icons, those best for food, tea and coffee, and where to get the city's best sweets, sandwiches and baked goods. (These reviews also live on the Good Food app, and are discoverable on the map.) We'll see you at these venues tomorrow.

Sydney's essential cafes for matcha and specialty drinks
A growing number of Sydney cafes are specialising in neither tea nor coffee. Rather, it's a special third thing. This category celebrates all the forward-thinking cafes turning tradition on its head by serving express-brewed teas covered in cream-cheese foam; milky lattes whisked with hojicha; and pink-hued French Earl Grey in hot chocolate, with fairy floss. You'll find matcha and its many variations here. Yes, matcha is rooted in centuries of Chinese and Japanese tradition, but it stands apart from loose-leaf green tea due to its significant uptake in Sydney over the past two years. Harnessed for both its health and aesthetic properties, matcha has become synonymous with new-wave cafes, which serve it swirled with strawberry jam, whisked into cheesecakes and layered with thick milk foam. Want to know more? Read on for Sydney's best places to drink matcha and other specialty drinks. It's part of Good Food's Essential Sydney Cafes and Bakeries of 2025.

10 Sydney spots to satisfy your sweet tooth (feat. this strawberry shortcake tour-de-force)
Eating out Essential cafes and bakeries Good Food's essential places for sweets and treats include a patisserie where the cakes resemble splendid brooches and a Middle Eastern bakery whose buttery biscuits are best eaten in, accompanied by a chat. As featured in Good Food's Essential Sydney Cafes and Bakeries of 2025, presented by T2. See all stories. Previous SlideNext Slide These are our some of our favourite places in Sydney specialising in sugary treats, whether they're bakeries best-known for banging chiffon cakes, or cafes with ma'amoul better than your mum's. Go on, you've earnt it. This list is part of Good Food's Essential Sydney Cafes and Bakeries of 2025. Presented by T2, the guide celebrates the people and places that shape our cafe and bakery scenes and includes more than 100 venues reviewed anonymously across 11 categories, including icons, those best for food, tea, coffee and matcha, and where to get the city's best sandwiches and baked goods. (These reviews also live on the Good Food app, and are discoverable on the map.) Dear Florence Dear Florence, a patisserie helmed by former Aria head pastry chef Aoife Noonan, is like a jewellery store where you can eat the merchandise. Each cake or tart resembles a splendid brooch or sculpture, carved, modelled, shaped and cooked somehow from eggs, flour, fruit, sugar and chocolate. Must order: The Dream, a cloud-like cake of vanilla sponge and mascarpone mousse, topped with flower petals and a droplet of rosewater gel. 230 Sussex Street, Sydney, Khanom House Self-taught Thai baker Yeen Veerasenee is a market stall success story. Buoyed by the popularity of his matcha Basque cheesecakes, Veerasenee opened a brick-and-mortar in a light-filled corner of Chippendale. His pastry cabinet is a sight to behold – a tour-de-force of strawberry shortcake, billowing with layers of vanilla frosting; pastel green pandan sponge, rolled around subtly sweet coconut cream; and golden-crumbed Ukrainian honeycake, a fluffy, perennial favourite. Good to know: There's barista-made coffee to pair with your cake. 15 Meagher Street, Chippendale, Kuki In a world of cookies sprinkled and stuffed to the nines, this sleek little shop is all about the simple joy of classic, freshly baked biscuit. Flavours range from caramelised brown butter and chocolate chip, to the salty-sweet combo of black sesame and white chocolate. Brought to you by popular Strathfield ice-cream chain Duo Duo, it also offers velvety soft serve on the side. Good to know: It's open late every Friday and Saturday, for those post-dinner cravings. 9/18 Steam Mill Lane, Haymarket, Moon Phase This all-white laneway cafe, a short walk from the Metro, has the classics covered with excellent croissants and kouign-amanns. But it's the visually striking specials, drawing on traditional Korean flavours, which make a visit worthwhile. Case in point, the Busan swirl: a viennoiserie version of street-food snack hotteok filled with gooey brown sugar. Good to know: Moon Phase roasts its own coffee beans, with rotating seasonal blends. Pantry Story Parramatta Road has livened up a little since cosy bakery-cafe Pantry Story opened last year. Most people come for the evolving menu of Asian-inspired sweet treats: a decadent tabletop procession of electric-green pandan mochi cookies, miso butterscotch croissants and wobbling chocolate panna cotta capybaras. Good to know: Dine-in seating is limited to a few stools and covered milk crates. 336 Parramatta Road, Stanmore, Shadow Baking A trio of Messina chefs have pivoted from gelato to pastry, bringing the same bold creativity to croissants, tarts and scrolls. Danishes are regularly on display: golden, flaky nests filled with confit tomatoes, fanned with caramelised fruits or topped up with a thai milk tea sabayon. Just like the Messina mothership, new specials are created weekly and the pastries sell out within hours. Best for: Croissant dough, done differently. Shortstop Coffee and Donuts It's been nearly 10 years since Shortstop opened its first Sydney outpost, and the Barangaroo store still occasionally sells out. So, what's the secret? It's the discerning approach to doughnuts in their forms. Flavours are seasonal (pumpkin spice, apple pie) and never too-sweet, with subtle nods to new trends (strawberry matcha, Thai milk tea) and a solid selection of classics (cinnamon sugar with cardamom, Mexican hot chocolate). Must order: The Australian honey and sea salt cruller has become a staple. Shop 3/23 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo, Smeed Never tried ma'amoul before? Well, you're in for a lovely time. The dense buttery biscuits, filled with everything from dates to strawberry marshmallows, are the specialty at this family-run Lebanese cafe. You could get a six-pack to go, but it's better to settle in for a chat. The hospitality is warm, the coffee is strong, and the pistachio ma'maoul becomes magical when warmed up, served with spoonfuls of clotted cream. Best for: Modernised Middle Eastern treats. 422 Burwood Road Belmore, Sweet Beirut A chandelier-lit jewel of southern Sydney, displaying Lebanese treats like edible art. Rows of glistening baklava. Sugar-dusted ma'amoul. Golden knafeh encased in glass. Among them, harder-to-find desserts like mafroukeh (crisp caramelised semolina layered beneath and ashta clotted cream) and halawet el jibn (sweet cheese rolls with rose petal jam). The quality bests many of its inner city-based rivals and for a fraction of the cost. Good to know: Open until midnight on weekends. Yin Viennoiserie Now, here's an inviting corner of Glebe, with perfect eclairs, individual Saint Honores and decadent pastries topped with the ripest of ripe figs when in season. The raspberry matcha tart receives the most social media love with its dense centre asking to be pulled apart and filmed, but the croissants deserves your attention too. Some pastries are so shiny and smooth you can almost see your reflection. This is high precision stuff. Good to know: There's limited seating if you want to chill with a coffee. 13/131-145 Glebe Point Road, Glebe, Good Food's Essential Sydney Cafes and Bakeries of 2025, presented by T2, celebrates the people and places that shape our excellent cafe and bakery scenes and includes more than 100 venues reviewed anonymously across 11 categories, including icons, those best for food, tea, coffee and matcha, and where to get the city's best sweets, sandwiches and baked goods.
