It's called Crust and it's the new artisan bakery (and pastry shop) in Cascais
Founded two years ago and operating out of a production space in Alcântara, Lisbon, Crust has been supplying dozens of restaurants and cafés with their handmade breads and pastries. On July 10, they landed in Cascais with their very first shop open to the public – and it's not just the same old favourites on offer. You'll find the new bakery and pastry shop in the Navegador building, on Avenida 25 de Abril. 'Lisbon already has so many options... So we thought: why not Cascais?' says head baker Lucas 'Fefo' Ferreira, speaking to Time Out. 'We believed there was more room to grow here – and this first week has already been a success', the Brazilian proudly adds. With around 30 seats and a counter lined with breads of all shapes, sizes and colours – plus croissants, focaccias, brioches, bagels and pain au chocolat – Crust is far more than just a bakery. On the menu you'll also find açaí bowls (€10), granola bowls (€8), avocado toast (€11.50), eggs Benedict (€12.50), and a summery green salad (€10). You can also opt for the courgette pancakes topped with yoghurt sauce, smoked salmon and a poached egg (€12); the burrata toast with caramelised peach, sliced prosciutto, onion and homemade honey (€12); the croissant stuffed with cashew paste, burrata, prosciutto, rocket, roasted pepper, Parmesan and honey (€11.50); or the ciabatta toast with prawns, rocket, spinach, mango and grapefruit (€12.50). Creativity knows no bounds here – one of the latest additions is a brûlée cube. Also catching the eye are the Russian and Ukrainian specialities, like syrniki – little cheese pancakes served with berries and sweet sauces (€11); or the various traditional Eastern European breads, such as Borodinsky, a dark rye loaf, Vatrushki brioches, or the rich black bread with chocolate and raisins. 'We've adapted the original recipes in our own way', says Lucas, referring to the team's diverse background. 'The owners are Ukrainian, and many of our colleagues are Ukrainian, Russian and Brazilian'. The group is also behind the Lisbon restaurants Manifest and Shakar. In fact, Crust was originally launched as a production kitchen supplying bread and pastries to those spots, before branching out as its own brand. The company also owns Roastberry, whose specialty coffee – in various origins and formats – is now being served at the new Crust in Cascais. 'The idea here is to have some fun, experiment with different products, and introduce variations without compromising the rest of our work', explains Lucas. 'All of our breads are made with a long fermentation process – nothing is immediate – and we have a deep respect for the time it takes to make good bread. Our goal now is to keep those artisanal principles while scaling up production. We want to move into a larger facility so we can reach our full potential', says the head baker, who currently oversees the daily production of around 150 loaves, in addition to all the other baked goods. 'And eventually, we want to open more shops – but this is our first test run dealing with direct-to-customer sales'.

‘Squid Game' Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By An Unusual Show
Squid Game Well, I just wrote that a new, relatively obscure series was going great by debuting at #2 on Netflix's Top 10 list after season 3 of Squid Game, a show it was obviously never going to surpass. Guess what? Squid Game has now been dethroned by Sullivan's Crossing, the Canadian TV show that has three seasons, two of which are on Netflix, which first started airing in 2023. The third season is on right now, but that hasn't made it to Netflix yet. And a fourth season is coming. Here's the synopsis: My doctor wife started watching this yesterday and pointed out about three medical errors in the first five minutes so The Pitt, this is not. But people seem to like it, though there are barely even enough critic or audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes to make heads or tails of its quality. IMDB is probably a better metric, and it has a 7.2/10. In context, that's quite good. I assume it's gotten a full two extra points just for Chad Michael Murray's hair. Squid Game This happens periodically with Netflix, where some very random, licensed show crops up and somehow becomes the most watched program in America for some amount of time. Often these are older, cancelled shows, and sometimes that leads to fanbases attempting to revive them. But this isn't Manifest; Sullivan's Crossing is still going strong. Squid Game? Despite being #2 now, it doesn't matter. Season 3 has soared up the Netflix charts and despite only being released two weeks ago, it's the third most-viewed non-English language season in Netflix history behind, you guessed it, season 2 and season 1 of Squid Game. It will probably pass season 2 eventually, but probably not the viral sensation of season 2. These figures also make season 3 of Squid Game inside the top 10 of all Netflix seasons, currently tied around Bridgerton season 3, and it will likely pass up The Queen's Gambit, Bridgerton season 1 and Dahmer in the coming weeks. Rumors of spin-offs of Squid Game are still swirling, the most likely of which being an American version, but as ever, that has not been confirmed. And to touch briefly on one more list item, I expect to hear about season 2 of The Waterfront in short order here. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.

Halo Season 3: Latest update on renewal status and everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 7, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 7, 2025, 11:39 IST If you're a Halo fan, you're probably on the edge of your seat wondering about Season 3 of the Paramount+ series. The show, which brings the legendary video game universe to life, has had its share of ups and downs, but it's left us all craving more of Master Chief's adventures. So, what's the deal with Halo Season 3? Is it happening, or are we stuck in a cliffhanger limbo? Here's everything we know so far. The Current State of Halo Season 3 As of July 2025, Halo Season 3 is still up in the air. Paramount+ pulled the plug on the series in July 2024 after two seasons, leaving fans stunned, especially after that jaw-dropping Season 2 finale. The cancellation wasn't entirely out of left field—word on the street (or rather, industry reports) suggests the show's massive budget, rumored to be around $200 million for Season 1 alone, was a tough pill for Paramount+ to swallow. Add to that some rocky fan feedback, and the streamer decided to call it quits. But here's the good news: the Halo team isn't giving up. The show's producers, backed by Xbox, 343 Industries, and Amblin Television, are pitching the series to other platforms. Netflix is the big name in the mix, especially since Halo Season 1 landed on their platform in March 2025 and shot up to the fourth most-watched English-language series globally, racking up 4.2 million views and 32.1 million hours watched in its first week. That kind of buzz has fans hopeful that Netflix might just save the day. Could Netflix Save Halo Season 3? The recent surge in Halo 's popularity on Netflix has given fans a glimmer of hope. Netflix has a history of reviving canceled shows, such as Lucifer , You , and Manifest , when they perform well on the platform. Since its debut on Netflix in March 2025, Halo has seen strong viewership in countries like Brazil, Mexico, and the Philippines, suggesting it could find a new audience. Fans have taken to social media to urge Netflix to pick up the series, with comments like, 'Halo on Netflix is 10/10. Please go watch it so we can get a season 3!' However, a revival faces challenges. Reviving a show requires renegotiating cast contracts, securing funding for its high-budget production, and ensuring enough viewer demand to justify the investment. With Season 2 airing over a year ago, many actors, including lead Pablo Schreiber (Master Chief), may have moved on to other projects, complicating a potential return. Additionally, Netflix's track record shows that revivals are rare unless a show demonstrates exceptional performance, as seen with Manifest . While Halo 's recent streaming numbers are promising, it's unclear if they're strong enough to warrant a third season. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

'I swapped budget paint for new Millie Mackintosh range and it's incredible'
Upon buying my own house, I hadn't anticipated the sheer volume of work it would entail. From painting to wallpapering, panelling, laying floors, and general carpentry, there's hardly a task I haven't tackled. Three years of relentless DIY have honed my ability to distinguish quality paint, which piqued my interest when I was invited to try out the new Millie Mackintosh range by COAT Paints. I must admit, the results have left me impressed. Over a year ago, I decided to revamp my hallway with a rich dark green on the lower section, complemented by a soft cream hue above and a sleek black finish on the doors. The decision to go for darker shades was driven by a desire to conceal the inevitable marks and scuffs brought in by my dog. While it did mask the dirt well, I hadn't considered how dark it would make the area feel. Thankfully, natural light from a landing window kept the upper floor bright, but the entrance hallway suffered from an unwelcoming, gloom – not the first impression I wanted for my home. Despite my dissatisfaction with the atmosphere, the thought of redoing it seemed too daunting, so I resigned myself to living with it for a while, reports the Mirror. However, when the chance arose to inject some new life into the space, I seized it eagerly. Delving into COAT's latest offerings, I selected the "soft fresh green" Manifest for the lower walls and paired it with the "Earthy Pale Beige" Centred for the upper sections. Having a dog and a young child, I was hesitant about using matt paint due to its propensity for marking easily. Instead, I opted for the soft sheen variant, which offers a more durable finish that's easy to clean off any grubby handprints. First impressions The paint was delivered promptly and securely packaged with tape on the lid and clips on the tin to prevent any mishaps during transit. The sticker indicating who mixed the paint adds a personal touch, reflecting COAT's commitment to sustainability. The company asserts that each colour in this new palette is designed with minimal environmental impact in mind, utilising COAT's made-to-order model to reduce waste and ensure every paint can serves a purpose. As previously mentioned, I've experimented with numerous paint brands over the years, and it was immediately evident that this one is of high quality. It applies effortlessly without dragging and feels incredibly smooth on the wall. I also noticed it has very little odour, eliminating the unpleasant lingering smell often associated with painting - plus, it dries rapidly. The Centred beige shade evokes memories of Dulux's Egyptian Cotton ( £36 for 5L at B&Q), a colour I've previously chosen for my living room. Centred offers a tranquil and neutral tone that, in my opinion, would suit virtually any space seeking a calming atmosphere. I was so taken with it that I even extended the colour to the ceiling, banishing the conventional white in the process. Admittedly, painting the ceiling to match the walls isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's an interior design trend I've embraced and repeated on several occasions. However, it was the green hue of Manifest that truly delighted me when I tackled the lower section of the wall. This lighter green breathed new life into the hallway with each stroke of the brush. Generally speaking, the paint provided excellent coverage; although covering a dark shade with a lighter one can sometimes be troublesome, a single coat did a commendable job, with just a second coat needed to perfect areas where the darker colour peeked through. Choosing a soft sheen finish for its added resilience proved to be a wise decision. After installing new glass doors and inadvertently knocking the freshly painted walls during the process (the doors were quite heavy, in my defence), I'm relieved to report that the paint has withstood the initial wear and tear remarkably well. I also snapped up a 1-litre tin of Manifest with an eggshell finish priced at £38, captivated by its suitability for metal – an ideal choice to brighten up the hallway radiator. It was a swift job; just a couple of coats did the trick, flawlessly complementing the wall colour. There's hardly anything to criticise, overall I've been very impressed with it, the only thing of note to mention is that it obviously isn't the cheapest out there. The 5-litre tins of both Manifest and Centred cost £96 each, in addition to the 1-litre of eggshell paint at £38. This paint truly excels in quality, yet comes with a more premium price compared to some other brands. For those watching their budget, my experience over the years has led me to find Dulux trustworthy at the budget-friendly end. A particular favourite of mine is their 'Overtly Olive' green in the 'Easycare' range, claiming to be "washable and tough" – which, in my case, has proven true. You can bag this for £42 for 5 litres at B&Q. Lick is another brand I've used, painting my main bedroom in a blue tone and finding it a delight to work with, though the cost is pricey at £39 for a 2.5-litre tin. What else is in the Millie Mackintosh range? The elegantly chosen Millie Mackintosh collection presents a palette ideal for every corner of the home, from serene bedrooms to lively bathrooms. The 35 year old former 'Made in Chelsea' star shared her thoughts on the venture: "Creating a mindful home environment has been essential to me, especially as I've navigated motherhood and my personal wellness journey. "Every colour in this collection is a reflection of that - whether it's the calming tones of 'Balance' or the warm embrace of 'Gratitude.' I wanted this palette to encourage people to slow down, reflect, and create spaces that feel comforting and rejuvenating." The COAT x Millie Mackintosh range boasts six unique hues. The lineup includes Presence, a Blush Plaster Pink; Poise, a Pale Blush Pink; Centred, an Earthy Pale Beige; Renew, a Teal Blue; Manifest, a Soft Fresh Green; and Nourish, a gentle muted sage green. With each shade available in six different finishes – Flat Matt, Soft Sheen, Interior Eggshell, Exterior Eggshell, Claypaint, and Floor Paint – there's a perfect texture for every surface touch-up or transformation. Prices across the collection cater to various needs and projects, starting at £30 for 1L, £56 for 2.5L, and reaching £96 for 5L cans. To make decision-making simpler, eco-friendly peel-and-stick samples are available for each colour, boasting fully-recyclable credentials and claimed 100% colour match accuracy with the actual paint.
