Once upon a time, there was a gap in New York’s food scene: a city full of sweet bakeries, but almost no places where savory took the spotlight. Hello Halloumi was created to change that; built entirely around one favorite ingredient from back home (and, as we’re learning, a favorite here too): halloumi.
​
Rooted in Cypriot food traditions, Hello Halloumi reimagines the bakery experience through serious flavor and comfort. Our halloumi is sourced directly from Cyprus through a fellow Cypriot business owner, supporting small producers and preserving the authenticity that makes it so special. You’ll also find our halloumi focaccias soaked in Cypriot olive oil, exclusive protein bites crafted by a Cypriot fitness guru, and more collaborations with makers we love. It’s all part of keeping this little piece of tradition alive, one bite at a time.
​
We sell all pastries by the pound, so you can mix, match, and try as many flavors as you like. And yes, our halloumi is the real deal: PDO-certified, meaning it can only be made in Cyprus. Anything else is just pretending.
