Trader Joe's Opens in Coral Gables

Just in time for Halloween, Trader Joe's is opening its Coral Gables store. When it opens this Friday, the store, located adjacent to the Shops at Merrick Park, will only be the third Trader Joe's in Miami-Dade. In keeping with Trader Joe's tradition, the shop will be decorated with murals that portray famous Coral Gables sites like the Biltmore Hotel, the Venetian Pool, Miracle Mile, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Trader Joe's is known to celebrate grand openings with balloons, giveaways, and samples all day long. The Coral Gables location will also have live music to entertain shoppers on opening day. 211 S. Dixie Hwy., Coral Gables; 305-661-1432; traderjoes.com. Opens Friday, October 29.

Knaus Berry Farm is Open for the Season

It's that time of year again: Cinnamon rolls are once again available at Knaus Berry Farm! Knaus Berry Farm opened for season a few days ago, baking breads, pies, and — of course — cinnamon rolls. As with last season, there will be a limit — determined on a daily basis — to how many rolls each customer can purchase. Baked fresh daily, the rolls will be sold by the dozen for $14.50, or $1.75 apiece. Expect to wait in line for these delicious rolls, but aren't they worth it? A few tips before you make the drive: Knaus is a cash-only operation, so make sure you hit the ATM, bring an umbrella to shade you from the elements while you wait on line, and make sure to buy an extra dozen rolls to freeze. 5980 SW 248th St., Homestead; 305-247-0668; knausberryfarm.com. Closed Sundays.

Halloween Festivities in Miami

This weekend, get prepared for some spooky fun at Miami's restaurants and breweries. Miami's restaurants are hosting Halloween and Day of the Dead events, while tap rooms are brewing up a variety of Halloween-themed beers. If you're looking for some treats to go with your tricks, forego the supermarket candy and get some hand-crafted delights.  Miami's candy makers, cookie shops, and ice creameries have everything from anatomically-correct chocolate hearts to skull cookies that gush raspberry "blood" to ice cream with creepy crawlies inside. Find them here. If it's a witch's potion you seek, bars across the city are getting creative with themed cocktails for the occasion.
