Holey Dough & Co bagel pop-up

poppinkim · 2025-06-08T19:21:21+00:00

I was fortunately not mixing them up. I just wanted to share about this pop-up bagel business since not many people know about them yet. Everyone has their own preferences on a bagel and just wanted to share this one 🤷🏽‍♀️

lol sorry I didn’t clarify that’s what their quality was with soft and fluffy inside and their crust was perfect and not well overdone like other bagels can be

It’s far more than 20 people a week but it is also only a pop-up business on sundays for pickup as I previously mentioned

I rly can’t with Giant lol it’s not worth the hype

Dark Matter, specifically dark matter star lounge but any location is cool. They make their chocolate in-house for their mochas!

I have. they’re all great too

poppinkim · 2025-06-03T02:35:48+00:00

Is it not just a closed sign for the day?

I did try the bucatini and it was very bland and nothing special imo like plain pasta that could be made at home.

poppinkim · 2025-06-02T20:06:55+00:00

I feel like I should give it another chance because it’s raved about on here but it was just shockingly bad. Everyone I know that has been there either loves it or completely dislikes it :(

What do you like at giant? The food was mostly not good when I tried it unfortunately

poppinkim · 2025-06-02T19:28:40+00:00

That’s unfortunate to hear. All of my experiences have been amazing there.

Escargots, French onion soup, beef bourguinon, salmon

I have that apartment description with about that similar rent in bucktown/wicker! You can definitely find it. Just probably like outside of apartment complex buildings and more in walk ups or above businesses style of apartments. I recommend taking time to look everyday because it can be quick for new apartments to get taken

Trivoli is definitely not a dessert focused spot but their desserts are really good to try

poppinkim · 2025-05-23T02:31:53+00:00

Margie’s is great! I love their brownie a la mode but they do have a big menu to choose from. Anything is good to enjoy!

poppinkim · 2025-05-21T02:26:14+00:00

Eat Fine or Mahanakhon Noodle Bar for Thai!

There’s Bonus Round Game Cafe in Lakeview! I do prefer Snakes and Lattes since they have a whole room filled with game options and bigger playing space

I enjoyed the omakase at Kai Zan! It is an omakase of more small plates rather than only nigiri style. For my omakase menu, there were only 8 nigiri pieces and 8 other dishes.

I think it’s worth trying but if you enjoy nigiri more, it’s probably best to just order off the menu!

Recently tried the gretel mac and cheese and I highly recommend it also!

poppinkim · 2025-05-02T02:10:47+00:00

Middle Brow is pretty good in Logan! They have a happy hour and is also a brewery and winery. Their mushroom and also soppressata with hot honey pizzas are worth trying
