    Sunny Anderson's Special Sesame CC
    Jason P.

    As the saying goes, Popup Bagels isn't "famous, but they're known." I'm not sure when that saying was conceived, but they may actually be famous now. Originating out of CT, they've won the Brooklyn Bagelfest competition twice. They have locations in New York and CT. The legend is that you have to pre-order or you risk not getting bagels, and the pre-order package is a dozen and two schmears for $42 unless you upgrade. I'm not a PopUp expert, but it seems like part of the reason for the pre-orders is they're trying to give you warm bagels at your chosen pickup time. I don't know what would happen if you went to a Popup without preordering. When I went to this Newtown location, I saw a menu with different and less expensive order options than the $42 package, and there was no line of people. So if you live nearby, I might chance popping in, to Popup. This was my first visit to any Popup. There is no seating. I ordered a dozen of three types of bagels. Sesame. Everything. And Raisin. I also ordered three schmears. Plain. Scallion. And the Special Sunny Anderson Sesame with Tahini. The bagels were warm and fragrant. Popup has mastered the art of filling Sesame and Everything Bagels with "the stuff", which is always visually inviting. The bagels are very soft. It's almost like biting into a Bready Cloud. I've followed Popup content on Instagram and it's more or less known that the best way to eat Popuo Bagels is to rip off pieces and either dip the pieces into the schmear or spread schmear onto the pieces. It would be difficult to cut bagels this soft. So that makes sense. The scallion and sesame schmears were both very good. Most people have their own idea about what's a real bagel. There are people who like Chewier NY Style Bagels. People who like thinner Montreal Style Bagels. If you like a softer style of bagel, I can't imagine it gets much better than a fresh, warm, Popup Bagel. With numerous very good closer options, I'm not sure I would make a special 50 minute trip there again. I would, however, make sure I got to Popup if I knew I was near any of their CT locations. 4.5 Stars, which is partially based on their decision to only offer pre-orders at a $42 price point. That doesn't seem like the most consumer friendly option that would still work for the business.

    These bagels are delicious, but beware they are expensive. It is $42 for a dozen bagels and two schmears. Their variety is all in the cream cheeses -- their special flavors rotate weekly. I've seen Oreo, butter popcorn, hot pineapple butter, and more. They are always unique and tasty. Their bagel flavors are always the same (the classics). Sesame, plain, poppy, everything and salt. Every order is made hot and fresh. Their bagels have the perfect crispy crunch on the outside and are soft, and fluffy on the inside.

    Bagels are made fresh every 20 minutes. They are going to do very well, and this is the best spot in Newtown!

    So glad they have a location in town. They'll blow any other local bagel out of the water.

    The bagels were warm, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the scallion cream cheese "schmear" was tasty.

The staff is very attentive and kind. The menu is varied to the point of having difficulty choosing. We chose Hungarian stuffed cabbage and trio salad. HUGE portions are their signature. My meal came with a cup of soup & I chose matzo ball. Also, I chose baked potato and chickpea salad and a side tossed salad. I do not eat processed sugar and they had oil and vinegar to dress the tossed salad. We had 2 large pieces of challah bread with it and hubby had half of a lemon danish for his dessert, saving the rest for tonight. The bakery section is very impressive and I would have had a very hard time back in my sugar addicted days. This place is already on my calendar for next year's return.

    I am obsessed with Robeks in Newtown, CT!! Ive ordered ahead on their app two days in a row…read more I will start out with its a bit pricey a 22oz medium size smoothie is $8 plus. However, when You buy organic its more expensive. When you shop at Whole Foods & Trader Joe's vs Big Y and Shoprite its more expensive. You pay more for the health benefits. Day 1 I got a medium nuts about protein smoothie (which has active water, peanut butter, coffee, raw honey, cinnamon, multi vitamin, and non fat frozen yogurt). This shake also comes with whey because I excluded that Im not looking to be buff! All the ingredients are so fresh and I feel like a health nut drinking it. Except its absolutely delicious. Day 2 - I got the same smoothie in large but this time with peanut banana toast. My husband would never normally touch non crunchy peanut butter. But he tried my peanut butter toast and actually liked it! Using the app I was given several rewards for money off my first day I used my $3 off reward for using the app. Today I used the $2 off reward for my first order and I still have $1 left in rewards for a new rewards program they have. Between the protein and fruit smoothies, acai bowls, and toasts Im sure You'll find at least one thing you love.

The issue here is that there is normally only one person at the counter. To have four people in front of you is to wait 15 minutes for a drink. Nope. I have walked out twice because of this.

I wish I would have taken a pic of my sandwich…read morefrom the 1st time the George Foreman with the homemade tortilla chips, and homemade pickles. That sandwich is what made me want to go back. Today I brought my husband in based on pics of their pizza from reviews on Facebook. We ordered a large Hot Oil Pie, and Garlic Knots to eat there. Then a large cheese pizza to take home. In addition I had an iced carmel salted latte one there ,and it was so good I took one to go. On top of it the family that owns Dodingtown were just as friendly and welcoming as the first time I came into their business. Now lets start with the iced salted carmel latte so creamy, and refreshing but not too sweet. The garlic knots have sliced pieces of garlic, nice plump dough, and the sauce was to me perfect! The hot oil pie if you like HOT this is your pizza. The peppers used on this pizza are green chill peppers, and red italian long peppers. These peppers together bring the heat. The crust is thin and crispy, and the sauce is a delightful homemade sauce. You can tell their pizza is made with the best ingredients. Dodgingtown is a local business You want to know from their sandwiches, pizza, baked goods, coffees, teas, etc. I am looking foward to the next time I can eat at Dodgingtown Market & Deli‼
