PopUp Bagels opens 2nd Boston-area location at Assembly Row
Somerville, MA PopUp Bagels, the “Not Famous but Known” bagel shop, opened its second Boston-area location at Assembly Row (334 Artisan Way) on July 25th.
Following the momentum of their Seaport launch earlier this year - with lines down the block, a live DJ, and a crowd-pleasing partnership with Grillo’s Pickles - they’re excited to continue growing in Boston and bring the PopUp Bagels experience to Somerville.
The new 1,190 s/f space will offer the same hot-out-of-the-oven, whole bagels that have redefined the bagel experience in NYC, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
