They leaned more airy and soft on the inside, bread-ier, and less aggressively chewy than a classic NYC bagel. The sandwiches, though? Very good. The standout for me was their house-made, slightly sweet jalapeño jam cream cheese -- honestly wished every bite had more of it. Overall, a great collab experience, and we'd happily go again for their next pop-up.

The bagels drops are a bit hard, so definitely keep an eye on their instagram stories and set notifications if you want these!

A smaller Squishable store, but still a fun stop while you're in the Water Tower Place. There…read moreusually is a buy one get one half off deal when you go into a Squishable brick and mortar store, which is better than buying an item online. A bonus when we went in is that they had a $5 bin which had some retired squishables, beach towels, and Doctor Plague backpacks (this would've been a good buy if my kids were younger)! We ended up buying one of the stuffies from the deal tin this round... usually we end up buying something bigger. The person at the register was very nice and friendly. Store was in order and easy enough to find items that you would see on the website. If you are vertically challenged, bring a tall friend as you will need assistance to get to things on higher shelves.

I really enjoyed Squishable and didn't realize it was just a pop up shop from the online retailers…read more The stuffies were honestly the cutest stuffies I'd ever seen. It was comparable to the kawaii stores you see photos of from Japan. I'd never seen a bacon stuffie or an avocado one either. They had so many different food options, color options and even cute dogs in little outfits that look like other animals. I ended up getting a dog in a froggy costume because I just can't say no to a frog. The only draw back is they are on the pricey side. They are worth it in my opinion but considering just one medium sized squishable was $30, it is easy to rack up a bill if you need multiple items. If you love stuffed toys, check out their website because they have almost anything you can imagine. It's a truly adorable store.

With a ticket, you got a few drinks, so I was able to try a few flavors. Honestly I hadn't been a big kombucha gal prior, but I really loved the flavors! The Ginger Lemon was my favorite for sure. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in stores. Overall, the way they repurposed this space is so cool. It has a modern, chill California vibe that was so fun and relaxing. I also loved that it's a women-owned business -- can't go wrong there! Such a fun place I'll definitely be back to, either for an event or just for a drink!

It's done on-site while you wait. You can only get the canvas ones customized. No leather. High-tops are easiest since there's more space on the shoe. Canvas shoes are generally around $75 then add between $5-$15 per element. I'm a simple gal. No bling for me. But I love the concept. Only negative is that there are tons more color options online, but then you miss out on all of the customizations
