"I write about the pop-ups I’ve been tracking throughout the Bay Area on a semi-regular basis, so I was excited to read an email from a reader suggesting pop-ups worth checking out. The new-to-me D.R.E.A.M Doughnuts turned up in the East Bay on a recent Sunday, and on the occasion of my sister’s birthday, I brought her a box of doughnuts and other goodies, while also picking up a few treats for myself. Everything was delicious, but what stuck out was this “Everything” Croughie — a muffin-shaped croissant. This savory pastry came filled with cream cheese, smoked salmon, chives, and dill, plus a sprinkling of everything spice that stuck to the croissant dough. The croughie had a nice shatter to it, and the cream cheese filling was just the right texture, not too cold or solid from a night in the fridge, with pieces of smoked salmon in every bite. The flavors played nicely together in that classic way that cream cheese and smoked salmon do, made altogether greater in its croissant-muffin home. As a secondary mention, D.R.E.A.M. also offers a wild longanisa Danish, complete with a mini pipette filled with cane vinegar. Some might think vinegar is a strange addition, or perhaps unnecessary, but the acid helps cut the richness of the longanisa and takes the flavors to another level. Both savory items were delicious and inventive, and well worth tracking down. D.R.E.A.M. Doughnuts, San Francisco" - Lauren Saria
