This trendy West Loop spot serves up sensational sundae-style donuts and gelato, perfect for a sweet stroll—even if seating is limited.
"Instagram-famous dessert spot BomboBar, the walk-up window in the West Loop outside Bar Siena, has revamped its facade and menu, but still features a dozen varieties of gelato and gelato shakes alongside bomboloni — traditional hole-less Italian doughnuts — in six flavors including peanut butter and jelly, cookies and cream, and lemon pistachio. In an Earth-friendly move, the team has ditched the plastic mini squeeze bottles of filling that used come with the bomboloni, and cut back on the over-the-top decorations and garnishes." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"You can also just head for the equally Instagram-famous BomboBar for gelato and Italian doughnuts." - Samantha Nelson
"DineAmic Hospitality’s dessert window attached to Bar Siena attracts customers with Instagram-friendly treats. The bomboloni — Italian filled doughnuts — are loaded with custard and jam fillings. A popular option is adding house-made gelato to the mix to create a sandwich." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"BomboBar has reeled in its formerly over-the-top customizable hot chocolate creations in favor of a tighter selection of two “hotter chocolate” options. Fans can choose between the Traditional, which includes a waffle cone crisp, whipped cream, and chocolate pearls; and the S’mores, which comes with a chocolate-dipped waffle cone crisp, toasted marshmallow, and graham cracker." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"Instagram-famous dessert spot BomboBar, the walk-up window in the West Loop from DineAmic Hospitality (Bandit, Prime & Provisions), in late April revamped its facade and menu for a fresh spring start, according to a rep." - aimee.levitt
