"Monday is the official opening day in Old Town for the second location of BomboBar, the doughnut and gelato snack shop connected to Bar Siena in the West Loop. BomboBar’s stars are hole-less Italian-style doughnuts (bombolini) and they’re often used as garnishes in Instagram-friendly desserts. The new location, 1529 N. Wells Street (former Buzz Bait Taqueria) also offers savory snacks like a double-stacked burger served in a split doughnut sprinkled with sesame seeds like the flagship sandwich from the Golden Arches. It’s even served in a Big Mac-style container. There’s also a cocktail and red and white wine on draft with customers charged by the ounce. That’s in addition to an array of beers in the coolers. Sheet pizza is also available, as are fried chicken sandwiches. There are also breakfast options as they’ll open at 8 a.m. daily." - Ashok Selvam

"BomboBar, an Instagram-famous dessert spot originally a takeout window of Bar Siena, is expanding to a standalone location in Old Town. The new location will feature a full kitchen, indoor seating, and a variety of both sweet and savory options, including boozy milkshakes. The original West Loop location was restricted by space, but the new venue offers more dining capacity and delivery range." - Ashok Selvam

Loved BomboBar! The bombolinis were warm and fresh. Having the squeeze bottle fillings was super fun for both kids and adults. Not very many options for coffee. Pretty basic but my hazelnut latte was really good. The gelato looked amazing. We hope to go back and try more! Loved the order touch screen for easy payments and selecting our options. Staff was very friendly and quick.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Bombobar!! Great job on the cheeseburger! The fries are unbelievable with that sea salt! And the bread could be the best part of each of these treats. Breakfast Sandwich would have been enough for a meal, but I couldn't resist the Avocado Toast. Great coffee and a hip spot for morning commuters or catching up with friends.

The whole concept is brilliant! Who doesn't love hot chocolate and the ones at BomboBar are Hot Chocolate "3" to 3rd power! The burger was juicy and flavorful, with the saltiness of the parmesan fries made the meal come full circle! And Adults can get Adult beverages to the 3red power also. Smores will never be the same, you gotta try the Smores Bomboloni!

It’s a cool concept. They have vodka on tap. Water is self serve. The tables are kind of gross though after everyone has sugar and napkins everywhere. I like the tablet used for ordering and they have photos for some. But it sucks when there’s a line and noobs in front taking forever. There were some photos not included. For example, I didn’t know my birthday cake bombolini didn’t come with a little dispenser. 😔 but the people working there were helpful. It’s cozy in here and it does take some time for them once the order is put in. Also the dispenser definitely has more than enough sauce inside. Salted caramel was good but it just tasted like caramel. They were pretty fluffy but not as fluffy as Firecake donuts, still tasty and it comes warm.

Loved it! Small but cozy neighborhood spot at a great location. Of course I went for bombolonis and they did not disappoint. You can eat inside or order to go. I like that they are open late. I will be back soon!

Great selection that makes Bombobar a good option on Wells Street any time of day. Pastries and Gelato are made fresh onsite. You can’t go wrong with the avocado toast or the breakfast sandwich.

It wasn't all the hype I was told, but I'd give it another shot before I say anything. The sandwich was alright, and the pizza was a bit hard to eat, like it's been out awhile. (This was before the shutdown).
