Poppy's Stuffed Bagel Holes

What Poppy's Stuffed Bagel Holes does

Pops Bakery, doing business as Pops Bakery, Pop's Bagels + Deli, and Poppy's Stuffed Bagels, is an independently owned specialty bakery and deli operating from a single storefront at 1625 Eckington Pl NE in Washington, DC. Founded by Grant Sarvis (founder and CEO) and Julia Greenberger, the business operates daily from 7:00am to 2:30pm and serves individual consumers seeking breakfast and lunch items, including stuffed bagels, deli sandwiches such as the Mile High Reuben and Turkey Club, cream cheese and schmear products, and thick-cut bacon offerings. The company also markets catering services for events and gatherings through a dedicated ToastTab catering workflow.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer model with a single physical location supplemented by digital ordering through the ToastTab platform for both retail pickup orders and catering transactions. Its product portfolio is structured as three sub-brands that share the same kitchen and storefront: Pops Bakery (the primary baked-goods brand), Pop's Bagels + Deli (sandwiches and deli items), and Poppy's Stuffed Bagels (specialty stuffed bagel products). The company has no proprietary technology beyond ToastTab integration and a Squarespace-hosted website, no disclosed app, no third-party delivery partnerships, and no active social media or paid marketing channels identified.

The revenue model is straightforward transactional retail and catering food sales, with a primary customer segment of walk-in and online-ordering individual consumers and a secondary segment of catering customers purchasing bulk orders for events. The company has been an early tenant in Union Kitchen's food-business accelerator program (with disclosed checks in 2017 and 2023 totaling at least $12,000) and received a non-dilutive UK Investment Fund ticket in 2022; no venture capital, institutional investors, franchise arrangements, or multi-location expansion are disclosed in the source material.
