Founded in the heart of a pandemic in Adam Goldbergs kitchen, PopUp Bagels began as a simple mission fueled by passion and dedication—to craft unmistakably perfect bagels with no frills, just the essence of simplicity... crispy crusts, soft crumb centers, the right size, and an ideal proportion of seeds.
What started in a small kitchen quickly evolved into a culinary sensation, winning over locals taste buds and hearts, as well as winning Brooklyns BagelFest Best Bagel award two years in a row. Today, PopUp Bagels is a name that spans several neighborhoods, including five towns in Connecticut, iconic NYC spots like Greenwich Village, the Upper West Side, and the Upper East Side, as well as Roslyn in Long Island. Our reach also extends to seasonal locations in East Hampton, Palm Beach, Wellesley, and beyond, with exciting new locations on the horizon.
As we continue to expand, our dedication to bagel-making allows more people to experience our simple yet distinct offerings. Our bagels are served fresh from the oven, hot and whole - and we do not make sandwiches. Loyal fans love to grip, rip, and dip right on the street, or bagels can be taken home or to the park to enjoy it in endless ways. For more information on our story and locations, check out PopUp Bagels on Instagram or our website, where every bagel crafted is a testament to this commitment to perfection.

MìLà is an authentic Chinese food company. While MìLà is a Chinese food brand, it’s really a celebration of the power of food to bring us together, share our stories, and discover new flavors and cultures. Our team works tirelessly to enhance delicious products that we all enjoy at home!
History
You may remember us as Xiao Chi Jie, or XCJ. We opened in 2018 as Xiao Chi Jie, a restaurant in Bellevue, WA, where we shared the amazing ingredients, recipes, and flavors of our Chinese heritage. Since then, we’ve grown, and so has our passion for what we do.
In 2023, XCJ became MìLà. As we evolved, we wanted a new name that felt authentically Chinese but could keep growing with us. MìLà means honey (mi 蜜) and spice (la 辣) in Chinese. We’re the same small team, making the same insanely delicious products, just with a new look.
Mission
MìLàs mission is to build something that feels authentically and uniquely true to our roots as a Chinese American-founded brand. Something we can own, but that’s also meant to be shared. One of the things we love about Chinese food is that it’s traditionally served family-style—shared with everyone gathered at the table. MìLà is a Chinese food brand, but it’s really a celebration of the power of food to bring us together, share our stories, and discover new flavors and cultures.

Flex is a simple app that’s changing the way the world pays and collects rent. Our technology makes the 1st of the month easy for renters and properties.
For renters, we pay the rent on the 1st and let you pay it back when it works better for your budget. We help you buy some time (or whatever else you’re eyeing).
For properties, we help you collect more and stress less. And we do the previously impossible by turning rent collection into a marketable amenity.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
•We believe you should be able to choose when you pay your bills. The flexibility of buy-now-pay-later has forever changed the way the world makes purchases. We believe the same flexibility should be available for one of life’s #1 expenses: rent.
•We believe in the win-win. We like helping people keep commitments. With our technology, properties get the rent and renters get the time. The future is flexible.
•We believe in the end of rent regret. Sharing human spaces used to be easier. But then payment came into the picture and rent regret was born. The worst part of rent regret is that it separates us from each other. We’re committed to solving rent regret forever.
