Donut Miss This Pop-Up!

Donut Miss This Pop-Up!

It may only be Monday, but with the announcement of Dallas-based Fat Straws Bubble Tea Co.’s upcoming pop-ups, we’re already looking forward to the weekend.


Insta-famous for its colorful mochi donuts and bubble tea, Fat Straws will be available in Houston for four days only (11am-4pm on Oct. 17-18 and Oct. 24-25) at 350° Bakery in EaDo. The Japanese “chewy puff” donuts in flavors like pandan-coconut, matcha, cookies-and-cream and passionfruit are available for preorder by the half-dozen until Oct. 15. And for those that miss the preorder window, individual treats are available for walk-up purchase. 350° Bakery is located just behind the George R. Brown Convention Center.

While the pop-ups will tout only the donuts, and not bubble-tea drinks, Fat Straws locations in Dallas tout dozens of innovative beverages with toppings like chesse-foam and chamoy; October’s special is none other than a pumpkin-spice milk tea.

Open Dance Project presents 'Flutter' at HBG

WHILE IT CERTAINLY doesn’t feel like fall, the calendar says it is, and so long as they’re not put off by weird weather and a summer hangover of heat and humidity, we can soon expect a whole lot of monarch butterflies to pass through Texas during their 3,000-mile southern migration. To pay tribute to this annual phenomenon, on Saturday, Sept. 30 and Sunday, Oct. 1, from 4-7pm, Houston Botanic Garden and Open Dance Project will present Flutter: The Monarch Butterfly Project.
