Now taking GWorld: Waffle sandwiches, bibimbap at PoppaBox

This post was written by Hatchet staff writer Tim Palmieri.

Whether you’re craving an Instagram-worthy waffle sandwich or a hearty bowl of bibimbap, stop by PoppaBox, an eclectic restaurant and cafe now accepting GWorld.

The neighborhood eatery at the corner of 19th and I Streets offers Asian-fusion flavors like bibimbap and “Poppa Boxes,” which include rice, salad, a sushi roll and mixed tempura. Plus, you can also snag waffle sandwiches and wraps.

PoppaBox employee and GW Senior Zach Shinske said the move to GWorld was a simple process and took just about a week.

“We have to be accessible to the GW community and we figured this was the best way to do it,” Shinske said. “Whenever my friends come stop by, they ask do you take GWorld, and now we can say yes.”

Signature bento boxes come in chicken, pork, beef, shrimp and vegetable varieties, averaging $10 each.

The waffle sandwich can be filled with the savory or the sweet, with sweet-tooth favorites like nutella, banana and whipped cream ($4.55) to a savory egg white, avocado and provolone blend ($6.25). The cafe also features a to-go window, where visitors can also order gourmet ice cream.

PoppaBox, 1928 I St. NW. Open Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., closed Sunday.
