The coconut cookie bar was good but not great. I think if I ordered something different I may have a different review. The coconut gelato didn't have a strong enough coconut flavor for me. Service was helpful. Next time I would just do one dip with a flavor. I ended up biting off the cookie topping and throwing it away. read more

The wait was a bit long, they did not have enough staff, they had to turn away customers and/or told them there would be a 10-15 min. wait since there's 5 drinks he had to make prior to any other orders. Additionally, there was no mention that each dip and topping would be $1 extra per side and the menu board was a bit confusing displaying any type of information such as this. Hopefully in the future there is better transparency and additional staffing. read more

Ok, so I've never had this before but I've seen them at a few places. My date and I came here, Sunday, after church, after eating at Primecut Taqueria... and I was craving some ice cream. This concept is genius! So many options! He got the pistachio pop bar and I ended up trying the lavender pop bar with Vanilla White chocolate drizzled on both sides and waffle cone topping on one side AND hazelnuts on the other side! I didn't even know you could do that! Omg! I liked it! You definitely taste the Lavender but it wasn't too strong. There's so many ways to dress them up. Definitely coming back!

Popbar has been a long time favorite of mine! I usually get Pistachio popGelato with Milk Chocolate, Hazelnut and White Chocolate Drizzle. I've also had a Vanilla Sundae popGelato. Sometimes I get Matcha. I would go out of my way to come here. The pistachio flavor is amazing, it's my favorite! Ok I haven't tried every single flavor to say it's the best but I have tried some others, they are good but so far I've liked pistachio the most. Green Tea is my second favorite. Vanilla is good too but not my top choice. Get any flavor you want, you can't go wrong, they'll all be good. I like that the ice cream is hard enough to stay on a stick but once you bite into it, it's nice and soft and chewy, creamy, has a good bite, not overly hard. I love that you can dip it in chocolate and sprinkle sides on top, these are a must do. I don't know any other ice cream place that sells ice cream on a stick like this, it's very unique here. This one is located in Lot 579 at Pacific City in Huntington Beach. Lot 579 is a food hall and Pacific City is a shopping plaza. It's right across from Huntington State Beach, walkable distance, love that. There is a big parking structure. It's free with validation for the first 2-3 hours depending on the day you go. If you pass this time, you'll have to pay. They offer parking validation here. Service is really friendly. There is some seating inside. You could also go outside and sit at the blocks in Pacific City or just walk around and eat. The inside and outside is very nice, casual yet modern. I think price is fair accounting for inflation, I think the ice cream bar is big but not too big, a good size with the right price, worth it. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Food: I got the green tea popgelato since it sounded perfect for a sunset stroll by the beach. The green tea one is not too sweet, although I would've liked a stronger green tea flavor. Service: The service was great--they even pulled out a fresh popgelato from the back after hearing I have a peanut allergy. I like that they give you the popgelato on a paper wrapper--perfect to catch those drops as it melts. They also ask if you need to validate your parking, which is much appreciated. Ambiance: The shop is inside a food hall area, just steps away from the beach. There is seating inside the food hall, but I'd recommend going out to the water :) read more

Popbar is such a fun dessert destination with a huge variety of flavors and endless ways to customize each pop. We decided on the watermelon popbar dipped in rich dark chocolate and finished with a generous pistachio coating -- the combination was refreshing, flavorful, and perfectly balanced between sweet, tart, and nutty. Service was quick and friendly, with our order ready in just a couple of minutes. Our kids were absolutely delighted, carefully picking their own flavors and toppings, and have been talking about it ever since. The bright, casual atmosphere makes it an ideal stop for families, date nights, or just a quick sweet treat on a hot day. With so many flavors and topping combinations still left to try, we're already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Refreshing snack, dessert, or anytime treat. Choose your flavor of ice cream or sorbet. Many choices to select from. Then choose a topping. I like dark chocolate dip. And then choose what to roll the entire bar into, Whether it be finely chopped nuts or sprinkles. They have coffees too but while it was ok, I usually like my coffee stronger. read more

I love Pop Bar for their popsicle and smoothie creations! I have been to the Pop Bar in Santa Monica and the location in Santa Monica before finally trying this location in Huntington Beach, and they all lived up to their delicious standards. My go-to favorite is their strawberry sorbeto pop dipped in dark chocolate with and almonds coconut shreds. Today, I also enjoyed the passion fruit sorbet pop also dipped in dark chocolate with almonds and coconut shreds. Both were light, delicious and hit the spot for my sweets craving. Now that I know where this Pop Bar is, I'll be going here more often! For reference, it's located in the food court by the Old Crow Smokehouse read more

Was craving a sweet treat and stumbled upon Popbar while walking to BearFlag. I've been to a Popbar once for their popsicles but never their drinks. I was a bit hesitant since they're known for popsicles and not their drinks but was definitely pleased. We got a green thai tea, piña colada and peach green tea. They were all so refreshing and delicious. The piña colada was so fresh and their tea's were not too strong but enough to taste the tea flavors. The staff was also super sweet! So glad I found this place so I can now have my boba fix by the beach. read more

Fun concept, and I really liked the toppings. The quality of the actual gelato bar itself, though, I found sub-par. I got vanilla and I usually like vanilla ice cream bars with chocolate coatings etc - but the vanilla was quite bland and icy - not creamy at all. I got the vanilla so the ice cream wouldn't overpower the flavors of the toppings, but if I were to return again, I would perhaps recommend trying a flavored gelato. read more

Ah, the famous Popbar photos on Instagram made me excited to see this place. Popbar is located in Pacific City, a shopping mall right near the beach. We found their stand at the end of a food court, called Lot 579 I believe. I decided to customize my own treat, choosing Birthday gelato as a base and chocolate caramel dip, waffle cone topping, and white chocolate drizzle. It was ready within a minute, and it was $6. A bit confusing because the menu showed a price of $4.50 for a bar, but perhaps the drizzle and toppings were extra. I'm not sure and didn't bother to ask since so many kids and families were waiting in line. The popsicle tasted really good, and I'd be back to try their other flavors. read more

I loved this place! It's definitely a novelty kind of thing when you could get a whole box of grocery store popsicles for the price of one here, but they are really good, and fun to try different combos. I stuck with fairly basic ones on back to back days since I'm not local and wanted something I knew I would like. First time I got strawberry half dipped in dark chocolate with a white chocolate drizzle, next time I had banana with half dark chocolate dip and rainbow sprinkles. It's fun to see them prepare your custom pick in front of you, and tasted great. It was served with a little paper dish so you wouldn't make too much of a mess and had some tables you could sit down at to eat. They also had boba drinks and a couple other menu options, but as shown by the name, the popsicles were the highlight! I would definitely come back, a great sweet summer treat, especially if you don't like (dairy) ice cream much. read more

I haven't had the actual bars itself, but the boba at Popbar is genuinely the best boba I've ever had. It's also one of the best prices I've seen especially with the quality and taste! The drinks itself hit the sweet spot, and if you're not much of a sweet person, their other drinks tastes so good. Their pearls are so sweet and chewy, and I have been addicted to them for a while! The staff are so understanding and kind, and they let you sit while they bring the drinks out for you. It's a small area, and could be easy to miss, but it's a really great place for boba! read more

What a fun place! There's Popbars in a bunch of malls and food courts around LA, but this is the only one I've tried. I love that they have a lot of vegan options - sorbet flavors and even vegan dark chocolate! It's a great treat on a warm beach day :) Seeing them dip your popsicle in chocolate and toppings right in front of you is pretty cool. It was a little bit of a mess - so if you have a nut allergy, be careful! Also, for a simple fruit popsicle, It is a little on the pricey side. read more

I had the pistachio dipped gelato bar here and for about $5, it was acceptable for the area. That being said, the taste wasn't all that good, and coming here I'm basically doing it for the Instagram or Snapchat moment, not actually for the quality of the popsicle bar. The bar itself is nothing special, even a little icy in areas. It's dipped and looks nice, but taste wise it's rather empty, relying mostly on its looks for the enjoyment. Overall it's a pass except for that first time for the photo! read more

Pop bar is poppin'! Had a family event in Huntington Beach and got through it largely by preplanning to reward myself with a stop here on the drive home. The Pac City Center is a cool shopping/dining area with plenty of options, but Popbar is tucked into Lot 579's food court, in a back corner. If you don't know about it, you might be tempted to grab one of the many other treats you pass on your way- but don't! PB has several popsicle flavors to pick from (~10), then you pick a dip and add some crunch! I tried the peanut butter with milk chocolate and coconut for an Almond Joy feel but was surprised to like the matcha green tea with MINT CHOCOLATE and almonds even more. That mint chocolate made it, though, def recommend that choice. Price was reasonable enough, staff was friendly, small cute dining area available. read more

She chose the Milk & Oreo gelato as the base and asked if she could get it in a cone. Within minutes, it was in her hand and was devoured minutes after that and I was only able to get a small bite! It was definitely tasty! Will have to get one for myself next time. When we went, there were so many families coming into the store and everyone got a warm welcome. The locals love this place and so do we.

I stopped by and had to try the "Alien Baby" (Baby Yoda) cone, and it did not disappoint! The shop is famous for its handcrafted character scoops. Seeing the staff transform a regular scoop of gelato into a masterpiece with ears and eyes in just a few minutes is like watching edible art come to life. I went with a green base to keep the Baby Yoda theme authentic. They offer a few great green options like: * Pistachio * Matcha I went with pandan it's a coconut flavor and the prices are amazing $5.50

This is how it looks before entering.

The inside of the place is super interesting and amazing to walk in and see the way the gelato is created. You get to see all the ingredients and care shown for them to have that beautiful tasting end product of gelato, exactly the same way back home. All those amazing flavours remind me of those unforgettable walks during a nice warm summer on the Riviera Ligure. I highly recommend visiting and asking a few curious questions of what happens in that amazing gelato laboratory.

The service was outstanding! There was a little bit of a line, maybe 8, yet they allowed a couple of samples with great patience, and gave service with a smile!

I understand teenagers/young adults will be the way they are, but they didn't even greet us, didn't ask if we need help with anything, and didn't try to gauge what we might want. Instead one of the girls was singing along and dancing to a Justin Bieber song playing, she was wearing an ice cream cone sweater, then when we were ready to order the service shifted to the young man. It was confusing to know who to talk to. Then another couple came in and the same girl singing to the song seemed to be very helpful by greeting them and providing guidance. It really rubbed me the wrong way because I saw a shift in customer service. Again, I understand that young adults are probably not taking their job seriously. It didn't feel good seeing other people experience different customer service . That happen twice when another couple came in while we sat inside to eat. Would come back for the gelato.

Don't let the lower star reviews fool you, this is an ice cream to try…read more I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm so glad I finally did. They must use really good ingredients for their ice cream, doesn't feel like a lot of processed stuff. The ice cream was melting as expected and I didn't feel terrible after eating one by myself. It was just refreshing and joyful. They are located on the southern most side of Pacific City. It's rather tucked away. Once you reach the end of the plaza, go in the building and they are immediately to your left. Staff are friendly. Place is clean. They have a lot of flavors, but sadly you need to buy it to try it. I was disappointed, of course, because some flavors seemed really interesting, but I don't dare try something different if in case I end up not liking enough to regret it. There was another ice cream place up north that had the same policy, but they are so confident about the flavors and quality that they will replace your order completely should you not like it. I don't think this place has that kind of policy, which would discourage me from choosing this place compared to their chain competitor just a block away. Maybe there could be a compromise like, try up to 3 flavors only. That way, I can try three new unique flavors but if I really didn't like them I could still have a great experience with a tried and true favorite. Hope the owner seriously considers this because I think they are great and I want them to thrive! Another great thing about this place is that It isn't a big chain and mass produced. It feels personal and feels very special. I admire people who have such a passion for the craft that they invest in it with time and money, so let's support! Especially when the ice cream is this good.
