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

Awesome concept and fun! I got the green tea gelato pop, and made it into a popwich, sandwiched between two chocolate biscuits, dipped in white chocolate and milk chocolate, topped with waffle pieces and hazelnut. The other one was a mango sherbet dipped in white chocolate and covered with waffle pieces. I'm usually sweets over tart, so I clearly preferred the green tea popwich. It's definitely worth checking out to try. read more

Popbar and its deliciousness has been so kindly gracing us with all its yummy goodness in several locations! This HB location is nestled in the Pacific City Center inside Lot 579 food court where other cool eats reside. I ordered 5 pops and the total came out to be $24+ but all totally worth it! My favorites are the Banana and Dark Chocolate, half dipped in more dark chocolate and dipped in yummy pistachios! Popbar is definitely the perfect summer or anytime treat to enjoy and reflect on the beauty of the world lol. read more

Popbar - Banana half dipped in dark chocolate with pistachios! - Gelato Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Popbar is a classic and although I never really think about getting popbar, whenever I do I'm never disappointed! The green tea "Kit Kat" flavor is always my go to, it's a matcha green tea bad covered in chocolate, rolled in waffle cone pieces and topped with white chocolate drizzle. YUM! The bar style ice cream makes it so easy to eat, super convenient to eat while walking around haha. We tried the coconut cookie option and it was good too if you like coconut. read more

Popbar - Gelato Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I used to like this place A LOT more than I do now, but it's still enough to satisfy my nostalgic popbar craving. I have always defaulted to getting a dark chocolate dip covered with pistachio or rainbow sprinkles and a white chocolate drizzle. So Instagrammable and delicious. On our most recent visit, the pistachio and honey lavender didn't really taste like their names. The nut toppings were grounded so finely that it's hard to actually taste the crunch/flavor despite it probably having more ability to stick. I was kind of grossed out to see that the white chocolate was light brown because of so much cross-dipping. For me, it's not really worth it unless it's summer I guess. read more

Refreshing Dipped Fruit, Gelato & Ice Cream Bars I enjoyed the passion fruit Popsicle fully dipped in chocolate and covered with almonds. Next time I will try a 1/2 dip with a topping. There are many selections of fruit, gelato or ice cream bars so you may get carried away by which one you want to try. They do validate here which is great if you're spending a few hours shopping in Pacific City or plan to eat too. This place is located inside Lot 579 where most of the food and dessert is where you can take a break from shopping or just walking around. The Popsicle is a very simple and delicious dessert to cool you off or can be a refresher booster if you're feeling low in energy suck on a Popsicle. It has less calories it won't ruin your diet being just a Popsicle of ice cream, gelato or fruit. read more

I think the concept of a personalized dipped popsicle bar was new and exciting when it first opened. Don't get me wrong, the product is made with high quality ingredients from what I can taste. In my opinion, there is a disparity between what you pay vs the amount / taste of what you eat. I think the biggest attraction for me to Popbar is the "instagrammable" treat you will get. It is visually delightful. read more

So delicious and refreshing after a day at the beach! Super nice staff! So many tasty choices!!

After Hans refused to serve our 3 year old at 10:02 (they closed at 10:00) and was in tears walking away, we stumbled across this place! Popbar also "closed" at 10:00, but he saw us coming and didn't refuse us! Not only was the staff so welcoming, the hand dipped gelato bars were AMAZING!! Great customer service and yummy treats! Thanks again, you made her night! read more

Popbar - Having a romantic moment with my beloved popbar. Haha - Gelato Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Now I get it. I can see clearly now...why there is always a line at Popbar. This is their newest location in HB at Pacific City. I'm familiar with them from their other "long lines" location at the Anaheim Packing District. This one is a little smaller and not as busy. Still a line, but there's a plus to that. Use the time to see what others are ordering. You can get some good ideas! Here's how it works. It all starts with a Popsicle base, which I decided not to go with the sorbet, but for the creamy flavor instead, $3.99. And then for fifty cents extra you get unlimited dipping options and for another fifty cents extra you get unlimited toppings. I just went for it and decided to make My Ultimate Matcha Popbar. That's right. I capitalized it. It's official. I figure I've been holding out this long to see what all the hype is, so why not? 5 stars - Green tea matcha bar. Dipped all the way in milk chocolate. One side topped with coconut flakes and the other side topped with crushed waffle cone. Then I sealed up the goodness with a drizzle of caramel chocolate. It was delicious! The matcha flavor was not afraid of being matcha and had a good strong flavor. The chocolate with the coconut and waffle cone topping was a perfect complement. You gotta try this combo!! Overall, I made my ultimate bar because I didn't think I would need to go back. I thought I'd experience it once and be good. Yeah, I was wrong. I'm already craving it. I'll be back for another bar. Or two. read more

Popbar - My Ultimate Matcha bar! Dipped in milk chocolate. Waffle cone and coconut topping. And a chocolate caramel drizzle. So good!! - Gelato Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

This far exceeded my expectations and was absolutely delicious. 100% will return. PARKING: they validate! You need to park downstairs tho unlike stupid me who parked upstairs and had to pay $3 for 30 min of parking. WAY too expensive T___T AMBIENCE: Popbar is tucked away in the LOT. There's the very cute wall of Popsicles, and a lot of open space. Lots of other places to check out too SERVICE: my sister and I had never been here before but the server was very patient and sweet, walking us through how the whole thing worked. A standard popbar is $4 including the preset menu ones. If you want unlimited toppings it's 50 cents and 50 cents for unlimited chocolate dips too. FOOD: my sister and I were a little bewildered at so many options so we ended up going with the preset ones. My sister ordered the green tea kitkat popbar which she loved and I got the ferrer rocher one! AMAZING. My popbar was a hazelnut and chocolate gelato bar dipped in milk chocolate, covered in hazelnuts and waffle cone pieces, and drizzled with white chocolate. SO good. The texture was creamy and rich and I felt like I was eating a ferrer rocher in all honesty. The only complaint I had was that the gelato seemed to be melting very quickly and got all over my clothes. But overall delicious! My sister was so happy with her popbar and I loved mine. read more

Popbar - Gelato Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Hand dipped popsicles with so many flavors and toppings that the combinations are seemingly endless. The popsicles are offered in gelato, sorbetto and yogurt forms. There are so many flavors that it'd be impossible to list all of them here. All the flavors are gluten free, and the sorbetto ones are lactose free and vegan friendly. The basic premise here is that you select a popsicle from the display case, and then you customize it with a dipping sauce and then a topping. If you decide to go with a gelato based popsicle, you can turn it into a popwich for an additional $0.50. A popwich is a gelato ice cream sandwich on a stick. If you're overwhelmed by all the options available, there are boards that feature the most popular combinations to help you out. These inlcude chocolate covered strawberry, chocolate covered pistachio, green tea kit-kat, yogurt berry crunch, mint chocolate chip, piña colada, almond joy, ferrero rocher, strawberry shortcake, and Reese's peanut butter. I like the green tea kit-kat, and the popwich is decent. The green tea kit-kat doesn't taste completely like a kit-kat, but it's a close enough representation. The gelato has good green tea flavor, is slightly soft and icy, with some creaminess to the texture. I opted to only dip half the bar in white chocolate because I wanted to experience the unadulterated green tea flavor to see how authentic it was. Crushed waffle cones are sprinkled over the chocolate to finish off the bar. The popwich can upgraded to any gelato popsicle. It's just two chocolate cookies placed on both sides of the bar. The cookies are crunchy with just the right amount of softness. The staff is very helpful, informative, professional and efficient. While $5 is kind of steep for a popsicle, the quality of the ingredients and the hand crafted nature of the popsicles almost justifies the asking price. It's something that you treat yourself to occasionally. If you want to sit and enjoy your popsicle, there are several stools located around the corner of the shop. read more

Such good ice cream! They have so many flavors to choose from and a ton of toppings. Absolutely recommend trying it out! read more

This place has the best concept!! I love coming here when I'm at Pacific City. My recommendation is very odd but so good!! Every time I have ordered it someone has ordered it after me - so believe me, it sounds crazy but I promise it's delicious. I get a hazelnut bar. For toppings I do half white chocolate, half milk chocolate. Then I have waffle cone added and to top it off a Carmel dark chocolate drizzle. AMAZINGGGG. They are consistent every time no matter who is working and putting it together. I am never disappointed. A must try if you are looking for a cold snack on a warm day, or any day for that matter! read more

Just stopped here on the way back to the room. One kid got a tropical fruit sorbet--not great. The other got a vanilla gelato with chocolate sprinkles. That one was delicious! The girl at the front seemed relatively knowledgeable, but I wish they had samples to try. Next time I'm in the area, I will probably get one for myself! read more

Very very different! We had a cheesecake pop which is absolutely delicious and one they deemed a mistake. It's a passion fruit popsicle which is very sour dipped in dark chocolate that made it just sweet enough. This was far from a mistake! That you to the staff. read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.Popbar has a new location inside Lot 579 at Pacific City and I finally made my way there over the weekend. Since the Bungalow upstairs didn't have dessert on their menu, we made our way to the food court at Lot 579 to check out Popbar and Han's Homemade Ice Cream. For me, I decided on Popbar. It is set up the same way as their Anaheim location and I chose from what they had available. My choice was the strawberry gelato bar dipped in half white chocolate and almonds for $4.99. This isn't an everyday treat for me so I can justify the cost of the bar. Seeing as most restaurants charge upwards of $7-10 per dessert, you can definitely treat yourself at Popbar. They have a variety of flavors and you can mix and match to your heart's content. Get a bar and enjoy! read more

Great Palletas for reasonable pricing. Love the selection and ability to change which dip you want.

OH EM GEE!!! You can create a ice cream sandwich to your POPBAR!!!! did you know that? i didn't of course. I saw another customer in front of me and of course I have no shame of copying him. Thank you for ordering it so i knew exactly what i wanted. I got the green tea flavor, which they created the ice cream sandwich for it. DIP the whole POPBAR into caramel chocolate. and covered all over with waffle cone bits. mmmm as I write this review I can taste it now. So good! I want more now. read more

Popbar - Gelato Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I'm honestly not the biggest fan of popbar. I've had it once before when it first opened in the anaheim packing district and I was not super impressed with paying almost 5 bucks for a fruit popsicle dipped with stuff. I decided to give this place a try again since It was a hot spring day. I love the location of this one, inside the Pacific City shopping mall near Huntington. The decor of this pop bar is top notch, it even has a wall full of popsicles (cough cough, just like ice cream museum) haha. I got the watermelon popsicle, and the worker recommended to dip with white chocolate and coconut, which I did. Overall I as underwhelmed with the lack of watermelon flavor and again, paying almost $5 bucks for a popsicle. My friend got the hazlenut popsicle dipper in dark chocolate and covered w/ hazenut & coconut and it was much more delicious! tasted like a Ferrero Rocher in popsicle form. Overall I would probably stop at other ice cream or other places that serve cold desserts before coming back to popbar. read more

Tucked away in the corner of LOT 579 (an indoor food court-type of area), Popbar serves up a wide selection of frozen desserts ranging from froyo bars and popsicles to shakes. If you enjoy fruity pops dipped in chocolate and topped with add-ons like sprinkles and nuts, this dessert shop is the place to go. I wanted to keep it simple with a green tea popGelato bar sans toppings. Surprisingly, the matcha flavor was prominent without being overwhelmingly bitter, or washed out with excessive sugar. It's a solid dessert if you're craving a creamy green tea treat, but aren't in proximity to a soft serve joint. I look forward to trying other pops! read more

This location is inside Lot 579 in Pacific City. It's always hard to find places at Pacific City and Popbar is no exception as it's tucked away in a corner. Service is friendly and gives pretty good recommendations on dip/topping combos. First off, the bars are cute! No wonder you can often find someone posting one on Instagram haha. I got the Watermelon bar half dipped in white chocolate topped with coconut while my friend got the Pistachio bar full dipped in white chocolate and covered in pistachios. I liked it but would go with another flavor next time while my friend really liked hers. IMO it was a refreshing after dinner palate cleanser. Will be back! read more

We have been to Pop Bar at the Anaheim Packing District and was pleasantly surprised to find one here. Gelato popsicles. We love sweets and ice cream so this place was a hit. Yes, it is pricey for a popsicle but it is worth it. Hazelnut bar, covered in dark chocolate, topped with waffle cones. Yum!! Tasted like a ferrero rocher. read more

As simple as it is amazing. Located inside Pacific City in the "food barn/court area". Choose your gelato bar flavor, choose your dip, choose toppings. Create, mix and match... come up with your own flavor combo or choose a pre-made one. I love this, but at the same time, there are SOOOOO many combinations that you want to come here every day just to try them all. When I get confused, I end up with vanilla dipped in coconut. Can't go wrong with that. read more

Popbar - 1. Green tea, half dipped white choc, rolled in waffle cone. 2. "Almond Joy" - Gelato Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Was expecting to be somewhat disappointed by Popbar because I didn't know if it were all hype. However, I was super impressed by the gelato pops! They are SO good. Service: So great! The girl serving us was extremely patient and helpful; she explained the menu to us (first-timers) and answered all of our questions. FOOD: We ordered a Green Tea Kit Kat bar and a Nutella bar (I'm forgetting the name) topped with chocolate and nuts and waffle. The chocolate one tasted exactly like a ferrero rocher (aka the best chocolate of all time!!). The green tea kit kat also tasted EXACTLY like a green tea kit kat. The waffle added a great crunch, and the flavors weren't overpowering (nothing was too sweet). I do recommend getting half-dipped on the green tea pop just cause I felt that was enough for the bar. Although Popbar is a little pricey, it's definitely worth it. Thanks for a great experience! read more

This was super fun and such a great idea! We loved picking options off of their menu as well as making up our own combinations. It's a good thing we don't have a Popbar locally.

I've always seen Popbar at Anaheim Packing District and the crazy long lines that accompany it, so have always avoided it. So when i saw one in passing while in Pacific City I was pleasantly surprised especially because there was NO LINE. I got the Hazelnut bar and had it dipped in dark chocolate and covered in hazelnuts and coconut. The Hazelnut bar was creamy and not too sweet! Realized later it tastes very similar to a Ferrero Rocher... yummmmmmm. Tried my friends watermelon bar which I thought was just okay. Popbar is good but I would never wait in a long line for it. Luckily this location isn't too crowded! read more
