    Totoro Taiyaki with matcha ice cream
    Holley Janae P.

    While my cousin was in town for a visit, we made a trip to Popfancy for their Howl's Moving Castle themed pop up cafe. Upon entering, I was immediately so impressed with the interior. They made the inside look so cozy and feel like you were eating in Howl's kitchen alongside Calcifer's hearth. They also had some Studio Ghibli merch available for purchase and an extensive Studio Ghibli themed menu. We ordered the Totoro Taiyaki which was filled with Ube custard & served with a scoop of ice cream of our choice. Our order was prepared promptly, and we enjoyed our dessert while watching some clips of Ghibli movies and trivia videos. The experience was adorable and interactive, and I'm looking forward to seeing what other themed cafe's Popfancy pulls off next!

    Tried coming as a walk in with my nieces and nephew a few weeks ago, but quickly realized it was going to be a very long wait given the line that formed and didn't really seem to be moving. I ended up paying for fast passes (they do release free fast passes, but those get scooped up quickly, and I was able to pay $3 per ticket on eventbrite to snag fast passes). Our pass was for 1pm and we were inside by 1:10pm. They do reserve the tables initially for the fast passes, at least when we came in at our time and it was great because I couldn't imagine being here without a table since I had a group of little ones with me! The staff were super friendly and worked as quickly as they could. There was a little bit of stress because of volume of orders and people, but they did the best they could and handled the traffic well. We got a variety of drinks and each enjoyed them-- I will say, all of the drinks are on the sweeter side, but definitely standard for kids. We literally got one of everything on the menu and I wasn't able to grab photos before the kids enjoyed them, but that's the whole point! The add ons can become pricey, but for the enjoyment of your little ones, it's definitely worth it! For food, we got the Derpy spam rice, ramen and grilled cheese. The kids all really enjoyed it and definitely wanted to come back for the next pop up themed cafe!

    The place was so cute , I loved it , I came in on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all, the food was good and drinks , the prices was ok but ultra adorable and on theme I can't wait to come back to Houston for the next theme .

    Place was set up for Howl's Moving Castle and they did a great job on the decorations. Dessert was cute and affordable. Good selections of mystery boxes. Only downside was the girl at the register. She was seriously disconnected. Maybe she was having a bad day but she messed up our order (we didn't say anything because she was so unapproachable) but man no place is cute enough to deal with that parking and that attitude.

    jiggly shooting star

    The ambiance is PEAK. The food... Was okay. We came during the Howl's Moving Castle/Studio Ghibli theme and got the jiggly shooting star, little shoes and A Summer's Day drink. They were all kinda mid, the best part of the jiggly shooting star was the fruit tbh. It sat in liquid and got a bit of a grainy consistency to it which was unpleasant. Everything looked really cute though! I might try another theme.

    Cat Taiyaki w/ cookie monster ice cream

    Took my boyfriend here to surprise him during the Naruto theme month. He loved it! We had some cat-shaped taiyaki w/ a cookie monster ice cream and my boyfriend is now obsessed with that kind of ice cream, lol. It really felt like you had entered another world. Love how seriously they take their decorating. Looking forward to other future themes they come up with.

    It was ok. We paid for the fast pass as it was on a Sat afternoon that we were going. And when we got there there was No Line. I wish the money went towards your order once you get there. That was wasted money. They had some good themed drinks, good and treats that were tasty. However I feel like the decor was lacking. The staff could have also been in costume/cos play to make it more realistic. We went to the retro arcade with stranger things influence. It's very small in there but the tables turn over pretty quickly.

    It's really fascinating to see how this dessert place transform their store into the different themes! I visited during "The Witches" theme aka Emerald City, and had the Ice Cream Sandwich ($8). It is a bit overpriced for a small ice cream sandwich but that's expected for the immersive pop-up. Also pretty cool that they had a meet and greet for Elphaba and Glinda as well!

    I've been coming here for years and this is the first time I've ever experienced such a drop in service. By all means, preview your upcoming menu for your influencers, but it should never be at the expense of other customers. Waiting over 30 minutes for one milkshake and two sparkling lemon drinks is nonsensical.

    I came to Popfancy during there Kpop demon hunter themed cafe event. The decor was super cute and everything was on theme. The line was pretty long to enter, but that's to be expected for these kind of events. This was my first time coming to Popfancy so I can't compare it to how it regular appearance or wait times. I do think that the food and drinks came out pretty quickly despite on how many people were there, the staff is obviously used to these sorts of events. I really liked the ice sundae and the drinks, very fun and creative ideas. The noodle and rice dish was also good. Lots of people brought there kids and they were all having a great time.

    I was recommended Pop Fancy by a good friend of mine. It was actually amazing vibes when we went in. They had all kinds of desserts that you get to choose from. It's definitely trendy and the desserts were great. Great service from th staff!

    This place is really cool! They have different themes and it's all really cool. I have gone several times. Definitely worth it. It's kinda expensive. The staff are very nice and when it gets busy they do their best to get tables available. The different drinks and desserts are so good and so cute when themed to the event. They always decorated very well and they put thought into the decor.

    We came during the 80's themed/Stranger Things event. It's busy. The fast pass helped us get into the restaurant and out of the cold but you will wait to order, wait to be seated and then a pretty long wait for food. The staff are nice. The decor is pretty cute. I would come on a week day for the best experience and to be able to take photos and have less wait time. The food is not great tasting but the presentation was cute. If you want cute insta pics, this is your place. If you want delicious food, I would skip this theme.

    Can you guys do a one piece theme next?

    Only if you come fully dressed up

    Is this place kid friendly?

    Yep!

    Why is taro being marketed as ube here? They have different texture and taste.

    We use both a fresh taro paste and a filipino ube halaya to make our ice cream. It's kind of like our unique fusion of both so we interchange both names on different menu items.

    How many years has TFB been bookmarked?! Tooooo long…read more But good fortune popped up in Pearland as I was returning home from work and I just had to stop by! There was no line too?! I made a bee line to get my funnel cake before the word spread that TFB was in Pearland! I went to my IG just to see what their times would be for the pop up. First post I see is that they have a featured flavor- the cookie butter funnel cake. With Biscoff cookies and pieces of cheesecake interlingled within... Yall, I'm not a big sweets person and I only bought the large to support the biz, but that dang funnel cake is no more! Gone. Disappeared. Now, not all at once. That would be crazy, but a few bites when I first got it...a few more hours later...a few more today and yeah its gone. It tasted just as good the next day too, so well worth the money for not only the portion size but the creativity. I never would have thought to put Biscoffs on a funnel cake....so glad somebody did! The food truck is very efficient as well. You place your order and they give you a buzzer. They were willing to bring the funnel cake to me but I had parked at a distance anticipating that more people would be showing up soon so didn't want to get blocked in. Very courteous people and the funnel cake - the BEST I EVER HAD. Hands dooooown! If you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, follow them on IG and enjoy satisfying that sweet tooth!

For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

Side note you'll need a code to use their restroom. I ordered the split cup of Strawberry Almond Cheesecake and Dulce de Horchata. I felt that the portion could've been slightly more generous than below the rim of the cup, but I suppose the price is reasonable. I guess it's hit or miss like at Marble Slab. The cheesecake flavor was okay not overpowering, which I would've preferred more than the almond and strawberry. I think I wasn't impressed with it because the server scooped more of the graham crust than ice cream. I'm pretty sure that's another reason I didn't particularly care for their cheesecake.

The thai tea was yummy too, but the thai tea was mild. It did wish it was stronger. The ube was nutty & vanilla in taste. Overall, the ice cream is good & affordable.

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.

There used to be one Cinnaholic in Austin, but sadly it closed down about a year or two ago. It was my favorite place to go to get cinnamon rolls. So you know that if I'm in the area of Houston, I have to make a stop. Lots of parking. I got the Biscoff cinnamon roll and my husband got the Irish coffee and cream cinnamon roll. I was a little bit underwhelmed with the Biscoff one to be honest. When I first cut into it, it was so thick and bready that I got confused for a second and said "um... where's the cinnamon? Is this just bread??" Eventually I DID get to the cinnamon part though. But that outer layer was all bread. Perhaps it was how bready it was or that I found the toppings slightly underwhelming but... yeah. Still yummy though but not my fav. My husbands though - his was amazing! But also incredibly rich. I saw a pic of a peach cobbler one of here and it looked phenomenal. Perhaps that'll be my next one. Regardless, we gobbled them both down and had no issues. Would def come back when in the area. Wish they would open up again in Austin! :)
