Dedicated to serving 'the best' in frozen treats, Popbar serves handcrafted gelato, sorbetto, and yogurt in a new way – on a stick. All pops are made in-house daily with all natural ingredients. On the menu, you'll find 40+ rotating flavors ranging from classics (Chocolate, Vanilla) to the more unique (Green Tea, Passion Fruit), and even seasonal ones too (Watermelon, Pumpkin Pie). You can enjoy your pop as-is, or customize to your liking. Premium dippings and toppings include dark, milk, and white chocolate, nuts, sprinkles, waffle cone, caramel corn, and more!

At Popbar, a mouthwatering experience awaits everyone, even those looking for vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free options. All popSorbettos are vegan-dairy-gluten-soy-free, and all popGelatos and YogurtPops are gluten-soy free. Other indulgences include Hot Chocolate on a Stick, Frozen Hot Chocolate, and the Double Shake, which is Popbar's take on a milkshake, made with any two gelato or sorbetto pops – YUM!

All of this decadence can be attributed to Italian roots and a love for supremely delicious treats. Blending authenticity, innovation, and high quality ingredients, Popbar became a recipe for success, and the contemporary concept has been changing the way we enjoy our favorite Italian desserts since – on an international scale.

Popbar currently has 10 stores in the US in NY, CA, and FL, and 15 stores in Canada, Russia, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and Singapore, but this is just the beginning. There are currently 8 stores under construction in new territories, and many more to come. Popbar's newest location, Miami Beach, is the 11th to open this year and is located in the charming Espanola Way area that locals and visitors have long been drawn to.

"We couldn't be more excited to be opening! Our delicious pops have been a big hit in Delray Beach with locals and tourists, especially foodies, beach lovers, and those looking for guilt-free treats.  We hope to see the same with this long awaited location," says Miami Beach franchisee, Shannon Mays. "My favorite is the almond pop in milk chocolate with waffle cone! We encourage everyone, especially those new to Popbar, to stop by for a taste of deliciousness on a stick."

While Popbar is expanding rapidly, the brand maintains a 'mom and pop' feel at all locations with the help of hand-selected franchisees. Each store prides itself on Popbar's original values – superior quality, in-house production, outstanding service, and authenticity. New stores quickly become classic neighborhood spots, and supplies like fruit and milk are purchased locally.

Popbar is a perfect treat for anyone – baby to adult, and for any occasion – dessert date to post-game celebratory treat to midnight snack. With so many flavors and combinations to try, just one visit won't do.  You'll definitely want to stop in for a "love at first bite" experience, but if you're a foodie, don't forget to snap a picture of your pop first – that is, if you can wait.
