POP-i Ice Cream - Homemade mango and coconut ice cream. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brownsville, Texas

Yummy! You've got to try this place! It is a little ice cream shop that serves ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, paletas, agua frescas and a few other things. Everything is homemade and super yummy and reasonably priced. We really have enjoyed trying the different paletas. Each one I have tried was delicious but I think the strawberry/cream cheese was my favorite. Their sign lists 34 different flavors! How cool is that? There are plenty of tables and even a couch so it would be a nice place for a casual date. read more

Wow!! Great snack place. I tried the Chamoy Sorbet which was delicious. Sweet and spicy with a hint of lime. The drive through can get busy but they have the option of ordering online and curbside pickup. Unfortunately the inside is being remodeled and is closed for now. Highly recommend! read more

Really fresh fruits. Real natural, prepared fresh. Not ready made. Sugar free ice cream and popsicles available too. Delicious !!! read more

Love this place! When they first opened my family and I would come here at least twice a week. Now every time we are in town we make it our "must stop". I love their milkshakes and my favorite is their coffee flavored one with a dash of cinnamon. They have a variety of ice cream flavors and gelato. I have yet come across a flavor I didn't like. Their popsicles are very flavorful and they have small ones so you can try all of the flavors (great to dip in vodka!). Their popsicles always taste great (other places sometimes taste like freezer burn) and it seems like everything is pretty much freshly made. I highly recommend this place for your sweet tooth! read more

Great little place to sit with your friends and have a cup of Joe or a few scoops of a great verity of ice creams, or popsicles. It's got a great corner with couches to chill on or the typical chairs and tables at cafe's. It's open real early if you wanna stop by for your morning coffee and it closes late enough in case you have one of those cravings after dinner and you just need something sweet. The only thing I'd change about this great little place is the location. It feels a little isolated. Other than that I love it! read more

POP-i Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brownsville, Texas

Love Popeii. Some very unique ice cream flavors and really great snacks. Got something for everyone.

This place has so many choices and flavors it's difficult to choose. I really enjoyed the paleta andt the gelato looked amazing as well. There's plenty of seating so you don't have to take your dessert immediately outside in the heat. Not a lot of options in this area so I would definitely recommend taking advantage of this place if you have a sweet tooth. Ask to try before you choose. read more

Best place to get treats or snacks for the kids like handmade gelato, elote en vaso, aguas frescas, nachos, etc. The line is slow to move but they have their reason. read more

We stumbled into this gem when we went to South Padre Island for vacation over the summer. I'm glad we found it when we first arrived because we went back almost every night. Between my entire family, we basically tried one of everything and it was outstanding. The flavors were clean and intense, not overly sweet or bland. Prices are also cheap and they have a large variety of items to suit your needs. It's a family establishment and you can tell, the service was great. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mario and he even gave me freebies for my bday, I couldn't have been more pleased. We're 15hrs away so sadly we won't be visiting soon but boy do we miss it! We'd be happy to help them bring it to our state though ;) read more

Had the banana nut shake & thoroughly enjoyed the taste and freshness. Cheap pricing & friendly team. Loved the collage of former Presidents eating ice cream on the wall near the service counter. read more

Their ice cream is so good ( i recommend the vanilla flavor) and their waters such as Horchata and melon are DEVINE. I totally recommend coming here for a quick stop to get "made on the spot" treats for watching a sports game, or on the ride home. read more

Everything was so yummy and fresh! I couldn't get over how cheap it was. So glad we stopped here before catching our flight north. read more

Good snacks and fair prices, sometimes it may take a while depending on what you order.

Best place every for a snack fix! Happy hour from 2-5 for aguas frescas makes me come back daily. Their sorbets and gelato are to die for as well as their fresh veggie juices. I come here every chance I get when visiting Brownsvile. read more

Just like being in Mexico... licuados, fruta fresca, paletas... PLUS gelato! I think the Hot Cheetos with cheese blew my mind. read more

Still love this place as much as a did when I first reviewed. I'm not in town anymore so this place doesn't get my patronage as much as before.. But I try to tell all of my friends about it. Everything I've tried from here is amazing.. But honestly I just always get the maracuya gelato. It's amazing. Guys, really. So amazing in fact that last time I was in Brownsville I went there three times in three days! They must be doing good for themselves(awesome) because a second location has opened up on Paredes. Go to either or BOTH! read more

The variety of choices is everything! I had the blackberry cream-cheese paleta and it's literally the best paleta I ever had. Before leaving, I ordered a chocolate shake and I don't think I'd ever order one from anywhere other than here. I'm definitely coming again. read more

The ice cream/gelato is really good, it's the only thing i come for. The only concern i have is that the line takes a really long time. i waited 45 minutes in the drive-thru for just a small gelato, but well worth the wait! read more

Had a Guanabana and mango gelato here on my way to SPI and loved every bite. Cool joint with friendly workers. Come here for sure!

Found this place on Yelp and boy are we glad we did. My wife, 3 kids and I love this place. Just vacationing and craved some ice cream. Turns out the Gelato and Paletas are awesome. The fruitiness comes out unbelievably in everything we tried. The chocolate gelato may be the best I've ever had. We've been here two nights in a row it's so good. read more

¡Buenaso! I had the tamarindo mini-paleta and the fruit cocktail with chili and lime. Sooo good! Can't wait to go back and try the other paleta flavors. read more

Really yummy the gelato is always good and there is always something new to try. My son couldn't stop eating his banana gelato and the passion fruit gelato was surprisingly tasty. read more

I love the ice cream from Popeii! They give you such a wide variety of flavors to choose from with suuuucch delicious taste! The BlackberryCheescake ice cream is to die for!!

Such a wonderful and affordable treat that will satisfy anyone in this hot Brownsville heat. Thank You Popeii! read more

Great selection of treats. My mom had the "nuez paleta" and she said it was wonderful and she's a great judge because she grew up on this stuff! That's probably why she selected 6 different flavors after I had suggested she slept 2 or 3! read more

Super friendly!!! I got a few different things and they were all so good. Had a good variety of ice cream, etc. Weren't stingy with their samples. The sizes were good for the price point. And I will definitely visit again! read more

Excellent snacks, aguas frescas, delicious home made ice cream & everything is fresh.

We love Popeii so much! The ice creams and gelatos are homemade and some of the most amazing we've ever tasted. Blackberry with cream cheese is definitely my favorite! The corn in a cup is perfect, the best I've had the pleasure of trying. The fruit cups with cream are so amazing and quite filling. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the place has fun decor and is always super clean. If it wasn't for the worry of clothes getting too small I think we'd go every few days :) read more

Yum Yum Yum affogato al caffe. Only place that makes it! The store located on Old Port Isabel Rd.

Delicious homemade ice cream & gelato. Will definitely be a regular here from now on.

Delicious ice cream options, and aguas frescas are very cheap between 2-5.

It used to be awesome. The ice cream cones, as well as the banana splits, were both inexpensive and very well served. Now the cones' price has gone up, and it would be justified if it had the same amount of ice cream, but they're smaller than ever. The banana splits are not what they used to be: well served and with a good amount of syrup, sprinkles and pecans. Don't get me wrong, they're still good, but the sizing went down and the prices went up. Also, the employees are not as friendly as they used to be. read more
