HOUSTON, TX 77036 / DESSERTS/ 07-19-23 -They charge a 3.99% credit card fee. -The staff had a bunch of their friends in the back hanging out. -The desserts are okay. Based on old pictures in the reviews, this place looks like it went down hill. -The cashier wasn't too helpful and looked like she did not want to work.

They had this Mario video game thing going on so I thought I would try it out. First thing you notice is how small the space is, but it is decorated absolutely fantastic. And the music was video game themed but it was entirely too loud. Then went to order and they had the ice cream and drinks but they were out of the novelty containers which was the biggest bummer. The ice cream was ok. This is really a dessert for the kids, because it was entirely too sweet for me. This would be fun to take the kids to for a treat. I would not suggest for a date night. read more

We came for the Super Mario theme/decor, which was awesome. My little one loved that. But we purchased two sets of reservations and waited in a long hot line well past the opening time. The manager/owner was unhelpful at that time when i asked for assistance. He was very curt and even had us move tables to accommodate a larger party that came after me. As I sat in my newly assigned seat and typed this review, a customer experienced a medical emergency on top of my table (that I was just asked to relocate to due to having a smaller table size) and I found myself in a situation working alongside the manager/owner, for which he later thanked me. I suppose everything happens for a reason... We had the rainbow road, pac man waffles, breadsticks, and peachX3 drink. read more

Environment and atmosphere were great! It was nice to see everyone order items that You would think you would only see at a theme park or from a movie. Great idea. The current theme was Harry Potter and it made me feel like I was at Hogwarts Cafe. Me and my sister had just finished eating and wanted to stop by. We were a bit full but ordered a toasty smore hot chocolate with a chocolate frog bomb. Was chocolateeee and yummy. read more

Came to check out PopFancy Dessert Bar, I saw a line formed outside before opening so I jumped on in and waited about 2 minutes. What a cool, fun, atmosphere so this place usually has different themes and they create different desserts to go along with those themes. I was lucky enough to catch Sailor Moon I ordered a double scoop ice cream on a huge piece of toast with Ferraro Rocher candies and chocolate drizzle. I also ordered a rainbow fruit drink and some waffle fish stuffed with a type of spiced either apple or pear I wasn't too sure what it was but it was delicious. I recommend looking online before coming to the location to see what kind of theme they're having. A cool experience, very fun would definitely come again! My children had a really great time and enjoyed the experience overall. read more

The food is acceptable. What we like the most are the themes today: Harry Potter and Wicked. The wait time is over 40 minutes. The store now offers a fast ticket pass that customers can purchase to bypass the long lines. For the most part, people are joking around and trying to make the best of the situation while waiting for hours to get inside. In the future, I will reconsider waiting this long. I removed two stars from my positive review because it's a hazard to have so many people waiting for such an extended period. Perhaps we could encourage more businesses in the area to open similar stores. read more

I've been here a few times and the pop ups are always SUPER themed and I love it. The decor, the menu, the atmosphere is always on point with whatever theme is going on at the moment. The latest one I went to was Sailor Moon themed and a tekken tournament going on. The decor was great. The wings for photo ops was cute. The fiery dessert was amazing. The toast edges were a little too crisp and hard but the rest of it was good. The crème brûlée bananas were a nice touch. Staff was friendly. They were frequently cleaning and wiping tables as well. read more

Having Popfancy at our wedding was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved the variety of flavors, the cute popsicle cart and the interactive toppings bar. The two servers were very helpful and professional. My favorite popsicles were the viet coffee and taro but honestly all of them were delicious. I've had so many people ask me where the popsicles were from and I'm so glad they have their Bellaire location for me to refer our guests to. I would definitely recommend such a fun and delicious vendor for your wedding or party!! They were so responsive and helpful throughout the whole booking process. read more

So I walked in, and this place was just magical! If you're a big fan of anime, Popfancy is your dessert bar of dreams!! I wanted the strawberry sando, but they had just run out.The cashier was so sweet and helpful she helped me decide what else to get. So... I got a taiyaki sundae like option instead!!! You have a choice of ice cream and toppings. I had a very citrusy pineapple option with some coconut ice cream. The ice cream had bits of real coconut and was soooo creamy. My mouth had a party!!! I thought I wasn't gonna finish it all, but I did it. If you want a fun experience and fancy dessert, this is it! read more

Stopped in with the kids to check out the ice-cream. They have lots of toppings and mix-ins for the ice cream, but like many specialty icecream shops the it can get a little pricy. Chocolate Brownie Popsicle: I was very excited to try out the popsicles, however I was a bit let down. The biggest issue was that the majority of the treat was made up of icy crystals that seemed flavorless and crunchy. It had large chunk of brownie in the center. The toppings was ok I went with white chocolate, coconut and a chocolate drizzle. The price for this was almost $4. It was an ok treat, but not something I would rush back to try again. Ice-Cream Cup: These cost a little under $7. You get lots of options for add ins and toppings. Both the ones my children got had cerial at the bottom so when the ice cream melts it makes a sweet milk and cerial treat at the bottom, if you do not mix it all togeather. I tried both the cup they had and will say that its much better than the popcicle. An Interesting note is that they hand extrude the icecream if you get flavored icecream. It looked like it took a bit of muscle and work to make it. There was no event or "pop up", taking place when I visited so our only option was the base menu. In the end this is an ok dessert bar that looks better in pictures than it is in real life. So give it a try if you like, but I would not have the highest expectations. read more

Pros: Very cute shop with changing pop up theme. Currently Pokémon themed and I was excited to see it. The Pokémon menu isn't released until Friday so I was a little bummed but I got a Japanese strawberry milk which I enjoyed. Service was kind and courteous. They have free play arcade games which I really enjoyed! Cons: It's pretty small. I would not come here on a weekend or when it is super busy. Not sure it would be worth waiting in line. Also my drink was almost $7 which seemed a bit pricy for strawberry milk. read more

Cute little place that we stumbled in yesterday after lunch. Good idea of having the new theme now and then. Price ranges are very reasonable. They only have the Japanese animation them until 4/30. Food and drink are good. read more

I walked on by and had to come in when I saw all the cool decor through the windows. The theme of this dessert bar changes every so often and this time the theme was Winter Wanderlust! I really loved all the decor. There were items on the menu that were Harry Potter themed as well as Harry Potter merch for sale too. I'm a Harry Potter fan so I was very excited! I ordered the Snow Queen's Kiss and it came out very quickly. This was a drink made with lychee soda, crystal boba, and lychee fruit with a snowflake shaped gummy included. The drink itself tasted very average and didn't really stand out, especially for the price point. The soda itself didn't really even have a lychee taste. The place is really good for the experience and the vibes but I'm not so sure about the menu items. I still would give this place a try again when the dessert bar come out with another new theme. read more

My nephew is a Harry Potter fan so I took he and my niece and although they loved the look of it and said they had fun which is what matters, I also have to say my issues. The place is way too crowded, not because it has to be but because they make it that way. They would tell people to order first and then find a seat and they were ignored. A huge party came in which clearly didn't check in ahead of time and then everyone started sending kids to save tables which you're not supposed to. Then there were 2 parties of 3 and only 2 tables to accommodate that size and so they checked someone in and had them wait right by our table until we left and she just kept telling her kids we were leaving soon. They shouldn't be waiting there, wait outside and buzz them when we leave. The place looked great but that's it. read more

Popfancy always has the cutest themes and they had Sailor Moon! My sister and I came and spent a few minutes looking and picking out from the goodies near the door. When we got to the register, the cashier was sitting down and just staring up at us. She was talking low even while the music was blasting, and when I showed that I couldn't hear her that well, she damn near yelled her response. The cashier did not have a welcoming demeanor and did not say anything even after I paid. A "thank you" or "have a nice day" would have been nice. So, it is a 0 for the customer service but the goodies they sell are always a 10/10, the food is always a 10/10 and the theme and set ups are always a 10/10! Maybe the cashier with the stank demeanor and attitude should be put to work in another part of the store. read more

Let's begin with the entrance. Whichever season or current "thing" is in popularity at the moment, the entrance will reflect the holiday or current trend. It is a small space so don't expect a grand restaurant or shopping area. It is about the size of a subway fast food. However, for a small space they have a seating area and small retail center. The menu consists of limited food, ice cream, and drinks that reflects the current theme. Price: 2 -3 dollar signs $$-$$$ read more

Sweet tooth was incoming after our dinner so my friend suggested this place since it was nearby. Kind of late at night and hardly anyone in the store so checked it out. Wanted the ice cream swirl but (gasp) they could not serve it due to the machine. Bummer, so settled for the chocolate Oreo pop. Placed on a silver tray, it's decadent and filled with chocolate goodness with the Oreo crispy topping. Very satisfying although the chocolate can be a bit messy. Might need a utensil next time. I hope to get the swirl next time I pop here. Definitely recommend this place for your sugar sweet fix. read more

Honestly more hype than anything. Theme was mean girls this weekend. Anyway, there's anime souvenirs sold (we got some doll $15), milk cereal popsicle, mango chamoy popsicle (they're small), strawberry lemonade, a hibiscus something and some other drinks. We skipped the diabetes looking ice cream stuff. They looked pretty but overwhelmingly sweet. Overall, it's overhyped. Drinks were good but again, it's not all that. Small seating area. read more

Got the matcha milk - strawberry. I thought it would be matcha with strawberry toppings but it was sweet milk with strawberries. I saw that there was a 10% off if you checked in but I already paid. I don't live around here so I asked if I could have that refunded back to me but they said no and I was very disappointed. If you shake the drink, the milk gets congealed. The interior design is cute but the drink is too sweet. read more

Came on a Friday at 8:30pm - line wasn't bad at all. Didn't even need the virtual stand by or fast pass. We hung around the area and around 9pm it was PACKED! Line was all the way down to Two Hands. Fast passes recommended if you plan to go around 9pm or after on a Friday. Food was really good. Smelled good too! They also sell merch inside with the theme. Lady who took our order was very nice and took time to give recommendations on the food. Iron Maiden was the theme when we went. read more

I've been to this place for several different "events" they have. They totally transform the place each time. This time was a winter wanderlust combining a snowy frozen ice castle vibe with Harry Potter elements. Amazing decoration and lighting that feels like you've walked into a different world. They always have such creative new desserts to go along with the theme. Parking isn't great over here but hopefully you can get a spot out front. If not they have a multilevel parking garage over to the far left of the strip mall. read more

I was looking for a place to get desserts with a friend and stumbled across PopFancy on Yelp. The pictures of the various desserts that I saw looked very enticing so I was excited to give it a try. We got to the establishment and was greeted to some loud techno/dance type music and a few people in costumes. I noticed quickly that the restaurant had an anime/90's theme going on which goes from the decor, the employee's attire all the way down to the menu. The whole concept is actually pretty cool if you're into that type of thing. They even have arcade games that you can play for free and some board games/ toys that you could purchase. To my knowledge the themes at the restaurant are "pop-ups" so they change from time to time. Because I was caught off guard with the themes, the items that I originally saw on Yelp that I hoped to order were not available so I settled for the Big Kid Caprisun (pop rock flavor), my friend got the Kamehameha slurpy and we split the legend baby dragonball cake. We both enjoyed our drinks as they were both very sweet and also had the boba balls in them. The dragon ball "cake" was basically jello so nothing to rant and rave about there. Parking in the lot was very busy and little packed and also there was pretty limited seating inside so just a couple of things to keep in mind if you ever visit. read more

So fun and trendy! I love their pop-ups. They've done Sailor Moon, K-pop, Pokèmon, Harry Potter and now Demon Slayer. I've been to their Sailor Moon and Demon Slayer events. They have themed menus, decor, games, music and merchandise. It's super awesome to enter another world when you walk through the door. Sailor Moon was their first and I gotta say, they've come a long way. Their organization and efficiency is top notch now. Going to the Demon Slayer pop-up, I was worried they'd be out of merch or treats and that the wait would be crazy long (as it was during Sailor Moon). I was in and out of there so fast, with a Tanjiro treat and figure in tow! Both the treat and the figure were fairly priced and super cute! They have a parking garage and a small lot in front of the store but it gets packed, so prepare to search! I have been lucky when I've gone but I've seen people park across the street during one of their busy days. Can't wait to see what else they have planned! This has become one of my Houston essentials! read more

Pros: -decor -staff is hella friendly -vibes is super fun -each event that is held is super festive -ice cream and desserts are SUPER well done Con: -I wish the place was slightly bigger so there's more room for more tables and people to play the arcade games. There's always a crowd whenever I walk by or come in. -Even though the presentations are all hellllllaaaa amazing for their food and drinks, there's some aspects where some pieces fall apart/design flaw such as really hard gummy, their hot drinks were in one of the cheaper paper cups, etc. read more

Was there for the Super Mario and Twice themes they have. Twice one was just 2 drinks and then they give you a cup sleeve. We only ordered drinks. We got the Fancy, Woo, Candy Bong and the Superstar? The Superstar one it's extra charge if you want it in the star container they have. Out of the 3 drinks we got, the Fancy, woo one was the best. The fancy woo and candy bong ones were rather sugary tbh. Doesn't look as nice as the picture but it's ok! The rubber ducky is additional $1 charge, got it as a souvenir. The Superstar drink was kinda too sour for me especially after drinking the fancy woo. Least favorite was the candy bong. There's some type of flavoring that was too strong for me in that drink, I forgot what fruit flavor it was. Both the candy bong and fancy woo came with a small lollipop which I thought was really cute. Really cool theme and good for 1 time visit. Recommend you to get the ticket to skip the line, especially during the summer. If we haven't gotten the tickets, might have taken us 30 mins or so to get in. Tbh place was smaller than I thought. I called in ahead of time bc I was confused if there's two themed exhibitions going on or something but it was all in one room. Felt a little cramped. They had a dj there and he was really cool, played a lot of Twice music for us. Good for a one time visit but would go again if there's any themes that I like read more

This is the place where (a lot of) your instagram fantasies can come true. Revolving themes with decor and people in costumes, cute lights and signage, and crazy looking desserts! No end to the photo ops! We got there on Sunday around 2 pm, and there was some sort of event going on (apologies, i don't know the theme but guess anime). People in costumes and very very loud music, it was packed. My friend ordered this oreo ice cream thing from the menu that was about $10 all in. It came out with dry ice making cool swirling smoke around it- lovely! Cool effects! But I guess thats what you are paying for. The description said it was cookies and cream ice cream- it wasn't, it was vanilla ice cream and they had crushed up oreos on the top and on the bottom. The other thing was you carry out this big plastic cup that LOOKS like it's filled with delicious dessert-ness as it appears on the menu illustration...it's not. They put a smaller, domed cup filler in the cup. So all you're getting for $10 was at MOST two ice cream scoops and then they cover it with whipped cream and decoration to make it look like this big towering dessert. My friend dipped her spoon in there and hits the bottom plastic thing and we were like- wait what? It was really misleading for the price. Also, not a lot of seating at all. People had absolutely no where to sit because so many were jammed in there for the event. The novelty is there, sure, and I wouldn't object to going back because hey, dessert is still dessert and it's delicious no matter what. Plus, it is impressive on the 'gram! read more

Went on a group date and ended up here. I was honestly pretty confused at the Harry Potter theme and what vibe this shop was going for. They offered ice cream, drinks (kind of like boba but lemonade based?), along with some other desserts. This struck me as a pretty hard-core instagrammable location geared towards millennials and tik tokers and lacking actual substance. If I craved great ice cream, I probably wouldn't come here. Same with boba. Overall just a little bit odd experience for me and not sure if I'd go back? read more

I've attended many pop up events at the Popfancy Dessert Bar, and it has always been amazing! I first visited in September of 2022, for a Kpop themed event. The decorations were all cute! They had a lot of good items on their menu, but I chose a fruit slushie which was placed in a small bathtub. It was good! I visited the cafe again in early (Feb.) 2023, for their Ant-Man Quantumania event. I didn't order any food, but the atmosphere was great! Lastly, I visited the cafe in November, for their Studio Ghibli event. I ordered the Totoro themed Onigiri and Soot Sprite themed Chimney cake. Both were great, and came out fast! They made sure to get all of the food out even though they were very busy. I love this cafe! I love how they decorate their themes, and I adore the food they serve for each theme. It is a great place to go for fun and for something different. Each theme they have different food, large options, which all look great. The workers are also very nice every time. They get busy on weekends on when open on holidays, so I recommend going either on the weekday or non-busy hours. The experience is fun every single time I've gone! read more

03.19.2024 - Made it to PopFancy in Houston Texas - what a cute place - tried their Lychee Cherry Blossom Breath of Love - so refreshing and delicious. The drink brings you to a place to imagine walking under cherry blossoms in the spring time. The drink is so pretty and elegant. It was very refreshing and crisp. Walking into Popfancy was also an experience. The decor was all in Anime and I recall that week we went in was a Demon Slayer theme. I take it that they change themes on a regular basis. I recall on the phone that they get pretty packed on the weekends that you will need to reserve. It depends on the demand and popularity of the time. Their handcrafted sodas are very impressive. In all honesty, the shopping strip has other drinks to try like Boba next door. I didn't want to try boba drinks since I know I can get that anywhere. But handcrafted sodas is different. I wanted to leave Houston saying that I tried something new. No regrets. This was an experience. read more

I went here during their arcade pop-up event. I was fairly disappointed in how the event was set up and the quality/price of the drinks and food. To get into the event, you had an option of paying a $3.30 fee for each person to have first priority during a specific time frame in entering the event but not guaranteed seating. I believe they shouldn't have done that because we still had to wait for a long time to enter the store. I'm not sure if they had a limit to how many people could register for priority entrance, but definitely way too many people to be entering a certain time frame. Me and my friend chose the earliest time and it still took us 30 minutes to enter the restaurant and 30 minutes to get 2 drinks. The interior of the store was really cute and arcade themed. However, it was nearly impossible to play the ~4 arcade games they had cause there were so many people and space was very tight. I got the strawberry milk and my friend got the melona soda. The melona soda was like 95% melona and 5% soda. The strawberry milk was pretty good. Two drinks cost $20. With the service and the experience, I can't really justify the cost of the drinks. read more

I like the idea of a themed dessert bar. I went the week of January 31st and was unfamiliar with the theme but wasn't all that concerned with it to begin with. I didn't realize that the theme and menu change week to week so I was a little disappointed that the boba waffles I had seen on Yelp wouldn't be available for purchase. I didn't care for any of the drink or ice cream options available so I decided to get the spam musubi which was okay. I preferred my friend's meal and just ate his kimchi and rice since he didn't like it. The shop was pretty packed and there didn't seem to be a ton of seating which was interesting because we went on a Sunday night. I would return but I don't think I'm all that inclined to. read more

They had my favorite theme ZOMBIES! It made this birthday better than any other! The staff was nice and welcoming and decorations made me feel like I was in a house on resident evil. I had the nachos and it was so delicious. I had a lot left over I took it home and add new chips. My I. V mango drink was tooooo sweet! I added it to my husbands drink in order for me to enjoy it. The birria noodles need more flavor. Had to add hot sauce to enjoy. Ice cream with the smoke was IG photo worthy and very delicious. The tapioca balls in my husband drink was so good, mango flavor way better than the black ones that normally be in my drink. I can't wait to see what the next theme will be. read more
