    Tiramisu on the left & golden dragon fruit on the right

    I loved the service! Both the ice cream and pops are really good! I also like that they have the flavoryboth in the ice cream or the pops.

    Unique flavors
    Sandra K.

    Came here after the pizza at neighbors and I have to say I was mighty surprised. We had been featuring Morelia paletas in Rice Village ever since the Yelp event but this place could stand on its own and has. The ice cream flavors were very unique and all of the paletas and pops had their own unique flavor. My kid got bubble gum and it was blue and I was skeptical but it was actually quite tasty. Service is a person lot even behind the counter with a Toast machine checking you out but also scooping ice cream. Smallest space ever and there's no space to eat inside BUT the building is open if you want some coverage. Parking for the entire place is a small parking lot in the back or free street parking. Had no problems finding a spot in the lot.

    Such a cute place! Service was great! The variety of popsicles are really good. You Can go fruity or a combination. I picked up 4 - one for now 3 for when i get a craving. So far, they are all delicious. I learned that the owner used to have a cart at UH and several farmer's markets!

    Blueberry mojito pop
    Jasmin F.

    Because I'm never too old to enjoy a popsicle. On a stroll through the second ward my cousin and I stopped by and grabbed a treat. Love the art work on the building as it stands out with all the vibrant colors. Service was great and our attendant was very helpful. The menu consists of both gelato and sorbet pops. Today I tried the blueberry mojito and I was in love. You can tell they use only fresh ingredients that you can taste in every bite. The popsicle was refreshing and if it were a much hotter day I'd definitely grab two. If popston doesn't already, please sell by the box. The community needs these delicious items in store.

    Cookie butter and sorbet popsicles
    Taegen S.

    Popston was the perfect pit stop to our bike ride through Houston in the summer. We were amazed by the beautiful painting and decor outside the shop and were greeted by the super friendly cashier. This being our first time, he walked us through the flavor options kindly. We order the cookie butter and sorbet popsicles, and both were SO amazing. The cookie butter one was creamy, yet still refreshing. Any cookie butter lovers will fall in love with this popsicle. The sorbet one was also very clean and refreshing with various tropical fruit flavors embedded in the popsicle. Overall price is okay -- not cheap for sure. But I think the hospitality, unique flavors, and decor of the place made up for it. We will be back to try more!

    Passionfruit Guava
    Ann G.

    I have tried Popston before when they were just selling it from their little cart at a park. I was happy when they opened their brick and mortar. Their popsicles are still delicious just like how I remember it. I got the Passion Fruit Guava Popsicle which was apparently a popular option for customers. It was dairy-free, light, refreshing, and perfect for the 100 degree Houston weather. They have gelato pops and popsicles for dogs. They also sell ice cream pints. The popsicle was delicious and I would definitely go back but I'm docking 1 star just because it was $5/popsicle and for me it was expensive but also understandable because it's gourmet popsicle in East Downtown Houston. When you arrive to the place, you can park next to the plant store. My husband and I were not able to go inside the store but they have a walk up window where you order and they have chairs outside with umbrellas if you want to stay and hang out.

    This place is nestled in a busy st in second waqdi. You have to find Street parking. There's no indoor seating, only outdoor. We walked up to the order window and had to knock several times as no one was manning the front window. They should have a doorbell or something. We finally got someone's attention, had it been easier I would've given 5 stars. Staff was friendly. The strawberry cheesecake was good but the Mexican bananas foster will have me Dreaming about it until I get another. It was so creamy and deliscious with a cookie in the center and small chunks of chocolate. I will definitely return to try more flavors!

    Folks are super nice. First time here and they recommended which ice cream to try. They have sorbet & gelato. So I got the Rodeo Clown (sorbet: strawberry, lemon, mango, pineapple, guanavana (?) and the berry cheesecake gelato pop. They were delicious and not as sweet as I thought. So soft and just the perfect size.

    Toasted rice and caramel biscoff cookie pops!
    Dominique N.

    I love these popsicles. They even have a pupsicles for your doggo. They have so many options for so many type of diets, from gelato pops to dairy free sorbet pops, there is something for nearly everyone. They also have gelato and pops to go, so you can enjoy the pops again or later!

    Mangonada with chamoy
    Summer B.

    This delicious place never disappoints. I found them on instagram, visited their location and immediately fell in love. I have taken in-town AND out-of-town friends to this location. Just today I took my work buddies. The people are incredibly friendly. The treats are so fresh and always hit the spot. The locations is easy to get to by car or train and of course walking. Parking is easy and FREE. Highly recommend and obviously will be back.

    Popston is the place to go to beat the Houston heat! Treat yourself to dairy-free or dairy rich. The flavors are what they say they are. You can go back every day and never run out of goodness to try! Service is quick and friendly! There are plenty of umbrella-covered tables on the patio next to the stand. This place does Second ward proud!

    Got the following flavors: carrot cake, rain or shine, city that never sleeps, and yum cha…read more I really liked their carrot cake. Honestly, can't go wrong with any of their flavors. Love the creativity and highly suggest sampling all of them They will typically have at least 1 non dairy options, but for all my lactose intolerant people out there, I found it super interesting that they also SELL LACTASE at the front checkout !! Never seen this before in my entire life and I feel that this is so helpful and also kind of funny

    We were craving a late night dessert after leaving East River 9 so we stopped at milk + sugar…read more Overall, great service but not much to be impressed about. 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 horchata was nice with hints of cinnamon and with the split cup made it taste even better.
