The customer service was really disappointing, none of the employees looked even the slightest bit content to be serving their customers. Also, they advertise many vegan options on their website and my family and I were so excited to try it, but when we went to the location, they did not have any vegan options. For anyone looking to try a vegan dessert, do not risk coming to Pop Bar since they rarely carry the vegan pops. Would not recommend to anyone and will definitely not be coming back myself.
We visited this black owned establishment on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. It is located at the Halcyon mixed use community in Alpharetta. There is ample free parking the a nearby parking deck within Halcyon. The popbar was a first a bit difficult to find because it is in the cut, but we did manage to locate it. It is right across the street from the CMX Cinebistro Halcyon. Upon arrival the establishment was clean, modern, and brightly decorated. There are a good variety of flavor combinations, toppings, and items to choose from. It appeared from their menu that they sell the pops ice cream, hot drinks, frozen drinks, and shakes + boba. It can be quite overwhelming deciding on what type of combination to get. They do have a popbar most popular combinations guide with about 8 of their notable pops with assorted toppings and flavors. I have included a photo of these that was placed on the wall next to the pops in the freezer. They also have gelato shakes in an assortment of flavors which comes with a chocolate dipped waffle cone and whipped cream. We didn’t really know what to get so we referred to the most popular combination list I mentioned. I originally chose the hazelnut biscotti pop combination, but they didn’t have the hazelnut popGelato. I had to settle for the Vanilla Sundae option which my boyfriend also chose. They didn’t really have a lot of the flavors of PopGelato which I thought was lacking. They only had mango, watermelon, raspberry, peach, cherry, lemon, coconut, chocolate, cookies n’ cream, vanilla, and Irish coffee. They appeared to have all of the toppings which included waffle cone, graham cracker crumble, cinnamon pretzel, rainbow sprinkle, chocolate sprinkle, almond, coconut, chilly powder, hazelnut, and pistachio. They have a couple of awards on the wall as well. Google awarded them as a top rated dessert shop in 2021. Atlanta Magazine ranked them amongst one of the 7 spots to get gelato in Metro Atlanta for 2020. It appears they were also a taste of Atlanta winner in 2020. They do have a popbar rewards program where customers can earn free pops, get $5 off every $40 spent and other treats. This is a franchising company, but this location is franchise black owned. On the brightly colored door it states they have popGelato, popSorbet, shakes, frozen lemonade, popFloats, dessert waffles, pop’N Boba, and hot chocolate. Also they have pupCups for dogs which can be eaten on their patio. I didn’t get a great look or photo of their health score, but it appeared to be a 100 A which is amazing. The vanilla sundae was a vanilla popGelato, half dipped in dark chocolate, with rainbow sprinkles. The employee hand dipped it and put the sprinkle topping on right in front of us. This is a quick and fast ice cream treat for sure. I felt the employees were nice enough and professional above all. There is no seating inside, but there is seating right outside of the business on a bench, and also at a small table and chairs. Once we got our Vanilla Sundaes we went outside and sat on the bench to enjoy our treats. The ice-cream was pretty good. The vanilla popbar paired well with the dark chocolate and sprinkle additions. This was a pretty simple and tasty treat. I would definitely like to try some of their other most popular flavor combinations. I wouldn’t mind returning, I would just hope they have more pop flavors to be able to purchase some of these other notable flavor combinations. I’m not sure if they just didn’t have more because it was a weekday or if that is how this particular location is lowly stocked on items. I wouldn’t mind coming again on a weekend evening after the movies across the street. They do have merchandise for sale on a few shelves against the wall. This includes lunch boxes, mugs, pens, visors $10, t-shirts $18, hats $12, and baseballs $12. It also appeared they had chocolate covered almonds for sale as well. They do have options to order online, but it if for items they are in bulk. I wouldn’t not recommend this business, but maybe try to go on a weekend to see if they have more flavor options.

Best gelato pops ever??? especially the dippings and toppings!!!
I was in the area and wanting a sweet treat! This place came highly recommended by the aesthetician that did my facial at Clean Your Dirty Face located in the same plaza.This is basically an order and go spot. The interior is small and there is only a small bench out front. However, this forces you to walk around the place to burn the calories that you will consume from your popbar.When I walked in there were no patrons, and one employee behind the bar. I advised that it was my first visit so I was given a run down of what they offered. The pop-bar is gelato on a stick! They offer gluten free and vegan options. This is a great spot to check out if your group has various dietary restrictions.I don't recall the exact flavor of the pop that I tried, However, it was a chocolate base. I opted to dip it in white Chocolate and graham cracker. Please note that the bar is one price, the dip is basically an up charge as are the toppings. Overall, I was not upset with the total cost. I think it's on par with any other ice cream and/or gelato shop. The pop was good. I would try it again if in the area.
Great experience, awesome customer service and great flavor options. Stop by, you will not regret!
We went for a night. There was a line out the door, but it moved quick. The employees offered water to those outside. There was a large selection of flavors, you can try them before you commit. I had the lemon one.. it was delicious....
The wife chose this Black ? Owned spot for dessert, it was very good. My hazelnut ice cream bar covered in Carmel Chocolate and pistachios, and her vanilla ice cream Sandwich bar with half carmel chocolate, and half milk chocolate covered in waffle cone crumbs.We love the fact that it is Black ? Owned, and would to tell them Thank you, keep up the good work, and stay strong..?❤️?✊?????
This is a must-try if in the area!! The staff were very friendly and asked if it was our first time. He told us everything is fresh and made in-house and suggested popular combinations. We got the Snickerdoodle popsicle dipped in white chocolate with graham cracker sprinkles. It was fresh & delicious.
A great choice for some Ice cream on the stick... A variety of choice for flavor and gelato shakes are amazing. Kids loved it and to top it off - service was excellent ?. They were very patient and explained the options. Definitely a great alternative for desserts
