Made with Select Natural Ingredients & Low Calorie
popbar was founded by Europeans Ruben and Daniel, who wanted to create authentic gelato themselves. When their first shop opened in New York's West Village in May 2010, it quickly became a sensation among New Yorkers. On some days, the queue exceeded an hour, making it a huge hit in America.
The stick gelato is made daily on-site using only carefully selected natural ingredients, free from artificial additives. This makes it safe for children and appealingly low in calories.
Its greatest feature is the ability to customize your own unique combination with toppings and dipping sauces. Depending on the flavor, popping, and dipping sauce you choose, you can create countless variations and discover a new taste every time.
At the first Japanese store, alongside classics like vanilla and chocolate, a total of 26 flavors are offered daily, including pistachio, coconut, mixed berry, and classic yogurt.
There are 7 types of toppings (poppings), such as hazelnut and chocolate sprinkles, and 4 types of dipping sauces, including chocolate. Feel free to select your favorites and discover your own perfect combination.
