"At this Bellaire shop, dessert is the entire schtick and always comes with an exciting theme, whether it be based on anime, a holiday, or popular films or TV shows. Each month, Popfancy debuts a new experience for the whole family, with indulgent drinks, sundaes, and more to match. Flavors range from piña colada and Thai tea to matcha KitKat and the over-the-top Cereal Monster Swirl. Vanilla ice cream is blended with Fruity Pebbles and topped with Trix and Froot Loops. Though admission is free with walk-ins accepted on Mondays through Thursdays, Fastpass reservations are encouraged for busy weekends." - Marcy de Luna
"I discovered that this Bellaire cafe will be decked out in spooky decor through November 10 and transformed into a playful “quarantine room” featuring four weeks of zombie-themed menus with sinful apocalyptic sweets and drinks, including buildable “radioactive” sundaes and a Bloater Belly concha stuffed with vanilla ice cream topped with salted caramel and blood berry sauce; reservations are encouraged." - Brittany Britto Garley
"When the family is craving dessert with a dash of excitement, head to this fan-fueled, which debuts a new theme each month, inspiring newer takes on their ice cream sundaes, frozen and festive drinks, and light bites. The most recent theme is an Iron Maiden pirate theme, offering butterbeer and buildable sundaes, but the Bellaire shop has also gone all out in the name of arcade games, Stranger Things, Barbie, Ant-Man, holidays, and more." - Brittany Britto Garley
"I visited Pop Fancy and found it transformed into a life-sized doll house with pink-fueled decor, a Pretty in Pink slushy made with prickly pear, guava, and dragon fruit, rotating ice cream sundaes, a Glam Goddess avocado toast, a live DJ on weekends, and plenty of Instagrammable moments; walk-ins are welcome Monday–Thursday but reservations are advised on weekends." - Megha McSwain
"Unicorn Magical Dessert Bar closed after a mere two months in its location on Dirty Sixth. The Instagram-friendly shop, which did not bake its goods, still has a location in Houston." - Tim Forster
