Popfancy Dessert Bar

"At this Bellaire shop, dessert is the entire schtick, and it always comes with an exciting theme. Each month, Popfancy debuts a new experience for the whole family, with indulgent drinks, sundaes, and more to match. Through June 23, Popfancy dedicates itself to the world of anime and Dragon Ball Z, with a transformation into Kamehame, featuring drinks like Super Dragon Fist orange creamsicle soda float and the Special Cream Cannon ice cream dessert served with Pocky sticks and a saucy matcha drizzle. Though admission is free with walk-ins accepted on Mondays through Thursdays, Fastpass reservations are encouraged for busy weekends." - Brittany Britto Garley, Megha McSwain

"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

"It’s a Barbie World for all ages at this dessert bar. Known to rotate themes, Pop Fancy has transformed its cafe into a life-sized doll house, complete with special menu items, like its Pretty in Pink slushy drink, made with prickly pear, guava, and dragon fruit; its ice cream sundaes; and its Glam Goddess avocado toast. Expect a live DJ on weekends and plenty of Instagrammable moments thanks to its pink-fueled Barbie decor, which includes a life-sized Barbie doll box and fashionable outfit displays. Though the establishment welcomes walk-ins Monday through Thursday, reservations are advised on weekends and can be booked online for free." - Megha McSwain

"This Bellaire cafe will deck out its digs in spooky decor through November 10. Popfancy will double as a “quarantine room” with four weeks of zombie-themed menus showcasing sinful, apocalyptic sweets and drinks for all ages, including buildable “radioactive” sundaes and a Bloater Belly concha stuffed with vanilla ice cream and a topping of salted caramel and blood berry sauce." - Brittany Britto Garley

"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
