Popbar just made Charlotte a whole lot sweeter!

Their specialty is Italian gelato on a stick that you can fully customize, using their delicious dippings and toppings. 

My favorite part? ALL of their popbars are gluten free, made with hormone-free milk, no preservatives, no artificial coloring, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. They even have options for those who are dairy-free and vegan. Their gelatos, sorbets, frozen drinks, and yogurts are made using a handful of fresh, real food ingredients (made right on site, daily!) for the best possible authenticity and taste. The sorbet, for example, is made of 80% actual fruit.

The strawberry pop I got there was made using real strawberries! 

I would absolutely call Popbar a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream/soft serve franchises.

I got to sit down and chat with Kia, a co-owner of Popbar in Charlotte. She gave me an inside scoop:

Her and husband have always wanted to be entrepreneurs, and when they got their first taste of a Popbar pop, it was love at first sight.

They knew they wanted to bring it to Charlotte, and they officially opened their location just 2 months ago.

So far, their most popular gelato flavors have been hazelnut, pistachio, and the classics: chocolate and vanilla. For sorbet, strawberry is the winner.
 
Their most popular dips are dark chocolate and caramel chocolate (YUM right??).
 
Their most popular topping is crumbled waffle cone. Kia said it brings back childhood memories of eating out of waffle cones!

If you live in the Charlotte area, you HAVE to stop by their location on Saturday, January 14th for their grand opening party.
 
They’ll have music, photos, drink samples, and the chance to win free pops for a year! You’ll also be able to snag your own free pop that day between 12-3pm, or get 50% off a pop from 3-11pm. 
 
You can find them in NoDa at 3123 N Davidson St #102b.
