Awesome treats and welcoming environment! My husband and I stopped in to pick up treats for ourselves and deliver some to family. We were welcomed by the owner who was incredibly friendly and took the time to chat with us during our visit. Our family LOVED the popsicles and ice cream sandwiches we delivered to them! Very delicious. We will definitely be back to visit soon.

Amazing, quite frankly worth a 30 minute drive if your local to this area. The soft custard was on point and extremely creamy. The Oreo mint waffle cone was very well done. The owner explained to us that she makes a very concerted effort that throughout the entirety of any of her soft serve cones that she puts the sauces and toppings into the cone before she puts the soft serve in. Then additionally adds toppings and sauce to the cone as well. Then we have to talk about her ice cream popsicles, these quite frankly are an amazing concept and are sort of a one of the kind experience for anything ice cream related I've ever tried. They are flash frozen ice cream popsicles. So absolutely no ice crystals are formed in them. They have an extremely unique texture to them and it's very very good. The owner will tell you and I will tell you that if you want to try any of these, get the creme brulee ice cream popsicle. The popsicle has perfectly salted and Rich caramel on the inside and it pairs amazingly with the rich vanilla ice cream on the oitside.

Celebrating small business week, decided to try Pop Culture CLE. It is a small but friendly gourmet ice cream shop. The young lady behind the counter was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations. The presentation of my choice was great, and taste even better. I would recommend this spot for families, dates or if you just want something beautiful, different and tasty. Oh and the prices are reasonable.

I did the make your own ice cream experience and it was sooo much fun! And we got a ton of ice cream to take home not only that but the vegan options were amazing! Normally places only have like 2 choices but not here they have over 20! And they are so creamy as someone who is allergic to dairy I have a huge appreciation for this shop! I was also told they can make vegan ice cream cakes I’m definitely getting one of those soon lol

So glad we got to experience this place for an elite Yelp event! We never heard of this place before and was very impressed at how many options they had for sweet treats. We took a long time to decide but finally were able to pick a waffle and ice cream. Both had lots of toppings and definitely satisfied our sweet cravings. The only thing we noticed is the vegan ice cream had a weird texture but at least it tasted good. The person working was so nice and helpful with any questions we had. The vibe was clean, bright and colorful. It’s a great place for a kids birthday party since they have lots of room upstairs as well. It’s a great place if you’re looking for a big selection of dessert options!

So worth the drive for many reasons: 1. Handmade on site, with quality ingredients 2. If you are dairy or GF or vegan- you will have your choice from a large selection, it's rare that my husband and daughter can pick from a menu this extensive with all the flavors and options. 3. Fun space with great artwork, and very clean! 4. Plenty of seating indoors and out 5. Best customer experience we've had in a long time. Shout out to Claire who took the time to walk us through the menu, point out favorites, explain the products. We ended up buying some to take home in a freezer bag they had and she kept them in the cooler until we left. 6. You can see the care and fun that is in these products- I got the creme brulee bar and they toasted it- very cool! PS- Google should let us leave a 10 star review, because Pop Culture earned it!

Had a great experience at Pop Culture! Such an adorable and cute place to enjoy one of their sweet and delicious treats either inside or on their cute outside terrace filled with colorful chairs and tables that I loved! We had their Nutella and banana crepes with whipped cream, they were outstanding! We also tried their Oreo cake balls and one with walnuts and cinnamon that were delicious and super filling. Finally, their crème brûlée popsicle was soooooo good, very different from any other popsicle you have ever tried and they have so many varieties and flavors to choose from! Even plenty of vegan options! The service was outstanding and the owner was extremely nice with us explaining us and showing us the business. Such an amazing experience, can’t wait to go back!!
