About Popbar
Popbar introduced handcrafted gelato on a stick to New York in 2010, founded by Reuben BenJehuda and Daniel Yaghoubi. All-natural ingredients, no preservatives, no artificial flavoring, no high-fructose corn syrup — gelato made in house in small batches, then dipped and topped to order. Popbar grew to locations across the United States, Canada and Portugal, and today serves NYC pickup and delivery, franchise stores in California and Portugal, and events nationwide.
