    Whatever* you want, I swear that Whatever Pops will have it.. If you want a refreshing sweet treat, they have it all- açaí bowls, smoothies, milkshakes, grilled cheese, waffle on a stick, handmade popsicles, coffee, do you get my gist? Don’t “whatever” me on this review, because I am so serious. This place is wholly amazing. It’s quirky and full of personality, and holds one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had to date. I take my açaí pretty darn seriously, and I don’t give out compliments like that lightly. But this was so FRESH, so bursting with flavor and just perfect. I wish I lived closer so that I could stop by at least several times a week just for the bowls. The grilled cheese was fantastic too- again, just so fresh and real and setting the standard for how a grilled cheese should be. The coffee was okay, and I was so tempted to try literally everything on the menu. Waffle on a stick? Come onnnn. Whatever man, I am certainly coming back for more!!

    A really nice shop that has really good smoothies, shakes, acai bowls and more 👍👍. They also have punch cards and a military discount. The avian bowls are really good, you can choose different toppings and "boosters" but they really should be bigger for the price. We will be back to try more soon

    My family and I love this store. The food is great and they have unique options. The better with bacon grilled cheese is my favorite. They’re shakes, smoothies and açaí bowls are amazing too! They need to expand in the Tampa Bay area. Highly recommend it!

    Great place for an acai bowl with delicious toppings. They also have frozen pop bars and home made gelato. We had the acai bowls, grilled cheese sandwiches and cappuccino. Everything is freshly made so there may be a small wait especially Of its busy. Cool modern decor and friendly service. #whateverpops #icepopempire

    Ordered 2 smoothies and it took over 35 minutes to get them? Understand it was busy, but people coming in after us with bigger orders were receiving theirs before us. Won't be back. Smoothies were fine but pretty expensive.

    This was delicious and I can't believe we live only 5 minutes from here. Grilled cheese, waffle on a stick and a milkshake? Sign me up for comfort food, hello! Super cute place that's inviting and makes me linger and order more yummy stuff.

    Really fun place great snacks and light meals. While we where there we saw three really well behaved dogs. One was huge. Great coffee and gelato. Everyone in the store is friendly and many customers interact like in a small community place. No stress just fun.

    This review is for the location @ Sparkman Wharf (not on Google maps)... Location super cute & the staff are pretty friendly (although a bit aloof). I ordered the Açaí bowl but the staff told me it was bitter & I probably wouldn’t like it - persuading me to get the Açaí blended with fruit. I should have stuck with my original order as the açaí blended with strawberries & mango with the fruit, granola & honey was too sweet for my friend & myself.

    5 stars in the context of what it is. Great açaí bowls, great smoothies, friendly service, and cute spot. Little bit pricey but I’ll let ‘em have the start anyhow; everything’s expensive these days; just, $10 for a smoothie kinda hurts.

    I’ve been coming to whatever pops since it’s opening when I was in high school and would stop by religiously as I grew up down the street. Decently limited menu but such a fun little place and don’t underestimate their grilled cheese even though they’re a dessert shop!

  • 5/5 Patrick G. 1 year ago on Google
    The best acai bowl in Tampa that I have found. Very customizable. The popsicles are also good.

  • 4/5 Phillip K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is really a 4.5 rating. The food and acai are great, staff is great. Recent price increases deter us from coming as often as we used to. Now this is more of a treat for occasions.

  • 4/5 Mr.winston 4. 2 years ago on Google
    Really like their Acai bowls and chip selection. Wish they had better options for dairy-free ice cream. Workers are kind and the store is kept clean. Very cozy establishment.

    Refreshing açaí bowls and yummy grilled cheese sandwiches. The ice pops are good, too. The dining area is always clean.

  • 5/5 Darryl W. 8 months ago on Google
    We stopped by after a hot visit to the Tampa zoo. We had an Açaí bowl. All I could say is refreshing. Not too sweet or tart. Just right. We got the Almond Cacao bowl.

    This place is known for their gourmet ice pops. I really like the shakes. So many unique flavors of ice cream love it. My dad loves the ice pops.

  • 5/5 Ethan C. 9 months ago on Google
    This local shop has a lot, ranging from açaí bowls, to shakes, to smoothies, and of course popsicles. But within each of these categories are even more choices, they have a dozen or so flavors of popsicles, multiple açaí and pitaya (dragon fruit) bowl varieties, and like seven different smoothies and shakes. While you're there though, you gotta try the grilled cheese, it's made right there in front of you and comes with a house-made sauce. Even with all this, it's not insanely expensive, with portions to match the prices. Definitely check this place out whenever you can!

    This is my go-to spot whenever I want to treat myself! Coming here always makes my day better. It’s a sweet little spot in the neighborhood, and the staff (or “popmeisters” as I call them) are always very friendly. I could drink their spirulina matcha smoothie morning, day, and night and I would still crave it. It’s DELISH.

    Super cute spot, updated, inviting with great music and friendly staff. We got the almond cacao acai bowls and they were delicious!
