About Fifth Street Gourmet Popsicles
Fifth Street Gourmet Popsicles & Treats is the sweet realization of a dream rooted in rich Michoacán traditions. Our shop brings the vibrant spirit of Mexican paletas to Bellaire, with each gourmet popsicle and handcrafted treat lovingly made from real, natural ingredients. Inspired by the owner’s cultural heritage, our menu features everything from refreshing fruit-based paletas to indulgent chocolate creations, along with savory street-style snacks—warm churros, cheesy elote, bubble waffles and fresh-squeezed juices—designed to delight the whole family. Whether you’re stopping by the shop or inviting us to bring our artisanal popsicle cart to your event, we’re passionate about sharing pieces of our culture and spreading joy, one delicious, handcrafted treat at a time .

We first began getting started in 2022 and opened our official store about one year ago. Every since our store we have began expanding our menu and event adding summer event for kids. During the month of June and July we are doing summer junior chef workshops for kids.
What inspired you to start your business?
Fifth Street Gourmet Popsicles & Treats was born from a passion for sharing culture, creating joy, and giving back to the community. Inspired by the vibrant traditions of Michoacán, our founder set out to bring a taste of home to Bellaire—offering handcrafted paletas and street-style treats made with real, natural ingredients. What started as a dream quickly grew into a mission: to create a space where families could gather, celebrate, and enjoy something special together. More than just a dessert shop, we aim to be a positive part of our neighborhood—supporting local events, partnering with schools, and offering our mobile cart for parties and community gatherings. Every treat we serve is a small way of building connection, culture, and community—one delicious bite at a time.
What is your favorite thing to make/produce?
Our Favorite thing to make is our Popsicles of course ! We have a variety of flavors and each day we are coming up with new combinations. We have watermelon and chamoy which is a huge hit especially in this Houston Heat. Watermelon and chamoy is the perfect sweet and tangy combination. Next we have the waffle cone popsicle which includes bits of waffle cone in the popsicle mixture. Other favorites include strawberry, lime, mango, vanilla and chocolate. Aside from the popsicles, you also have the choice to add toppings to your popsicle like cookie crumbles, chocolate syrup, sour candy etc.

I am from Mexico and grew up here in Houston, Texas.
