"On sweltering Detroit summer afternoons this family-run parlor fills with people seeking cool refuge: millennials gulp aguas frescas, hijab-wearing teens pile toppings onto ice cream sundaes, and Chicana moms and abuelas help children choose paletas. Run by members of the Gutiérrez family who work behind the counter from tween to middle-aged, the shop makes hundreds of paletas each morning, ranging from small chocolate-dipped kid-friendly pops to hefty, bullet-shaped specialties filled with goat’s milk caramel (cajeta). Open only during the summer because of harsh Midwest winters, the seasonal spot functions as a neighborhood institution where traditional Mexican frozen treats are a central part of community life." - Serena Maria Daniels
