My whole perception on popsicles has completely changed because of these amazing pops. I remember Seattle Pops having a little pop-up booth at the summer Seafood Parade a few years ago, and we got some popsicles, and I couldn't forget how good they were.
Who knew that popsicles could be elevated or even kind of "gourmet." I love how they use all natural, fresh AND local ingredients, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients in each popsicle, and man, every bite is an explosion of flavor! When we stopped by, we got a lilikoi (passion fruit), guava, kona coffee, cookies + cream, and a chocolate fudge pop. We also got some zesty limes and guavas for the house.
My favorite popsicle was a close race between the zesty lime, and the chocolate fudge. The zesty lime has such vibrant and bold flavors, and each bite is super refreshing and bursting with lime. Then, the chocolate fudge is light, but also super rich and fudgey. However, my favorite part of all these popsicles, and part of why I love them so much is actually the texture. All of the fruity pops have this texture that is kind of hard to explain, but it just isn't like a normal popsicle. The texture is simple yet complex in a way that makes the popsicle even more enjoyable but still has the essence of a traditional popsicle from the store. But jeez, I can not get over the textures from the creamy popsicles like the chocolate fudge and cookies + cream. Now, that is probably the tie breaker between the fruity pops. The texture on the creamy pops is so mesmerizing, and you need to experience it to understand. But the texture is so luscious, and luxurious. It's not exactly like butter, but it sure does melt in your mouth and breaks off when you bite as if it is. But for real, the texture is my favorite part of the chocolate fudge popsicles, it's just so satisfying.
I love everything about these "gourmet" pops, I even love the popsicle sticks themselves. Everything is super refreshing, and hoping that I can stop by this place more frequently with summer around the corner!
