People’s Pops

Really good Popsicles. A bit pricy, but I think it’s worth the homemade treat. I had the blueberry lemonade pop, it was super refreshing and you can taste the bits of blueberry inside it. My daughter loved it as well, she kept wanting more.

Having been to their other locations, grabbed a blueberry roasted peach here but was underwhelmed. Regretting skipping the shave*d* ice for less and chocolate-​dipped strawberry (popbar-​esque) for more $.

Discovered this by chance walking on the High Line on a hot summer’s day. Don’t know if they have a regular stall here, but they did today. I had a delicious plum and rose flavoured ice lolly. The texture was perfect, none of the crystallisation that can sometimes happen with lollies. It was almost creamy, and the flavour was so beautifully tart and refreshing without being sour. A perfect balance! There were even chunks of plum in it! I loved it, will definitely be back for more and checking out other flavours.

Love the different unusual type of flavors that all work well together ! Very refreshing! Think 3.50 for this Popsicle is a little expensive for what it is. Got the strawberry basil and liked it a lot.

Lies, I’m a liar. We had it again, this time at Smorgasburg, and a cherry limeade flavor on that ice was bonkers delicious.

$ 3.50 felt very steep for what you get. Pops were fine. Not amazing. Honestly tasted like any standard natural juice/​fruit popsicle you could get at the grocery store, whole foods, or wherever.

There isn’t much to say about People’s Pops, it’s a simple and straight-​forward kinda business! They offer unique flavors of popsicles, and you’ll find them on Union St, a few blocks down at the Flea Market, at Smorgasburg, on the High Line. and they’re simply irresistible on a hot, sunny day!
I’ve tried a myriad of flavors up to now, usually in the strawberry genre. Strawberry lemongrass is the winner for me. Apple rosewater is a close second! I love the pieces of fruit in the popsicles!
The flavors change every time you visit them, so it’s a nice little surprise and encourages customers to be a little adventurous. ;)

Gotta love that apple rosewater pop on a hot day. The apple shavings inside just make it taste all the more real.

Rhubarb is always my favorite. This store front is close to home so I’ll give this 5 stars.

I had a fine Popsicle from them. Fruity but totally within the realm of the home cook. Also kind of bizarre that they are cash only.

J’ai essayé un bâtonnet glacé de People’s Pop sur le Brooklyn Flea Market, à Williamsburg, un dimanche ensoleillé.
3 parfums pour les «ice pops», je teste prunes jaunes rôties: Hummm, vraiment trop bon, j’ai l’impression de manger des prunes gorgées de soleil et cuites lentement, comme celles que fait ma mère, mais glacées!
Pas trop sucré, fruits locaux à point, quantité parfaite. Top.

Unique combinations of frozen juice and fruits.
This is a stand alone popsicle and frozen treat store. Don’t expect anything else. No frills man.
I particularly enjoyed a sour cherry peach frozen pop.
I also enjoyed that they were able to accomplish something a small costume jewelry store could not… break my Benjamin into smaller pieces!
Yea! perfect use of a few dollars for cooling off on a hot day!

If an iced coffee with cream and sugar popsicle isn’t a perfect way to beat the heat AND give you a lift on a hot summer’s day, what is?
My 3.5 year old son and I have tried People’s Pops on numerous occasions at the Brooklyn Flea and Shmorgasburg, but today was the first time I felt compelled to write down my thoughts. In fact, we’d intended to hit up PP at the ‘burg today, but the heat! And the long lines! Fuhgeddaboutit!
Good news: son & I were meeting Mama at the Coop (Dada had his shift at 3:30), so we stopped by the Union Street store, conveniently located on the same block as the Coop! He opted for the Blueberry/​Peach pop, and sucked the bloody life out of it. His little hand was aching so much, he needed to keep dipping it in a cup. As for my coffee concoction, well, that thing was gone before you could say «cold brewed.»
Only downside: $ 3.50 for a popsicle.

can’t beat a strawberry basil popsicle on a 97 degree day.

Hmmmm I haven’t had shaved ice like this one before. Usually shaved ice comes with a giant blob of ice and very little flavor. I usually get bored of them after eating the top layer because all the flavor has gone. But not here!
People’s Pops is a very simple storefront with like 4 seats and a pacman machine. The interior is very bland and their menu is limited. They have like 5 – 6 types of ice pops that are a mixture of interesting flavors, like peach basil, and rhubarb with something. I came here at like 10 at night so it was empty and naturally had fast service. And the lady was friendly as well.
I ordered a shaved ice with lemon basil flavor and it was delicious. The flavor was strong and soaked the whole cup of ice with no problem. Maybe she applied the juice generously at that time, but I’d rather have more than have less. It turned out to taste like a really refreshing slushie. I also had a bite of the raspberry popsicle (I forgot the name), and it was pretty good as well.
Be aware that popsicles do come out to $ 3.50 for one and $ 2.50 for shaved ice, which can be pretty pricey.

$ 3.50 for a popsicle I had the raspberry and rose. Delicious. They only got four stars because there was only one person working on a hot summer day.

Delicious popsicles. What makes them so delicious? The unusual flavor combos. I definitely recommend strawberry rhubarb! The generally have a limited selection, so be don’t have your heart set on a particular flavor before you go.
As for the Park Slope storefront, I’ve found it hard to stop in. I’m most frequently in need of a cool treat in the summer in the early AM after taking the pup to the park for off-​leash time or post-​run. Since they don’t open until noon, I can’t get my fix as often as I’d like. Still, an incredibly treat!

Very refreshing, natural flavors worth it to taste, perfect for a hot summer day.
I tried a rhubarb with chamomile — what a flavor!!! Tutti frutti a delicious was even better, a very berry treat. from a booth in East Village 7^th st & 1^st Ave. Service very nice and friendly. I will stop by again !
Didn’t know they have a store in Brooklyn.

Crowded, so I guess popular?
Seemingly no line system. People were sitting all around the counter blocking any access to the person behind the «register.» Fail move.
One flavor of ice today. Not sure if there’s always just one flavor but I don’t like the limits.
The server wasn’t very nice.
Not going back. Seen better. Had better.

Why hello Park Slope. You’re looking particularly grand today, what with the total absence of skyscrapers and plethora of three-​storied buildings. I like the Chinese laundromat next to the tea lounge with the drums next to an organic, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-​free French bakery. I still can’t believe, along with that snobby Manhattanite, the New York Times, that Brooklyn has officially become cool. Like, when did that happen? But who cares? It’s creeping closer and closer to 100 degrees and not much cooler in the shade and I want some damn popsicles. People’s Pops was empty on a Tuesday evening, though given that they just opened, that’s probably to be expected. The store’s set-​up is kind of interesting: giant mural wall as soon as you open the door, counter to your right. Pops were around $ 3, while a tiny cup of shaved ice was $ 2.50. Locally sourced ingredients and flavors, including Blackberry sour cherry (full of sour cherry which was hard to chew) and Peach basil. I wasn’t gaga for the blackberry sour cherry, but it cooled me off and, since it’s still so new, PP’s a nice place to chat and wait out this heat.

Awesome fresh pops!!!
