So many unique restaurants and desert shops opening this Fall! If it’s unseasonably warm you can cool off at Lil’ Pop Shop, who serves the most delectable popsicles in the city. Now you can grab some on South Street at their new location, 534 S. 4th Street. They have everything imaginable from Coconut Hibiscus to Red Chile Mango.
Owner Jeanne Chang grew up eating sticky fluorescent popsicles in Southern California and was trained as a pastry chef at the Culinary Institute of America. She’s on a mission to make the best-tasting, better-for-you ice pops that she wouldn’t hesitate feeding to her children.
Lil’ Pop Shop’s unique ice pops are hand-crafted in small batches from a seasonal assortment of fresh, natural, locally-sourced ingredients. No neon or artificial ingredients or dyes are used in the ice pops. They have 2 locations, 265 S. 44th St., in West Philly, 534 S 4th St., and a mobile cart.
