People's Pops
People's Pops
Fresh, Local Popsicles & Shave Ice
Where to Buy : Chelsea Market and Brooklyn Flea (only in NY and only when it is Sunny)
Founders : Joel Horowitz, David Carrell, & Nathalie Jordi
These three got together and started a one-day experiment after they decided that the world needed a better Popsicle...
Goal : to showcase (seasonally) the best local fruit they can get their hands on
They started three summers ago making 300 popsicles a week and selling them for $3.50 each. Now they make close to 1,200 a week and they are continually pushing the output limit.
Fancy Fact : Martha Stewart loves their Pops
They change their flavors often but here are some of their past concoctions:
- Watermelon Basil
- Blackberries and Cream
- Peach Chamomile and Honey
- Strawberry with a touch of Rhubarb
- Roasted Apricot and Lavendar
- Sweet Cream Corn and Blackberry
- Cherry and Lemon
- Blueberries with Black Tea
- Watermelon Cucumber
- Sugar Plum and Mint
They are hoping that one day their product will be available in Whole Foods but for now they work out of a Coney Island Kitchen and transport their goods in a used van they bought on Craigslist.
