King Of Pops

The King of Pops cart is a seasonal thing. In other words, it's not here when it's cold and raining, and the hours vary from day to day. The best way to find it here is to come on a dry day in Summer. The employees (or as KoP calls them, Pop Slingers) are always really friendly and really seem to enjoy making people happy. Whether you prefer a juice based pop, or something a little more creamy, you're bound to find a pop here that will tickle your taste buds!

Let me tell you something these are the best Popsicles ever...that's right I said EVER. Forget your childhood favorite pop from the icecream man, those were petty treats compared to these delicious pops. Micheal Jackson would resurrect from the dead and declare these pops the Real King of Pops because they are! These are organic made Popsicles made from a variety of different custom made flavor combos that are unique and delicious. My all time favorite is Key Lime Pie! They have real graham cracker crust in them. I heard another great flavor which is extremely POPular is Banana pudding. This always ran out at my old job. I swear they sprinkle a little crack in each of their pops because I am so addicted. Just get one and be happy!

King of Pops has a cult following in Atlanta with good reason: excellent quality, unique flavors, and youthful, fun distribution. I love to see the King of Pops cart at city festivals and events, and happily purchase a $4 popsicle to support this brand! They have an impressive attention to detail and ability to customize the experience for their clients...at a recent Google CityExperts event, popsicle sticks were emblazoned with the hashtag #cityexperts, to the delight of guests.

Oh, man. I really like King of Pops. This is definitely the spot to stop by in ATL, but what's amazing is how consistent they are across lines. In Athens they're the same quality, same price. I even went to Shakey Knees, and where vendors there were charging an arm and a leg for a Budweiser, KoP kept their wares at $3. Right on, guys. Now, let's get to quality. I try not to have the same thing twice since they're all so good but the chocolate sea salt is my personal favorite. All the ingredients are locally and organically sourced and I heartell they pay fair wages and involve their employees in the whole of the business process.

I finally tried King of Pops a few weeks ago. I tried the Arnold Palmer flavor, which is my favorite drink to order at any restaurant, and it was uncanny how much the popsicle taste like a great Arnold Palmer (or 'Uptown' if you're at Gladys Knight Chicken and Waffles). I'm interested in trying more flavors from King of Pops!
