Seattle Pops — Restaurant in Seattle

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...

You'll see Seattle Pops at various events all over WA but I came into the shop for the full experience. The first flavor I tried at a farmers market was rhubarb but i wanted to come in for the colorfully decorated popsicles I'd seen photos of since they only have plain ones at events. You can get drizzles, sprinkles, nuts, it's a bit of a different experience coming into the shop but I would still try these at any pop up stand.

Their flavors are unique and never disappoint. Today we tried the strawberry lemonade and strawberry-basil popsicles. My husband thought my strawberry basil choice tasted like a salad but I loved the freshness of it. We added chocolate drizzles which harden up on top and look cute but honestly just crumble off with each bite. The taste was good though and I'm glad to have finally come into the shop. It was super cold inside and bench seating outside is the perfect hangout...

I had not yet visited Seattle Pops' Wallingford location and was glad I finally did. The location is housed in a pretty new building. I visited at night and saw how brightly lit the store is. It has a lot of seating indoors and outdoors. I also like the color accents on the chairs and tables inside the store. I visited around 8pm on a Thursday night so it there was only one other group of customers. As I ate my popsicle a steady stream of customers came and went. I ended up choosing the creamy marionberry popsicle. I love marionberries and I could tell that popsicle was chalk-full of the marionberries. It was tart and sweet with some creamy notes - a tried and true combination. The person running the counter was nice and was very helpful with any questions as well. I enjoyed the popsicle and hope to...
