The variety and taste of these pops were great! My husband and I had a great time getting a sneak peek at how these pops get made and taste some of their delicious flavors.
The avocado flavor was surprisingly delicious and creamy, while the bloody orange was refreshing and my husband's fave. We ended up getting the lime pop dusted with sea salt and the pop of the month, the horchata Mexican hot chocolate. Yum!
We will definitely be frequenting this location!
Steel City Pops is a must! I will say that the creamy pops are the way to go! Try a chocolate pop dipped in white chocolate, caramel drizzle and pistachios! Such a good combination! Also tried the hibiscus pop, which was so sweet and refreshing. The staff was super friendly and so helpful with combination ideas! Great for the whole family!
It's a new place with a new spin on "paletas." It's a "chain" business and not a run of the mill, mom and pop type of business. It can get pricey for "paletta/ice cream on a stick" desserts.
I paid a little over $20 for (5) paletta's, (3) plain and (2) dipped bars, on First Friday last week. (Check out my pictures.)
An avg ice cream "pop" plain, with no bells or whistles, is about $3.50 for a fruit or creamy bar, 4.50 for a "cookie" pop, with an additional $1.25 for the "drizzle or dredge" addition. (**don't forget to add taxes**)
Once you add the "dip covering" or "sprinkles" then your price starts rising up in cost.
I had the plain chocolate and it seemed sort of bland and tasteless, not chocolatey.
The coffee flavored one was tasty and my wife enjoyed it.
My son had the chocolate dipped vanilla bean and he said it was good.
Our teacher/friend had the coconut flavored one, it also had some coconut type shavings at the bottom, and she said it had some good flavor to it.
My daughter had the toasted marshmallow one, dipped in chocolate, and she enjoyed it. She said it tasted like a "smore."
After all is said and done, this place is gonna be an every other occasion, not weekly type of ice cream joint based on price/value alone. Good stuff though.
And you get a little cool bag for your "pops" with an ice "bag" for your to go pop!
