- Premium Ingredients: We use REAL ingredients! Only the finest and most high-quality ingredients go into every POP. Each ingredient is carefully selected to ensure superior taste, texture & quality in every bite.
- Handcrafted Fresh Daily: Each of our POPs is handcrafted in small batches, fresh, daily by our Executive Pastry Chef. This guarantees consistency in flavor, texture, as well as a unique touch that mass-produced desserts simply can't match.

Whether it's a large -scale corporate event, smaller private party, or gathering Food Trucks for a community Food Truck Rally, we are prepared to bring “handcrafted awesomeness” to YOU!.

Through our fun & interactive “3 Step Process”, you have the freedom to choose your favorite flavor POP, DIP, and TOPPINGs, allowing you to create a personalized treat that suits your mood.
- Diversity with Dietary Restrictions: We understand the importance of health-conscious choices, which is why we offer options to accommodate various dietary preferences and restrictions. Our POPs (and “3-Step Process”) can easily accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly dietary restrictions and preferences.

HipPOPs isn't just about dessert; it's about creating memorable moments through delicious, customizable treats made with care and quality ingredients.
What is gelato? Gelato Vs. Ice Cream
Gelato is like the richer, smoother, and more flavorful cousin of ice cream! Simply put, ice cream is made with heavy cream as its main ingredient, while gelato is crafted with skim milk and higher quality ingredients. This means gelato has less fat, making it a lighter, more refreshing treat that doesn’t leave you feeling sluggish. Not only is gelato healthier, but it also packs a bigger punch of flavor in every bite, making it a truly delightful dessert experience.
What’s the difference between Gelato and Sorbet?
Gelato is a dairy based dessert with a creamy texture.
Sorbet is a fruit-based dessert that is dairy-free, more light and refreshing.
What sized do HipPOPs come in? What’s the difference between a HipPOPs POP and a HipPOPs babyPOP?
HipPOPs babyPOPs are a smaller version/ size of the traditional HipPOPs POP. babyPOPs are a more bite sized option aimed for kids (4 and under) and those who want to experience multiple flavors.
babyPOPs are roughly 1/3 the size of the regular-sized POPs and come in only 4 (best-selling) flavors : Oreo gelato, Vanila Bean gelato, Strawberry sorbet and a Mango sorbet
(use an image for comparison)
Are your POPs made with natural ingredients?
YES! We have created a proprietary dairy base and pair that with only a handful of REAL and high-quality ingredients to use in every POP (REAL fruits, REAL Pistachios, REAL Vanilla Bean, the finest Amarena Cherries from Italy, etc… ).
Please refer to our Allergen Menu for specific ingredients -OR- call to answer any specific questions, comments or concerns

What are the most popular flavors?
- Oreo gelato is our best seller; because we use TONS of real Oreos, not a mixture of Vanilla.

We are VERY diligent in not cross contaminating any of our ingredients. From our creamery production methods (separate machinery and supplies to produce POPs containing nuts, ServeSafe protocols, and more…) to daily operating procedures.
