I was at this small ice cream/ice pop spot with a handful of others after going to the excellent Bong nearby. The staff since I was friendly and I tried a couple flavors before settling on two which were $8.50 with one scoop being $6 and three being $10 I believe with the scoop sizes being pretty big. In terms of ice cream texture, it's not as creamy as some other spots but I don't mind a thicker ice cream and the sorbet was not too icy which was definitely a plus. I went with one ice cream and one sorbet with those being the Sorrel Rum and the Soursop Ice Cream.
While I usually prefer ice cream pretty heavily over sorbets because of texture, I preferred the sorrel as it was strongly flavored and just outstanding. I love sorrel having had it multiple times because of my workplace and this was a excellent version with a bit of sourness but not too much and a bit of spice presumably from the rum or some other spices they use for the sorrel with both being likely. The soursop was a bit lighter but still had enough guanabana flavor to be unique (though without the texture of course) and I would still recommend it. I also tried someone else's Guava Cheesecake Ice Cream which I also liked and I was happy that it wasn't overly sweetened as many guava pastries/ treats are.
I would be very happy if this place opened up a location outside of Crown Heights as I liked the flavors a lot and it would be a nice spin on the general ice cream places usually located in Manhattan or the Asian ones popping up. I think LES would be perfect for instance but for now, there's definitely a possibility I would go back down here and get more of this if I'm going to be going back here for dinner or something similar.
Omg this place is super amazing .very friendly environment. First time here with my teen daughters and we love it we will keep returning to taste all the flavors. I totally recommend coming here
Nice little icecream shop.
- Friendly staff.
- Delicious light flavor.
- Varieties that you won't just anywhere.
Stopped by Island Pops today and had one scoop of grapenut and one scoop of Tropical Sundae. My husband and bestie had the soursop. 5 stars all around. Creamy, authentic tasting. Yum!!!
Best ice cream in crown heights!
Big up Khaled and Shelley on their 10th Anniversary of Island Pops! Thank you for all you’ve done to bring Caribbean treats and flavors to our Brooklyn community.
My favorites ice cream flavors will always be Guinness Caramel and Sour Sop!
Stop by and support Island Pops today!
They were nice to let you try as many flavors as you wish, but the ice cream itself tasted a little gummy. While the flavors are interesting but they are either too sweet or too creamy in my opinion. I ended up getting a pop instead and it was standard. Generally speaking I think it’s an ok spot and the staffs were pretty friendly.
Love this shop and the amazing ice cream they sell but the ladies behind the counter are inconsistent and it's a little pricey.
Tasty ice cream. Def will go back and try some of the flavors like Caramel Guiness and Guava Cheesecake. Yum!
FINALLY ‼️ I made it in ! I got 1 scoop of Cherry Blossom ice cream (amazing 🤤) and 1 scoop of the sorbet passion fruit (even better) and a pint of the Grapenut ice-cream.

Went looking for our spot with Aunty Gloria. Finally found it 2 stores down. The ice cream is always the same never disappoint its worth the trip from staten island. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Prices are a little on the pricy side but boy is the ice cream great! Amazing and unique flavors and perfect creamy texture. Super high quality.
Wish they used a gloved hand to get the ice cream cone
Really cute neighborhood Caribbean ice cream shop with ice cream, ice pops, cookies, and drinks, and merch! The guy who owns it with his wife is so nice. He said the shop is coming up on its 10 year anniversary, that’s an accomplishment! The flavors are nice. I got the Sour Sop ice pop which was a natural flavor and not too sweet, just how I like it. And my fiancé got the Grapenut ice cream, it tasted like cereal milk and we liked the crispiness and chewiness of the Grapenut. Would def be back to try other flavors!
The Ice cream was very mind blowing, phenomenal customer service the guy at the window went over the top 👍🏾
