Super safe to go to right now, ordered right at the door. The choc brownie pop was so creamy and the Vietnamese coffee tasted like the real thing! Yum! Very refreshing! Great service. Super quick to pick up a pop and eat while you walk around town.

The vegan pops are good and especially nice under hot and humid weather. But they have the most underwhelming teenagers at the front who are unable to welcome you to the shop, make any suggestions or even say "enjoy your pop".

They had a little stand set up in the open doorway and I was able to pay with Venmo, which was convenient! I got the brown sugar milk tea mochi pop and it was delicious and creamy and had a great milk tea flavor... but it only had one lil mochi piece in the whole thing :( and the pop is a little small for $4 imo..

Top quality popsicles; a bit expensive but well worth it. I recommend the Garden Mint Chocolate (has that taste of real fresh mint, not artificial peppermint or something). Plus, you can order them online and pick them up.

I love this cute shop, it's a shame that they aren't selling pies during the pandemic. I came here the weekend before the city shut down for COVID and I'm glad I did. It was Pi day, and I figured, why not go to a place that specializes in only Pie and Pops, awesome! I had the peanut butter chocolate pie and when I say to die for, I mean it! Perfect balance of chocolate and peanut and we all know pie isn't great if the crust is bad, don't worry, this place does it right, flakey and buttery. On to the raspberry lime popsicle, perfect tartness and sweetness, and very refreshing. Can't wait to return.

Love their Popsicles. Strawberry rhubarb is so good. Perfect treat while walking the city.

Such a cute shop and liked the coconut hibiscus pop. So refreshing after a nice dinner at The Love. Loved the plant store that was connected to the shop. Got some air plants too.

Specifically writing this review based on the popsicle I had, but hope to check back in one day to try more of their offerings. Everything about this place is absolutely adorable; I'm such a fan of the aesthetic. It's actually quite spacious for a "lil' pop shop." I had excellent service from the guy working, who was so patient and helpful with selecting which flavor I wanted to try (I'm insanely indecisive). I settled for the rose lemonade, and it was really nice and refreshing! My favorite part about it is that it wasn't heavy lemonade (not even a fan of lemonade, really). It was so impressively balanced in flavor, and I can only imagine how amazing everything else is. They have both dairy and non-dairy flavors, and everything sounds unique and enticing. I definitely recommend for a perfectly sweetened and fresh-tasting treat if you're in the area. It makes for the perfect food-in-hand as you're walking through Rittenhouse Square (and even for the cutest popsicle IG post).

Love it it’s really cute boutique for ice cream pops

I love popsicles, and Lil Pop Shop was a perfect place to stop on our trip to Philadelphia. We liked it so much that we went twice during our short stay and tried a bunch of their non-dairy pop flavors. My favorites were the mango passion fruit, which tasted just like eating the ripe, juicy fruits themselves, and the rose lemonade. Also got to try the rosewater cherry pie, which was delicious. A little on the expensive side for treats, but the quality was excellent, so we definitely thought it was worth it.
Picked up a cranberry orange pie with merengue here for Thanksgiving and was SO impressed. The flavors were striking and unique without being overwhelming (not too sweet, not too sour). The gluten free almond crust had an amazing texture. Will definitely be coming back for any pie needs if I'm in Philly! Also had the pumpkin cheesecake cookies - perfect soft chewy texture, flavorful, but not too sweet. Love the balance in the flavors they're able to achieve.

Holy popsicle! I've been a huge fan of this place for years. Unfortunately, I'm not local. Anytime I'm in town, I make it a priority to stop by. They used to specialise in just popsicles. Now they're selling pies. You know those popsicles that melt as soon as you touch them? These don't do that. They're delicious, anytime of year. The shop is super cute, especially with the lemon wallpaper. They offer both milky/creamy and non-milky flavours. You can't go wrong with any of them

The shop has a modern touch on the inside, brightly lot and inviting. Cycling through different options of freshly made specialty popsicles, the various unique flavors really hit the spot on a hot summer day. While it's a more costly option for popsicles, I think that it's a pretty well crafted dessert and the taste in of itself is worth the trip once in a while. Looking forward to the sunny days!

If I could give zero stars, I would have. Let me start by saying that it's a cute little place, but when I see the word Cafe, I expect to be able to get a cup of coffee and maybe sit down. This was not the case. We arrived at 9:20 and the store hours list that they are open until 10. We tried to order some coffee, but were told that everything was "soaking because they are closing soon." In my opinion, 40 minutes is more than enough time to drink a cup of coffee. Perhaps if they intend to be out the door at 10, then they should list their closing time as 9:30. My friends decided to order a piece of pie and the employee asked if it was to stay or go before she reiterated that they are closing soon. We looked for a seat, but there wasn't much to choose from. There was a bench with a small table up the stairs which happened to be occupied. In front of the register there are two window seats, but no tables where this couple could share a piece of pie, so they stood in front of the register. All in all, this wasn't a pleasant experience and although the employee's words were polite, her tone was certainly not. We left there feeling that our business was not only not wanted, it was an inconvenience.

We got popsicles for dessert for our recent brunch wedding. Ordering was easy and they even delivered the popsicles to our venue. They were a huge hit and so delicious! I would definitely recommend having popsicles at your wedding!
