It's been a while since I last visited this little gem. I was finishing up an evening walk and had worked up a healthy appetite. Rounding the corner to Memorial Ave, I walked by the front window and locked eyes with Steve, the owner. The thought instantly hit that I needed an Alpine grilled cheese and a lemonade to cap off my day. It was a great meal and getting to see Steve is always a pleasure. Pop's always makes my belly happy!

this establishment reeks of body odor as soon as you walk in!! could hardly take the smell but I paid for parking. I was racially profiled my whole visit to this establishment I guess it isn’t a place for poc to be at regularly unless you like to be stared at like you’re stealing knowing they make you pay as soon you walk in BUT didn’t appreciate that AND the lady put her finger on my ice cream. I wouldn’t recommend ?my root beer float was nasty also

We just recently moved to the area and heard great things about Pops. I decided to take my three children and my friends three kids for ice cream and must say we were very disappointed ? Two girls got the lemonades instead of ice cream and they said they were so sweet and threw them out after a sip.... The ice cream was okay nothing to brag about.The smell of mold was horrible inside we had to take our stuff to go!! The only good thing was the service was decent.

My daughters & I were out in Roanoke. We decided we would stop for ice cream on our way back home. Pop’s was suggested to us by a employee of another place we were at. It did not disappoint. The ice cream was delicious, the shop was super cute & had a nice vibe. We were greeted as soon as we came in & all employees were super friendly. Prices were great for what we got as well. We’ll be returning in the future!

Really old classic vibes which I love! I've always gone to this place for there classic desserts which are incredible. There soups are fantastic and some of there sandwiches are a hit-and/or-miss. But I primarily come here for desserts anyway.

I love bringing new people to this place. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. The grilled cheeses are delicious and I have fun coming up with new ice cream float combinations.

The old school feel of this place really takes you back a few years which makes the ice cream and customizable floats even better!

A Roanoke staple, and must do in the Grandin area. I found the new owners to be contemporary yet staying within the tradition of Pop's.Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream parlor a true natural to a child friendly atmosphere
