The Hyppo Artisian Ice Pops

I thought this place had closed when searching for it but it turns out that all they did was change their name. Now they are called «Pops» and have a cool little penguin as their logo.
I came after lunch on the way back to work and it was well worth the stop. I gotta strawberry cheesecake pop. I don’t know how, but they managed to get a rich creamy flavor into a vegan Popsicle which was unexpected.
Pops Popsicle shop, you can bust out your crayons and color me impressed.

I adore this spot. It’s tiny and hidden but it’s a gem. Crazy pop flavors (pb&j, Nutella, pineapple ale, Mexican hot chocolate, champagne mango) all are absolutely stellar.
The pb&j was peanut butter with a big strawberry in there. Super real.
The Mexican hot chocolate was one of the spiciest things I have ever tasted.
The pineapple ale was so refreshing (but bring your ID, you have to be of age for he ale part)
This place is a total hit, artisan pops sounds kind of cool. But it’s absolutely cooler than it sounds.
GO HERE.

I first discovered this chain on a weekend trip to St. Augustine. I was very excited to find one so close to my house. The location is great, the staff is friendly but like others have said the pops are a tad pricey.
On my first couple of trips I was lucky enough to pick flavors I really enjoyed. I have had a few trips though where I found my selection to be a touch underwhelming or outright weird.
This is a nice alternative to yogurt shops and a refreshing treat year round in Central Florida. Check this place out on your way to the farmers market or while strolling around the lake.

Ohhhh love this little spot in Downtown Orlando! We happened to swing by after Yoga in the Park and a stroll through the Sunday Farmers market.
They offer handcrafted popsicles in all sorts of crazy cool ingredients that you probably wouldn’t normally put together… but it works! I stayed on the safe side with orange chocolate which was refreshing since it was a fairly warm day. My friends had the coconut and opted for the chocolate dip for an additional $ 1.
The employee working was super friendly and very receptive to our questions about the products. And the place is dog friendly! There were customers walking in with their dogs and a water bowl outside for those walking by!
Parking is a little tough. You would have to park off street and hoof it… but it’s well worth it!

IT’S HEREEEEEE! Hyppo Artisan Ice Pops in Orlando — whoo!
I first tried these popsicles in St. Augustine and I promptly fell in love with them. So refreshingly crafted and so amazingly tasty! I’d eat one even if it fell on the floor. Haha.
For $ 3.50 a pop, you can try flavors like The Elvis (PB, banana, & honey), Black Pepper Cantaloupe, Watermelon Mint, and so many more! I’ve had the Strawberry Basil, Pistachio Coconut, and Watermelon Mint so far and they’ve each rocked my tastebuds. My favorite is the Strawberry Basil, but the creamy texture of the Pistachio Coconut and its mild flavor make it an addictive treat. I haven’t had these dipped in chocolate yet, but I can’t wait to try them when they are.
I love the location too. Right next to Lake Eola, it’s the perfect place to grab a treat and take a stroll around the park. Just be careful on hot days because they seem to melt extremely quickly. Lol.
Be sure to check out their website in 2014 — you’ll be able to buy them online and ship them straight to your door!

Tasty treats, but $ 3.50 is kind of expensive for a single ice pop. That being said, I would highly recommend trying the Elvis! It is a combo of banana, peanut butter, and honey. It is refreshing and delicious!
BTW, they also have an assortment of 21+ treats to try, so be sure to bring you ID. just in case ;)

I have been meaning to come here since this place opened, and just never get over this way from Apopka all that often. I had been hearing rumors of ice pops made with beer from Cigar City, and that had me all excited to finally get over here. I am a huge fan of ice pops in general, and this place really delivered. Great flavor choices abounded. I stuck with the more traditional dark chocolate with sea salt, and my wife went a bit more adventurous with the cranberry habanero. Both were great, but it was really neat to be eating a cold ice pop, and yet have your mouth burning by the habanero pepper.
Our son is allergic to dairy, and the guy working there was quick to know exactly which ones had milk and which did not. He even went the extra mile and went into the back to see if there might be some straggler flavors they didn’t have displayed. We sure were glad he did, because we ended up with apple pie flavor. This one was truly great, it literally tasted like you were biting into an apple pie, complete with pieces of apple peel in the ice pop.
I spent a good amount of time talking with the guy working there about future collaborations with Cigar City, and future flavors that come down the line. Needless to say, the next time they have a stout chocolate ice pop, I’ll be there waiting.

I was thrilled to see that a Hyppo had opened in Orlando — I had become addicted to these popsicles during a recent trip to St. Augustine, and was sad… St. Augustine isn’t exactly right up the street from me, so I wasn’t certain when I’d get to have them again. Orlando, on the other hand, is a much easier place to access from South Florida, so… score.
It’s a great concept, one I’m surprised hasn’t caught on in Florida to a much greater extent. I love the culinary-​inspired flavors. Pistachio and rosewater, I’m happy to report, is every bit as outstanding as it was up in St. Augustine. Out of all the flavors, that’s probably the best. Trust me, I’ve tried way too many of these. they all sound good, and they all are… but the pistachio/​rosewater takes the concept to an even higher level.
I also tried (yes, I had 2 pops in one visit) an excellent Jai Alai IPA Grapefruit popsicle. At the other locations, the alcohol-​based pops aren’t as amazing… tasty, but I feel they just use a reduction of the liquor, wine or beer… but here, they were ID’ing for this one, so I figured this was the real deal. It was… the Cigar City Jai Alai came through loud and clear, bolstering the grapefruit in the way only a good American IPA can. I could taste the beer, not just beer syrup with all the alcohol reduced out. Too bad that one was $ 5, which in my view is a bit much… it should be $ 3.50 like all the others.
Excellent addition to the fun Lake Eola neighborhood.

I stuck my nose up at this place initially because I usually crave the calorie-​laden taste of real ice cream or the ability to cram 16 oz of toppings on 2 oz of Froyo. But Alas! I have added the exotic tastes of Hyppo pops to my frozen indulgences. BOOM!
Trip #1: Had the peanut butter pie and opted to have it dipped in delicious chocolate which is the world’s greatest idea (I asked if I brought in bacon, would she dip it in chocolate for me. Jury is still out but I am still going to try).
Trip #2: Avocado Coconut: crazy-​ass flavor that was crazy good.
Trip #3: Mexican Hot Chocolate: spicy and chocolatey and delishy.
Try this place… now!

I love this place! Who would have ever thought popsicles could be so grown up yet fun and delicious. We got the coconut and peach and bourbon popsicle. Both were great not too sweet just perfect and satisfying. My favorite was the coconut popsicle it was light and creamy and just a perfect balance of coconut and sweetness. The only reason why on only giving them 4 stars vs. 5 is the price. They’re $ 4 each, that’s a little steep for a small popsicle but they were delicious so I’ll probably continue to buy from them just not all the time.

Located right in the middle of the Lake Eola district, the Hyppo offers a variety of flavors of their famous «Artisan Ice Pops.» Anyone who has been to St. Augustine has probably passed the original Hyppo, a cute little place always with a line. I am so excited to now have one of our very own in Orlando.
We have been there a few times now and the flavors rotate daily so there always seems to be a new flavor to try. Chad loves the Blueberry-​Pineapple pop with the tiny pieces of fruit in it.
My favorite is the Key Lime. From the tartness of a key lime to the sweetness of a graham cracker crust, this was a perfect piece of the famous pie on a stick.
Another favorite of mine is the Strawberry-​Basil pop. Pieces of basil really– pardon the pun– «pop» the flavor of fresh strawberries.
Chad also likes the Orange Cream– kind of like the old Creamsicle– only a little more grown up, a little more orange and a little less cream. Perfect.
There are so many other flavors to try– from the Elvis (peanut butter, banana and honey) to the Mango Habanero to the Pineapple Cilantro, they have all palates covered. No worries, they have more «normal» flavors too like Watermelon and Straight-​Up Strawberry.
AND…any of the pops can be dipped in chocolate… just saying…
At only $ 3.50 per ice pop, the Hyppo is a great place to grab a pop and take a walk around Lake Eola.

The. Best. Popsicle. In. The. World.
I wandered in here looking for a quick dessert while I was on vacation, and I left wishing I could take the whole place back to DC with me. In the course of two days, I was in there four times.
First, the flavors. The ingredients are fresh and vibrant, and the combinations are inspired. Pistachio rosewater? Hell yeah pistachio rosewater! Strawberry basil! Grapefruit mint!
As we all know, the worst thing about a popsicle is the consistency. It’s like biting into a frozen block of chalk, and who would want to do that? No one except for sociopaths, I think. Somehow, I assume using technology, Hyppo has solved this problem. Biting into a Hypposicle is far more pleasant than biting into a frozen block of chalk. What greater endorsement can I give than that?
The important thing about Hyppo is that everything they say about themselves is true. The ingredients, the science, the whole thing. They keep it real. Go get a popsicle, walk around that lake they got there, and get another one.

It’s getting hot out there and what better way to cool off then to get a delicious frozen treat. How about a gourmet popsicle? What madness is this?! It’s true, organic popsicles in downtown Orlando. Close to Lake Eola and underneath Post Parkside, you’ll find the Hyppo. Small little place but tons of flavors inside. The Hyppo has interesting flavors such as the Cucumber Lemon Mint or the Mexican Hot Chocolate. Some of the pops have dairy in it, which are labeled on the board. They are constantly rotating the selection here, so you’ll have plenty to chose from. The «Elvis» is a popular hit, it’s made with peanut butter, banana and honey.
The interior has mint chocolate green walls, two tables and seven chairs. Pretty small place, so it’s good to get a pop and walk around the neighborhood. The gourmet pops are flash frozen and the texture is soft yet firm.
The Pineapple Ginger was alright for me but not a favorite for me. The ginger was prevalent but not too strong. I thoroughly enjoyed the Pistachio Coconut. With the creamy coconut flavor and the tastiness of the pistachios, I was a happy camper. Neither overpowered one another, it was a nice delicate balance. The Champagne Mango was also another delightful treat. Just so you know, it doesn’t have any champagne in it. It’s actually a type of mango, Ataulfo mango. The name is a bit misleading especially when you see a flavor like Riesling Pear. The Riesling Pear pops are made from fresh pears blanched in a Riesling wine.
The Hyppo has cold brewed drip coffee which they get from Credo. It’s a fun process to watch.
The original location is in Saint Augustine and the pops brought over from there. Each pop is $ 3.50 including tax. You can get extra fancy and get it dipped in chocolate for an additional dollar.
The Hyppo is a wonderful addition to Orlando and I look forward to trying the other flavors!

I love the concept of artisan pops! Unique flavor combinations and ingredients sourced from local farmers is a bonus. But what I love most is that the pops, once created, are flash frozen to prevent «ice crystals» from forming, which to me is just a fancy way of saying «freezer burn». :) haha
Cute location and just off of Lake Eola if your up for a nice treat and an afternoon walk.
The peanut butter and pineaple mint pops were amazing, but the mexican hot chocolate was a bit to seasoned with cinamon for my liking.
Overall, a cute trendy spot that I hope sticks around :)

Decent popsicles with unique flavor pairings that you can’t find elsewhere. But is it worth going out of my way to pay $ 3.50 each? I don’t think so. It’s nothing that I would crave for. I would come back again if my friends decided to stop by. But other than that, I prefer other frozen treats to this. The flavors are very cool and different though so give it a shot. It’s just not my cup of tea.

Mmmmm! What a find! Thank you, fellow Unilocalers. After all the great reviews I had to try out this popsicle shop that uses fresh, seasonal ingredients. I have to admit, my first stop I wasn’t too impressed. I opted for the pistachio rosewater pop. I could barely taste the pistachio, but I could see all the chunks in there. It was more like a rosewater milk bar. On my second visit, they knocked the ball out of the park. I got spicy strawberry and my head nearly exploded from joy, the sweetness offset by the spicy bite was a perfect combo. My wife had the champagne mango and she also thought it was delicious. This is the king of place where you want to go back and try every flavor they offer. I think I will.
I shall return.

I went here for the first time a few weeks back. Unless I’m forgetting about it, I hadn’t heard about or of The Hyppo in St. Augustine, and I thought that this store was the one and only.
There are roughly 10 – 12 flavors from which to choose each day, it seems, and at least a few of them change on a daily basis. On the afternoon/​evening I stopped by, I tried two pops — the Elvis (banana and peanut butter, if I’m not mistaken) and the Key Lime Pie. Both were delicious. I’m not sure if this is the case with all of The Hyppo’s popsicles, but the two that I had were more creamy than icy. The popsicles at Peak Season Pops are more icy than creamy. I don’t prefer one style more than the other, really, but the popsicles at these two businesses are pretty different in style. Both are great, though.
When I was here, the employees who I talked with highly recommended The Hyppo’s coffee, but I didn’t try any during my visit. They said that it was very popular. I will stop by to try some the next time I’m in the area and if it’s late in the morning or early in the afternoon.
Each popsicle is $ 3.50, and you may want more than one (as I did), so bring some extra money. I found the prices to be a little bit higher than I was expecting, but that’s the price you/​we have to pay for really unique popsicles. A lot of the flavors here seem to be ones that aren’t available elsewhere, so spending the extra money for a unique treat likely is worth it.
Some other flavors the store recently has had: champagne-​mango, watermelon-​mint (I think?), Mexican hot chocolate, pineapple-​ginger, vanilla-​banana, pistachio-​coconut, sangria-​plum, strawberry-​basil, Riesling-​pear, Jackfruit, mango-​habanero, pistachio rosewater, Whiskey Jack (seriously! Haha!), spicy strawberry and even more. You get the idea — these are pretty imaginative and unique. If you’re as much of a popsicle aficionado as am I, multiple visits may be required to try many of these.
For updates, check The Hyppo’s FB page out at
— it seems that it’s updated frequently, if not daily, with the flavors available.
Also, I should say that the store was very clean and appeared to be well-​kept, although I will agree with Tom G. in that it probably could use a little more pizzazz.

Yum! The perfect snack for a hot day while you’re walking around beautiful Lake Eola. The popsicles here are all made with fresh fruit and flash frozen within 15 seconds of making them to avoid ice crystals. They are $ 3.50 a piece. The flavors here change daily, so I recommend liking them on Facebook if you want to find out which flavors they have before heading over there :)
I tried the champagne mango popsicle and it was delicious. The texture of the popsicle was the best part (aside from the flavor) because they’re soft which makes it easy to bite off pieces and they also don’t seem to melt all over you and hold their texture much better than those popsicles with all the syrup in them you get at grocery stores.
Other flavors they have in their rotation are strawberry, strawberry lemonade, orange cream, honey blue blue, pineapple papaya, key lime, coconut, pink grapefruit, vanilla banana, reisling pear… to name just a few.
It’s a small place with a couple tables and chairs inside if you want to take a load off and the people who work there are very nice and helpful if you need help finding the right flavor.

Strolled into this new spot last week and indulged on a Champagne Mango seasonal pop. I have to say, it was delightful. So these popsicles are not ordinary, they are «chef-​selected produce, whimsical combinations» for a delicious treat. The texture is not like your ordinary pop, they are not overly frozen as they are made fresh, they are no extremely hard so if you like to bite and chew, you can do that with these and they don’t melt all over.
Knowing this awesome company from St. Augustine was opening up shop right around the corner from Lake Eola, I was pumped! I have heard nothing but amazing things about their treats and the praise they receive is well deserved. The service was great and the shop is really cute. I wish them nothing but the best!
The location is perfect, Kelly H is on point. Grab a delightful treat for a sunny day and enjoy while walking around the lake. Be prepared for everyone to stop you and ask where you got the delicious looking item =)
You can shop online to keep some of these sweet treats at home and they have cute merch too! I can’t wait to try the Cucumber Lemon Mint, Orange Cream and Pineapple Cilantro!

So happy Hyppo is open in Orlando! I always visit when in St. Augustine. My favorite flavor is strawberry basil but pineapple cilantro is a close second. Unless you are one of these weirdos that thinks cilantro tastes like soap. No artificial ingredients or added sugar. They also indicate which flavors, if any, have dairy. Good selection of coffee and tea as well. Get a popsicle, walk around Lake Eola, stare at some swans – lovely Saturday.
Typically, my 3 year old and I share a popsicle because she can’t hold one herself and hates for her hands to get sticky. If your child is like that, consider sharing so you don’t find yourself throwing this gourmet delicacy out the car window after 25 minutes of screaming about «juicy» hands. I’m sure her future therapist will find a lot of gold in that story.
Oh, and you get free parking in the nearby garage for 20 minutes, which is plenty of time to get a popsicle.
