King of Pops

Atlanta


Humble beginnings involving a paleta-inspired travel dream launched in Central America, a used ice-cream pushcart and routine Twitter frenzies turned King of Pops into Atlanta's most sought-after dessert on a stick. Here at its BeltLine-adjacent HQ, small-batch ice pops in funky flavors like Thai Ice Tea, Coconut Chocolate Sea Salt and Sweet Tea n' Lemonade emerge from its walk-up window.

Expect a line.
