    Kids Single Scoop - Cookies & Cream, cotton candy and strawberry cheesecake
    Michelle H.

    Pops is the best ice cream place I have been to by far. It is one spot in downtown Saint Cloud that my children and I love going to grab ice cream. The atmosphere is fun but relaxing, the staff are nice and the service is great! They take their time but also make sure you're not waiting long. If you decide to take a seat at the table, they will bring your ice cream to you. I will always go to pops for a sweet treat!

    We recently were in the area and decided to stop in for a sweet treat! They have a decent sized menu full of a variety of ice cream based items! All of the workers were friendly and helpful as well. Overall we all enjoyed our ice cream and would consider coming back again!

    Adorable little ice cream shop in downtown St. Cloud that also has waffles! Staff were friendly! Appreciated the dairy free options. I got the raspberry sorbet. My friend got orange sherbet. Would love to see another dairy free option that is creamy! Loved the waffle decor & all of the interior decoration. We took lots of pictures with our little ones. Will definitely be back.

    It's so nice to have a local family owned ice cream ship that offers delicious ice cream and treats and a cute and fun ambiance! The service was wonderful and were welcomed warmly. Prices are also incredibly reasonable for a small shop! We can't wait to come back!

    Birthday cake ice cream waffle cone
    Erika M.

    Ok, let me start by saying I am lactose intolerant so I only eat dairy if it is really worth it. Pop's is 1000% worth it. The flavors are so much better than the run of the mill ice cream shop or what you can buy at the grocery store. I had both the birthday cake and the salted caramel truffle. Usually when I have salted caramel anything I cannot taste the salt and this time I could. It really balanced out the ice cream and the little truffle bits were such a delightful textural and tasty element. I am a huge fan of birthday cake ice cream and Pop's is now my favorite birthday cake ice cream. It was so creamy and cake-y, I would eat it without a lactaid and be fine with my consequences. My companion had a build your own sundae which is placed on top of a freshly made waffle and you can get up to four toppings without incurring extra fees. That's pretty generous in my opinion. It was pretty tasty from the bite I stole. The interior is so adorable and everything you want from an ice cream parlor. It was like walking into a hallmark channel movie.

Everything was really flavorful, filling, and worth trying. My only small complaint with the food is that you can't mix and match the tacos, which would be nice since they have some fun options. The restaurant itself has a bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and a very nice modern style. The staff was friendly and seemed to be trying their best to keep up with how busy and hectic the restaurant gets. I took off a star because the air conditioning is definitely an issue, which made the experience less enjoyable, especially in this Florida heat. This isn't my first time here, and every visit seems to come with a wait. They also seem to be short-staffed most of the time, so service can feel a little stretched. I would say it's on the pricey side, but the food is worth it in the end. With better staffing and some cooling in the dining area, the overall experience would match the quality of the food so much better. With that being said, I'll definitely be back, but probably on a day when it's nice and cool!

Everyone talks about their pies here and yes they are fantastic and you can often get less common pies that you would not find in your local grocery store. Think Rhubarb, Lemon Marange, French Silk or even a pumpkin pie in May. Service was fine and the food was excellent. Standard diner rules so you can have breakfast anytime you would like. We ordered club sandwich and biscuits and gravy that came out quickly and disappeared from our plate in short order. I will certainly be back as they offer daily specials and take note that if you are a veteran they also have a special for you as well.

We happen to stumble upon Jimmy Bears BBQ and are glad we had the opportunity to try it! We came on a Friday night around 6pm, expecting the restaurant to be packed but as we walked in we quickly realized we were the only patrons there. During our time there we never saw anyone else come in either. We ordered our food to-go, and it came out relatively quickly! We felt the price was on par with similar restaurants, and very fair for the amount of food you received The food itself was overall decent. There were some items that we really enjoyed, like the Mac and cheese, three blind mice sandwich, and the Alabama white sauce!! Other items like the green beans or pulled brisket left us wanting more. The green beans did not taste fresh, and the brisket lacked seasoning/flavor. There were also a lot of fried elements like the tater tots, onion rings or even the mozzarella sticks on the three blind mice sandwich, which we feel like were all decent and not too greasy, but also know those are easy things to make regardless of where you're at! The staff was very friendly at the restaurant! They were available if we had questions, and got our food out quickly to us. The ambiance of the restaurant was a little out of date and worn. You could definitely tell this establishment/building has been here for awhile with little to no updates over the years. A few updates to the space I think would really transform it and make it look like it belongs in 2023 not 1993. We do see ourselves coming back in the future, as we saw a few other menu items we are curious about trying!
