Nomad Ice Pops

Handcrafted pops with unique flavors that are healthy and delicious? Yes! A locally owned small business with an owner that cares? Yes! Custom orders, shipping and catering? Yes! We've had many custom orders of Nomad pops, sometimes a hundred at a time, but the problem is the disappear too quickly (dang kids). So good and worth a stop at the store if you are in the area!!

Note: This review is for my experience *PRE-COVID.* I don't know of many ice pop shops around here since it's very much an East Coast thing. East Coasters love their ice treats (Italian ice, anyone?), so this is a delicious needle in the haystack. Because of the texture, I was never a huge fan of ice pops or vegan "ice cream" until trying Nomad's pops. They have creamy, vegan pops that you can't tell aren't dairy. The myriad of choices are fantastic. My kids absolutely the flavors. As a cook and baker, I really appreciate the creativeness in the blends and offerings. I like that there are also seasonal flavors, so there's always something new to try. The open kitchen concept really shows you how clean the shop is because there is nothing and nowhere to hide when there's no production happening behind closed doors. You often see employees making and bagging the pops right in front of your eyes. I really like the catering service. The employees are always so nice and professional. I once ordered a large number of pops for my PTA event as well as had the ice pop cart there for another fundraiser and everyone loved it. They do have a few dairy options but vegan or dairy-free flavors are the majority and I highly recommend you try them, whether you just want to experiment with something new or if you have a hard time finding good dairy-free desserts. The flavors and dietary info are simply and cleverly engraved on the sticks in the display case (V=Vegan, DF=Dairy-free, NCS=No Cane Sugar, etc.). An added bonus for those with gluten allergies: ALL their pops are gluten-free! If you follow their Instagram @NomadIcePops, you'll see that they do fundraising a couple times a year where proceeds of sales will go to helping the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants and the planet. This is a great small business to support. Other great options Nomad offers are both custom flavors and custom sticks engraved with whatever you want, whether it's a birthday, baby shower or company party. Everyone is always happy and impressed to see Nomad Ice Pops at your event.

Quick, efficient and friendly, especially serving during Covid. We ordered the following in this visit: Pomelo & yuzu - light and refreshing! Orange cream - good but FYI no cream filling in the middle (in case you thought there was) Cantaloupe & Lychee - light but felt like Cantaloupe flavor overpowered lychee. Not as expected in the sense if you are looking for also a stronger lychee flavor.

These ice pops are so good. Real fruit and interesting flavor combos. Pink lemonade strawberry and the chocolate dipped pistachio are my favorites. Chilli and mango for some hot and cool. Watermelon is great too. 3 bucks and change but there is real fruit and great taste. You get discounts for multiple items. Most don't have dairy. In summer/fall they are also at various farmers markets.
