I have a new love. I cannot stop thinking
about this new love. I hope I can stop because it could have devastating
effects on my future as a person. What is this new love? It is Le pops. Wow is
all I can say. It was love at first lick. Le pops is this amazing gourmet iced
lollies (that’s how they describe themselves) shop located in one of my
favorite places in Little Rock, Kavanaugh Street. It is too conveniently
located to my house which is not helping my addiction.
I had heard great things about this place but
have avoided it until almost two weeks ago. I picked up princess from
orientation and wanted to treat her and me for making it past the unofficial
first day of high school. It was a stressful day for both of us, so we needed a
reward. We are both adventurous and like to try new things, so we caved. We
went in Lepops and I loved it from the start. It is simple, yet fun on the
inside. There are places to sit inside and benches on the outside when it gets
cool enough to sit outside. The beautiful, yummy iced lollies were right there
displayed in all their yumminess. They have fruit flavors, like Lavender and
Lemon, traditional flavors, waffle cones and chocolates and accessories you can
dip your iced lolly in, and you know how much I love my accessories. The iced
lollies are handmade using locally grown produce and herbs. The coffee is
Rozark coffee in Rosebud, Arkansas, Callebaut Belgian chocolates and pure cane
sugar. I love a store that uses local when possible. Princess chose vanilla
dipped in milk chocolate. Yes, it is drool worthy. I chose Mocha Madness, in
its pureness without any dips or accessories. The first lick/bite to the last
lick/bite was beautiful. The flavors are ridiculous. Unlike I have ever tasted.
It was so fresh and pure. I had to grab
a bite of the vanilla dipped in chocolate and I enjoyed it so much I went back
two days later and got the exact same thing. I did not go back the next day because
I could not fit it in! I introduced hubby to them a few days later (he had an
orange lolly dipped in dark chocolate) and then we went back again last Friday
before heading out of town. So if you are keeping track that is 4 times in two
weeks. Told you I loved them. They are reasonably priced. It is $7.10 (yes, it’s
memorized) for two iced lollies. What a bargain! They even have a punch card!
And I love a punch card. Oh! I forgot to tell you how they are served! With a
smile, efficiency and with a cute little cupcake wrapper on the bottom to catch
your drips! How great is that! Am I
going today? That would be yes. It is has been a whole 3 days since I have been
and I am sure they miss me. Go visit Le pops (www.lepops.com) on 5501 Kavanaugh
in Little Rock. You will not be disappointed.
