Nomad Ice Pops is celebrating Pride Month with delicious rainbow lemonade pops! They are also donating half of the proceeds of these yummy rainbow pops to the LA LBGTQ Center.Parking was easy breezy, I stopped by half an hour before they closed and got my Rainbow Pop with ease. The cashier was super friendly, and gave me my Pop with a smile! I took my obligatory food photos, and decided to take a walk while munching on my rainbow pop.The first layer was strawberry, then pineapple. Lime was third, which happened to be husbands favorite, lemonade was the fourth layer, and the last I believe was blueberry flavored! I really enjoyed the rainbow pop, and since its my first time at the shop, I dont know if its a normal menu item or not. But it should be! It was really fun to eat, and it was cool how you got to taste each layer like a sampler pop!Love how fresh their popsicles taste, it feels so fresh and fruity. I will be back in the summer for more fruity pops~!
I tried their rainbow pop and it was nice and refreshing but I have to say that some flavors were a little tart for my liking. I do want to go back to try some of their other flavors. You can see fruit fibers in some of their popsicles so you know they use real ingredients.
Vegan options + Fur baby friendly?? Say less... Love this place. I got a vanilla/blueberry popsicle that was so yummy I didnt realize I had evidence of it on my face all day till I got home. Lol. My pup was so obsessed with the pupsicles that we couldnt leave without taking extra for home 😋 Staff was extremely patient with my indecisive a$$..10/10 would go again.
The perfect treat on a warm day! So many wonderful flavors to try on any given visit. Very safe covid protocols in place since you can only walk up to the door and place your order. The kids are always excited to get ice pops here as are my wife and I. Theyre also very friendly and answer your questions about the flavors.
Note: This review is for my experience *PRE-COVID.*I dont know of many ice pop shops around here since its 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 Nomads pops. They have creamy, vegan pops that you cant tell arent 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 theres 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 theres 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, youll 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 its a birthday, baby shower or company party. Everyone is always happy and impressed to see Nomad Ice Pops at your event.
Loooove Nomad pops! Havent ever been disappointed with any of their flavors. All their pops are delicious and their service is always professional and on point! Had them cater a drive by baby shower we had and everyone loved it! Highly recommend this place to everyone!!
Drove 20 minutes to get here because my 4 year old daughter wanted a pink popsicle and I didnt want some mass produced item from the grocery store. We were not disappointed. Amazing artisanal flavors that satisfied both a 4 year old sweet tooth and a foodie. Plus we got to go on a nice walk in beautiful historic San Gabriel and see the Mission right across the street after.
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!Weve 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!!
Flavor combinations are chef level amazing, healthy ingredients, reasonable prices and family run business full of good people. what else could you ask for? A+++++++++++++
Fresh popsicles real flavors not artificial
Good, inexpensive, and lots of choices. The opposite of one of those places where u think u ordered the wrong thing but in reality everything sucks, but you just dont know it yet.
But give me peanut butter 😁
Very friendly service and great tasting ice cream. Love the chocolate dipped peanut butter!
Best ice pops you can find with some interesting flavors. Pink lemonade, strawberry mint and vietnamese coffee are my favorites!
The ice pops are the best you will ever have. All fresh ingredients! Awesome flavors. I drive out of thr way to get my fix, usually 3 or more. It is a must stop if you are a foodie and love desserts.
Tasty on a hot day!
Great flavors!
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 dont have dairy. In summer/fall they are also at various farmers markets.
Great flavors.
My daily happy place! It is not just an healthy, natural Ice Pop but an adventure in my mouth! The service is a family environment with alot of love. Thank you
Made only with fresh, quality ingredients for an amazing product. Many different flavor combinations that arent too sweet. Prompt and courteous service every time I go. Have not tried a flavor I didnt like - Arnold Palmer, cherry limeade, balboa banana with chocolate, salted peanut butter with honey (dipped in chocolate, even better), and fudgecado.
This awesome little shop sells wonderful refreshing ice pops. I had the cherry lime and it was great. Friendly staff made my experience perfect.
So many flavors to choose from. This place is nice to visit on a hot summer day.
Unique idea, and well-executed. Lots of different flavors, most of them vegan or dairy free. A great place to visit for a tasty treat!
Super good. I recommend to my family.and .
Pricey but worth it
Creative, delicious flavors. We especially liked the strawberry mint. Not too sweet and all of them are made in house!
Good service and great flavors. Ordered some to go and a small ice pack was even put in the bag.
It was delicious and unique. Tough part was deciding which flavor!
Tasty and unique Ice Pops in the heart of the Mission District. Friendly service and an owner who is really passionate about the product.
A bit pricey. Friendly staff. Every thing made in house. Small shop
Quality, great taste, sweet and mild sweet options .
