What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Pops ice cream, has ice cream and they also have ice cream! I like the ice cream, it was cold which is good because if it was hot it wouldn’t be ice cream anymore and then it wouldn’t be pops ice cream which would be bad. I really liked the flavors and that the ice cream was able to be eaten which was really good. I ate it up and got it all into my belly, magical experience thank you pops your the best in the whole world"
"Pops Ice Cream in Alexandria is a charming, old-fashioned ice cream shop right down by the waterfront. The street is often closed off to traffic, making it super easy and pleasant for pedestrians to stroll by. When I visited, there wasn’t a line, so I was able to walk right in—though I’ve heard it can get busy at peak times. I went with my favorite, Butter Pecan (I’ve tried their Pistachio and a few other flavors before), and it did not disappoint. The portion size is just right, and you can choose between a cup or a cone. The location is fantastic, and the vibe is classic and welcoming. Prices are a little on the higher side, but they’re pretty standard for the area, and the quality makes it worth it. There’s a wide variety of flavors, so there’s something for everyone. Definitely a great spot to grab a sweet treat while enjoying the waterfront."
"Great atmosphere and service. Not a long wait, and the Ice cream was so tasty, and a well needed dessert with this heat."
"We’ve been frequent customers for several years! I love the old fashioned vibe and various flavors. And they can make a milkshake out of any of them! We’ve always had great service, whether it’s the off-season in January or a busy summer weekend. We’ve even been to Pop’s for a birthday party- the staff were awesome and it was a fun place to hold a bunch of us to celebrate and play games while having icecream. My husband and I began dating in Old Town and often went to Pop’s for dessert, so during our busy wedding day we HAD to make time for Pop’s, see photos!"
"Really sweet and tasty ice cream! I chose black raspberry and strawberry on a waffle cone and it was delicious! The inside is really nice and the theme matches it’s name. The staff is really nice as-well. Really good first experience!"
"When visiting Old Town, you really can't leave without grabbing a drink or dessert -- and this spot immediately caught my eye. I was craving something..."
