The newest pop stop to open in DFW is Popbar in Richardson. Featuring both dairy and non-dairy treats on sticks, these simple pops get dipped in creamy chocolate, caramel, or mint chocolate before a dunk in toppings like crushed caramel corn or pistachios.

Pop Factory, or the popsicle company formerly known as MaxFrut, is now freezing its all-natural paleta-style pops at Las Colinas’ Toyota Music Factory. Pop Factory pops come in four varieties: fruit, milk, stuffed, or boozy.

Berrynaked shimmied onto the scene in 2014 with a gorgeous display case full of creamy, dairy-based pops and vegan, fruit-based pops. Organic ingredients and creative drizzles and toppings make Berrynaked a delicious and unique pop stop.

Deep Ellum’s Twisted Treats offers “twists on desserts” including, of course, popsicles. The pops come in flavors like watermelon, hibiscus, coffee, and avocado, then customers have the option of dipping their pops in chocolate and adding toppings like sprinkles and nuts.

What sets these Brazilian-style, creamy or fruit-based pops apart is that they are filled with concoctions like banana Nutella or Chamoy. Then the pops are dipped, drizzled, and/or sprinkled with even more toppings to complete the creation.

Some days call for a more grown-up, sophisticated popsicle. For those times, head to CocoAndre Chocolatier on West 7th Street in Bishop Arts, where they’ve been dipping paletas in chocolate since before it was “Instagram-worthy.”
