Gourmet Pops : Frozen delights to die for!

They are not only delicious and colourful but they are also healthy. Gourmet Pops (Popsicles), located at Grand Baie, creates unique sorbets and ice creams using local fresh and natural ingredients. Trust us guys, these sweet frozen treats on a stick are totally to die for!

Most of us love to have sweet frozen treats especially during summertime or simple to satisfy our sweet tooth. However, these popsicles are not just ordinary frozen treats. Crafted to perfection with locally available natural ingredients, they are a must-have sensorial experience. 

First you have the visual experience. Once you’ve removed the packaging, the bright coloured popsicles are candies for the eyes. Second the sweet, candied and fruity scents put water to your mouth. Third, your first bite is pure enjoyment and bliss for your taste buds.

Indeed the store was designed to showcase the Popsicles and create a unique customer experience. “It is undoubtedly a place of discovery filled with vibrant colors, sounds, scents, and most importantly a large selection of sorbets and ice creams only served on a stick,” says a representative of the store.

Located at Royal Road, Grand Baie, opposite the Tamil Temple, Gourmet Pops is a quaint space where family and friends can meet and enjoy a tasteful moment together.  “It is a place where families build happy memories, children colour Pops pages and leave us their best artistic work, young couples who have driven from afar sit to share a foodie moment. Smiles, laughter and stories are shared over Sunny Citrus, Berry Passion, Coco Chia or Vanilla Macaron and so many others.”

If you come from a long distance and wish to stock up the frozen treats for the whole week, you can purchase the intricately packed frozen boxes. These boxes offer a Popsicle variety of your choice and you can take the boxes home or bring them as gifts to parties and gathering. As the frozen snack company states, “we are simply doing what we love.”

What is also most interesting about these popsicles is that they are healthy alternatives to eating frozen treats. The frozen company in fact focuses on the use of mostly natural products and ingredients to offer healthier but yet delicious sorbets and ice creams to clients. “We believe in health first and foremost. There is an increasing rate of diabetes and food allergies worldwide, therefore, it is important to simplify our nutrition and enjoy what nature provides for us. When we started, we only offered a small selection of fruit-based popsicles. Today that number has tripled and since we’ve listened to our clientele, we’ve added other flavours. We offer both dairy-free and dairy options,” explains the representative.

However we were curious to know how the magic happens. But like all well kept secrets, …. “Good things take place naturally and quietly,” they told us. The flavours available at the store were inspired from glistening sun, lush landscape and the fruits on the island. Tropical flavours like Passion fruit, Litchi, Mango and many more are pure enjoyments.

Operational since just a few months, the company also serves Popsicles through selected hotels as well. Gourmet Pops (Mauritius) Ltd is open from Monday to Saturday from 11:00am to 5:00 pm at the Grand Baie Store. Upcoming locations will be announced on its Facebook page & Instagram account: @GourmetPopsMauritius
