Breezy Pops

For any avid health nuts out there, each item is made with all-natural ingredients. In light of COVID-19, the company will be at permitting locations to allow the delivery of any pre-orders.
AZ Pops
Windsor Square’s AZ Pops is a staple for anyone who wants an icy pick-me-up. They have a huge variety of choices so that there is something for everyone (friendly tip: caramel cookies and cream is phenomenal). Just like the others, ingredients are all-natural with no artificial flavoring. You don’t have to go all the way to their store; AZ Pops can be found various Whole Foods locations as well as farmer’s markets.
Paleta’s Betty
Supporting small businesses is important right now. If you’re looking for something that resembles a homemade dessert, Paleta’s Betty offers the tastiest popsicles near you in Phoenix. The original owner has been making these fruity icicles from scratch for customers throughout the past decade, bringing her Mexican culture to the Chandler and Tempe areas.
