We can probably all agree that a good cup of coffee is part of what makes the world go round. Now imagine coffee ice cream. Good right? But get this… a coffee popsicle. Breezy Pops offers coffee and fruity popsicles near you in Phoenix at many local farmer’s markets. They have the consistency of an ICEE rather than a popsicle, so they’re even more refreshing. 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.
