Must try if you like popsicles or paletas! This sweet mom and pop owned store has the most amazing flavors and uses fresh fruit. They're also doing cool Asian flavors from dirty matcha with oreo to pennywort! You can literally taste all the ingredients and it doesn't seem like there are any additives or natural flavors. What you see if what you get. I tried the raspberry pistachio with real bits of pistachios and raspberry in it. Was a creamy popsicle. Also loved the kumquat lemonade! Somehow the popsicle really brought out the kumquat floral notes! Everything we've tried has been good so far. No grainy taste or filmy taste. Everything is very clean tasting! They switch up flavors almost daily, so I will definitely be back. $2 mini pops or $5.5 for a full size pops You can also get the popsicles fried if you want. If you haven't checked out this small shop you must! read more

WOW what a hidden gem! So happy to find this place. Alex the owner is so sweet and kind. The interior is super chill with a few seats on the side but seems like people mostly come and go. He makes mini popsicles for $2 and larger for $5. You can get a box of 12 for $18 for the mini popsicles. I love that there are mini popsicles because sometimes I don't feel like eating a full one. The flavors are amazing and are creamy, not icy. He also uses fresh fruit for the popsicles. They also sell frozen yogurt and fried ice cream which I haven't tried yet. The frozen yogurt doesn't have any toppings though, just the frozen yogurt. Can't wait to come back here for more yummy popsicles! read more

I LOVE THE OWNERS!!! They are so so nice, spreading positivity and only that. The owners are like your kind auntie and uncle at a gathering who DON'T judge you and feed you with love and goodness. Everything is made in-house and with honesty. The owner is not afraid to tell you the process of how he makes the ice creams. We love transparency! So many flavors with Vietnamese twists; it's commendable to see such dishes be man made into ice cream. Pennywort? Durian? Pandan? They got it all. There's something for everyone at all ages, don't worry. They have oreo, strawberry, fudge, etc., so don't let the Vietnamese twists scare you. I DO have to say... As an Asian person, the best compliment you can get on a dessert is that it's "not too sweet". YES. RIGHT HERE. THIS IS IT!!! THIS IS THE PLACE!! I bought a box of different flavors and shared amongst the family, and the older generation loved it. The children loved it too because ice cream duh, but getting the older generation to try something sweet and new AND liking it is so rare. They have mini pops for $2, which I think is a reasonable price for a small business. They also have bigger pops for $5. And of course, written in their business name, they have fried ice cream. I haven't tried it myself since I'm not a fan of fried things, but I've seen regulars come get it, so that says something. I mean, if it's in the name, it should be good, right? read more

Gold Pop's Fried Ice Cream in Carrollton is such a charming little spot. The wonderful couple who owns it is warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to share what they've created. From the moment we walked in, we felt like they were genuinely happy to see us. She even said "welcome back" even though we had never visited, lol. It was sweet. The owner was incredibly kind and let us sample a few flavors, which made choosing even more fun. I tried the Coconut Pandas and it was so good. Simple, creamy, and perfectly balanced. My friends loved it too and were excited to grab a few pops to take on the road. The flavors are great now, and it's exciting to hear there are even more coming soon. You can really tell care goes into the concept and the product. A couple small suggestions that could elevate the experience even more. It might be nice to have a way for customers to see the pops, maybe with a glass display. Also, the rolls of paper with the handwritten menu aren't the most aesthetically pleasing, so something like a gridded dry erase board could really enhance the look. A bit more seating would be a great addition as well. Overall, I loved the vibes, loved the flavors, and loved the people behind it. Such a cool concept with simple, delicious flavors. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to see how this place continues to grow. I gotta get back and try the FRIED ice cream next time. read more

Literally the best popsicle place in my opinion. Super tucked away and unassuming. Owners are super friendly and nice. Me and my friends frequent this place all the time. Flavors are always rotating and I have literally not had a single bad flavor. Love getting the mini size pops and getting an assortment. Perfect size for a snack and you get to try more flavors. Some of my favorites are matcha strawberry, dirty matcha, pandan, avocado, and so many more. read more

I love fried ice cream and Gold Pops does not disappoint. The fried ice cream is $7.75 and mini pops are $2. We chose matcha and Oreos for our fried ice creams. Both were so good.

Can't wait to come back. read more

My husband was searching for a place to get ice cream and this place came up in his search. We have had fried ice cream before so wanted to try it. They have a large selection of flavors to choose from and different ways to eat your pop - fried or not fried. My husband got the Oreo fried pop and I got the coconut jackfruit pop. They were delicious! The place is owned by a couple who used to have a Japanese restaurant and they served fried ice cream for dessert there. If you like supporting local spots and want some great ice cream, you should pay them a visit. read more

Amazing selection of the usual flavors plus many unusual choices. Love the Dirty Macha and Honey Goatcheese

So happy this small business is back in TX after almost 3 years away! Originally located in Arlington, TX the sweet couple has returned back to the DFW area, now in Carrollton. If you've liked Steel City Pops, they are much better! They have a variety of flavors and not hard as a rock like at Steel City Pops! You can find your typical pop flavors but also several Asian dessert/fruit focused flavors as well. Not too sweet & the mini pops are the perfect size for a quick snack! The menu rotates often and with it being a small business, you can probably request other flavors for the couple to maybe experiment with when you become a regular. They're still working on their soft opening now but we can't wait to come back for their grand opening! read more

UPDATE I've learned that the owners supply some of their fruits from local farms that they travel to themselves to supply their popsicles!!! Since it's fall they've got delicious Asian flavors like cinnamon apple and kabocha pumpkin!!!! I took home kumquat frozen yogurt this time; unfortunately they were out of durian this time.

Saw this and decided to drop by after a hot day. Tried both the strawberry cheesecake and the purple sweet potato...you can tell that they make the ice cream from fruit and not from syrup. It was so creamy and delicious. The gentleman at the counter knows his fruit and was so kind! I was so excited to eat the fried ice cream, I forgot to take a picture, but will do so next time and post. read more

Such a fun place. Great flavors that are hard to find including durian. . Workers are very friendly.

I got mango & lychee fro-yo, and a cantaloupe popsicle to go & OMG! You can taste that everything has real fruit in it & everything was so good! If you try mango fro-yo/ice cream after having it here, it's going to taste fake in comparison. The gentleman that was working that day was very nice. Great spot for unique/Asian flavors - I will definitely be returning! read more
