Fodor's Expert Review Viva Pops

Inspired by Mexico’s palettas, owner Liza Altmann elevates frozen treats to an art form at her colorful shop in Normal Heights. Viva Pops’ sassy flavors are a mix of organic seasonal fruits, herbs, and spices. Cool down on a hot day with a Thai lime lemongrass pop; in cooler weather, flavors like pineapple chili or mango chili add a welcome hint of heat. The popular Mexican chocolate and lavender-lemonade are available year-round.
