King of Pops was started by three brothers after a trip to Latin America where they tried Paleta (Popsicle) and their minds were blown. While both are usually sweet and frozen on a stick, the similarities between the traditional Paleta and the Popsicles end there.  The Paleta starts with fresh fruit and interesting flavor combinations.  Their classics are flavors like, Pineapple Habanero, Arroz con Leche and Tamarind but the Banana Puddin’, Peach, Blackberry Ginger Lemonade and Chocolate Sea Salt are what they are known for.

Jeni’s has been taking the States by storm with their uniquely smooth texture and buttercream bodied ice cream, with bright flavors and a clean finish (they don’t use synthetic flavorings, dyes, or off-the-shelf mixes).  Their flavors stand alone straight from the pint or melt perfectly into a fruit pie, birthday cake, crumble, crisp, or cookie—the perfect accessory for your dessert.  Their ahead-of-the-trend vision—using whole ingredients and dairy from grass-pastured cows, rather than synthetic flavorings and commodity ice cream mix—coupled with inspired flavors sparked the artisan ice cream movement more than a decade before it would become a top food trend.  Step off the Beltline in Inman Park and grab a pint, or grab dessert after a meal at JCT Kitchen at their West Midtown location.
