  Everyone raves about Steel City Pops which by all means is great but for those of us who live in Hoover, Urban Pops has won our hearts over.
  
  It is similar but Urban Pops has more exotic flavors.
  
  This place is located on 150 in the Walmart shopping center.
  
  Parking is plentiful, they have adequate seating, service is amazing. Owners are super friendly and can answer any question about their items.
  
  If you come from eastern cultures you'll love kulfi, malai and pistachio flavors. I think they have a mango one too. The kulfi pop is a must try.
  
  Kulfi is Indian ice cream. It has sweet cream, a bit of cardamom and some rose essence usually. But the taste is not overpowering. You mostly taste the sweet cream flavor with just a hint of cardamom. You can get it in the pistachio or plain flavors.
  
  The owners are Persian but they have mastered this South Asian classic. I think Iranian desserts are similar to Indian. As a south Asian I can tell you they do this better than the Indian places in town!
  
  They use real ingredients, flavors and nuts. I got mango kulfi from Indian buffet and it was just artificial orange crap. Not here! They sell the real deal!
  
  They stay open past dinner time so it's nice to come here for dessert.
  
  They have coffee and other desserts on their menu as well but people come in for the pops. However, if you go with a person who doesn't like pops, there are options for them!
  
  Prices are fair and affordable. They have vintage games and it always smell nice and feels cozy in here.

  Immediately upon walking in there was a weird smell that neither my husband or myself really cared for. I don't know if it's normal or not, but it was def a deterrent.
  
  We stopped in about 3pm on a Saturday while passing through the area, it was not busy- but either they had sold out of the pops earlier in the day or they only had about 6 flavor options to choose from normally. The woman working there was very nice when I asked her opinion- I chose cookies and cream because she said it was more popular than the banana pudding and I was afraid of picking a flavor that just plain sucked- haha.
  
  Overall, it was nothing too special. Same size as others I have had before but it tasted just standard.

  Urban pops has the best homemade popsicle around.  My favorite is the coffee and cookies and cream.  They truly put a whole Oreo in the popsicle and use real cream.  The best.  The owners are so friendly and helpful when trying to choose a flavor your wanting.  They take such pride in their business.  The inside is very warm and cozy and great place to have a cup of coffee or enjoy a popsicle depending on what your wanting on your visit.  A couple tables on the outside if weather isn't to hot to sit.  They offer a punch card where you can earn a free popsicle after purchasing so many.  One of my favorite little finds.

  If you like popsicles, you've come to the right place but these aren't just any old popsicles. These are gourmet treats.
  
  On a recent visit, we all got something different and we all liked them. Mine was the mint chocolate chip. It was a creamy one and was really good.
  
  The kid got cookies and cream...see pic. She loved it. The other two guys got fruity ones and they liked theirs too.
  
  Small place but cute decor. Plenty of parking because it's in a huge shopping center.

  I can't believe it took this long for me to come here.  What a cool space.  Located in the Walmart shopping center in Hoover, this gem hits the spot if you want a treat.
  
  The employees/owners are amazing and so helpful.  Store is clean and there is plenty of seating indoors.
  
  Flavors galore! If you want chocolate flavored...you're covered!  Craving something fruity....you're covered (I went with the Raspberry Lemonade....simply awesome!!).  Want something with candy in it....you guessed it...they have that as well!
  
  Reasonable prices and perfect size to quench that sweet tooth.  Glad I finally made it in here and look forward to many, many return visits.
