Island Pops would not even exist if it were not for my wife, Shelly. In 2014 she got sick with Chikungunya and was craving soursop ice cream that I couldn't find anywhere in Brooklyn. I decided to try my hand at making my own. It wasn’t perfect (yet) but it was the beginnings of what you know now as Island Pops, where we are dedicated to providing nostalgic Caribbean favorites, as well as innovative new flavors of ice cream, sorbets and popsicles. This Mothers’ day I’m paying tribute to Shells, my wonderful wife, for all she does for our family and our business.

Ever since Kim Kardashian posted about drinking a sea moss smoothie, the healthy eating community has been raving about this superfood and its benefits for your skin to your immune system.
