The Pop Parlour officially opened the doors today for its on-campus location in Knights Plaza.
The Pop Parlour serves various flavored popsicles and features a full espresso bar, Cigar City beer and wines. The UCF location even features alcoholic popsicles with a valid ID.
“We are the only company in Central Florida that uses local, all-natural, and organic ingredients to make hand crafted flash frozen pops. By using real fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other high quality ingredients we aim to create a better tasting frozen treat that can fit any diet. We put our employees and customers ahead of profit, that will come with the quality we constantly strive for in all areas,” The Pop Parlour’s website stated.
Jagger Larson, a freshman at UCF and lead barista, commented on the grand opening for the campus location.
“We seem to have a lot of people for the opening; we have a line out the door. People are loving our pops and loving the coffee. I think espresso sales will go up after it isn’t free anymore. This is Pop Parlour’s third location and I think it is going to be a huge hit. I hope the coffee culture of UCF and the Orlando area grows and continues to expand,” Larson said.
Many students passing by were drawn in by the “free popsicle and coffee” sign including freshman, Sydney Weinstein.
“I walked by and I saw that there were free popsicles so I had to stop by. I got the orange cream popsicle because I love orange. It’s actually really good and it tastes just like an orange. They give you a card to stamp and nine visits gets you a free popsicle so I’m sure I’ll use them,” Weinstein said.
In order to spark appeal from UCF students, The Pop Parlour will be handing out free popsicles and coffee on campus for three days this week, Monday through Wednesday.
