Everyone knows the perfect cure to a hot summer day is a cold and refreshing ice pop — and we found a bunch with unique flavors that go above your typical pop. Serving up everything from mango with chili to mojito, these five cool Westchester spots are sure to impress and become your new go-to popsicle shop.
BXVL Coffeehouse
2 Station Plz, Bronxville; 914.600.8139
While you might not think of a coffee shop as your typical popsicle spot, BXVL Coffeehouse sells delicious treats in a variety of flavors. BXVL is the brainchild of a former Wall Street executive and finance professor Charu Rana. BXVL opened up in August 2020 and immediately started serving its fresh fruit popsicles. Each flavor has been hand-tested by Rana’s family and friends before being put on the menu. Two of the bestsellers include the red and yellow pop (passion fruit and strawberry) and red and white pop (blood orange and peach). Pro tip: Grab one of these pops after taking the train home from a long day of work.
