Just discovered by me today (altho they've been open since last weekend) -- Loco Pops Gourmet Popsicles. In Durham on Hillsborough Rd (not that far from Ninth St). They're bringing the paletas experience to the Triangle. According to the flyer, flavors include Mango with Chili, Tamarind, Cucumber with Chili, Ginger Canteloupe, Chocolate with Rosemary, Mexican Caramel (I guess that would be cajeta), Rice Pudding. I remember that several of these were available this afternoon. I can't recall exactly but I think there were around 10 each of the fruit varieties and the cream varieties. Popsicles come in 3 sizes: small, medium and large. Sarah had the Pineapple/Mint. It was the only sugar-free flavor on offer. I had a taste, It was really good. Very fresh tasting. Very minty. I had the Chocolate w/ Chili. Amazing! I overheard the folks behind the counter saying that they're using only 1 variety of chili in the fruit/chili varieties but 3 in the chocolate/chili. I don't know that I'd have spontaneously guessed that. But it is a complex flavor. Reminds me of the Red Fire chocolate from Vosges, which is pretty good company to be in. One consumer advisory: if you're buying the chocolate/chili popsicle, I'd recommend eating it right there at the shop as it had started melting quite a bit by the time I got it home. The Pineapple/Mint pop held up much better and had barely melted at all.
I don't know how well Loco Pops will do once the cool weather returns. But I plan to visit often this summer.
