Bliss Pops

This tiny grab-and-go spot on Polk Street in San Francisco packs a whopping punch of flavor with their cool sweet treats. Inspired by paletas, sweet icy treats from Mexico, Bliss Pops incorporates an all-natural sweetener from the Mexican Maguay plant as an homage. You'll appreciate their fresh ingredients, without the addition of processed sugars, additives, and preservatives—perfect for you and your little one's tiny tummy. And at $3 a pop, they are also perfect for your wallet. Choose from light and refreshing flavors such as Organic Strawberry, Pineapple, or Mango. Or if you and your tiny tike are hankering for more, then indulge in Birthday Cake, Cookies & Cream, or the tongue-twister Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Crunch Pop. And for adult tastebuds: Cognac Maple Bacon.

Good to Know: You can also find their little carts roaming Bay Area street fairs and festivals. Just check their calendar for details. Looking for after-hours fun? Bliss Pops stays open until 11pm for a post-date sweet treat.
