Lil' Pop Shop opening in West Philly
When Jeanne Chang settled into her West Philly domicile last March, Unitea was on the brink of closing, the physical location of Honest Tom's was nonexistent and the Lil' Pop Shop existed only in her mind. One year later, she's attending zoning board hearings, jumping through the last bureaucratic hoops before she can officially open her gourmet popsicle shop at 265 S. 44th Street.
Lil' Pop Shop opening in West Philly
When Jeanne Chang settled into her West Philly domicile last March, Unitea was on the brink of closing, the physical location of Honest Tom's was nonexistent and the Lil' Pop Shop existed only in her mind. One year later, she's attending zoning board hearings, jumping through the last bureaucratic hoops before she can open her gourmet popsicle shop at 265 S. 44th Street, the former address of Unitea, sometime in April. (It's a busy West Philly block, already featuring Tampopo, Local 44 and L44's forthcoming bottle shop.)
Originally from California, Chang lived for a few years in Durham, North Carolina before moving to Philly. It was in here she bumped into Locopops, a popular shop for popsicle-loving locavores. Inspired by the concept, Chang is working on flavors that reflect local, seasonal ingredients whenever possible, and the varieties will be as distinct as Philadelphians are from Carolinians. She is definitely “interested in hearing what flavors folks want to eat," and for now has a few ideas of her own for the opening menu:
- mango sriracha
- lemon blueberry buttermilk
- chocolate with citrus sea salt
- cucumber lime mint
- yogurt with cherries
- grapefruit with rosemary and pink peppercorn
- cherry lime
- vanilla cardamom
- Vietnamese coffee
