Want to know what we spent most of our money on in St. Augustine, Florida? Popsicles.
(This picture fits nicely with ailsapm’s weekly travel theme of ‘orange.’)
We stopped inside Hyppo once to try their gourmet popsicles and then found ourselves going back every few hours. In less than 24 hours, we’d spent over $30 on popsicles. Crazy, I know!
I never dreamed I would find popsicles to be such a treat. I don’t eat them at home. But these weren’t your typical popsicles. They contained very little water and came in such exotic flavors that we kept going back for more.
Our favorites? The Mexican Hot Chocolate, Datil Strawberry, and Sangria Plum.
Which flavor would you pick?

This pace looks awesome! I don’t eat dairy but the other flavours sound delicious. I would definitely spend a lot of money there if I was in the area 🙂
My daughter skipped the dairy treats, too. She had no trouble picking other delectable flavors. 🙂
Excellent craft-type treats, especially in humid Florida.
In Henley-in-Arden (Warwickshire, England) is a legendary ice-cream shop which makes its own ice-creams in all sorts of flavours. It’s been there for at least 50 years to my certain knowledge.
We fully expected to hit some ice cream shops. Especially if we found one like you described. Indulging in popsicles surprised us. I don’t think we had a lick of ice cream the whole trip.
Makes me want to go to St. Augustine for the popsicles. 🙂
Doesn’t it? It makes me think another 15-hour car trip wouldn’t be so bad if this was the reward at the end.
Ooh! Definitely something different in the popsicle (ice block to us 🙂 ) line. Mexican hot chocolate is hard to go past…
Yes. The Popsicles I know are just sugary blocks of ice. Not these. They had a different texture entirely and were so flavorful. The Mexican Hot Chocolate was spicy and rich. So good!!!
Awesome! We have a popular ice cream shop here called Salt & Straw that always has a line going out the door. They do kooky flavor combinations that strangely knock your socks off.
I’d try out that blueberry lavender lemonade one up there!
I almost tried that. There’s a lavender wine that I always have when I’m in Belgium. I couldn’t imagine pairing that with blueberry, though.
Great pictures – popsicles are perfect in the summer!
True. It took me several decades to figure this out. LOL.
Wow, pineapple cilantro, I’d definitely go for that! The dried cilantro seeds make a great herbal tea I enjoy, and it’s supposed to be great for arthritis. Pineapple has similar benefits for inflammation too, so why not? What a great taste combo, how smart! Great post, Julian, now I know why you didnt go for the fountain of youth, lol, popsicles sound much more enticing! ♥♥♥ ;^)
I did not know that about cilantro and pineapple. I almost tried this flavor, but got stuck on the spicy ones. They were so good. Next time maybe I’ll try some new flavors AND visit the fountain of youth. 🙂
♥♥♥ ;^)
Wow! Gourmet popsicles! I don’t normally like them much, but I would love to try the Banilla Vanana flavor.
I’ve never liked them either. Ice hurts my teeth. But these weren’t like frozen-ice popsicles. I tried the Banilla Vanana. It was delicious.
As we may have told you Juliann, we lived in St. Augustine Beach and it’s our favorite place in FL. We routinely strolled the main street in the historic district, and I don’t remember this place. Given $30 for popsicles, maybe that’s a good thing. Datil strawberry sounds like an unusual combination. Did you get a chance to sample datil pepper sauce? ~James
We did sample a couple different datil pepper sauces, bought several to bring home, and even bought some peppers at the Farmer’s Market. 🙂 We loved them. The Datil Strawberry Popsicle was delicious, too. Hyppo has only been around for 4 years. You’ll have to try them if you ever go back.
Ooh sangria plum!
That was a good one!
I’ve seen the gourmet label attached to plenty of things but popsicles are definitely a first! I’d definitely be up for the cucumber lemon mint or the blueberry lavender lemonade. Dang it, now you’ve made me crave popsicles. Like you, I never eat them at home or buy them but for these, I think those $30 were worth it. 😉
I’m pretty sure we’d do it all over again. We filled up a frequent buyer card in 24 hours!
The pear one sounds delicious! But they all do – I can understand why you went back so often!!
We just discovered that there’s a food truck in downtown Cincinnati that also sells gourmet popsicles! Yay! Thai Basil Lime and Orange Spiced Honey are going to be the first two on my tasting list. I think I’d better get a part-time job to support my new popsicle habit!
Thai Basil Lime and Orange Spiced Honey – both sound so good! I think you’re going to have an addiction if you don’t already, haha.

Sangria Plum and Orange Spiced Honey!!! Oh my….I might need to be dragged away from this place Juliann!! 🙂
