Nestled in the heart of downtown Raleigh, Raleigh Popsicle Co is redefining the way locals and visitors alike beat the heat with their artisanal frozen treats. This charming ice cream shop at 119 E Hargett St Suite 110 offers an exquisite selection of handcrafted popsicles that shine through their commitment to fresh, natural ingredients and imaginative flavors.
What truly sets Raleigh Popsicle Co apart is its diverse and thoughtfully curated menu that caters to everyone's tastes and dietary preferences. From vibrant non-dairy options like juicy Strawberry Lemonade, tropical Passion Fruit, and zesty KiwiStrawberry, to rich dairy-based creations such as the nostalgic Cookies & Cream and indulgent Raspberry Cheesecake, each popsicle encapsulates a burst of authentic flavor in every lick.
Imagine savoring the cool sweetness of a Watermelon popsicle, so fresh it evokes the sensation of biting into a sun-ripened slice on a blistering summer afternoon.

As Ayana Williams expressed, Raleigh Popsicle Co’s treats are the “exactly what I needed on this hot summer day,” while Jacob W reminisced about the nostalgic charm of the Cookies and Cream flavor whisking him back to childhood delights.
Raleigh Popsicle Co also offers mini versions perfect for sampling multiple flavors or for children, as Rose Ferguson found ideal for her little ones. Their dedication to fresh, natural ingredients ensures that even those with specific dietary needs—like Naaila Young—can indulge without worry, highlighting these popsicles’ uniqueness compared to ordinary, artificial grocery store options.

This was my first time ever trying Raleigh Popsicle Co and I have to say that I was extremely impressed. The owners were friendly and the popsicles were exactly what I needed on this hot summer day! I had the pleasure of trying both the watermelon flavor and the strawberry lemonade. They were super refreshing and you could tell that it was made with natural ingredients. 10/10 recommend!

This company is phenomenal! Fresh products and outstanding customer service. Not only are Nikki and her husband kind but they take the time to serve products that you can enjoy and aren’t artificial (good for my dietary needs). Who knew that a popsicle could be so good, but it is! Nothing like the stuff you buy in the grocery store :)

Great, fresh popsicles! The mini version is perfect for little ones or if you want to sample a few I tried the watermelon and mango.

Raleigh Popsicle Co popsicles have continuously been a favorite item at Market 317 @ Downtown Cary Park year-round. They have rapidly become a staple and can now also be found at The House of Many Porches Market @ Dix Park. They are incredible to work with, and are part of the memories made in our community. We love you, Raleigh Popsicle Co!

Such a wonderful experience! They catered our apartment’s pool party. Five star service! My kids and I sampled watermelon, cookies and cream, and strawberry lemonade. They are the freshest popsicles I’ve ever had. The watermelon was like eating a fresh slice. The strawberry lemonade was refreshing. The cookies and cream though took me back to my childhood days eating my grandmas homemade ice cream, full Oreos, so delicious! You have to get your fingers on these

I am a frequent visitor at Raleigh popsicles and am horrified by the review someone left about the popsicles melting and not being offered free water. The entitlement of people now is crazy. Someone's poor planning should not be reflected on to a business. With that being said I absolutely love their popsicles! My favorite dairy one is the cookie monster and my favorite non dairy is the kiwi strawberry! In the hot summer it is great working close to this location so I can feed my popsicle obsession!

I first came here a couple months ago and I have to say out of all the popsicles I’ve had, these are among the best. Not only were the popsicles delicious but the customer service was also excellent. The same girl Lily was there both times I’ve been, and she had such a radiant energy and was very helpful with all my questions. I can’t wait to go back again!
