Perkins Rowe has a sweet new tenant.
Rock n’ Pops, a gourmet paleteria—or popsicle specialty shop—will open in May in the trendy and popular mixed-use development across from Barnes & Noble, near California Pizza Kitchen.
Rock n’ Pops, which will settle into a 844-square-foot space, will feature 21 flavors of homemade popsicles.
The brand is the newest family member of the rock ‘n’ roll themed Creole-Mexican fusion restaurant Lava Cantina Baton Rouge, which also is celebrating an anniversary at Perkins Rowe.
“Lava Cantina is proud to be celebrating the restaurant’s third anniversary in Perkins Rowe,” says Ian Vaughn, Lava Cantina and Rock n’ Pops owner/founding partner. “We’ve been so thankful for the tremendous support of the Baton Rouge community, and we are excited to introduce our newest brand, Rock n’ Pops. What better way to cool off this summer than indulging in a homemade, ice cold popsicle.”
Rock n’ Pops will have seven fruit-based popsicles, seven cream-based popsicles and seven Ambrosia Bakery cake and cream based popsicles, according to a news release.
Notable favors include Fat Elvis, a peanut butter and cream base rolled in chocolate and sprinkled with candied bacon; Wedding Cake, which is a popsicle rolled with Ambrosia Bakery cake dipped in a cream base; and Rocky Road, a chocolate base dipped in chocolate and rolled in chocolate chunks, almonds and marshmallows.
According to its Facebook page, Rock n’ Pops is set to open May 16.
