Big O’s Original Pops is home to New Orleans' one and only mobile popsicle lounge.
It all started one hot day in NOLA. We started freezing ice-pops to cool down
from the summer sizzle. One thing led to another... we bought a couple of cargo bikes and installed a couch and freezer on them. We borrowed the lights from our neighbor’s Mardi Gras display. We bought a boom-box and and a big colorful umbrella, and voila!… the very first mobile popsicle lounge was born.
When the pandemic hit and everyone was forced to quarantine at home, we pivoted and created "popsicle doorbell" in our back yard. We simply hung a menu and video doorbell, ... and the people came. We have since moved out of the back yard but continue providing an ice-cold treats to the Bywater neighborhood.
