Island Pops @ #CoffeeUpliftsPeople PopUps @Brooklyn Roasting Company: Tuesdays 7am-7pm, 9/1-11/3

Khalid Hamid and his wife, Shelly, created Island Pops in Crown Heights, Brooklyn five years ago. Both came from Trinidad, and it was Shelly’s craving for the flavors of her homeland that inspired them to open this family business. “We saw the need for the island experience, the island authenticity,” Khalid said. “Flavors like guava, sorrel, passion-fruit, coconut, mango.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-cool-story-behind-popsicles/ #CoffeeUpliftsPeople (C.U.P.) will exist as a campaign in conjunction with https://brooklynroasting.com/ thru October with an intended brand launch (Website, tagline, etc ) for early November.
