The Pop Shop





If you are looking for a fun place to dine, especially if you have young kids, head to the Pop Shop on Haddon Avenue in the center of Collingswood. This is a 50's style ice cream parlor. Children can eat there free on Saturday mornings if they are in their PJ's and accompanied by a paying adult. I have been there several times and love their chocolate chip pancakes, which I did order. I can never finish what they serve, so this time I ordered the kid size for $3.59, and still could not finish it. Check out the size of the portion. While the pancakes were tasty, I was just a tad disappointed as this time they did not have as many chocolate chips as in the past. My dining partner ordered a black and white shake and gave it an A. It would have been an A+ if they would have served it in the metal mixing container...so you get the little extra at the bottom....that always makes it more fun!! He also ordered a BLT sandwich (for $6.59) and he said it was delicious. It was a triple decker, with loads of crispy bacon...and the bread was thick...not your typical grocery store style bread. And if you are a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, then definitely this is the place to go....they have approx 30 varieties to select from. I once had the "Park." It was a grilled cheese sandwich on a Philadelphia soft pretzel...very yummy!!!! I give the Pop Shop an "A".

  3. Wow....Chocolate Chip pancakes are a favorite at my house. I always made them for my girls and their friends on Sunday mornings. Black and white shakes are also a favorite of mine and I totally agree about the metal mixer!!!! I will definitely check this place out. Oh...I love the comment made by Merle Compton and her wearing PJ's.....love the idea!!!!!
