00:00So we are La Pop and we are a handcrafted gelato shop. We also specialise in the handcrafted
00:06cheesecakes, the dark chocolate and strawberries, hot and cold drinks. We are well known for the
00:12lollies, that's what most people come to buy. We also, it's a range of different flavours, colours,
00:20I think it quite stands out to everyone and everyone enjoys having a delicious treat on
00:25their way home or just a stop by. We're at La Pop in Edgbaston, a gelateria where the experience
00:32is all about personalisation. Customers can choose from a wide range of flavours and toppings,
00:38making it a distinctive spot for gelato in Birmingham. It's known for its locally sourced
00:43ingredients and endless combination possibilities. It's created a buzz across the city since its
00:49inception just a few short years ago. La Pop opened about five years ago in 2019. It all started
00:57when the owner's children decided that it would be a cool idea to be having an ice cream shop
01:01and their parents decided to hold on to that idea and make the kids' dreams come become a reality,
01:05as most parents would probably laugh it off and probably say, you know, that might never happen,
01:09but here we are. Now it's time to see what the fuss is about with our taste test of crafted
01:16a Lotus Biscoff flavoured gelato lolly dipped in white chocolate and topped with caramel fudge,
01:22salted caramel crunch and crushed Lotus Biscoff. The quality of the ingredients is evident with
01:28every bite. The creamy gelato paired with the rich white chocolate and crunchy toppings is
01:34truly delightful and it's clear why this place is such a hit with customers. When customers first
01:40walk in, we obviously ask the question if they've been here before and when we get our regular
01:44customers, they know the drill is their pick it, dip it and top it concept. When customers haven't
01:49been here before, we explain the whole process to them and they are very much happy with how
01:53everything's laid out. They're happy with their service. Our smiles are always on our faces,
01:58always making sure that we are asking the most appropriate questions, allergies, all that kind
02:02of thing, considering everyone's needs. We're also trying to make a good space if the music
02:08needs turning down for any to accommodate certain individuals and any health needs then
02:14that will be also done as well. Customers are able to leave a review on us and we do get loads
02:22of excellent reviews as we are the number one ice cream shop in Birmingham. World Ice Cream Day is
