About

It all started when…

…I was bartending at Cheever’s cafe here in Oklahoma City. I spent a large amount of my time creating new cocktails with different syrups, liquor infusions, bitters and tinctures. While I enjoyed it immensely, I knew it was not my place to live out my life behind the bar top of someone else’s dream.

During my travels over the years, I often came across these fantastic fresh fruit frozen pops. Some where simple familiar flavors and some where totally unique mashups but they reminded you of how fun popsicles where to eat as a child. In 2016 I bought my first popsicle molds and took my experience from behind the bar top and put them into making my first pops. Raspberry Basil was one of the first I ever made. It’s wonderful tartness and subtle basil notes made it one of the most poplar of our first summer.

FRESH - SIMPLE - BETTER

It was an easy decision to use all natural ingredients when making our fruit pops. Nothing artificial or refined sugars are ever used. Most of our popsicles only have 3-5 ingredients. This allows each element of every recipe to maintain their own flavors and from being covered up.

So just like any good cocktail, every ingredient used needs has a purpose. Can you taste it? Does it elevate it? Does it soften the edges? Does it make it better? We ask those same questions to ourselves whenever we are making our pops. We want you to taste everything we advertise. If you see Blackberry Honey Vanilla Cream on the menu, that’s exactly what we want you to taste, a wonderful balance of flavors coming together beautifully.

Our Vans

I found our first van, a first generation 1967 Ford Club Wagon, down in Denton, TX with the name Wandervan Transportation across the side. It already had a new paint job and a rebuilt engine to go to work. With its beautiful rounded details and compact body it made for an ideal symbol for our high quality pops. After about 10 months of getting our van ready and our business licensed, Wondervan Pops made its debut on June 23rd 2018 at the OSU-OKC farmers market when it was still held on their campus. The market has since moved and has been adopted by the Scissortail Park Foundation in downtown Oklahoma City and is bigger and better than it ever was. You can still find us there every Saturday morning at Scissortail Park during the spring and summer months from 9am-1pm

Two years later, we added our second 67’ Econoline that we call “Debra”. Both of these van have been a very special and recognizable symbol for Wondervan Pops. For those who come across us at a public event and don’t have a clue as to what Wondervan is, these beautiful vans are enough to draw them in like a moth to a lightbulb. Two forms of nostalgia perfectly intertwined.
