If you didn’t get a chance yet to check out the recently opened Lil’ Pop Shop‘s bakery, here’s a great opportunity this weekend. The new bakery and shop at 4608 Woodland Ave. is inviting everyone to its grand opening celebration on Saturday, March 19. Stop by any time between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday and enjoy free treats, coffee, and spritzers (fruit-based seltzer drinks). 

After their initial soft opening in December, Lil’ Pop Shop has been working to tweak their menu and have added coffee service using Rival Brothers‘ locally roasted beans. Saturday’s event is also a chance to check out Lil’ Pop Shop’s selection of desserts, popsicles, and drinks.
