Happy Pops

More Than Dessert – It’s the Happy Pops Experience

Happy Pops began in 2018 as a creative dream of husband-and-wife duo Augusta and Ian Puttkammer. From their first store in Noosa, Queensland, they set out to reinvent dessert by creating handcrafted gelato pops that were joyful, premium, and refreshingly different. What started as one small store quickly became a movement, celebrated for its vibrant flavours, clean ingredients, and playful, community-first approach.

Today, Happy Pops is expanding nationally through franchising, bringing its signature combination of indulgence, colour, and connection to families, couples, and treat-seekers across Australia. Every store delivers more than dessert - it creates a space for memories, fun, and moments worth sharing.
