Although the summer is winding down to a close, the heat in Southern California is still very much real. There’s plenty of frozen treats to enjoy around town, but the pop-up Swrlies takes a unique approach— being a Jalisco-style frozen yogurt and ice cream spot that’s got a variety of flavors, infused with popular Mexican culture. The business was started by Yardley Vergara, a Los Angeles native, and Vianca Vergara, who grew up in Jalisco; Vega’s concept for pop-up had been brewing for some time, but it wasn’t until 2019 that they began their journey as a pop-up. Since then, they’ve worked plenty of events, including Coachella, and served the likes of Katy Perry and the Property Brothers, among others. Joining us to discuss their pop-up is Yardley Vergara, CEO and co-owner of Swrlies, a Jalisco-style frozen yogurt and ice cream pop-up.
