    This kind of threw me back to my childhood. This store has everything. I mean each section I turned to had something different. Yeah, it is a large organized store. I believe they make a lot of their own confectionaries there and I would love to try some at some point, especially the fudge. They have mugs, books, candies, clothes, and a lot more. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was that my wife wanted to buy a MD flag apron after seeing an ad for it on sale as a gift to a friend. The price was different than what was posted. The salesperson called the manager and then the owner to see what is what. It turns out they posted a different picture in the ad and the price was about $10 difference. The owner would not honor the mistake. Now I do understand it was a mistake, but when you make a mistake and draw a customer in, I personally would have honored that price and corrected the online mistake. But that's just me. We ended up buying it at a higher price anyway because that's what we were there for. But otherwise it was a pleasant experience strolling down memory lane to an old style candy shop.

    This isn't just a popcorn store. They have a variety of flavored glass bottled sodas including the wacky flavors (sweet corn, buffalo wing, etc.). There are also a ton of coasters, t-shirts, hoodies, etc. with every iteration of the Maryland flag and/or crabs on them. There are also hot cinnamon nuts at the counter. I appreciate that the popcorn wall has samples to try the flavors. You can sort of read what the flavors are by the ingredient list, but I wish there was an actual description of the flavors because its broken down into their parts. I got one that looked like mostly caramel corn and dark and/or milk chocolate and the sample I tried was that. But after getting it home I realized it was also white chocolate which I'm not a fan of. The popcorn is okay but not as good as others I've had. There are some cool gift ideas here including the predator and alien figures and I'll definitely be back

    One of the new businesses to show up in Old Ellicott City after the flood of 2016, we can't be more happy they're here! They bring something new to the never-ending antique stores and boutiques, and we make sure to stop by them every visit. E.C. Pops is a popcorn store with a touch of that 1950's candy store and soda shop. Their main seller is their popcorn which comes in dozens of flavors, from sweet to salty to savory (and everything between). There's a LOT of flavor (no "lightly dusted" here) and the candied popcorns aren't too hard on the teeth like some places. All of it is popped ~on site~, and they don't leave it laying around on the shelf for long, so you know its fresh. Even better, they have dishes of each flavor so you can sample and find which ones you like! They also have a ton of other sweets, from a wall of Jelly Belly jelly beans, jars of gummies (which you can also sample), fudge, lollipops, etc. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll find plenty to satisfy here, from chocolate to jawbreakers! Add into this all sorts of knick-knacks to hold candy, popcorn, etc. in and it's like being in Honeydukes from "Harry Potter". My particular favorite, though, is the wall of flavored sodas. No Coke, 7-Up, Mountain Dew, etc. here... we're talking everything from classics to the weird. A variety of Nehi, Dad's, etc. flavors for those missing those days of yore. They also have unique brands that have special flavors like Kiwi, Honey Ginger Lime, etc. (These are hit or miss - do NOT get the "bacon"-flavored one!) My two favorites? Brownie Caramel Cream Root Beer (so tasty) and Flying Cauldron's Butterscotch Beer (as close to Butterbeer as you'll get outside of Orlando Studios!). What's really great is they have each of these sodas in an old-fashioned cooler, so you can buy a cold one, pop the top, and drink it right there (or as you walk Main Street)! We already mentioned "knick-knacks", but there is so much there. Candy dishes, popcorn tubs, noise-makers (hide them from your kids!), desk gadgets, etc., etc. Each time you go in, there's so many things to see and you can't help but grab something new to add to your total. E.C. Pops is probably the greatest addition to Main Street Ellicott. They've brought something new, convenient, and (comparatively) reasonably-priced. We stop there once a week and always end up getting more than we thought! If you're passing through EC, especially walking on a beautiful day, you cannot complete your experience without stopping here.
