E.C. Pops is a lively and colorful shop located in the heart of Old Ellicott City, offering a wide variety of treats and novelty items that appeal to families, tourists, and locals alike. The store is busy and bustling, with a fun, nostalgic atmosphere that emphasizes variety and volume. Visitors can watch popcorn being made through a back window, adding to the charm. The shop features an extensive selection of popcorn flavors, including Old Bay and caramel, along with a large assortment of candy, jelly beans, chocolates, and unique sodas. Beyond sweets, E.C. Pops also sells Maryland-themed clothing, hot sauces, honey, books, toys, and souvenirs, making it more of an old-fashioned general sweets shop than a single-product store. The store is packed with items—ranging from novelty gifts to quirky finds like grenade-shaped hot sauce bottles and Maryland-themed apparel—offering something for everyone. While prices are considered a bit high, the quality, generous portions, and friendly customer service make it a popular spot. The shop's lively atmosphere, wide selection, and fun experience make it a must-visit destination in the area.
