Popcorn (free)

Mon McP

Met these wonderful people today at Little Italy Mercato. I had my heart set on the dill, and it did not disappoint. Went for a 2nd flavor for my grandkids, and chose the cinnamon one. I can't wait to get them home and try them from the freezer. Great product, so fresh, really glad we decided to stop today, on our short weekend away. 🍿

Tried some at the farmers market in san diego, and it was AMAZING! Bought a bag of the kettle corn. Highly recommend!

Goldie Pops is the best popcorn! We love the San Diego Blend and stock up on Goldie Pops every time we visit San Diego. I won’t eat any other brand of popcorn anymore as no other brand is as good. Having Goldie Pops at the airport in Terminal 1 stores is great but we love buying from Lowell at the Little Italy Farmers Market. He’s such a wonderful person!

Not a popcorn guy but this changes things! BEST IN THE FREEZER AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS. Look forward to seeing him at the little italy farmers market when we need more. Makes a great gift!

I have loved Goldie since I found it at the Farmer's market in Little Italy. The flavor is great and I love having it chilled. It's wonderful to be able to get it anywhere since I have since left San Diego for the Midwest. I love that you can always reach someone to help with your orders and more like as not you will talk to Lowell. I cannot recommend Goldie Pops enough! You will never been disappointed.

They were not lying when they said it’s the best popcorn you’ll ever have! All the flavors are delicious and fresh and they definitely got it right with the freezing trick! The owner is such a lovely guy too, I’ll definitely be a frequent customer in the future. This place rocks.

On a recent trip to San Diego I stopped by their stand at the farmers market. We got a bag of dill pickle and damnnnnn out of the freezer it is some of the best popcorn I have ever had. Can’t wait til it is sold nationally so I can get another bag here in texas!

San Diego Blend is my favorite. It's a healthier, yet better, take on Chicago style popcorn

I came across this awesome stand at my local farmers market over a month ago and I must say this is a gem! My husband and I love the San Diego blend popcorn. Ever since Lowell mentioned, "put them in the freezer"... we do! The popcorn is so tasty and crisp! Definitely stop by his booth and buy yourself a bag or two, you wont regret it!

This Popcorn can't be beat. I've tried many flavors and have very happy with every one. The story behind the popcorn mags me want to buy it all. Thank you for being a great human and fulfilling your mother's wish. I wish nothing but the best for you and yours.

Lowell Cohen, the amazing owner of Goldie Pops has created the best popcorn kernels I have ever tasted. They pop up larger than Orville Redenbacher and taste superior. I was in the San Diego area last March and took home a two pound bag; needless to say, I just ran out and had to reorder two 2 -- one lb bags. I can't wait to get going living my best life savoring this incredible snack!

Had a few samples at a farmer's market and ended up with 3 bags. Took their suggestion and placed all bags in the freezer and WOW! Amazing flavor and it didn't even taste cold. After eating handfuls, not one kernel was stuck in my teeth. That's a huge win in my book! Truffle parmesan, Nacho Jalapeno, and Cinnamon were our choices and would definitely get them again. Not too spicy, not too sweet, plenty of flavor.

I must say, this popcorn is pretty delicious! I bought the Cinnamazing flavor at the La Mesa Farmers market and I am not disappointed one bit. Lowell has the best customer service too! It’s great that I am able to try the popcorn before buying. I will definitely be returning next week to get his cheddar flavor. By the way, the popcorn does taste even better in the freezer!

This is the most addictive popcorn I’ve ever eaten in my life. I usually don’t like to spend so much money on popcorn because you can buy kernels for so cheap and flavor your own. But if I see Goldie pops I will always buy it. I tried it ONE time while visiting San Diego and I literally thought about it for TWO YEARS. I went back to San Diego to visit and I made it my mission to buy popcorn and I brought all my friends and they all bought like 2-3 bags. I can honestly eat these mindlessly specially when they are in the freezer. At first it’s like oh yeah it’s a nice tasting popcorn but then you find yourself gobbling it up like that chubby kid (Augustus?) from Charlie and the chocolate factory.

I love the kettle popcorn- the flavor is not too sweet, hits the spot, and is perfectly satisfying! With the freezer option, it’s also fun to bring to a party and tell your friend, “can you put this in the freezer?” Excited to try more of Lowell’s flavors. I work with him at the Little Italy Farmers Market, and he is such a wonderful and kind vendor!

Really good popcorn, but 'freezing' it first versus eating it a room temperature seems to be BS. Froze my bag for 24 hours and eating it frozen left most of the flavor out, after thawing it tasted it so much better and was a great product. It's possible some other flavors are significantly enhanced by freezing, but at least for the Dill/Vinegar branding don't bother.
