An edible souvenir is a great way to round
out your visit, and the hand-popped, gourmet
popcorn and small-batch fudge at E.C. Pops
is a perfect option. Their delicious popcorn
flavors range from classic butter or cheese,
to nontraditional combinations, like Old Bay
Caramel and Loaded Baked Potato.

The mouthwatering creations from
Sweet Cascades Chocolatier are another
great choice for a sweet treat! From their
traditional truffles and crème centers, to
more unique confections, such as Old Bay
chocolate crabs and chocolate covered
bacon, all of their items are made right in
their shop in Ellicott City. And you’ll be sure
to find something to love when you visit
Maryland’s first tea farm, Heron’s Meadow
Farm. Take home one of their quality teas,
grown and processed locally, and a one-of-akind piece of stoneware pottery to enjoy it in.
One of the many highlights of Howard
County is the diversity and celebration of
culture. You can experience that firsthand
at Southwest Connection/Silver Arrow
Fudge Shop, a Native American jewelry, gift,
and candy store. You’ll find authentic jewelry,
pottery, house wares, and more! Throughout
the year you’ll also find more than 100 flavors
of their award-winning, homemade fudge on
rotation, as well as candy, cookies, Salt Water
Taffy, and other sweet treats! The 3rd is a
mixed-use hub, providing a gathering place
for community members, while showcasing
local businesses owned and operated by
women of color. Their space features two
cafes, several different work spaces that can be
reserved, a commercial kitchen, and a store.
