Judy Shop - Them Besties - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The place is filled with nic tacs, a little of this & a little of that then throw some crack seeds in there! Wish it was more organized but it's not! It kinda reminds me of the old Cornets. Everything crammed into a small spot! Lady was just sitting there waiting for someone to ask for help or crack seeds.....lol! I won't be coming back I felt cluttered & tight but some people liked it I guess! I was hoping to find some popcorn but alas I didn't see any or maybe there was but I couldn't find it! read more

Purchased 3 items. 1. 1/4 seedless sweet li hing mui. She said the weight is a little over. I said no problem (thinking maybe a buck or so) 2. 1/4 li hing mango. 3. 1/4 Wet li hing seed. What should have cost closer to $24 bucks was now $31. I guess that happens when everything is "a little over". Sweet seedless mui 2 1/2 stars li hing mango 0 stars wet li hing mui 3 1/2 stars read more

I popped into this shop after a long spell but my dinner reservation I arrived early so I went to it to my amazement! There's Chinese crack seed which is very rare in the Kalihi area. There's another one across the Dillihngham monorail construction site but it's not local crack seed I grew up with. One must go there to enjoy their shop galore of goodies! It's very tempting if you bring your children. Lots of parking but I avoid lunch time there's none even on the street! There's so many eateries there to enjoy! It's in the Dillihngham City Square the Mall! read more

As I mentioned before, I love this place! Judy and her daughter are really amazing and so sooo sweet. I texted the store phone a few days before I needed my popcorn to place my order and it was sooo simple, affordable, and hassle free. I did have to pay ahead of time, due to some people to order then no pick up, but paying in advance also gave me a piece of mind knowing that I secured my leis for the day. On the day of my pick up, the leis were ready and laid out with the exact colors I wanted. I was soooo excited to give the leis to our boys! Stop by Judy's shop for your popcorn lei needs, or just anything! :) read more

Judy Shop - Crispy Pickled Plums, Li Hung Plums, Orange & Lemon Chewable Tabs - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

What led me to this cracked seed shop was my Yelp buddies - Iris T., & da FAMOUS Auntie Nadine C. who had posted some great reviews, and pics of this snack & gift shop called - Judy Shop. I've been on a quest to look for Li Hing Baby Cherry Seed but it appears that most cracked seed stores no longer carry this item. I've been searching for sometime now, but have been unsuccessful (insert Sad Panda Face here). If you ever find the item I'm lookin' for, let a Bruddah know! Anyways, Judy Shop is another store that specializes in the - snacks & small gift trinket game. The cute little store is located at the City Square Shopping Center, just a few doors down from the Famous - Kamehameha Bakery. Upon walking into the store this afternoon, I was greeted by a friendly lady. The first thing I did when I talked to her was ask if they had a dry "Li Hing Cherry Baby Seed". Unfortunately they did not have what I was looking for, but I must say that the service here was ultra primo excellent as the lady who helped me was a professional customer service clerk. She was very friendly, & offered me plenty samples of the various types of cracked seeds they sell here. Upon tryin' a Bayberry Seed, & Rainbow Cherry Seed, I ended up with what I know (I guess I'm a creature of habit)........da Seedless Li Hing Cherry - A.U.T.O.M.A.T.I.C.! Lol! The Li Hing Cherry was good, but a wee bit pricier (about $5.50 more than what I would normally pay at my regular cracked seed joint I regularly go to). If you're not into cracked seed like Bruddah Fran, this snack shop does sell other types of snacks like - popcorn, candy, and other items I probably missed while visiting here. A neat shop, because you can also buy charms, & other small gifts. Judy Shop is kinda like a one stop gift & snack shop! Cool! read more

I'm not sure what happened to my previous review. I know I gave the Judy Shop a high rating. Today, it's a different story. The lady behind the counter gave no greeting at all. Past the counter a few times while shopping, still no acknowledgment. My wife did buy something. It was a very different experience. Enjoy read more

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii... When I read Iris' review, I saw the word, "plushies" and had to investigate... Located at City Square, between Pancakes and Waffles and Kamehameha Bakery - and across from Young's Fish Market and Utage, free shared parking is much appreciated! The name of the store is a combination of two shops which were formerly at Ohana Hale Marketplace. I remember Charm Culture because I had bought a Brown and Cony (Line Friends) pillow there. The merchandise looked familiar, so, I asked - and yes! The popcorn/crack seed shop (Judy Shop) at Ohana Hale Marketplace was diagonal from Charm Culture! Of course, I had a thrill while browsing through all of the cute stuff. My first excitement came from seeing Sally (Brown's sister) in the window. (Too bad they didn't have any Cony items.) I wanted to get a Kuromi bag for my sister; My Melody for my neighbor; Hello Kitty for my cousin; etc. I ended up getting Cooky from BT21 and a pack of kawaii bunny red envelopes! Note: other merchandise includes hair accessories, costume jewelry, key chains, bracelets made from crystals, tote bags, and more! Remember that there is a check in perk from the Yelp app! I got a free drink from the refrigerator (I chose a bottled water). ...and - I got a stamp on the Loyalty Card for my purchase of $10 or more! Thank you! I will be back for that pickled mango and more of their famous colored popcorn and other crack seed! read more

Recently Ordered 11 Popcorn leis for Senior Night from this cute little shop. She was so nice to work with and was able to accommodate my order at yhe last minute. She didn't charge me extra for custom color Popcorn and even gave me a free Lei since I ordered more than 10. The Lei was $7.50/each and they suggested using the kettle Popcorn instead of fresh so that the Popcorn will stay fresh approx 2 weeks. LOL well we ended up eating that free Lei She gave us the next day. The Popcorn was good and price was good and a little cheaper than other places I looked at. It's a cute little shop and I also splurged on some good crack seed from the shop. Would definitely purchase from her again thanks! read more

Popped in this new to me shop when going to Thang's. They stock a bunch of plushies and knick knacks, but I was interested in finding the elusive baby seed that Fran C. has been searching for from back in the day. IYKYK! Haven't seen the OG type in forever! Any Yelpers out there know if baby seed is available? I ended up buying a bag of popcorn that the sweet worker recommended as it was just made earlier in the day. Boy was she right, the popcorn was crispy and delicious although I would have preferred a savory option. Not as sweet as it looked. It doesn't have a label so I don't know what flavor it is. Will be back when I have more time to browse the many crack seed options. There were many types of preserved seeds that I was not familiar with. Support this locally owned small business and stop by when you are in the area. Conveniently located across from Thang's with lots of free parking! read more

Was it fate or the only parking available...!? Maybe but that cute image of a giant bucket of popcorn is certainly eye-catching and it got me! Maybe cause it was late afternoon and I had the munchies well if so I'd caution you before you enter Judy Shop cause this shop has two names (Judy Shop & Charm Culture) because it's just that and something you just need to experience. Located in City Square Shopping Center near Pancakes & Waffles this shop has everything you need to create a gift set or just to help with your cravings. I walked in and just didn't know where to begin munchies or blingies I tend to go right and it was blingies lol! Scanning...scanning with so much to see I noticed they had some AirPod case which I was so excited as I've been struggling finding one which I got, they also have plushies, keychains, totes, and a lot accessories! Charm Culture does have a stamp card with a stamp for every $10 which you can redeem for a discount or free gift once you fill all 10 spots. Since it was late and already had a snack I passed on the goodies for now but know where I can have my sweet and salty fix which I'm excited but as I was leaving I noticed a rack of face masks! Not only they were individually wrapped but came in so many cute prints! Get salty and go shopping here at Judy Shop & Charm Culture! Thank you! read more

Nice and clean. I'm. It sure if the lady who was running the shop was the owner but she was very friendly. Freshly popped popcorn was nice and buttery. Highly recommend you try them out. I believe they are affiliated with the popcorn kiosk in the malls, at least that's what the man at the Pearl Ridge stall stated. So you know the quality is on point. Shop located next to the waffles and chicken place. read more

I have been coming here religiously ever since my friend gifted me a bag of 'vitamin c' dinosaur gummies. I'm not sure if it actually has any vitamin c in it, but I really like the taste and texture (it reminds me of Japanese rice candy!). When I actually visited Judy Shop to buy more bags of these gummies, I ended up walking out with a bag full of assorted gummy candies (dinosaurs, octupus, bears), popcorn, and a couple of keychain charms. They have a stamp card (separate cards for the gift shop side and the snack side) program, and service is very friendly. read more

I brought 5 popcorn leis and was greeted with such great enthusiasm and warmth. The customer service was amazing and the store was full of such a wonderful variety of products. I will be back this week to pick up the rest of my order. I felt so comfortable that I left without a receipt knowing that I would not have any problem when I return. I was treated like family and would definitely recommend this cute shop to anyone looking for that special gift for any occasion!!! Mahalo~Pua read more

I've been coming here about once a week for their fresh popcorn. I get a large, and just snack on it during the work week. I get the furikake, butter, and mochi crunch mix. It's really good, that I made the mistake of brining it home midweek, and it was devoured by my kids. I had to go a second time. They really love it as well. Christine and Judy are really sweet, so even more so why I return. My coworker usually buys their crack seed item, and I've tried it, and that is good too. Only thing, I don't remember what he gets, so I usually wait until he offers it in the office. read more

The cutest store I've ever walked into! If you're looking for gift ideas, this is the perfect place to be. They have accessories from earrings, necklaces to phone cases and bags! If you're stumped finding a gift idea for any occasion I highly recommend judy shop. Part of the shop is the gift shop, the other half of the store has crack candy and fresh popcorn. I personally love the lemon strips, they can be so addicting. Likewise, during graduation season; they can make popcorn leis with an order! See what I mean when I say it's a one stop shop for gifts for all ages?!? I absolutely love this place. read more

Order part two went just as smooth. Lei was ready on time and turned out nice. Great service! Thank you!

Found this small shop exploring one day early a couple of restaurants I really like. BWST DISCOVERY EVER!!!! Popcorn is light, fluffy, tasty, and always fresh made. The Staff is very friendly and I just love the vibe of the Charm Culture shop. We have recommended this shop to our friends and they have yet to disappoint anyone read more

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a connoisseur of crackseed. Crackseed, aka seeds and/or li hing mui, has been around the Hawaiian islands for decades and the best place to find them, IMO, are small mom and pop shops. Sadly, there aren't many of these shops anymore since the older generations have passed away, and the kids/grandkids don't want to take over the business. I'm not sure how long Judy Shop has been around however it IS, in fact , a FAMILY BUSINESS. I've been helped multiple times by both the owner, Judy (mom) and her daughter (lovely young girl). They take Customer Service very seriously there. They make sure to let every customer know that they will be right with them if they're in the middle of helping another customer. The store is very clean and filled with a lot of merchandise not only crackseed, but Japanese toys, cell phone accessories, jewelry, candy snacks AND I ALMOST FORGOT ANOTHER WONDERFUL THING- FRESH POPCORN. Made to order with tons of toppings to choose from! No need to go to the movies! Because we are besties now I'm gonna let you in on a little secret... They have the BEST LI HING MUI in town! Next time you're in the Kapalama area, make sure to check out Judy Shop... You won't be disappointed! Sorry, I was so excited to get my seeds and peach gummies I forgot to take pictures. I'm sure I'll be visiting them very soon and take some pictures to update this review! 8/12/23 UPDATE- I got you pics!!! Came to visit my favorite Snack Shop and got you some pics! read more

Good service and it's open late which is a bonus! Wish there was a tad more selection for crack seed but still so good

I went in to see if they had some old school licorice crack seed. The one that has the grass/hay looking things. They had it! This will be one of my go to places for crack seed. They also had other snacks, trinkets and gift baskets. read more

Super cute shop! Old school crack seed store with adorable trinkets too. Came in for popcorn leis which were large, with a variety of flavors. Very nice ribbons added as well. They were able to make 4 popcorn leis for me on the spot. The leis can be made with any color (i.e. school colors) which is a nice touch. Great service! Amazing find during grad season right now read more
