Located just under the Oceanside Pier; Poppin Duo has got the perfect handheld snacks when heading to the beach. They've got a variety of unique flavors for their KettleCorn. I recommend their Watermelon & Tajin blend and I also love Chocolate & Banana. I forgot to mention that they have fresh-squeezed lemonade made to-order. I appreciate the flavor blends of the kettlecorn and lemonade to satisfy the sweet & salty. It's the perfect way to beat the heat on your way to the beach! I love that Poppin Duo also supports our local community. I've seen the owner buying from local vendors at our market. Local Supporting Local!! Service is fast & friendly and there's always Free Samples to try. There's no seating; so just grab-n-go! Just look for the bright red & yellow kiosk under the Oceanside Pier and grab a bag while you're their!!

The Lowells make the absolute best gourmet popcorn around. We literally went to the Farmer's Market…read morein Hillcrest JUST to get some more of Goldie Pops' San Diego Blend as a gift for family members. And of course we had to grab a few more flavors for ourselves. So far the San Diego Blend is my personal favorite - Sharp Yellow & White Cheddar Cheeses, but also has a hint of sweetness that compliments the cheese, without being overpowering. We have also tried Goldie's Gourmet Kettle Corn, Salt & Vinegar, Home Theater, and the Dillicious. Dillicious was a surprisingly addicting flavor as the tangy salty pickle flavor combined with a hint of sweetness was shockingly tastey, couldn't put it down. Each of these are flavored perfectly to not outshine the corn itself, but rather to compliment. When I start eating a bag I literally cannot stop. And when they've been in the freezer for a little while it brings out the flavor even more! I never knew I'd like the taste of cold popcorn, simply because I never thought of it! Lol. We will be going back for more of Goldie Pops time and time again!

The employees were busily making popcorn on my first visit which was delicious to smell. I was greeted after a few moments of looking around with a little sample bag of their popcorn which was much appreciated. So many popcorn flavors to choose from and wonderful candy choices. I bought a few medium bags, one large bag, and some wonderful red licorice. "For the people saying the prices are steep; you're completely incorrect." Their prices were more than reasonable. My favorites so far are the caramel and the kettle corn. Branching out into some new flavors today like the cinnamon popcorn and one of the spicy flavors. I highly recommend this business.

They offer a lot of tasty popcorn flavors! The service was very friendly.

Chris made the kettle corn the morning of our party so it would be fresh. He has so many flavors, but I chose classic, strawberry, blue raspberry, and green apple to match the colors of my party theme. Everyone loved it! This is not your typical mall kettle corn. It's really light and crispy, not stale and sticky. Plus it's just the right amount of sweet for those who don't want their kids eating candy at a party or the adults who don't partake in the extreme sugar rush of birthday cake and fruit punch. Chris also offered us the option of setting up at our party and making it fresh for everyone. Unfortunately we already had a taco caterer so we were limited on space, but I'll definitely keep that in mind for our next event. I got so many compliments on what a great idea the kettle corn was. He even makes carmel flavor which might be my next personal order. :)

There was a wait of course but we were told there was open seating at the bar area. It was busy but I noticed there were a lot of families with kids so I didn't feel as out of place bringing my baby. We were able to find a table in the bar area thankfully and our waitress was amazing. Unfortunately, I forgot her name but she was so friendly, gave great recommendations from the menu and was very attentive. It's hard to come across that kind of service these days so I really appreciated it. The food was pretty good. We got the steak that came pre sliced with flaky salt and a side of zhoug sauce...so good. The artichokes with the aioli were also very good. Brussel sprouts were good but prob my least favorite of the 3. The vibe and ambience was great and there were ocean views, I would def recommend.

On July 4th at 5pm, I visited the rooftop bar by the pool area of the hotel we booked for the…read moreholiday weekend. Instead, I had a highly unprofessional experience with bartender Eric. I simply wanted to ask what he was serving and clarify the seating/pool arrangement, including any differences for hotel guests versus outside visitors. Instead of answering or letting me finish a single sentence, Eric repeatedly talked over me, curtly stating it was "sold out" with no explanation. When I tried to understand what exactly was sold out (the hotel, the pool, the rooftop bar, or seating), he continued interrupting and directing me to the hostess stand. He even scolded me that he had already repeated himself four times, while adding that I wasn't asking the question that mattered although he never let me finish a sentence. The entire interaction felt dismissive and almost hostile and condescending (insinuating I can't understand because of my ethnicity and that he was actively trying to make me leave rather than provide basic service or information) It was especially disappointing on a holiday when hospitality standards should be at their best. No amount of busyness excuses such rude, impatient, and condescending behavior toward a guest who was simply trying to ask a reasonable question. The hostesses were extremely nice and explained to me the difference between cabana, restaurant, and the pool seating for hotel guests vs non guests. Shame that staying at the hotel, we haven't been able to utilize any of the amenities
