Bar Harbor Popcorn

Sweet mother of mercy, where has this been all my life? I have to say, I’m not usually a fan of flavored popcorns, but one nibble of the wild blueberry flavor and I was positively hooked. I liked it so much that when a Japanese co-​worker visited Maine before he flew back to Tokyo, I sent him to this store to pick up up a fresh supply. He got a tub for himself and just recently told me he had a dream he was buying more… so now I need to see if Bar Harbor Popcorn ships international. You better believe I’ll be ordering for domestic holiday gifts. Seriously, I can’t rave about this popcorn enough!

Such good popcorn with very unique flavors. Great service and reasonable prices. They also have frozen lemonade.

Yummy and the owner was really nice. Stop by for a snack to munch on while you walk around town. Just don’t drop popcorn on the floor in the knickknack store down the block, like my boyfriend. Oops!

Must try this place! We went here after having a horrendous customer service experience at CJ’s ice cream and this place was a breath of fresh air. The owner was so kind, helpful and patient as we tried the different flavors of their freshly made popcorn. You must try the blueberry flavored popcorn! I know it sounds a bit strange, we were skeptical at first but then after trying it we were hooked. We thought it would taste artificial but it was soo delicious and tasted like fresh blueberries! The owner explained to us his process of making it. We got one bag of blueberry/​caramel mixed and one of cheddar, both were delicious but we wished we got a bucket of the blueberry popcorn as we inhaled it right after we left! Highly recommend this place.

Very amazing popcorn. When we walked in, the owner was making the blueberry popcorn coating, which was a thick paste of blueberry made out of real Maine wild blueberry. The popcorn were all big and fluffy, super professional grade. A big thumb up!
Came back here for the second time after trying it 3 years ago. They might easily be the best popcorn on the east coast!

We cannot say enough good things about the popcorn at the BH Popcorn shop. It is run by a couple and their daughter and they make certain the quality of the popcorn is as high as can be. They use very high quality products to coat the popcorn with blueberries, maple, caramel (our favorite) and several other varieties. All the popcorn is popped and coated there. They are continually made throughout the day so the popcorn is always fresh. The product is very reasonable, and you can get a discount if you want to refill one of their tubs.

Bar Harbor Popcorn is a small shop with no place to sit. The counter doubles up as popcorn tanks, and they welcome sampling of their wares. Their popcorn flavors are tasty and their corn pop up fluffy and round.
With their popcorn going for $ 5.50 for a small, $ 8 for a medium tub (10oz), and $ 13.50 for large (28 oz), I went big to take home and asked for a combo of blueberry and maple. The flavors were scooped such that they sat in layers, so I had to eat enough maple before I could shuffle the rest aside so I could reach the blueberry.
They told me the tub was airtight and would keep the popcorn fresh for a week.
I’ll have to remember to bring my tub the next time I head out to Bar Harbor, as they offer a dollar off on tub refills.

Excellent popcorn — and it stays fresh in the buckets. I brought back a bucket for my office, and we ate it 4 days after it was made. Very friendly, too.

Amazing flavors in a quaint little shop. I highly recommend combing the Maple and Blueberry popcorn flavors into a single bag — the result tastes like a delicious blueberry pancake. The blueberry is made from blueberry purée and, boy, it tastes like blueberry! Finally, the owner is super nice and incredibly helpful.

An excellent product; the blueberry is the perfect blend of savory and slightly sweet. Absolutely addictive, even if you are not a huge popcorn fan. I have not had anything else like it — would make a great gift too!

We stopped at BH Popcorn during our food tour and were greeted by the owner, along with two containers of popcorn. Yum, the popcorn was delicious! The maple was my favorite. The owner was very knowledge and passionate about his product. We brought a tub home and it didn’t last more than thirty minutes. Definitely a stop for popcorn lovers plus buying local, yay!

A requirement for anyone spending time at Bar Harbor. Serves amazing popcorn. Perfect for a sunny day. Wonderfully friendly staff, whom we spent nearly an hour chatting with on a quiet rainy day as we sampled all varieties of popcorn. I highly recommend the Maple flavor. Caramel is also always a hit. In was hard pressed not to return the next day and get a second bag of popcorn for our hike!

Holy. Popcorn. This place could only be better if they set up shop in my kitchen. Come on in and be greeted by smiling happy faces who are eager to get you to sample the delicious morsels of popped corn. They offer 4 flavors which are proudly displayed in aquarium-​sized tanks: Blueberry, Sweet & Salty, Caramel and Maple. The popcorn itself are large, round and puffy with hardly any kernels, so you can truly enjoy the mouth watering goodness that comes with each piece. It was hard to choose which flavors would be coming home with me in the medium sized $ 8 tub ($ 1 off refills if you bring the tub back!) but I finally went for a mixture of blueberry and maple. BEST decision EVER. I’m actually sitting here devouring the popcorn as I write this, so I forsee a trip back to Bar Harbor Popcorn in the very near future!

I was sceptic about a popcorn store and I walked in and saw flavors like blueberry and maple and I though eww no way, but I like to think myself adventurous so I gave them a try. AMAZING!

Recently visited and purchased a medium sized container split between Maple and their Sweet Salty popcorn. The man who helped me (I believed the owner) was knowledgeable, passionate, and a pleasure to deal with.
I think the pricing is pretty on point with other popcorn places I’ve been to, and the flavor and quality is great. They don’t have a lot of flavor options, but this is a true case of quality over quantity. The maple popcorn is made with real maple syrup, and it’s sweet and slightly sticky. The salty sweet is a less harsh version of kettle corn; I LOVE the bites of salty and bites of sweet mixed into each handful. They did offer us samples, which was great, and they did give me two flavors in my container, which is also a great option.
The shop is very small, but cozy, and located right across the street from a nice little park with benches.
I will be bringing my popcorn tub back for future refills.

This is without a doubt the most sensational popcorn I’ve put in my mouth. I love the different flavors.
Blueberry throws your taste buds one way. Maple goes the other. Oddly the most popular flavor is caramel, by a nose, but that just goes to show the other two are clearly underrated.
I’ve never had popcorn quite like this. It’s just really impressive how the blueberry and maple combines on the edge of the popcorn to create a unique texture that’s underpinned by high quality popcorn.
A must do experience!

This is more of an old-​fashioned popcorn shop, not the newfangled type with 57 outlandish flavors (although those can be fun and tasty too). They offer four varieties: plain/​butter, caramel, maple, and blueberry. They use real Maine maple syrup and real Maine wild blueberries, and those flavors are subtle and fresh tasting, not sugary. Plus the kernels themselves pop up huge and fluffy.
The plain popcorn seemed stale, but I bought a bag of the blueberry and enjoyed it over the next several days. It’s a delicious local twist on a classic product.

I stumbled on this place while on vacation simply because we parked in front of the store. Boyfriend loves blueberries so we decided to check it out after we grabbed dinner and walked around for a bit. Like the other reviews stated: they have 3 flavors — maple, caramel, and blueberry.
The maple is boyfriend’s favorite. The sweetness is light so that it never (and I mean never) gets sickening. In terms in taste, think of a perfectly roasted marshmallow. Literally the best caramelization I’ve ever had on a popcorn.
The caramel flavor was very good. Normally I’m not a fan of the overly sweet caramel but it was definitely worth trying here. Again they find the balance of sweet very well so that you don’t get too tired of it. The owner said it was the best selling flavor, with blueberry a very close second, and maple a very close third.
Finally, my absolute favorite flavor: blueberry! Like other reviewers, I also hate the artificial blueberry taste so I’ve always steered clear of getting blueberry flavored things. But the blueberries used on this popcorn are the real deal. Maine wild blueberries are the best. So sweet and perfect! You can see bits of blueberries on the popcorn and you feel like you’re eating an actual blueberry.
We got the $ 7 (medium) bucket and it lasted us a good amount of time. They pack the bucket full to the point where it pushes against the lid when closed. Definitely a good deal and a must go-​to when in Bar Harbor!

Definitely a highlight of downtown Bar Harbor. I love that they don’t try to over do it by having so many flavors or anything pre-​packaged. They are generous with samples, and incredibly helpful. All 3 flavors were GREAT! I would never normally be interested in blueberry popcorn because usually there is some type of articial flavoring in that. But not here! They use fresh, real blueberries to put on. We couldn’t decide so we got a bag of the three flavors mixed!
The husband and wife that owned it were great, we stayed and chatted with them for a while all about their business, etc. we loved it!

My wife and I went to Bar Harbor Popcorn during its first week in existence (which was last week)! What a great little shop in Bar Harbor with local, «Maine flavors.» The place only offers three different flavors — caramel corn, Maine wild blueberry and Maine maple — but boy, have they perfected them! In fact, the owners told us it took them around 6 months to tweak the recipes to get those flavors just right.
The Waymans (the owners) were very friendly, and told us how and why they started the shop in the first place. My wife and I were certainly able to reap the rewards, too! We sampled all three flavors, and ended up buying a bag of the blueberry. It’s so delicious! A very «Maine flavor.»
If and when we return to Bar Harbor, we’ll be sure to stop in for some more popcorn!
