Alternative Restaurants to Mary's Popcorn
Cow’s Ice Cream
Best for a rich, cold dessert. Go for world-famous, super-premium Prince Edward Island ice cream scooped into warm waffle cones. It differs by serving a frozen dairy treat instead of light, crunchy popped corn kernels.
Beavertails
Best for heavy, hot sweets. Go for iconic Canadian hand-stretched fried dough pastries loaded with rich toppings like chocolate and fruit. It differs by providing a hot, filling fried dessert rather than a light, shareable bagged snack.
Hankki – Korean Street Food
Best for a savory, hot quick meal. Go for ultra-crispy fried Korean rice dogs and comforting street-food lunch bowls on the go. It differs by operating as a hot fast-casual kitchen rather than a specialty snack-food retail shop.
