| - Hands down, the best gourmet popcorn anywhere. I don't know how much heroin they put in each batch, but I literally could not stop eating this stuff. I bought two small bags--about a quart and a half each--and they were both gone within three days. Disgusting (me) and transcendent (the popcorn).
It's a cool sort of cute-industrial aesthetic they have, with white-painted crumbling brick walls, huge stainless steel vats, and of course the old-fashioned popcorn cart which displays most of the varieties. It reminds me a lot of a fudge shop on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. The teenage staff could deploy a few more smiles, but ultimately, it's all about the product.
They sell a couple of savory and several sweet varieties, plus kettle corn which falls nicely in between. Flavors-of-the-week last week were hazelnut nutella and zesty ranch, both good; but I went with Cinnamon Toast and Chocolate Caramel. They sell the stuff in paper bags, plastic jugs, or handsome tins. They also offer coffee, soda, and fresh-squeezed lemonade.
They have a website with online ordering, so now that they've got me hooked, they will definitely be hearing from me again. It makes a great gift, and by the way, my birthday is coming up and Christmas is always right around the corner.
