Proper Popcorn

"I have to give this a one out of a five because when I came in the store, I always love to see the machine on the left do quotes or pictures and I came in all excited and these young workers were starting at me as if they would be weirded out by me, because I am autistic and carry a lot of stuff. They weren’t even smiling and were talking so quietly, which kind of sounded like they weren’t as nice, especially to somebody who wants to enjoy the time of her life going into a store, looking for some cute stuff and also getting popcorn like me"

"Overpriced. Bad quality. So much flavors but nothing stands out. Also, because of having so much choices, they can’t keep up a good quality check. Atmosphere also sucks, there’s nowhere to sit and chat, just buy popcorn and leave. If there’s really no serving happening, why is it so expensive? Mostly because they are in a very expensive strip. Things are either too salty or too sweet. Get ready to get robbed if you dare. It’s like $5-7 for their smallest bag (pint size). One star for crafting a popcorn shop. But it seriously needs some improvement."

"All I have to say is WOW. This is a really neat place to come to for a great treat (that is so out of the norm but awesome!) People usually go after dinner or out just for ice cream or frozen yogurt and even now cookie dough, but this is specialty popcorn that they bag right in front of you for what you want. Different sizes and many different flavors to choose from along with nostalgic candy and glass bottle pop! (Soda) They also have other merchandise that is local and beautiful! Forgive me because I'm not good with names, but I believe the owner was there and his brother is the magic maker in the back (classically trained chef come here to make some gourmet popcorn; I'd do it!) Very nice owners and employees especially with the samples which usually places don't like when you ask for samples but these guys wanted you to! Shortened: awesome gourmet popcorn, something different and great owners. Go give them a try!! Oh and the flavors we got were strawberry cheesecake, white chocolate, caramel and cheddar mixed and cherry cordial (seasonal flavor but OH SO GOOD!) Thank you guys!"
