    Icecream
    Morganne M.

    Exceptional flavors of popcorn and these make great gifts. We also stopped in for ice cream and the service was great. It's a little hole in the wall but definitely worth the stop if it's not too busy!

    There are two foods in this world which everyone should love. If you don't love pizza or you don't love ice cream, I just don't know if we could be friends. Unfortunately, besides being amazing, the other thing that those two foods have in common is that it is really easy to mess up something so wonderful. Far too often you go into an ice cream shop only to find that they have either tried way too hard to make really strange flavors or they haven't tried all and simply have the most generic ice cream there is. Not here. This shop has some of the most incredible flavors I have tasted. The proportions of ingredients are perfect. No one flavor in an ice cream overwhelms the other so that when you take a bite you can taste everything that you are supposed to taste. As far as giving you suggestions as to what to try. Personally, it's ice cream. It is all amazing. However, if you really want to nail me down with a recommendation I would suggest the "This @&$# Just Got Serious." Probably my all-time favorite ice cream.

    You know the place is great when you can get popcorn, ice cream, and unique sodas in one spot! This is my go-to for ice cream and favorite place to get it in CR!

    Stocking Stuffers!

    My favorite cheese over caramel popcorn! Sharing with my favorite people at Christmas

    Love this place!!! I ordered bulk popcorn for Christmas and it was shipped quickly! Bill was quick with communication even when I'm sure this is a very busy time. Quality product, outstanding customer service!!! If you haven't tried Almost Famous Popcorn , you are missing out!!!!

    Firey cheese over caramel -- BRING IT BACK!!!!

    If you're looking from a change from Dairy Queen or Parlor City on 42nd street - hop down to Almost Famous. Their ice cream flavors are always changing and always good. Pro tip: you can get a pint with half one flavor and half of another flavor. Some of my favorites are Kitty Kitty Bang Bang (cheesecake ice cream, raspberry swirl, chocolate chunks) and their Carrot Mango sorbet. That's right. Carrot. Try it. As far as popcorn, the selections can be variable. My favorite, hands down, is the cheddar over caramel (caramel corn coated in delicious yellow cheese powder). They have had limited edition Firey cheese over caramel. That is literally the most delicious thing I've ever eaten... I just wish they had it available more often. The service is fair. I've gone in several times and the teens behind the counter don't say anything or wait for you to ask them for help. Not rude, just not friendly. Overall, awesome place and an asset to the newbo neighborhood.

    For sale: partially eaten bag of overly seasoned popcorn.

    If you go the grocery store and get a bag of plain, pre-popped popcorn and dump half a bottle of white cheddar seasoning on it, you'll get a similar result and spend a lot less. Hopefully the other flavors are better but the white cheddar was disappointing. For premium popcorn I recommend CornFusion or Iowa Popcorn Company in Marion.

    Fudge! $3.50 per square... yum!

    This place is amazing. They let you try the ice cream before you buy it to make sure you get worth what you pay for.

    The first thing you'll notice is how small the kernels are. The window packaging is ideal for…read moreshowing off those tiny kernels. When you open the package, the scent is the essence of fresh corn. I have a little movie-style popcorn machine at home and the Tiny But Might Popcorn pops really well in it with very little waste of un-popped kernels. I think the bigger kernels get pushed out too quickly when the corn starts to pop resulting in two to three tablespoons of un-popped kernels. Tiny But Mighty Popcorn will maybe have 5-10 un-popped kernels left. Even so, the kernels are still soft enough to crunch on like a corn nut but smaller. The kernels expand to about 2/3 the size of regular popcorn, but the flavor is just out of this world! You can actually taste the corn in every kernel. Another variation I tried was I using bacon drippings (a sustainable practice in my household to try to use every part of the animal) instead of oil and just sea salt to taste. The essence of smoky pork flavor and the sea salt brought out more of the natural corn flavor. It's just amazing!

    I had their white cheddar popcorn product while on a camping trip. It was delicious. At first I…read morewas surprised by the small kernels but the smell and flavor were amazing. This is a great product and I strongly recommend it. Update 11/29/2012 -- I visited Farmer Gene and purchased some sea salt popcorn as well as white cheddar flavored popcorn. It was fantastic. These are some really friendly folks and it was fun to visit their facility.
