    This is a fun gourmet popcorn shop that offers more than 60 flavors. It is definitely hard to choose. The worker seemed a little irritated when we wanted to try some flavors, but there is no point in spending a lot of money for a flavor you will not like. I have had the Columbus mix before, which is addictive! It is my favorite. The Columbus mix has white cheddar and vanilla buttnernut. The perfect mix of salt and sweet. I tried the birthday cake, it was way too sweet for my liking. The pizza flavor I did not care for. I thought the white cheddar by itself was very salty. Nothing topped the Columbus mix for me, so ended up getting two medium bags of it. Medium bags are a pretty good size. Next time, I would like yo try some of the seasonal flavors and the mango chili.

    VERY TASTY AND VERY NICE SERVICE! This was one of the best customer service I've ever had. The popcorn was exquisite.

    Christmas haul!

    I absolutely love popcorn and Al's is delicious! I remember coming here as a kid and trying all the fun flavors. I'd kind of forgotten about them until we had a yelp event with them a while back. Then at Christmas when I was trying to shop for some difficult-to-shop-for people, I thought of Al's and knew popcorn would be the perfect treat! And a great way to support a local business. As expected, they were were really poppin' at the holidays (pun intended). You can order ahead online but I didn't think of it in time to do it before their deadline for Christmas. Next year I will be smarter. The staff is friendly and helpful. You can sample the flavors too. The Columbus mix and White Cheddar are probably my favorites so far. My husband loves the buckeye one. Spicy Queso was fun for something different but I probably wouldn't get it again- too many others I want to try!

    Ok, ok, I see you Al's Delicious Popcorn! Glad I finally paid you a visit and I know I'll be coming back! I first fell in love with popcorn after living in Chicago for a couple years. Garrett's popcorn was close to my office and the smells and yummy flavors eventually got me. I've been hooked on the Chicago style mix ever since. Now, after being in Columbus for a couple years, I can say I found my Garrett's replacement, and it might be even better! I got a medium bag the Chicago mix (of course!) and experimented with one of their funky flavors. I'm a sucker for anything lavender and when I saw they had a lavender and chai tea flavor, I was sold. I had to try it! So I grabbed up a small bag of that to try too. Needless to say, both are delicious and only a few days later, both are almost gone. I really appreciate the amount of flavor each piece of popcorn has. We all know we search for the cheesiest piece in the bag, the one with the most seasoning, similar to chips in a Doritos bag, gimme all the flavor! The staff here was beyond friendly, everyone was in masks, wearing gloves, and social distancing in the shop. There was plenty of parking, it was easy to find, and the smells will hook you once you walk in the door. Definitely a great holiday gift idea too. Shop local friends!

    Blueberry and mint chocolate chip popcorn

    Let me just say WOW! You open the door and are hot with a sugary, buttery, savory smell that takes you back to childhood, or the movies, home movies, your kitchen! It's magical! Very clean shop, organized well, tons of staff and more importantly, tons of popcorn to choose from! If you want sweet, savory, or salty this is the place!!! It was a hard choice, but I got mint chocolate chip (with melted chocolate on it), and blueberry because come on who doesn't want blue popcorn! It smells absolutely fabulous and tastes even better. Mint chocolate is my new favorite and I'll certainly be back here for the holidays and throughout the year(s)!!! Everyone needs to taste this!

    Al's is still the best damn popcorn in the land! One of my awesome employees gifted me $25 bucks to this place so I went and grabbed a couple of bags for my staff. To my surprise they had completed re-branded and made this place over. I was always kind of nervous about whether or not they were going to stay in business, but from the looks of it they are still much alive and kicking. The inside is beautiful, more professional and modern look. Don't get me wrong, I loved the previous look. But this one is nice as well! The GOOD: So many varieties and flavors, my favorite is the Peanut Butter Extreme! The BAD: Wish they had more locations. The UGLY: Wish they stayed open later! Other than that, you can't complain or go wrong with Al's Delicious Popcorn. Many people rant and rave about Garrett's in Chicago, but in my opinion Garrett's can't hold a candle to Al's!

    I just recently stumbled upon this business when I was given a small bag of Columbus mix popcorn as a gift and wow now I'm obsessed!! I stopped by the week of Christmas to place a holiday order. When I got there, the line was out the door (so I guess this place is actually a big deal..). I waited because I really wanted bags of popcorn for stocking stuffers/secret Santa gifts this year. They got through the line pretty quickly and the staff is incredibly kind for how busy they are during this time. They have over 60 flavors of popcorn, so definitely something for everyone. They also have a variety of sizes (bags to tins that hold three flavors). Next year I will definitely be ordering ahead of time online because some flavors were sold out when I went in. If you have a large order, I recommend checking out the online ordering rather than going in store and planning ahead! I know they ended up turning off the online ordering due to the high volumes. However, if you have last minute things to get, they are open and this popcorn is definitely worth the wait. I ended up buying the Chicago mix, Columbus mix, cheddar cheese, and vanilla butternut. I also heard that the spicy queso, chocolate bowl, and snicker doodle are awesome flavors too. I will be back after the holidays to try more and maybe even opt in to their monthly popcorn subscription!

    Um, OKAY Al's! This stuff is SO yummy. I've never been to the actual popcorn shop, but I received a small gift bag of Al's Popcorn from my apartment complex for the holidays. When I first received it, I thought the festive green and red coloring was very cute, but I was a bit hesitant about the flavor I was given. So I've had this little bag of popcorn sitting in my pantry for the past two weeks, just thinking to myself, "Vanilla Butternut popcorn? Sounds weird." Guys, IT'S NOT WEIRD and it's SO good! I was very pleasantly surprised when I finally had a taste. You can definitely pick out the notes of both traditional butter flavor as well as the slightly sweeter vanilla, but none of the flavors are overpowering whatsoever. I'm kind of shocked, but they really mesh together well and make for a delicious treat. I'm on board! I'll definitely be stopping by the shop the next time I'm in the area to pick up some treats for friends and family. Awesome work, Al's!

    My first venture into Al's was for a free Yelp Elite small popcorn deal. I tried my Salted Caramel, man it was GOOD, so I went right back - one can never have too many goodies to satiate over the holidays, right... I was even more intrigued with all their flavors of popcorn, so I got a few more bags of different flavored popcorn to take home for the coming low-key holiday weeks. I've known about Al's for several years, but I never tried their flavored popcorn. Naturally, I was always quizzical, so I was excited when this Yelp Columbus Elite perk event came to fruition. They have lots, and lots, and lots of flavors to pick from; something like over 40 savory, salty, spicy and sweet (duh!). Their Bethel location is on the smaller size, but there's double, maybe triple the amount of space behind the counter (where all the magic happens, folks!). From the looks of the back-room hustle and bustle when I was there, they must do a fantastic online/shipping business; they were in the process of loading a delivery van to the brim when I was there, so there's your reassurance. Three menu boards full of flavored popcorn to choose from ("Original", "Cheese & Sweet", "Specialty"). Price is based on bag/tin size; several sized bags to pick from. They've got a good system for bagging their freshly baked concoctions: Giant drawers line the entire walls and floor space; big plastic tubs/bins are in teach drawer, and those house the different flavored popcorn. The popcorn is flavored and baked on the spot, so I'm sure you can get lucky and get popcorn hot outta the oven, mmmmm! I chose Salted Caramel (obviously!), Buckeye (I'm feverishly addicted to pb in any form), and Caramel Cashew. I wanted to try the Almond Pecan Delight, but they were out and baking more currently; I didn't have enough time to wait, so I'll definitely go back (twist my arm, wink wink!). The Salty Caramel is delish!! I've never eaten caramel corn that's been so darn covered in the sweet liquid! Most popcorn is half-n-half - just tossed in their caramel mixup, still showing plenty of the fluffy white popcorn. Al's covers it, and I mean CO-VERS every inch of every single puff. That's value, folks! I'm a peanut butter addict, so I don't even need to say anything about the Buckeye, except BUY. IT. NOW. And the Caramel Cashew? Salty meets Sweet, long walks on the beach, marriage, happily ever after, you know the story. If Al's was eHarmony, I'd totally get on that list for a date with their popcorns candidates!!

    What a treat Al's is! I had the pleasure of offering some of their delicious flavored popcorn to my guests at an event, and the whole process was excellent. Upon walking in, the space is open and clean with a long counter and a pretty big back-of-house area. There is a large board on the left side with a list/sample jar of all of their flavor offerings so you can see what they look like. They keep a backstock of almost everything, so if you see something on the board that you like, you can ask them to bag some up fresh for you. They have tons of intriguing, delicious flavors like Lavender and Chai, which is of course purple. For my event, I was able to call ahead and order the quantity that I needed. Each 'large' bag comes split into two different bags, and you can opt for the heat-sealed bags to guarantee a longer shelf-life, which is what I did. I ordered their Vanilla Butter flavor because they said it was the most popular, and they were happy to customize it and make it red for me! It was absolutely amazing and I ended up with enough to use at not just the one event, but the next one also. At both events, guests raved about how delicious the popcorn was, and I love the pop of color it added in all the photos. I will definitely be back for more popcorn in the future!

    Delicious and great customer service. We went close to Christmas so they were out of some flavors but they have such a selection.

    No trip to Columbus is complete without a trip to Jeni's for me. They had recently launched a lot…read moreof new to me flavors so I was excited to visit. Some of the new ones I tried was the tiramisu and key lime pie. The line moved fairly quickly, so even though it's a popular spot, we didn't have a super long wait. The prices are higher than other ice cream spots, but it is really good ice cream. There's a parking lot behind and a good amount of seating inside.

    Location: 1 W Bridge St. Dublin Ohio Website:…read morehttps://jenis.com Menu: see website Hours: see website Parking: free parking lot behind building If you like ice cream, you will love Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. If you love ice cream, like 'can't live without you' love for ice cream - Jeni's is a must. There are many locations - check the website to find your bliss. Sure, you may have seen a few pints in your local grocery store's freezer and that is well and good - but visiting a scoop shop gives you much more selection, including combining multiple flavors in a single bowl, waffle cone, or whatever delivery vessel is your preference. You enter the shop and are hit with the smell of fresh waffles being made and formed into ice cream envelopes. Then you focus on the ice cream case and all of the flavors. All. The. Flavors. If you are really in doubt, or simply cannot decide - free samples are available. You can make this the perfect experience by carefully choosing your order. As for me, I go a little 'mavericky' and decide between 2 and 3 scoops and simply choose what sounds interesting. I like the non-edible, basic bowl, which comes with a delightful wedge of crisp waffle to indulge. I have never regretted a single choice. Sure. It's more expensive than a soft serve cone from some dairy den - but it is a dozen times better and the price is similar to a slice of pie or restaurant dessert. Yes. A love of ice cream can rationalize anything. If you are dairy-free, there are a few flavor choices for you also. I highly recommend trying their seasonal flavors - they are inventive and absolutely fabulous.
