    Small bags and snack size! Perfect party starters and takeaways!
    Jessica W.

    Ok, so first of all, I'll start with the most boring part of going to the store: Take the kids, take the teenagers, take your GEN-X gal pals... it's a WHOLE VIBE with the candy shop experience! They've got all the nostalgia you'll need to make you want to plan a slumber party or a fort campout. There are even these cute fishing line marshmallow roasting contraptions you'll not be able to leave without. Now, on to the best part. THE POPCORN!!! It's safe to say (in the voice of David Rose). I.AM.OBSESSED.WITH.THIS They've got Sooooo many flavors and I haven't even begun to crack the surface. Just made my third trip there for popcorn must haves and Im already thinking of what kind I'll get next. The size options are equally endless. They make cute snack sized bags you can ask them to personalize for you OR just get a bunch to put inside goody bags or out on tables at an event! I absolutely LOVE the "Austin Mix"! It's the perfect combo of the sweet and salty. Caramel and cheese mix. "Zilker Mix" is pretty yummy and perfect for someone with a hankerin' for chocolate. The caramel makes it a confectionery delight! Have kiddos to impress? Get the CUPCAKE flavor!! Holy Moly, it's a white chocolate sprinkle celebration for your taste buds! The S'mores is a fave with my kiddos too! We had the Garlic Parmesan last week for movie day at home and while I happily inhaled most of it, I'll add in that my husband thought it was a bit too buttery. If you pre-order they can make you any flavor. They've got special flavors each month that they highlight and it looked like more than a dozen freshly popped and curated flavors to choose from to go. You know, when you need that popcorn NOW! Enjoy!

    I am in love with this popcorn.

    I had no idea they had a physical location. All I knew is that I had one of their goodie bags at my work retreat and wound up eating it when back in Florida. This was a major regret if only because had I know how delicious this popcorn would be, I'd have gotten more! Well, no matter. I took a photo of my goodie bag and searched online to find that I could get their popcorn delivered personally to my home. They happily deliver nationwide. Woohoo. I can get my Austin mix, which is composed of white cheddar and sea salt caramel. Yum. I can also try other flavors, but I'll stick to the Austin mix, seeing as I ordered a tin for myself and a sampler of four different popcorn varieties to send out in a care package to France. Popcorn, unlike chocolate, doesn't spoil so easily. That and I just love this popcorn place so much that I couldn't resist. Did I mention I spent over $60 which gave me free shipping and am now anxiously waiting on the goods? Yes, I may have a new obsession.

    Great candy selections. Sodas The clerks here were very friendly. They had popcorn flavors of the week. I went with garlic parmigiana. I tried it when I got home but had to toss it because it was stale. I'll try a sample first next time. Great gift ideas.

    Bush won't like this but Gore may
    Fox E.

    Not to be confused with Austin Powers Popcorn, which makes you scream YEAH BABY and gives you bad teeth, this company is Gourmet, which reflects that the Bush family will never run for another election, but Gore-may. It's pretty expensive and a lot of it tastes shelf-stable and some of the flaves are just disgusting. If you get one of the better ones, you're in luck, cuz it's actually pretty good. Depending on which kind you have. A lot of it is just crap is for hipsters and people with no taste - like if you think that cereal milk flavoured stuff is excellent. Other flavours are nice and for example the caramel type ones are good. I'm not a big fan of the chocolate they use on their popcorn, but it's the USA. There's no chocolate made here that's amazing and in fact there's hardly any that's even good. The prices are kind of high here as well. Having said all of that, it's really great to have a little local place making handmade popcorn small batches so I have to give them a good rating but I would raise them to 5 if they were a tiny bit cheaper and used slightly better chocolate - for example some of the imported Swiss chocolate is a lot better than whatever it is they're using here, but at least it's not as sh** as Hersheys.

    WFH package
    Katie B.

    The WFH package was my last week present to myself this week and I must say, I nailed it! What a fun package to forget you sent yourself but to end up on your doorstep! You can save yourself $10 if you go pick it up at the store but if you want the convenience of not moving from your couch, delivery is clutch. I didn't get to choose the chocolate bar but that's just something that they throw in for fun so although it's not my personal flirty, it's still cute!

    Shiloh A.

    I used them for a popcorn bar at my wedding! Delicious popcorn with lots of variety. They offer great pricing for large quantities. Made payment easy so someone else could pick up and had everything ready on time. We use them at my work as well and they do a great job with every new project! Highly recommend and will use in the future!

    My favorite popcorn shop in North Austin! If I'm coming into town and take Mopac I will usually detour to this location for their plethora of savory flavors which might be one of the most extensive around! You can sample prior to purchase and staff are always very helpful. While they have a lot more than just popcorn, that's all I've ever purchased because I can't get enough of it!

    Brent G.

    Such nice staff and absolutely delicious popcorn. The premium flavors are a bit expensive, but taste so good. They do shipping of gift tins for you too. Also they have a pretty rocking candy shoppe. Highly recommended.

    Look. At. All. That. Candy.
    Mark M.

    Move over Tiff's Treats. Take a step aside Edible Arrangements. Nothing Bunt Cakes--you've got competition. Aside from becoming a personal addiction, this will be my go-to place for gifts and treats in the future. I am one hundred fifty percent IN LOVE with Austin Gourmet Popcorn. They opened in fall of 2015, but I've just not finally had a chance to visit their store. Love at first sight. Love at first smell. And, of course, love at first taste. This is a store that makes dozens upon dozens of homemade popcorn flavors. Think caramel coated in dark chocolate, white chocolate and sea salt. Think strawberry cheesecake. Think birthday cake. And for savory, think srirachi lime, consider dill pickle, and try to taste cajun. Extraordinary. So fresh, crisp, flavorful, and unique. You've never EVER had popcorn like this. And in addition to popcorn, they have shelves upon shelves of unique candy that you will not be able to find anywhere else in Austin (in addition to specialty sodas) (see my photos). And they will let you sample it all. The staff is as friendly and as helpful as they come. They have great recommendations and know their products well. They do amazing gift wrapping (see my photo). We didn't plan on it, but we ended up staying almost 30 minutes (time flies when you're having fun). They don't have delivery, but you would be crowned Queen or King if you used Favor or Postmates to have Austin Gourmet Popcorn at your next quarterly meeting, baby shower, or in your holiday gift basket. Oh, and are you thinking "I'm in South Austin, that's way too far." It's not. It's worth the drive.

    I came in a little while back to purchase some popcorn!!!! I love popcorn and supporting a local…read morebusiness, so coming here was a win-win. There is more than one type of popcorn. The two primary types of popcorn are regular or classic popcorn and gourmet popcorn. Regular popcorn is characterized by its simplicity and affordability, while gourmet popcorn offers a more sophisticated and diverse range of flavors, often with premium ingredients. Gourmet popcorn typically includes premium popping corn, high-quality oils, and a diverse range of seasonings and coatings. Ingredients can vary widely depending on the flavor, ranging from truffle oil and parmesan for savory options to caramel and chocolate for sweet varieties. The popcorn served here by definition is gourmet. I purchased the banana pudding popcorn. This popcorn has a creamy texture after the initial crunch of the popcorn dissipates. This particular flavor may be ideal for those who enjoy snacks that are sweet (banana pudding sweet) and yet still provide the crunch many seek when looking for a snack. #supportlocal

A few months ago I was in a snacky mood but really didn't want to eat the kids' crummy school-safe granola bars. Deep in the bowels of the pantry was the glorious bag of banana puddin' popcorn, which I ate in its entirety. It was all I could do to not cut open the bag and lick the banana puddin' dust from it. (I did not do that. I'm a strong, independent woman.) How do I describe this stuff? Sweet, salty, chewy with just the right amount of give. More flavorful than your average Cavendish but not cloying and fake like a Laffy Taffy. Flash forward three months and I'm still thinking about this stuff. I'm having a hard time justifying importing my personal snacks from Austin, but am already game-planning a bulk order for the holidays. Or a trip to Austin.

The entire experience lasts about 90 minutes, and they did start a few minutes late. They did a good job describing the cheeses, the other paired snacks, and the wine pairings. They also did a good job choosing a good variety of cheeses and giving good pairings. The table crackers are refilled throughout the tasting, but nothing else on the cheese plate is refilled. The setup was not quite what I expected. There are six tables that seat ~six people, so you're going to be sitting with strangers. You start by going around the room and introducing yourself and your favorite cheese, basically as an ice breaker to meet everyone there. It was a little noisy and not intimate for a 2-person outing. It felt much more like a social gathering, and I think it would be better as a friend meeting, group gathering, or even a team-building activity. It's also a good way to meet strangers if that's what you're looking for. You get a discount on in-store purchases, which is a nice bonus. You can also take your leftovers home, so don't feel compelled to eat the entire plate like I did! The only other issue was that cashing out took a long time at the end because their POS system wasn't working well.
