This was the popcorn ordered for a conference I attended at Goldman Sachs, one of the small businesses that they supported. Three different crimes were available and I tried all three. Overall each of the popcorn's had great popped kernels with very little unpopped corn at the bottom. Each came in a very large chain with Berco's name on it. The truffle was good in small doses, but was too overwhelming for any significant size of snacking. The white cheddar was delicious but super salty. The best was the simple buttered popcorn, though even that was quite salty.

Billion Dollar Popcorn - Not worth it! Tried calling to advise that the product was stale and chewy, and to request a refund - no luck!

Was excited to try some Berco popcorn after seeing it showcased on "Most Expensivest". Placed our order - on Dec. 31, 2018 - for the 8 oz package of Billion Dollar Popcorn and a gallon of the Caramel Corn. No delivery of product for a few weeks, finally we received the Billion Dollar Popcorn (Only) - on Jan. 16, 2019 - with notice of apology for the delay in shipment. First red flag here: It would've been nice to receive some communication prior letting me know of the delay in shipping. We opened the Billion Dollar Popcorn the following day (Jan. 17, 2019) and was disappointed - it was stale and chewy! I contacted Berco via phone call and spoke with "Matt" - I explained the situation, but because it was close to closing, he wasn't able to do much and offered to give me a call the following day (Friday) or Monday. He also said "this is unusual that you're experiencing stale and chewiness - as the products are shipment shortly after mixture - I'm not saying I don't trust you, but it is unusual". Really?!?! Why would I lie. I explained that I've had other types of Caramel Corn and never had this experience, it's always had some crunch. Friday came and went, and so did Monday - no call back from Matt or anyone else from Berco. Waited a few more days and received our Gallon of Caramel Popcorn on Jan. 25, 2019. To my surprise, the quality was much better - but still no word from Berco on the Billion Dollar popcorn. So I sent a "comment" through their website on Jan 26th.... Still no follow-up, so sent another "comment" on Jan. 29, 2019 - I also looked around on their website for an email address, but no success - so the same day I sent a reply via my order confirmation email , explaining the situation and requesting a refund of the Billion Dollar Popcorn. I then called and left a voicemail on Jan 31, 2019 explaining my attempts at reaching someone through written communication and that I would like to speak with someone regarding the matter, and would like a refund of the 8 oz package of Billion Dollar Popcorn. There were no replies to any of my written communication, or the phone call I made. Not only is the product questionable, the lack of customer service leaves something to be desired and they got away with my money. I will NEVER order from Berco again - I can get better quality popcorn elsewhere, like Popcornopolis. They get hype of their business through a television show - good for them - but can't follow through with quality product!

I was fortunate to get to sample the World Famous Best Ever Mix at Berco's Popcorn. For those of you who don't know this in Chicago they like to eat the caramel corn and the cheese popcorn mixed together. Berco's had white cheddar so your fingers don't turn orange. I thought this was amazingly delicious. The white cheddar popcorn was rich and salty and buttery and the caramel corn was sweet and they both just worked well together. I will be back and I will most likely be ordering online next time I need to send a gift to someone out of town. It's really delicious and you can taste the care put into this popcorn!

Classic with a couple unique original flavors. Got the White Truffle popcorn and it was so fresh with loads of flavors. The place itself can probably improve with its sense of space. It's kinda disjointed and odd.

This little tucked away chicago gem is worth the drive. How many times do you get to try Popcorn with Gold on it. Although, this popcorn is competing with Garret's the customer service makes Berco's Popcorn equivalent to eating at Garret's. The owner was very patient and understanding and willing to explain his product. I would definitely recommend again.

That's Matt with my wife, @lisacohen, ace foodie blogger. Berco's is awesome!

After about 45 minutes, I promptly received a call from Matt himself and was told the caramel corn was ready.

This time, I was actually spending several days in Chicago, so it was only natural for my friend and me to swing by the first Garrett Popcorn Shop we found near our hotel to buy gifts for people at home. We stopped by the 173 N Michigan Avenue location, and there was no line at first (though there was when we were leaving). We saw a whole bunch of options from the Chicago-style Garrett Mix (caramel and cheddar) to Caramel Crisp, Cheese Corn, Almond Caramel Crisp, and Pecan Caramel Crisp. We decided it only made sense to get the Chicago-style Garrett Mix for everyone. The service was quick, and the employee helping us was helpful and walked us through the best deals to get the most items. We ended up getting $5 off (due to how much we ordered) plus got an additional discount due to the number we ordered, too. We chose tins for the ease of packing and travel, which is considered a part of the "Build Your Bundle" promotion. The hours at this location are generally 10 AM to 7 PM though that is subject to change. Like at many other stores, there were also options for Frango Chocolate mixed in or using the app or website for Skip the Line & Order Ahead options. They also provide for meetings and events. If you sign up on their website for their newsletter, you can earn $10 in savings. Since 1949, they have been creating special experiences for customers. As they state on their website, they are "more than just popcorn!" To me, it's a taste of Chicago!

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you're out and about, and are craving something sweet. However,…read morealmost all places and bakeries you walk into have, at smallest, a cookie the size of one's face. I'm looking to satisfy my sweet tooth, not have a full meal in dessert form! Windy City Sweets fits the bill perfectly! They have a very wide selection of all sorts of sweet goodies! Homemade chocolates and candies, commercially made candies, ice cream, jelly beans by weight (buttered popcorn is peak, and you can't change my mind). There are likely many others, but I found what my heart was craving and went for it. Looking at their selection, there is something for everyone, even stuffed animals! (Eating these is not recommended, HA!) I suppose a candy shop has *some* appeal to the young and young at heart, so why not? I also love that they have reasonable prices, are open late-ish (until 9pm), and have friendly, welcoming service. Final verdict: To make it dead-simple: if you have a sweet tooth, and are within a couple miles of Northalsted, get yourself in here already!
