My kiddos and family are huge huge fans of Jake's popcorn! They have the best variety of flavors…read moreand their popcorn never gets old! We love the mission that Jake's supports and the staff is extremely helpful. It is a little on the pricey side, but that is to be expected for the area and the money goes to a good cause. My son really loves the Snickers popcorn and they even have some ice cream from their ice cream shop there! Parking is easy and we highly recommend Jake's!

I came here with the sole intention to just check the store out to see what they offered…read more hewesome employee let me try a couple of samples. O could tell that this store is relatively new here on the shopping plaza, and I was curious. The second that I saw the popcorn in their displays kind of got my sweet tooth for popcorn. Really the last time that I had popcorn was earlier this year in Mexico City. There are vendors that sell bags of popcorn for like 10 pesos $.50 and I purchased these a couple of times. After I saw real popcorn again, I could not resost to buyinh some. The aweome employee offered me a couple of ssamples to try out. They give out small samples in these small tin cups and I tried Snores and Brownie flavored popcorn. I ended up getting the small movie flavored popcorn in a bag and it was all of the popcorn flavor that I had expected. I would recommend getting at least the medium sized popcorn of whatever flavor you have in mind.

I recently visited Sweet Shoppe in Short Pump for the second time and unfortunately, my experience…read morewas just as disappointing as my first visit. While the candy selection is still splendid and delicious; the atmosphere remains unpleasant. The store continues to be run mostly by children, with their friends hanging around being rude and disruptive. It's clear that there is a lack of adult supervision, which really detracts from the overall shopping experience. I felt uncomfortable. The yute (in my Joe Pesci voice in my Cousin Vinny, lol You all don't know anything about that). I was hanging out with one of @we_hungryaf bloggers, who was also taken aback by the confusion. Despite the delicious candy, I cannot recommend Sweet Shoppe due to the negative atmosphere. I love their peanut brittle, but both times I went, the yute asked me with a tone that indicated (in my opinion) something was wrong with it. He asked me if I was sure I wanted that Peanut Brittle, the one made with honey. if you're looking for a great selection of sweets in the RVA area, there are plenty of other options that offer a more pleasant shopping experience. #rvafoodie #yelpelite #candysweets #sweettoothfix #candyaddict #sugarhigh

This past Saturday I went to the college park farmers market and discovered BiggPoppaKK popcorn…read more This is an alternative to movie theater popcorn (Which i have been trying to replicate) at a great price. He has many flavors like chai spic, sweet hot, salted caramel, cheddar etc. (Ask for a sample) I bought butter popcorn and brown sugar popcorn. They were both amazing, the brown sugar popcorn had a salty sweet taste to it which was great because it was not overly sweet. The size of the kernels are pretty big compared to regular popcorn. I will be back every Saturday to get some more and try new flavors. #supportlocal www.BiggPoppapopcorn.com

Though I've tried Lammar's popcorn at various events, this was my first time at the shop. I wanted…read moreto get some mini sizes for stocking stuffers. Thankfully I went in at a good time, because apparently they prefer you call in to order the minis since they need to be machine sealed. I would have gotten the sampler pack, but it only had half the flavors I would eat. In any case the staff was super helpful and friendly. And everything is super affordable, the minis were about $2/pack. I tasted some new flavors while I was there. Mexican street corn is my go to, of course sold out that day. The double butter was too salty for my taste, but all the flavors i tried were delicious. The butter beer, chicken & waffles, and biscuits & gravy were my new faves.

Let's rank the 17 flavors of Lammar Marie's Gourmet Popcorn (LMGP)…read more I learned about LMGP from the Ground-up podcast nearly two years ago. Lammar Marie is a black-owned, veteran-owned business based in my adopted hometown of Henrico (Richmond), VA. I meant to visit the location while in town to visit family, but it slipped my mind. I was excited when I stumbled upon them at the DMV Coffee and Chocolate Festival. I am starting from my least favorite to the best. This is my opinion and based on my taste buds. 17 Salt and Vinegar - I'm not too fond of how vinegar smells. 16 Spicy Cheddar - It was too much heat for me. 15 Dark Chocolate Sea Salted Caramel - Good, but it made me thirsty. 14 Lammar's Mix - A combo of sweet and savory, but the spicy overpowers the sweet. 13 Key Lime - Refreshing flavor. 12 Loaded Baked Potato - I don't taste the flavors. 11 Cheddar & sour cream - I wish it had more sour cream flavoring 10 Buttery White Cheddar - You taste the butter first, then the cheddar 9 Cheddar - cheesy goodness. 8 Confetti - It doesn't look like it should work, but it does. It is like fruit loops, and Popcorn had a baby. Kids would love this! 7 Buffalo Ranch - It has excellent heat. 6 Snickerdoodle - Cinnamon sweetness 5 Double Chocolate Pretzeltopia - Chocolate, Crunchy... 4 Cracked Pepper & Sea Salt- Just the right amount of salt. 3 Lemon Cheesecake -I'm not fond of lemon-flavored things, so it is delicious to be ranked so high. 2 Caramel - Reminder me of Cracker Jack or Crunch and Munch without the nuts 1 Chicken & Waffles - The perfect mixture of sweet and savory. Lammar Marie's Gourmet Popcorn is a team of passionate popcorn enthusiasts dedicated to creating an experience that brings joy, togetherness, and memories to cherish.

Popcorn Euphoria was definitely an interesting find. First, let me say this: the popcorn flavors…read moreare no joke. The young man working there was friendly and patient, allowing me to sample several options before making my decision. I tried flavors like pizza, steak, and cheeseburger, and surprisingly, they actually tasted like what they claimed to be. The flavor profiles were creative and authentic. I didn't stop at the savory options. I also sampled some sweet flavors and ended up taking home the banana pudding popcorn along with the cheeseburger flavor. Both were delicious and definitely different from your average movie theater popcorn. I ended up giving my cheeseburger popcorn away, and enjoyed my banana pudding flavor. I also love supporting Black-owned businesses, especially when they're bringing something unique to the area. Now for the downsides. The popcorn is a bit pricey, but to be fair, this is gourmet popcorn, not a $5 tin from the grocery store. My bigger concern was the appearance of the space. The decor felt sparse, and the back area looked a little unkempt, which took away from the overall experience. The location is also a bit unexpected, tucked into a residential apartment complex area. That said, there are other businesses nearby, and it feels like one of those up-and-coming spots that's still finding its footing. Overall, if you're looking for creative popcorn flavors and want to support a local Black-owned business, it's worth stopping by. Just don't expect a polished storefront experience--at least not yet.

With multiple flavor options for the tins. If you keep your tin and bring it back, they'll refill at a discount which is a boon. The flavors are PHENOMENAL. The truffle, the salted caramel bourbon and the white cheddar made me so happy. But the dill pickle was soooo tasty too. I'll say any flavor of popcorn you're looking for, and many you've never thought of (like banana pudding) they have! These make AWESOME gifts for the popcorn lovers in your life and they have a loyalty/rewards program! Check them out!!!!

If you don't believe me, go try it. On my first visit, the sweet staffer put a paper towel on the counter and provided generous samples of each flavor that piqued my interest. I tried all the cheesy flavors: cheddar, white cheddar, mac and cheese, parmesan and garlic, etc. My work friend tried the green apple and caramel and has purchased multiple bags of the combo -- she swears it's amazing. Sweet blends are the most expensive, savory starts around $3 for a mini bag, and butter is cheaper (see the photo I posted of the menu board for full pricing). They produce the popcorn in their South Richmond location and bring it up during weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the downtown office workers. It's right in the middle of a bunch of lunch restaurants, so there's no reason not to stop in to grab an afternoon snack. [They opened about two months ago, so it's still quite new.] I'm sure I'll continue to return on lunch breaks. The white cheddar is my favorite, and if my waistline and wallet would agree, I'd eat that stuff daily. So glad to know this novel shop is around! Such a cool addition to the downtown area.
