Came in on the opening weekend and the service was awesome. We had some questions about flavors and gift tins and they took the time to explain things and then carefully hand pack the items. Very nice staff here. Definitely cheaper than some of the "gourmet" mail order popcorn companies and the popcorn is really big, so lots of room for the flavor coatings. read more

Organic expensive popcorn. It was not open today but the woman from the other sharing store was kind enough to come over and help us out. We got the healthy heeps. Really good. Love it. read more

I love their popcorn. I like the truffle Parmesan and the cheddar popcorn. Salty and savory and easy to get when I am craving some popcorn. I don't even have to buy it at the store or go to the movie theater, it's already made and ready to eat read more

I stumbled upon Cornology of Walnut Creek last night before seeing the movie Peanut Butter Falcon. What a delicious surprise! If you enjoy flavored popcorn, or if you've ever enjoyed Chicago Mix popcorn, which is sold in shops on almost every Chicago corner, much like our Starbucks, then you'll love Cornology. Priced just right, fresh, friendly service, and yummy! The only negative comment is it's addicting. read more

Yum! Popcorn galore! Nine different flavors of popcorn, from movie theater popcorn to kettle corn. It's also organic and non-GMO. $6.99 for a small bag, though. A little pricey. They also have Chalogy, milk tea and rolled ice cream, in the back part of the store. Will definitely try this next time! read more

Stumbled upon Cornology after intending to try Chalogy (boba place that shares space with Cornology) with my family. One must pass Cornology and its numerous displays of delectably dressed popcorn in order to reach Chalogy--nice strategy. I stood ogling at the caramel corn for about half a second before a kind young worker asked me if I'd like to sample anything. I verbally expressed that I couldn't decide between their versions of kettle and caramel corn, and he explained that I could try as many as I liked. Their corn is made fresh daily, and it is kept warm, which was a very nice touch. To make a long story short, I ended up buying two small bags--a caramel corn bag and a coffee bag--and was very happy to shell out the $7 per bag. Even the small was a very nice size. Additionally, you can put as many flavors as you'd like per bag! I'll definitely be back. read more

it was ok popcorn. its good but tastes similar to the popcornopolis. good and friendly service. parking is really hard to find.

So sad that this place has gone down hill! I used to be a regular customer for buying their delicious caramel corn. However the past two times I have bought their caramel corn I have been disappointed. The popcorn they use now is different and the caramel popcorn tastes like cheap toffee! Now I thought I would at least try it one more time hoping they would get better. Nope and now they charge $29.95 for a large popcorn whereas the price used to be $19.95!!! Thanks for destroying a great popcorn shop for me. Let's see where you're at in 2020! read more

I'm a huge fan of Chicago popcorn so I was excited to try this place. I went with the tried and true Chicago mix in a small cone bag. The packaging is interesting, but not very functional and seems to cheapen it, in my opinion. I'm a picker and like one similarly sized piece of caramel with one piece of cheese but the narrow opening/funnel design of the packaging makes it difficult to eat. I wound up dumping it out so I could enjoy it "properly". On to the popcorn - its good. Not the best I've ever had but it fulfills a craving when needed. It is a lot lighter than Garrets in the sense that each piece isn't as thoroughly coated. It makes it a tad bit healthier which is probably better for the Bay Area crowd but it lacks the indulgence and rich flavor that I like in this kind of treat. The price is definitely off putting - very expensive for what it is. With that said, it's worth a shot and it's nice to have a spot like this in WC for some snack diversity. read more

This was my first time coming in to Cornology and the service here was incredible. The nice lady let me try all the flavors while waiting for my rolled ice cream in the back of the store. They have so many varieties from cheese, to Chicago cheese, movie theater popcorn, a healthy vegan flavor, white truffle, and so much more!! If you're ever in need of a pop corn fix then you need to try this place out! read more

Nearby where my Dad and I were going to attend a concert, I was looking for a good place to get a snack and have boba and this is the spot I checked out. Cornology shares the same space as Chalogy -- popcorn and boba FTW!!! It's nice that they give free samples; chose the truffle parmesan popcorn which was fairly good. Anywho, I tried a small Chicago Mix popcorn which was decent but not the buttery cheddar that I've come to deeply appreciate in Garrett's popcorn. I think next time I'll either try the Movie Pop or Sweet Corn. read more

Great place to hangout with friends. Two different business in one location very thoughtful...

IT"S BACK!!! AND BETTER THEN EVER!!! I was walking in Walnut Creek and was surprised to find Cornology open again!! I thought I would never have the greatest popcorn in the world cross to my home again. The store looks awesome!!! The Carmel Corn and Chocolate Drizzle is to die for!!! If you have never been here before, don't walk, run to get the best popcorn in California if not the WORLD!!! read more

No, it's not just corny, figured I would start with a joke. I had some samples here before the place opened, they actually let me come inside and get some samples. One of the guys I talked to told me he became a fan of this place because it was over at Broadway Plaza previously. I got a sample of Parmesan and a sweet one that was way to sweet, the gals that work there are really very sweet. I didn't finish the sweet one though. Asian people are really smart when it comes to businesses, as is this place. So, today I went inside after they officially opened, one of the gals remembered me, I tried a sample of two different kinds of tea drinks. I didn't have any thing to eat I didn't need to, I just ate before coming here. They also have crepes here, smoothies, ice cream, of course different flavors of popcorn. They have a very clean Edonica in the back. Am I forgetting anything? I think not. I will be back!! read more

Expensive! Pretty solid flavors, though I was hoping for more variety. The pre-mixed chocolate packages are delicious.

Very disappointing experience on 2/14. Went in. Two clerks had to get up from customers tables when we walked in. The lights were low. I asked how old the merchandise was. The first clerk said she didn't know. The second said a day old. I walked out and am explaining to my kids why this matters so much. 0 rating. read more

They put assorted flavor of popcorn in one bag for me; with stronger flavor in the bottom and lighter flavor on top. When I eat through it, I got a surprise with each new layer. My favorite is the Truffle Parmesan. Bring the old bag back for refill, and they give you 10% off. read more

The Chicago style is the bomb!!! Customer service is impeccable ! They also have specialty teas and many other great food items to choose from!! read more

Organic and delicious, this is the spot for some unique style of popcorn. They have many flavors and you can try it before buying! Store is clean, friendly and quick service to your pace. read more

Great customer service. I was offered samples to start off with, and all were delicious. Fresh and well balanced flavors. Will come again!

Love love love the popcorn! I love that local ingredients are used, it's 100% whole wheat, gf, and non gmo without compromising flavor! I absolutely love the Chicago mix. the daily grind is really delicious as well. The prices are decent for the sizes, and they have pre-packaged cones at the register if you want to have a smaller size. All the popcorn is fresh and warm which makes it even more delicious! My four stars are for the quality if the product. I would give 1.5 stars for customer service the first visit the girl behind the counter visibly looked like she would rather be anywhere than there helping me w/my order which is a total turn off, if you have face to face interaction at least TRY to slap half a smile on your face, her expressions were blank, her tone was flat etc really poor customer service. The second time was a little better from a young man, he was friendlier, nothing extraordinary however. All in all I'll still keep buying popcorn!!! read more

I first encountered Cornology while I was talking a walk around downtown Walnut Creek. The smell of the popcorn lured me in and before I knew it, I was enjoying a few samples. After trying most of the popcorn I decided to purchase Double Cheddar and Coffee flavor. I then moved on to the tea bar. I had Jasmine Green tea with sour flavoring and jellies. The tea had such a great aroma and flavor. The best tea I've had in a while. We also were given samples of rolled mango ice cream. The fruit is fresh and added to the ice cream. You can also watch them prepare it which is pretty entertaining. Overall I have a great experience and the staff was very friendly and attentive to any needs or suggestions. I will definitely come back often since they have such a great variety of drinks and snacks. read more

See all

Cool selection of popcorn. More importantly, great service. Stephanie who works there is a stand-up employee, but really, just a friendly place from top to bottom. I dabble in making my own popcorn at home, and I'm a huge film buff so it's pretty much my snack of choice. If you relate to that previous sentence in any way, check it out. (Plus they have a boba cafe inside, though I haven't tried it.) read more

Popcorn is amazing! But theyy open at 12 noon. And if you get there at noon there is absolutely no popcorn where you pretty much have to wait another half hour 45 minutes until it's all popped. You would think someone would come in at 11 to prepare for when they open at noon. Pretty ridiculous considering sometimes I drive over 45 minutes to get there. Knowing the website says they open at noon they should say you will have to wait another hour for your popcorn so basically they don't open till 1. Not to mention the last time I was there, my popcorn was all crumbs. Several times I've been there the popcorn is amazing. Spoke to a gal that work there she told me the majority there business is in the evening. That location is downtown next to Peet's Coffee and there's a lot of foot traffic and most stores open up early. Won't be coming back to this place they just lost my business read more

If you're ever in the mood for some Awesome popcorn, you gotta try this place! Best Carmel and cheddar ever! Great customer service and atmosphere!! Ice cream is great too! read more

Kevin and Stephanie are the perfect employees! They really know how to please customers and go above and beyond. I have always been a HUGE fam of Cornology, but they have stepped up the service level and expectations of how everyone should run their shops! Nice work!!! read more

We didn't know what to expect when we first walked into a store called "Cornology." Then we were surprised at the novice idea of pan rolled ice cream. So we tried one...all natural and fresh ingredients used in its making. Wow...very good healthy treat! read more

Came to the tea/ice cream place to get some ice cream. Saw the popcorn an tried to order a few things. The lady said they were closed and that they could not sell anything because the register is closed. She was rude about it; I asked what time they closed they said 9. It was 8:58 so they should have still been open. I was ready to get a few things which means more sales for the company. Instead they lost that sale and future sales. read more

If you are in the mood for popcorn, definitely a great place to go to. They have a variety of popcorn which tastes great. I enjoyed the Truffle Parmasean. Great location, in downtown Walnut Creek. The service was great with friendly customer service. Highly recommend going to this place. read more

Fast efficient and very helpful. Great tasting popcorn and great variety. The lady who helped me was very informative as well and knew her product very well. She also made a great recommendation in popcorn flavor read more

CORNSTAR! Truffle parm, truffle salt, cheddar. Healthy, light and savory. Great service.

The smell of popcorn is full of the street, you can't miss it. You can buy a drink and enjoy your popcorn in the same time. The design is attractive, I like the atmosphere here! Come visit. read more

Never met popcorn worth this price. It ought to be a crime. The organic descriptor is such a farce. Organic funnel cake anyone? Organic deep fried burrito anyone? High glycemic popcorn loaded with sugar is still junk food whether it's organic or not. Besides, it's just the corn that is organic. Way over-rated and way over priced. read more
