    The Character Shop is located at Universal Studios Hollywood on the Lower Level Lot. It's right between Jurassic park and the Transformers ride. We ended up shopping inside the Character Shop after visiting Super Nintendo World! The Character Shop has all sorts of Super Mario Merchandise! The first items we were looking at was the Collectible Popcorn buckets! There was the Super Star and Mario Kart Popcorn buckets! On the wall, there was a bunch of apparel! They had Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach themed shirts! There were also hats as well! The hats were based on the video game characters! There was a Mario and Luigi hat! As we continued through the store, we saw these super cute headbands. Some of the head band decorations included Boo, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Luigi, and Mario! On the other side of the store, towards the Panda Express, there was a bunch of plushies. They had a lot of Bowsers on display. There was also apparel based on the Super Nintendo World. There was long sleeves, pants, short sleeves and so much more! I almost bought the Super Nintendo Themed shirt! We had so much fun inside the Character Shop. It's nice to be able to shop for Super Nintendo merchandise without having to be in the Super Nintendo World area! The team members at this location were super friendly. They had asked if we needed any assistance while shopping!

    Power Up Cafe for some Super Mushroom Fizz and Fire Flower Pretzel with Chipotle Cheese, Mustard…read moreand White Queso dipping sauces. Excellent customer service as our wait was only a few minutes wait. Enjoyed the refreshing Super Mushroom Fizz lemon lime soda with strawberry popping pearls at the bottom. It also came with a dissolving strawberry flavored "Super Mushroom Power Up" candy. It's was yummy. As for the Fire Flower Pretzel, we received it fresh from the oven. It was soft and went well with the Chipotle Cheese, Mustard and White Queso dipping sauces. Can't wait to come back to try the other Super Mushroom Fizz flavors.

I've been to universal studios plenty of times but always missed going to this place. It is a wonderful place to frequent if you have the time and have a season pass like I did. The food ordered were the 1-up green mushroom hot pocket vegetarian. It actually tastes like this hot pocket microwaveable pizzas you would otherwise get at the grocery store. But, the design, look and uniqueness of the food was delicious looking. I also ordered a pretzel with three sauces. This item was their best deal for a snack as it was about $10 and with the discounted season pass about $8 or so. It was cheaper than the mushrooms and drinks here. Also less fattening and less unnatural ingredients. I thought service was average and to be fair, isn't a pleasant job. The ambiance is cute and nice to look at. Great interior and exterior design throughout. The overall appeal and decoration were spectacular more or less. Good meal to have to keep you from getting lightheaded in this heat. For some reason, always crowded with tourists and locals. The lines even on a Friday morning were ridiculous. However, the lines even for this place was sort of okay. I rate the following below: 1-up mushroom 3/5, it was a unique looking hot pocket more or less Pretzel with dipping sauce 4/5, better value better taste simple and came with three decent sauces to overcome this bland taste by itself of a pretzel. There wasn't even salt on the pretzel. It was bready, but the sauces were great. Good comeback to bland. I would come back just to get the pretzel for its value and the three sauces that make up for the blandness the pretzel had anyway. It tasted fine texture wise, not too hard and not too soft.

    Paid Keith's a visit for National Popcorn Day and now I'm wishing I'd found this place sooner!! If…read moreyou love popcorn, you gotta check this place out! Without a doubt I'll be back - there are so many flavors on the menu that I just HAVE to try - like lemon pound cake and Nashville hot cheddar - what!??? On this visit, I walked away with some jalapeño cheddar, caramel, and banana pudding flavors. They were running an awesome deal for the National Popcorn Day holiday (duh??? Lol!!) - 2 small buckets for $5!!! So BONUS!! I was able to try tons of flavors instead of just one!! All three were excellent and exactly what you'd hope for!! The banana pudding one even has large bits of vanilla wafers in it omg heaven!! For the banana pudding flavor, since it's a "specialty" mix on the menu, it only comes in medium for $10 but the bag is HUGE!! Well worth it imo! I don't think we'll have any issues getting through it either lol! Oh and don't forget - they also have a Yelp check-in offer that gets you $1 off!! I was also lucky enough to meet the owner while I visited - he is SOOOO NICE!! So friendly and helpful - had a great banter going with customers and staff alike - overall it was just a great and joyful visit! The shop is in a little plaza with plenty of parking and it's right down the street from the Azusa Costco so it's a great location. Can't wait to try new flavors as soon as we finish off these!

    I first heard of the place through a SGV eats post and wished it was closer to me. Today as I'm…read moreheading to my sister's I realized I'd be passing close enough to stop by and check it out. I love popcorn in all flavors and was excited to get some for me and for my neice/nephews. It's a small store front in Azusa. But it looks like they stay busy- two people came in after me. The owner was in preparing a pre-order of 175 x-small bags of kettle lorn. Both the owner and the guy behind the counter were helpful, informative and willing to let me sample whatever flavors I wanted. So many to choose from. I ended up getting 5 bags (Windy City mix, vanilla cupcake, blue raspberry, buttery caramel, turtle mix) and started eating them in the car to my sisters. I love that all the bags are resealable except the x-small. The bags are made of a thick plastic and the reseals easily! The Windy City mix is the caramel with cheese. Keith said he's going to be making his Chicago style which has the buttery caramel and cheese but hasn't had time. That should be amazing. He has traditional caramel and the buttery caramel which takes longer to make. The vanilla cupcake is sweet-but I love sweet. Like a vanilla kettle corn with white chocolate drizzle! The blue raspberry wasn't too sweet and not my fav but I thought my 5 year old nephew would love it. The turtle seems to be like a light caramel corn with chocolate caramel drizzle. I'll definitely come by again and try more flavors! Maybe more savory ones next time.

    Crepe: 1/10 Paying $18.50 for a crepe with barely any…read morefilling is unbelievable. I actually asked twice to make sure my order was correct because I couldn't believe how empty it looked. I also requested strawberries, but they weren't included. I've attached a photo in my review comparing what was advertised to what I received, and the difference is huge. Also, keep in mind that the crepe pictured is after I asked the staff to add more toppings (pistachios). Before I requested that, it had nothing on top. Even after the extra toppings were added, it still looked nothing like what was advertised. Bon Bon (Dulce de Leche): 5/10 These were $3 each and had a cute design on the outside. I tried the dulce de leche flavor. It was very small, and while the taste was okay, it had a somewhat artificial flavor. Overall, it wasn't worth the price. Caramel Turtle: 7/10 A decent dessert with caramel, pecans, and chocolate. Nothing particularly memorable, but it tasted good. Amaranth Milk Chocolate: 3/10 The teddy bear design was adorable, but the flavor was very strange. The texture reminded me of Styrofoam, and it had an odd plastic-like aftertaste. I also felt like the employees were rushing us to leave the store, which made the experience less enjoyable. The interior was cute and well-decorated, but unfortunately the food and service didn't live up to the presentation. I wouldn't come back. Total (w/o tip): $31.25
