White cheddar flavor
Mahima J.

I often visit them as they are on my way to work. Its been a year since I found them and their taste is the same since then. Every time I visit, there is a brown guy excited to help you to choose amongst the flavors. My personal favorite is the white cheddar. I am in love with its crisp crunch and intense-flavor. I was a big Garret fan unlike other Chicagoans but after try this popcorn I found Chicago Kernel far more better then the Garrets. I recommend you to visit this place and try there popcorn. And they do samples too for the popcorn. Its a tiny little store with many intense flavor popcorn.

I always ask if when I go to a shop "ok are you as good as Garrett?" Now I will ask if they are as good as these guys.

Today my family stopped in to stock up! We got 3 bags of the mix and 1 bag of caramel corn only…read more This location is close to Millenium Park so we stopped by after seeing the tree. Garett's never disappoints.

Whenever I have traveled through the Chicago airports, I have always been on the lookout for…read moreGarrett Popcorn Shops so that I could get some amazing popcorn as I had a layover in Chicago. 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!

Came here after sushi across the street at Wakamono yesterday evening. No line or wait. Service was…read morefriendly and fast. Loved the pirate's treasure with m&ms and Oreos. They also had a great selection of candy, though we didn't buy any. Will come back for sure whenever I'm in Chicago!
