It pains me to say this, but the last time we purchased popcorn from here, it was stale. We spent around $70-$80 for a graduation party, so it was disappointing. Service is always been great. My previous purchase over four months ago was excellent. I really wish this experience had been better! read more

5th year coming here. Make it a point to come during Spring Break as I did in college in 2020. Walked in and the owner was cleaning, greeted me and introduced himself. His staff said hi and let us know if we can help you. That made it feel so personal. Scooped up 5 different candy, 4 different chocolate and some rock candy. Loved the homemade chocolate fudge, grabbed 2. Frosties Root Beer was a must! Ice cream for sure They invited our group to upcoming Tomball German Heritage Festival! read more

Craving Kernels - Sign out front - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Tomball, Texas

I was really excited about trying this popcorn but it wasn't fresh and the carnel flavor left an after taste. I was not happy at all.

I got to say the popcorn ate the biggest I have seen. I ordered the Carmel and found it tasteless and the popcorn was stale. Sorry for this review but II expected more form this company. Plus it has and after taste. read more

Ok, ever been to a business whose staff IS the poster children of its business?? Well Craving Kernels is the place where you can get sweet treats and be served by an ever sweeter staff! Walking in, we were greeted with such enthusiasm by one of the staff members, asked us if it was our first time and we are welcomed to try some samples of their fudge and ice cream, we kindly rejected since we were still stuck by the entrance packing up out treat bag with gummies but promised once we get closer to the register we would love to. The store was very clean and so packed of many treats, All the clear canisters were labeled in shelves and a table in the center. My child-like gitty anxiety of all the options really brought me back to my youth when my dad took me out for candy. I absolutely was so excited to see a wide variety of jelly beans, gummies, chocolates and more. After filling our bag, another staff member so graciously offered some samples of ice cream and popcorn, I declined but the rest of my party did not hesitate (which kept them occupied as I was ordering my fudge). The prices were very reasonable, the staff is A+, and both their fudge and candies were delicious. I can't wait to come back for some more treats! read more

My husband and I drove 30 minutes to buy some popcorn due to the place we usually buy it is closed at the time due to Covid. The website makes it look like it's really good. We bought a big bag of kettle and it's really salty. So salty we can't even eat it. I guess that's why they named it sweet and salty. We were told it tasted like kettle. Our mistake for not trying it. I'm not sure if we are just spoiled from the place we normally buy it from but I wouldn't go with the kettle popcorn from here. The store is cute. They have ice cream, candy, and drinks. The lady at the counter was nice. I do wish she would have had a mask on. read more

Our favorite fun candy and popcorn store! Colorful yummy selection of treats and amazing friendly and helpful service! They are always ready to answer questions and make great recommendations. Highly recommend! read more

Go here!!!! Absolutely my favorite popcorn I've ever had! There are so many choices of flavors and they all taste even better than you'd expect, both savory and sweet. The people working there are the sweetest people, they're very nice and offered tastes of different flavors before buying them. I live in Colorado but have family in Texas, so now every time I come to visit my family I HAVE to stop by here and load up on popcorn and fudge to take back with me. The store is absolutely adorable inside, but I've also had them ship directly to me before and the popcorn and fudge was just as fresh and tasty as if I'd bought it in the store. Their prices are also so reasonable, especially when buying the bigger sizes. Before finding craving kernels, I tried MANY different popcorn stores throughout the country and I've never found anything that could compare to Craving Kernels. If you haven't been here, you need to go! read more

Impressive. Spectacular selection of popcorn and a trip down candy memory lane to boot! Stopped in due to its proximity to Fire Ant Brewery (we had been there for lunch). I love flavored popcorn and was blown away by the variety of flavors available here. Got the Dill Pickle (very good), Bacon (yes, real bacon bits are in there), Spicy Buffalo (zippy, but not choke-worthy) and Jalapeño Cheddar (not as hot as I thought it would be but still plenty tasty). Checked in on Yelp and got a free Xtra Buttery (wow - superb). Warp back in time for those of us that are old enough to remember the true little corner candy stores (the ones with the tubs of 1 cent rock-hard Bazooka bubblegum). Candy necklaces! Wax lips! Bit-o-Honey! This place had all of that old-style candy that I remember vividly as a child. A do-it-yourself custom "pixie sticks" machine is also here with oodles of flavors (oh, yes, my grandchildren had a good time picking their little tubes of sugary powder). Impressive store with impressive selection. YUM. Lick your fingers, finish off that bag of popcorn you just bought, turn around and head back here for more! read more

Love this place! Can't wait to come back! The popcorn is fabulous and the candy selection is great.

The selection of popcorn was so huge, and they let you sample as many as you'd like. There were 5 of us, and we each got something different. They were all very delicious and very fresh. We will definitely be back. read more

Cute little place located next to a boutique and a brewery! They have tons of candy and sell it by the pound. The popcorn menu is sweet and savory. I got a cheesy cheese and a mocha type one. Both were yummy and eaten pretty quickly. If you check in on Yelp you get a free mini bag with a minimum purchase. The owner is very nice and helpful, make sure to sample some popcorn so you can decide which ones you want! In July she does Christmas in July and was offering several Christmas flavors for popcorn. read more

THE BEST PLACE EVER! Right when I walk in they greet me as I gaze into the candy and sweets, as I go to the menu I can't decide as there's so many flavors to choose from. They have savory sweet salty and so much more! They have various flavors of ice cream, soda, and fudge. The employees are so nice and helpful! I can't wait to go back again and get more sweet treats! read more

LOVE the popcorn and variety. We were able to sample some too. Great when you really don't know and want to try something new. Been here several times and the employees are so happy and eager to help. Very welcoming even when they are busy. read more

We love this place! The variety of popcorn is AMAZING. For my sister's baby shower, we decided to do a popcorn bar. The bar had 6 different flavors. The hardest part was only picking 6 flavors. TIP: Ask for a sample or 6 read more

Stopped in during the German Festival today. It was packed, but the sweet girl who took my order was kind and patient, even when i had trouble swiping my card. I don't live anywhere near there but would make the trip again and will certainly order online! Thanks for being so courteous and helpful. P.S. i told the owner to give her a raise! read more

No masks used by those behind counter -- okay that mask mandate is "done" by Abbott but still not what I want with Delta transmission likened to chickenpox (R over 16). These people can be exposed multiple times throughout the day. I'll wait to come back until Delta dies down because I value their employees lives. read more

Can't believe we have our own candy store in Tomball! First of all, it's like walking into Candy heaven for adults and children. There is something for everyone, trust me.

They are super family friendly and they will give you samples of the popcorn before you purchase. I can't wait to go back! read more

This place is wonderful! Seeing old favorite candies is enough to make anyone smile. I am a big fan of the jalapeno cheddar popcorn (warning, highly addictive!) and today picked up seasonal King cake flavor, which I look forward to trying. I've enjoyed every single thing I've gotten from Craving Kernels. I'm a rewards member and received a free hunk of fudge for my birthday. Thank you, Craving Kernels and keep making us smile! read more

I have been in Craving Kernals several times and have purchase everything from small gifts to party size bags to personal treats. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and very reasonably priced. This past weekend my daughter got married. She chose to have a popcorn bar during cocktail hour. Craving Kernals provided the popcorn, seasonings, buckets, scoops - everything we needed. It was a huge hit and everyone loved being able to customize it. I highly recommend Craving Kernals! If you haven't been in, you should definitely go check it out! read more

I absolutely love this place!!!!!!! They have everything SWEET you can think of sour too !!!!!!

Stepping into this candy shop transports you to another place in another time! All of the candy is step up like a scene out of Charlie and the chocolate factory! It's amazing! Their home made treats have always been amazing! I personally enjoy their "haystack" and fudge treats. If you are in the area & have a sweet tooth, this is a must stop! read more

Gracie the general manager is so generous, kind, and so funny. Love her!! Her best friend too

This place is so adorable and their popcorn is fantastic! They have so many flavors- some of which sound strange but are SO good! I tried the BBQ bacon this week and it was amazing. The unicorn, dill pickle, Carmel peanut and red velvet Oreo are my favorites but I've yet to try something I didn't like. read more

My mind was blown! I've never seen so many different flavors of popcorn in my life! The list is overwhelming and I couldnt decide..but little did I know you can try before you buy!

Wonderful little gem in downtown Tomball with some of the most unique popcorn flavors I have ever seen.

I brought my kids by one evening to celebrate making honor roll all year and I let them fill up their bags to their heart's content. I didn't even realize we walked in at closing "5 pm" but the 2 girls working didn't even flinch. The girl who rang me up was the super helpful and friendly one. I wish I remembered her name.Thank you for letting me unknowingly shop last closing! My kids thank you read more

We stopped in yesterday after seeing it while walking to a near by restaurant and were SOOOO GLAD we did! Randy and the staff were so sweet and helpful as it was our first time. Randy made instant besties with my almost 2-year old by showing him some candy classics. I LOVE popcorn, especially now that I am pregnant, and if you are like me, you HAVE TO GO!!!! Soooo many flavors and they allow you to taste them. Randy and Tracey's daughter asked me if I like coffee and brought me an amazing mocha creation take your family here!!!!!!! read more
