    Been here before years ago. I remember it tasting better back then! Anyway I purchased a combination of low salt and butter popcorn, and also the Carmel / cheese combo popcorn. I got to my hotel to enjoy the butter low salt popcorn and it was stale!! Booo!! So disappointed. I opened the Carmel and cheese package the next day and it too was stale tasting. How sad it that??!!! Maybe they don't make it fresh anymore. But unfortunately I won't be spending my money there anymore.

    Passing through ORD with just enough time to grab some popcorn before boarding my connection. The Garrett mix is my go to and it's delicious. Staff were friendly, there were way more flavor options than I remember and service was quick!

    Felt SO special having this on the flight! Forgot I wasn't in First Class. Until I finished my bag...

    CHICAGO O'HARE AIRPORT | TERMINAL 3 | Near GATE: H2 Food: 5.0 | Service: 5.0 | Ambiance: 5.0 GARRETT POPCORN SHOPS in Chicago since 1949 is famous for their ORIGINAL MIX of Cheddar cheese popcorn and Caramel popcorn. Sounds weird but you haven't lived until you've had this! Fortunately if you forget to pack your bags with this umami-based popcorn wonder snack. Fear not! Chicago's O'Hare airport was smart and thoughtful enough to include a Garrett Popcorns Shop IN the airport. Behind TSA and a stone's throw from Chili's. Staff is nice, quick and efficient. They can help with suggestions if you're overwhelmed with all the gorgeous, popcorn sights and aroma!! Do yourself favor and buy the biggest size bag or tin you can carry. That day they offered the ORIGINAL mix, or figure out your own mix with CHEESE, Lightly Salted PLAIN, CARAMEL, PECAN CARAMEL, ALMOND CARAMEL, BUTTERY. Great snack to bring back for family and friends. Tip: Bring the big tin of popcorn mix back to the office, they'll love you! GARRETT POPCORN SHOPS, I'll be back. Accept NO substitutes! P.S. There are two other GPS locations in O'Hare airport in T1 & T5.

    Passed by early morning and of course we had to stop and get some popcorn! I enjoy the cheese the most and it was delish as always. When you have the chance, be sure to stop by and grab some!

    Quick place inside the busy ohare airport to pick up a local favorite. Bought a couple small popcorns which ended up costing $18. Remember to grab napkins if you get the cheese popcorn mix as they dont include them in your bag for you. The popcorn received was delish, consistent with popcorn shops in the city.

    When you see this sign stop and get some yummy Chicago Mix popcorn.

    We were headed back home to Austin at the O'Hare airport and noticed they had the yummy Chitown popcorn-Garretts on the way to our gate, so we had to stop and gets some small bags of the Chicago mix and picked up a new one that was pecan. Its a tiny spot to get a quick order of some popcorn and you can choose to get them in there Souvenir Tins as well. It's well worth the stop and glad they have them in the airport now. They have a few sizes to choose from. Highly recommend! If you haven't had them yet, you're missing out.

    Garrett Popcorn Shop is definitely a popular place to bring back for family and friends. Their most famous flavor is their "Chicago mix", which is Half caramel popcorn and half cheddar. I like their caramel popcorn. On this occasion, I brought their seasonal frango popcorn, which had caramel popcorn mixed with chocolate covered popcorn and mint chocolate flavored popcorn. Delicious. Other nice thing about this location at O Hare airport is that the cost mirrors what they charge at locations in downtown. Not cheap, but at least it's not marked up further at the airport!

    A Chicago treat for over 70 years, I really had to try Garrett's. Even one of my coworkers said it was a must during my last layover at O'hare. The line wasn't too long. So while I waited my turn, I scoped out which kind to try. There were quite a few variations. I chose Pecan CarmelCrisp. It was very rich and crisp and the pecans broke up the sweetness! Service wasn't the friendliest but the cashier did smile back at me. All in all, service was quick and efficient. I read that they rotate in new flavors, so I'll have to check for those next time I'm at Ohare.

This comes in a set of 3 mini sizes. Staff was super accommodating and very patient with my decision paralysis of trying to choose flavors. They had great recommendations and our order was up quickly. Tried the hazelnut, semi sweet, and cardamom rose. Really enjoyed it! The marshmallows are also house made and were delish! Tried the truffle of the week, Baileys and they also had a line of brewery inspired flavors, so I tried the Clementine Cider. One also random star of the show is the well stocked washroom! Equipped with ample space, changing table, baby wipes, diapers, sanitary pads and tampons. Kudos for being well stocked for all the ladies and mamas out there! Can't wait to come back to try the other drinking chocolates!

All in all, a good way to warm up. Lots of options for food. On this occasion it was pretty packed but everyone was in jolly moods considering the holiday season.

My fav so far is the macaroon and sour cherry. Did not like the strawberry cheesecake as a candy though. I hear, they had 5 stores in New York which shut dpwn sometime during covid, and these two stores in Chicago opened about a year ago. They are really soft. Keeping them out at room temperature kind of melted them so I put them in the fridge. texas heat is too much for their sensitive fruity nature ;) There's a little card which tells exactly which chocolate is what flavor . Packing is really cool. Goes great as a gift.

We've tried the jasmine osmanthus, and as of 5/24/26 the most recent flavor is ube (and apparently still is at the time of this review according to their Instagram). All the flavors have been incredible so far and we always look forward to the next time we can go. Additionally, it's vegan so everyone can enjoy it! They have been known to run out though, so get there early if you can. They also have beautifully decorated bonbons, caramels, and chocolates, all with some really unique flavors I haven't seen anywhere else - check out the pictures to see some of them! I'd feel guilty eating the bonbons because they're so elegant, but they would make a fantastic gift. They make their matcha lattes using matcha powder that they also sell, and you can actually choose which matcha powder you want to try based on its profile. They have a chart that shows the matcha choices and their descriptions; I'll try to grab a picture of and post here the next time we go which will hopefully be soon, but someone may have already posted it. It's a small place so it can get busy and crowded quickly, especially since they're only open on the weekends. Everyone has been so nice and helpful whenever we go though, despite how busy they get!
