    Saw a Garrett popcorn stand with pre-packaged popcorn upon our arrival to O'Hare. Good thing we saw the store during our return to NYC. Bought a jumbo bag of the Garrett mix and watched the employee put alternating layers of cheese and caramel crisp in the bag then mix them (freshly mixed compared to the prepackaged ones). It was then placed in a lined paper bag, sealed to keep the popcorn fresh til we got home (I mean it was only a 2 1/2 hr flight.) Also got the pecan crisp, pricier @$7.99 for small. That was enough for us- was pretty sweet, although I liked the pecans.

    Conveniently located in Terminal 5. Was thrilled to see this open as I wanted to surprise my sister and mom with some popcorn. Process was simple. Several classic flavors available in addition to seasonal Kettle Korn. I usually get Chicago Mix but this time opted for Cheddar and Kettle Korn. Got the medium because it can fit in my backpack. Popcorn was fresh and packaged good. Don't skip this treat!!!

    If you like fresh, gourmet popcorn, this is a Chicago favorite, but it's also a pricey treat, so not for everyone.

We…read morewalked up to the Magnificent Mile location, and the smell of fresh popcorn hit us before we even reached the door, a warm, buttery aroma that immediately set the tone for the visit. The shop itself is compact and usually busy, with a steady line of customers moving through the counter, but the staff keeps orders moving efficiently enough that the wait never feels excessive. The Garrett Mix is the obvious choice for a first visit, combining sweet caramel and savory cheddar popcorn in a way that somehow works perfectly together. We ordered a bag and found the popcorn had a light, crisp texture, with each kernel coated evenly and the flavors balancing without one overpowering the other. The caramel added a rich sweetness, while the cheddar brought a sharp, salty contrast that made the combination addictive. The popcorn is made fresh throughout the day, and the quality of each batch felt consistent, with no stale or undercooked pieces. While there are plenty of other flavors and seasonal options available, the classic mix remains the standout, and it is easy to see why it has become synonymous with Chicago. The shop is more of a grab-and-go experience than a place to linger, making it convenient if you are exploring downtown or looking for something to enjoy on the walk back to your hotel. The packaging is practical, with bags that seal well to keep the popcorn fresh, and they also offer a variety of collectible tins if you are planning to bring some home as a souvenir or gift. The staff handled the steady flow with efficiency, and the turnover was fast enough that even when the line stretched, we were out within a few minutes. Garrett Popcorn has earned its reputation over the years, and it is one of those places that lives up to the hype. It is simple, consistently fresh, and a stop we would recommend to anyone visiting Chicago for the first time. The combination of the iconic mix, the freshness of the product, and the efficient service makes it a reliable choice for a classic Chicago treat that feels both familiar and distinctly local.

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!
