I first became aware of this business when a work colleague brought bags of their popcorn to work…read more I was impressed with the popcorn and so it went on my list! The store is packed with decorative tins you can select to contain your popcorn if you are giving it as a gift. Also there was a bunch of unusual candies on offer, as well as fudge. But I was here for the popcorn. The selection is huge! Sweet, savory, spicy, tangy, it's all represented here. Service was super relaxed and friendly. They were patient with me while I perused the extensive menu. If you aren't getting a tin for the popcorn, they sell it in bags. There are a bunch of different size bags, and I liked that there are smaller (but still generous) sized bags that enable you to try a variety of different flavors. I went with white cheddar, Chicago mix (caramel and cheese), spicy pickle, Jalapeno ranch, peanut butter chocolate, and Oreo. All were so delicious! Every kernel was packed with flavor. The popcorn itself was fresh and with zero unpopped kernels. The seasonings were all just right, not too much or too little, and evenly adhered to the popcorn. So addictive! The service was super nice, and the prices not too bad. I think they deliver too. I grabbed a menu because I will definitely be back! Such a great place to have here in Salem. Great for treating yourself or picking up a gift.

They've got a wide variety of flavors along the left hand wall as you enter, and it's a choose your own flavors, and fill the bag as you go experience. They've got artwork on the walls that looks like it may have been there since they opened in the 1940s, and their mechanical taffy puller / wrapper is still on proud display near the entrance as it cranks out treats for tourists. Working your way to the back of the store, the checkout experience is helmed by a pleasant young person, with information about Ainslee's history.

I bought a bag and also some very grainy and lovely colored polenta. I took my goodies home and anxiously made some popcorn. I stopped using canola oil because I learned it is not meant for high heat cooking. I only had olive oil and used it instead. I had no idea what was wrong w/ my popcorn until after a few failed attempts to make it and failed. I had used up almost all my kernels. I emailed LWF and was told olive oil doesn't get hot enough and so the oil wouldn't work w/ the popcorn. I visited the Eugene Farmers Market again this past Jan. and decided to get some more polenta and popcorn. The owner was so kind to remember my email and problem...she gave me a free bag of popcorn and suggested I try coconut oil. My popcorn pops perfectly and the taste is amazing. beautiful white puffs of corn w/ a lovely black shell. The polenta is very nice too. I found I have to use less water than the recipe calls for but it cooks very nicely! BIG FAN OF LONESOME WHISTLE!

As I walked up to the building, the scent of heaven wafted through the air. Just like the old…read morecartoons I felt myself being pulled and almost drifting in the air. I was warmly welcomed by a nice young woman asking if I have ever been in before? Probably because she noticed the look on my face as if I were a kid in a candy shop! Well pretty darn close, the scent alone was divine and then she offered samples to help make my decision easier, with so many flavors of freshly made flavored popcorn to choose from. They have a few seasonal flavors which I had to grab along with some classics. A few drizzled in deliciousness or dusted with cheese. They have savory and sweet, salty and sour. Like for instance the pickles and popcorn flavor or rosemary parm. They even have a caramel cheese. I grabbed a seasonal peppermint and Santa's mix. If you buy more than 5 bag then they are $10 a bag. Of course it's the holiday season and I figured why not grab a few extra bags while I'm here to add to a gift. Put this place on your list to visit if you find yourself in Newberg.

I'm not a taffy guy so I didnt get any, but if you're into taffy then this is a sweet spot for you too. They have three sections, each with rows upon rows of buckets of different flavors of taffy. Also, they have a unique thing called "sweet corn soda." I didnt try it, because I am not really a soda drinker to be honest, but I want to try it at some point when I come back, at least to say I tried it. Anyway, they have all kinds of great things, you can see from my pics that my wife got me a truffle, which went great with my coffee from the snack place next door.

Secondly, they didn't have as big a salt water taffy selection as you would expect at the Oregon coast.

The employees have been working their for years, were able to tell us all about the chocolates and we loved that if a chocolate didn't do well after 2 weeks then they didn't make it again. Everything that was out was their best sellers. The fudge we got were the milk chocolate (yum), orange creamsicle (really strong in flavor), coconut (delicious but also strong in coconut), maple pecan (best one to me, so so good). Their version of almond roca was phenomenal! Lots of taffy flavors and so much to look at it in the shop.
