The owner is so friendly. There are lots of flavors to choose from, and a lot of nostalgic candy. It's a small shop, but it doesn't need to be huge. The spicy cheddar popcorn is my absolute favorite!! They suggest keeping it in the fridge, but it's even better straight from the freezer. It is like it was freshly popped every time! read more

Love this place! First came here when we were in town house hunting. The owner, Diane, is fantastic! Very personable and super friendly! Their popcorn flavors seem to be never ending and there is a flavor for everyone! They also have a full wall of bulk candies to choose from including several i haven't see since my childhood! Our favorite thing here is the steamer puffs! You have to get a bag when you stop in- be careful though- because once you start eating them you won't be able to stop! We live this little shop and stop by whenever we are in need of a sweet little treat or some easy snack gifts for friends! read more

Man this place has some POP! Went to Le Claire while on a business trip and saw this place as we were driving by. Decided to stop in and check it out and I am glad we did. Open the door and BAM your nose is inundated with the smell of popcorn. You'd think you were about to see a movie! They have all different kinds of popcorn. I tried some carmel popcorn that they had for sample and it was fabulous. I bought a bag of peanut butter and jelly flavored popcorn and it was excellent. The lady that was working was very nice and went into many details on how they make the different flavors. If popcorn isn't your thing then check out the candies they have! I bought some pecan clusters that were amazing. They had many different kinds of chocolate and some hard candy as well. Give Kernel Cody's a try if you are within 30 minutes of Le Claire. You will NOT regret it! #Yelp100 read more

On our trip to Le Claire we made a stop at Kernel Cody's, which boasts more than 30 flavors of popcorn. President Obama visited on August 16, 2011. I bought Tutti Fruitti popcorn, which included grape, cherry, green apple, lemon, butter and many others. It was delicious! read more

I have been coming to Kernel Cody's for years!! I come every year at Christmas time and buy a ton!! I ship it to friends and family all over. I was a little late one year and got phone calls as to when they would be getting their popcorn. Everyone looks forward to this popcorn. Absolutely love it!! I try new flavors every year and try to give a new flavor to everyone. But I have to say the cheese is everyone's go to favorite, hands down. read more

First time to Le Claire today! They have a nice selection of candy. We bought two bags for each child. We also purchased shaved ice. The gal that made the shaved ice treat packed it just right and soaked it in extra juice just to be sure we'd have flavor till the end. She was wonderful! The other person there was the owner, I believe. He was real nice too. Overall, you've got to be sure to stop. It's small, but I promise you'll find a sweet treat or some popcorn to go home with. read more

Wow! Make sure you don't leave town without it...sorry I didn't by a lifetime supply. Carmel Apple is just toooo good!

LOVE Kernel Cody's Popcorn Shoppe!! We have tried a lot of different flavors/combinations - and they are all delicious - incredibly fresh - in fact, every time I have gone in there, the owner and/or her friendly smiling employee greet me, even while they are hard at work. Sweet & Salty Caramel, Mississippi Mud, Reese's - a wonderful treat!!!! read more

What a joke! Poor business, 3rd time coming to LeClaire to get popcorn and it's closed! What kind of business is closed during the week in the middle of the day? Have been once and loved the popcorn can't go back to get more because they are always closed! So sad! read more

Love this store! I got the toffee bar popcorn. It's amazing! For sure going back for more!

The best popcorn in Eastern Iowa or Western Illinois! They have a great variety of flavors--don't be afraid to try them all! My favorite is the Cinnamon! Or Snickers! Or Caramel! Or Cheese! Oh, wait! I love the Salted Caramel! (See what I mean--try them all!) While you're there, get some chocolate or some old-fashioned candy, too! GREAT customer service tops off the GREAT popcorn! read more
