    Stopped at this little hidden gem because the smell of the popcorn caught my attention . So glad i did i sampled about & different flavors before deciding. After i ate brunch i ended up coming back a second time with others & they purchased!! If your looking for party flavors for special occasions like baby showers, birthday or holiday gifts this place can get your popcorn fix needs fulfilled. The place is small inside & the popular flavors sell out early

    I love the outside ... festive!

    Popocorn? Flavored popcorn? I'm in! Literally, I just went in after I saw this place. I wasn't looking for popcorn, yet this placed "siren song'd" me into its popcorn rocks. Oh, and what a way to go! As soon as you enter, there is a board to the left with the day's flavors. However, its also fun to look at the big buckets of popcorn behind the counter as you an see some color coming through. (I'm a visual person, so this is important when collecting calories!) Since I wasn't really looking for popcorn this day, (plus I had just had a cookie AND donut before stopping in) I got two small bags to check it out. I tried the Hawaiian Hurricane, which had ingredients in it that I've never heard of. Exotic! I also tried the Vermont Granny, with white cheddar & green apple.) Out of the two, the granny mix was my fav. The Hawaiian Hurricane tasted a little stale or either the ingredients I had never heard of were not my "thang" ... it tasted good though. I should also note that you can ask for samples prior to buying. I was too overwhelmed with the choices to think about this prior. I also like to live on the edge with my popcorn experiences. So, do what feels right for you! Saying all that, whatever flavor suits your fancy, a small bag is not enough. I personally need more popcorn in my life. There are so many flavors to try and I'm sure they switch them up regularly, so you never know what you will find. What can I say? I'm a fan .. I'll be back .. I've been a"maized" by the confections of Kernel Encore. Salute!

    Kernel Encore has the best popcorn, hands down. Not only is the popcorn fabulous but the employees are super friendly and give you all the FREE samples you could want! You'll need them because there are dozens of flavors to choose from. First, my favorites: Cheddar and White Cheddar are made with real cheese and are both equally delicious. For a sweet flavor and overall best: Smores. Yes, Smores is drizzled with chocolate, dusted with graham cracker bits and even has tiny little marshmallows. I could eat an entire bag! Sounded promising but disappointing: White chocolate macadamia nut- the flavors don't mesh well together. Garlic Parmesan- too bland. Marshmallow- the marshmallow flavor is lost on the popcorn. My son loves the fruit flavored popcorn: apple, grape, cherry, strawberry, blueberry, banana- you name it. Then there are mixes like Carmel apple, blueberry cheesecake and confetti. Kernel Encore has been around for a decade. Stop by, check them out and feel like a kid again.

She patiently answered questions and gave us plenty of time to decide without leaving us to feel like we were forgotten. The restaurant has a steam punk decor which is so fun! There are three options when you walk in. You can stay and eat, pick out a delicious chocolate or sweet treat from their candy counter or you can order an ice cream/desert from the other counter. We made a reservation, which I recommend. We started with the chocolate almond bread with caramel butter. I will be dreaming about this bread for a long time! It was the prefect texture and balance of flavors! For meals we got the Monte Cristo sandwich, the Mushroom risotto and the bacon cheeseburger. The Monte Cristo was huge and very filling. Easily shareable. It came with a berry sauce and fresh berries along the side, as well as a choice of French fries or kettle chips. The risotto was creamy and delicious. There were good sized pieces of mushrooms through out. The bacon on the cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and they were long strips too. For dessert we got the Strawberry Cheesecake shake and the Brookies and cream sundae. I heard that the shake was delicious. The Brookie was a wonderful blend of soft chocolate chip cookie and chewy brownie. The cookies and cream ice cream was loaded with Oreo pieces. The whole thing was devine! It was a pricey meal for us but worth the experience.

    This is my favorite chocolate spot! I always make a point to stop by when I'm in the Orlando area…read more I think last time I was there I didn't see the people making the chocolate which I got to see this time so that was pretty cool. We got the nine pack this time of chocolates with hazelnut, espresso, pistachio, and raspberry, and they were all divine. We also got gifts for people, the chocolate covered marshmallows, and we regret not buying more of those, as well as more of the individual chocolates. They wrap the chocolates so beautifully, too. Tiny shop with a bit of a wait but so, so worth it. The chocolates are so yummy but not sickly sweet like most. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

    Ever wonder what the single best dessert item is at Disney Springs…read more.. ITS HERE!!! This s'more is more than just a s'more! Handmade Artisanal S'mores First, you can watch them make the decadence through the windows. Perfectly baked gingerbread smeared with the lavish chocolate ganache and then the cinematic wonder.. a meticulously measured square marshmallow hand toasted with a torch to ensure golden goodness on every single surface. Most mere humans would think this suffices... but Disney continues the decadence with a powdered sugar dusted Mickey on top. You will have the internal struggle of cute photo or immediate bite... for your viewing pleasure... we grabbed the photo. The service here was fantastic. They noticed my friend's birthday button and gave here a free ganachery treat as a gift. The store is a chocolate lovers dream. The interior is wonderful decorated and the created ambiance by the gorgeous glass display of all the carefully curated creations shimmers to welcome every guest to the counter. The line may go out the door, but the value is there!

    It was right after my failed attempt to park the car on the street that my boss noticed that…read morePeterbrooke Chocolatier had Gelato so naturally, after dinner, we crossed the street and walked inside. The sweet smell of sugar smacks you in the face once you enter. It's a friendly yet strong slap of everything chocolate. I walked around the shop looking at the sugar cookies, chocolate this and that, and I was pleasantly reminded of the chocolate and pastry shop in my hometown on Ocean Street. It was as if I had been transported back in time to that exact location. Seeing those sugar cookies in Valentine's, St. Patrick's, and Easter designs was a trip down memory lane. Whatever you are looking for in chocolate, Peterbrooke has it or can make it, but tonight was about Gelato I know a little something about Gelato after spending a week in Italy last year and being sweetly spolied by Black Market Gelato in Boise, Idaho. While I did not sample the Gelato here, two diners did, and the looks of pure joy and ecstasy on the face was all that I needed to know. They both had their heads back, eyes closed, and savored each spoonful of deliciousness. As a matter of fact, both of them finished their gelato in the store as it was that good. If you're in the area and need a chocolate alligator or anything else chocolate, stop by and take a stroll down memory lane and get some gelato for Pete's sake.

    I ordered the peanut butter cookie to go because it's just that incredible: chunk, chewy, and big…read more I also got suckered in, because I love fruity pebbles, and got this rice Krispy treat. To be honest it didn't live up to my expectations and this tiny item was $2.50. For the size of a starburst. I was saddened by that but the cookie makes up for it.

    Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop at Disney Springs offers a Non-Dairy Hot Fudge Sundae…read moremade with coconut ice cream, hot fudge dairy free whipped cream, diced nuts, a cherry, and a dark chocolate Ghirardelli square. Service was fairly quick considering the number of people placing and waiting for orders. I was so excited to try one of Disney's many vegan options that I didn't even mind the steep price of $23. I do have to stay though, for the price, it definitely filled me up and certainly satisfied my sweet tooth! Amazing plant based option!

    While walking around Disney Springs I came across Ghirardelli and my sweet tooth kicked in. When we…read morewalked in it was pretty loud and packed with customers. Surprisingly the line went by pretty fast. Our cashier wasn't friendly and had the attitude that she hates her job but she got our order placed. We ordered a Peppermint Hot Fudge Sundae and a Peppermint Hot Cocoa. The sundae was sooooo good! The fudge was thick and tasted of quality, I loved that they had tiny little chocolate chips with crushed peppermint pieces. All the little pieces added perfect texture to the sundae. The hot cocoa was smooth and rich and even with adding my peppermint bark square into the cup. The only negative is that these two items cost $32. Were they delicious? Absolutely but I'll probably only go to splurge once in a while.
