    White cheddar  popcorn
    Michael D.

    Absolutely fantastic popcorn!!! Full kernels with great flavors. Fave is white cheddar popcorn. Then the caramel! Even the plain, just salted us fantastic! Always SO happy to see their truck.

    Solid, some of the best kettle corn popcorn, consistent and covered with just enough sweet. Even when delivered very consistent! Miss having them in the city, moved up to Albany for now.

    My favorite on 45th bet 5th and 6th mmmm

    Many blue moons ago...thee very first time I tried Kettle Corn was at a street fair in Manhattan followed by they having a temporary space in the Bryant Park Holiday Shops. My dad got super duper hooked on Kettle Corn and he loves the Caramel one a lot. For awhile I couldn't get to their location site so instead I brought my dad Kettle Corn from a local vendor in Flushing. My dad liked their popcorn but it was definitely no comparison to the supreme of Kettle Corn. Hands down thee yummiest popcorn. When you buy only one they always give you a discount to buy more. They accept credit cards but added taxes with a swipe.

    Kettle Corn NYC makes a great party favor!

    I had seen Kettle Corn NYC around the city for a couple of years but I never stopped to buy a bag- I can't believe what I've been missing. This is such delicious and fresh kettle corn! I found Kettle Corn NYC on Yelp when looking for a carnivalesque catering option for a school event and they were super easy to work with. Carla reached out to us very soon after our inquiry and worked with our organization to determine the best order for our needs. The payment process was super simple and we were able to have the popcorn delivered a few days before our event. Their individual packaged bags make for great party favors. We ordered a couple hundred original and caramel flavored bags and they even threw in a couple of dozen chocolate ones as well. They were a hit with our crowd of over 400 guests! We will most definitely be working with them again in the future!

    Original!

    Wowowowow!! I've passed this truck so many times and I can't believe I only recently tried this. My friend bought it over and after that I had to find the truck to get more. They have a variety of flavors including some spicy flavors but the best one has to be the original kettle flavor. SO. GOOD. SO. ADDICTING. I bought two bags to work and everyone loved them! Be careful eating this alone because you can easily run through a whole bag if you're not paying attention. That's how good it is. During the week they are located in the city and on the weekends they're mainly in Queens. The best way to find them is to follow them on their Instagram. Also keep in mind that they don't open when it rains. They prefer cash but will accept credit cards with a fee. I try the other flavors but always resort back to the original. They are very generous with samples so make sure you try the other flavors!

    Awesome stuff! Crispy crunchy popcornery goodness! Love that the kettle corn truck is parked on the Upper East Side now by 86 Street Lexington Avenue subway stop lately! Bought three bags home and like a crack addict started to wolf them down non-stop while watching TV in the dark. I would have gnawed off someone's arm if they tried to take some away from me. If you reach into my bag be ready to lose a few fingers. There's no sharing in kettle corn! Chedder, original, and cararmel flavored. They are all delicious. You just can't go wrong with anything off this truck. One of the best snacks in all of NYC. Good prices and the counter guy will also throw in a deal to get an extra bag for half price. Sure, he's a shyster but who am I to argue? I happily threw him my cash for that extra bag. Like a pusher to my addiction he owns me.......

    Kettle corn rocks!!!! Especially the caramel ones. Mmmm I ordered a few bags for my baby shower as party favors. "Tania's ready to POP" get it?! Hahhahaha They were nice enough to throw in a few free bags since I order a lot. I picked them up in the city and they packed them up for me and put them in a box and carried it to my car. I can't remember the guys name that helped me but he was awesome. I think I picked them up on a Thursday and my shower was on a Saturday. Popcorn was still fresh and not one bit stale. Winning!!!! Everyone loved it and wanted mo You can find them in the city or right here in Forest Hills. If your look them up, it tells you exactly where they will be and the times.

    I don't know what happened...one minute I'm being introduced to salty/sweet popcorn, and the next minute I'm spending $50 on it for myself and friends. Who knew that kettle corn could be combined with so many flavors, and be so wonderfully tasty??? I've liked all the flavors I've tried so far. The ones that stand out are Natural Cheddar and Chili Lime. Right now, you can find this vendor at Bryant Park. I guess they will be there until the Christmas shoppes close. You've got time, so pop to it!!

    Their kettle corn is addicting. I first tried it when my friend brought a bag to our friend's going away dinner. I've been trying to find a chance to track down their truck ever since. Unfortunately, they are nowhere near where I work, so I can't get it often. Fortunately, my boyfriend works near their truck, so I told him to get me a bag. He got me 4. I enjoyed the popcorn so much, I went on a day off and got 3 more bags. The original kettle corn is crispy on the outside which I love, but smooth on the inside. Not the soft and almost stale-like texture most kettle corn have. I brought a bag home for my parents and they loved the texture of it too. Their other flavors are great as well. Other Flavors: Chocolate - Tastes like cocoa puffs or some kind of chocolate cereal. I prefer the chocolate covered caramel popcorn over this. Cheddar - No crunchy shell, but still had a great texture Sour Cream and Chive - Tastes similar to white cheddar. Garlic Parmesan - One of their specials. Not too strong in garlic flavor. Cajun BBQ - Spicy with a smoky BBQ taste. This one has a crunchy shell. Chili Lime - One of my favorites. It's spicy with a hint of lime. I think they put celery seed in the spice mix which gives it a really complex flavor. Really addicting. Zesty Ranch - Also another punch of flavor. Tastes similar to the Chili Lime, but slightly more cheesy. You definitely have to get the original, but my favorite is the Chili Lime. They'll give you a discount the more bags you buy. My absolute favorite popcorn place is Pittsburgh Popcorn Company (...in Pittsburgh...), but since I can't easily get popcorn from there, this truck is a worthy replacement. I just wish they would come down to the Lower Manhattan area. Like right by my office would be nice, instead of those annoying buses. But I would still travel just to get popcorn from here.

    Spicy cheddar - 99% surface area at drenched-coated-perfection. So good

    Maybe my expressive love for this popcorn was a success because for my birthday I receive boxes of this INCREDIBLY MAGNIFICENT popcorn from different parties. It's always good to drop hints throughout the years so everyone remembers what to get you. Receiving boxes in the mail of this goodness is the best medicine anyone can get. It's so addictive. Maybe KettlecornNYC should start a monthly popcorn club subscription. The popcorn arrived fresh as if I was eating it at the truck. Im also ready to get a white xs sweatshirt that says "I love Kettlecorn NYC for life" that way I optimizers the frequency of my potential future gifting. My sincere true love to the Kettlecorn family!

    Regular kettle corn and Carmel cheddar
    Celeste B.

    After hearing about this popcorn company for sometime I finally came across their truck one Sunday afternoon. They offer samples of their product so I tried a few flavors before I made my flavor choice. I was hooked immediately on the combination of the buttery, salty yet sweet flavors. I chose the regular kettle as well as the cheddar caramel flavors. This is some of the best popcorn that I've ever had so I'll be on the look out for their truck regularly.

    Ming T.

    I'm probably going to regret purchasing popcorn from here...I've become addicted... I would always see this truck in Queens/Forest Hills (71st Ave & Austin St.) on the weekends. I decided to just take a peep at the truck to see what flavors they had. I asked the guy outside the truck, that was offering samples, if it was possible to try a certain flavor and he didn't hesitate to pour me a little cups worth. I tried the cheddar/caramel flavor which was pretty good, a nice mixture of sweet and salty. I ended up buying 4 bags on my next visit..(I wanted to see if my fam wanted which flavor...bc I was not going to share...lol) I ended up getting the cheddar/ caramel and the spicy cheddar for myself. I liked the spicy cheddar better than the one I tasted. It had a nice spice to it, with a hint of cumin.. I think I will get a bigger bag next time. My total for the 4 bags was $19, and for a even $20, the guy offered to throw in a bag of regular kettle flavor, deal!!! This will definitely be my new go to for kettle popcorn...

    Caramel cheddar
    David H.

    Just tried this delicious flavored kettle corn for the first time in my life and wow did it taste good. I used to think Garret's popcorn from Chicago was the best but this is now my favorite. I tried most of the flavors and went with the caramel cheddar and cheddar and spice. Man each popped kernel was nice and crunchy and the flavor was so robust. Well done by the creator. Wish I had know. About this truck earlier. They should really have a store that sells and makes it because I would be going weekly. It's that good.

    Addiction fueled!

I was at the Co-op the next day. A variety of their breads are located in a shelf display across the aisle from all the other breads. I saw sandwich rolls, French baguettes, plain sourdough, three seeds sourdough, whole wheat sourdough, plain challah, everything topped challah, and a couple of variations that I don't recall. Some of the loaves are also available in half-loaf sizes. I purchased a loaf of 3 Seed Sourdough ($8.69) and a loaf of Everything topped Challah ($7.29). Both are excellent in their own right. The 3 seeds on the sourdough are organic dry roasted pumpkin, organic dry roasted sunflower, and organic golden flax seeds. Anicca makes a point of stating that they make every attempt to obtain all their ingredients within 200 miles of the Troy bakery. The sourdough has a nice chewy crust and a decent sour flavor. The challah has a softer crust than the sourdough, just a bit of sweetness and a slightly lighter colored crumb. The challah is also double bagged for some reason. The loaf is placed in a plastic bag before it is placed in the outer paper bag. Maybe that was to protect the everything topping? If you visit their web page https://aniccabakery.com/ you will learn that you can order online and pickup your order at Alias Coffee Shop in Troy. You may also notice that their web page does not mention all the varieties of bread that I saw at the Co-op and shows a more limited production schedule. Maybe their web page is just not up to date. Another issue I ran into was knowing whether the bread was fresh. Glancing at the information on the label of my two choices, I saw that the sourdough was labeled as "Date Baked on10/29/25" (GREAT! That was today), while the challah was labeled as "Date Baked 10/30/25." WAIT!!! How can that be? 10/30/25 is not until TOMORROW!!! I checked several other packages and found that all the packages of challah were labeled with tomorrow's date. As an aside, does that mean I wouldn't be able to eat the challah until tomorrow? LOL Or better yet, if I eat it today does that mean the carbs don't exist yet? Still, LOL. In any event, a Co-op employee noticed my confusion and insisted on informing management while wondering if this meant the sourdough could have actually been sitting on the shelf since 10/28/25. Today or not, but probably tomorrow also, both breads were excellent. I'm looking forward to trying a whole wheat sourdough.

    I recently had a very disappointing experience at Pizza Express on Western Avenue in Albany…read more After a long day of work and doctor appointments, I was excited to find the only place open late at night. I placed an order through their app for a Baked Pasta Combo Entree with a side of chicken, a salad, cheese fries with marinara dipping sauce, their signature bone-in buffalo wings with garlic Parmesan, and a beef gyro meal with a side of pita bread and rice. The total came to $56.48. I placed the order at 12:08PM and arrived at the store at 12:25am. They said it would be ready at 12:27Am. I walked inside the store at 12:40 after giving them another few minutes as I wanted a slice of pizza to eat on my 20 minute drive home. The pizza was great and I was tempted to order another slice but when I walked in, they had already given me my web order, which was surprisingly already sitting in the corner ready and waiting for me. The containers were steaming hot, which made me question how they could have prepared my food so quickly. When I got home, I was extremely disappointed. While I enjoyed the slice of pizza I had while waiting in the store, everything else was a complete waste of money. The chicken wings were not fresh and seemed to have been reheated in a oven as the aluminum containers they were in was filled of oil. The French fries were soggy and not fresh as if they were made in a oven as well. They lacked flavor and tasted like they were frozen fries placed in an oven to be reheated. The gyro over rice was shaved lamb meat or beef served over plain white rice with green peppers and onions. Despite being hungry, I could only manage to pick at the gyro platter and pick at the French fries. I placed everything else in the fridge to take back to the store for a refund when they reopened the next day. The next day when I called the store, I spoke with Iyahd, who hung up on me mid-sentence as I was explaining my concerns. It appears he assumed I was a college student, given their location across from UAlbany and their late-night hours catering to students. None of the food seemed freshly prepared, and the pizzas sitting in the window for display even looked old. I asked for a refund for the pasta dish and the bone-in wings, but Iyahd refused and called the manager or owner, explaining the situation in their language (not English). I reiterated that I wanted a refund for everything I did not eat, but my request was declined by him. Overall, this experience was deeply disappointing. I would not recommend Pizza Express to anyone looking for fresh, quality food, especially late at night. The owner said he would issue me a refund on Saturday when I spoke with him. I left everything on his counter even the picked at French fries and the half left gyro platter. Today is Tuesday, September 24, 2024 and he issued a refund of $31.58. In essence, he was still charging me for the gyro platter and cheese fries. I will never order from them again and I recommend that others don't.
