**July 2026: Thursday Afternoon Visit** Kettle Heroes Artisan Popcorn is such a fun Arizona made stop, and I can definitely see why they won the Devour 2026 People's Choice Award! The brand has a really distinctive local identity and if you're looking for an edible souvenir, this is a great option since their products are allergen-friendly. They're gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free, and they're also Kosher dairy-certified. I also loved that they have some Southwestern inspired flavors, which makes them feel a little more unique than your average popcorn shop. This is a standalone store, but they also sell online and at select grocery stores like AJ's Fine Foods and Fry's Foods. What I loved about visiting the shop itself is that you can sample all the different varieties, and it's nice to be able to get fresher batches and different sizes straight from the source. I ended up taking home a big bag of their prickly pear popcorn and a normal size bag of the Porcini Truffle Cheddar, which had a really nice savory flavor with real porcini mushrooms, black truffle sea salt, and organic cheddar cheese. Overall, this is a great local-made Arizona product, so support small businesses! read more

Highly recommend, amazing flavors, wonderful crunch. Stopped by with my husband a few week ago. Friendly service, clean setup, and lots of options! The quality is great! read more

What did everyone say to the kernel when he finally popped? Corn-gatulations! Decided to POP-IN for a visit for movie night. We arriving during a weekday, not busy at all. No one greeted us until later from the back however we didn't mind at all because it gave us time to taste test from the 9 flavors. Whether you're a sweet or savory person, they got you. My favorites were the churro and hatch cheddar/cheddar. By then, one of the employees greeted us and noted the tin can options and that the popcorn is good up to 6 months! My husband first tried the prickly pear popcorn from a grocery store and we liked that as well. We got a couple other bags and will be coming back again. Note, if you buy a tin can, you can bring it back for a refill for half off! Proceeds also go to veterans. read more

Great fresh and crunchy popcorn, both of the "glazed" (kettle corn and caramel corn style) and "seasoned" (cheddar, etc.) with a good variety of flavors. You can even get the Zen variety that is just a bit of oil and pink salt. I don't think there's a flavor that I don't like here and you can sample all of them at the counter. Vanessa helped us this time by and she was friendly -- we'd been in before, but we were still indecisive and she was patient with us :) This haul time was a bunch of plain kettle corn (for us and some family members), the guajillo chile lime (spicy/sweet) and churro (cinnamon sugar goodness). Not open on weekends, so plan accordingly. read more

Best popcorn in Arizona. I love that this company genuinely cares about the community. It represents veterans and shares their stories as well as frequently donating to local non profits like EmpoweRanch. When I moved here I found the prickly pear flavor at Whole foods and loved it. I started sending it as gifts back to Chicago because it's vegan friendly and my cousins love it. We are a popcorn family and now I get requests. Ever since KHAP supported my event as a senior intern at a local nonprofit, I've doubled down on sending gifts of KHAP to friends and family across the US. The staff working are super nice too. The shop is so visually appealing and cute. It has a popcorn sampling space and plenty of options to purchase in several sizes for affordable prices. Enzo was awesome the last few times I've been in too. I'm a biiiiig Zen fan. So good. Classic. If you get a chance to try the limited Pumpkin edition, oh yes, I highly recommend!:) read more

Man, this sweet and salty popcorn is my absolute favorite. It's not overly sweet, but just enough sweet to meet my craving!

This popcorn is out of this world and so much better than the competition. It's super fluffy without all the kernels and hard shells you tend to find in popcorn these days (looking at you Garrett's). The seasoning on their popcorn is super well distributed so you don't get a handful of plain popcorn. Their hatch green chile cheddar is such a unique find that should not be missed. Overall one of the best popcorn spots I ever had. Such a fun store and great cause! read more

Kettle Heroes is amazing if you love popcorn. The flavors they offer are so tasty. Give them a try everybody-- you will not regret it. The customer service is also amazing. read more

I'm no stranger to Kettle Corn. I've bought it for my kids at the zoo and sampled it at street fairs and festivals. I like it, but what I don't like is the treasure hunt aspect of eating it. You get one or two good pieces, then spend the next five minutes rummaging through the mealy, uncoated ones to find another good piece of kettle corn. Having not had any in years, I bought a small bag from Kettle Heroes at the Gilbert Farmers Market and proceeded to open it in my car and try some. I shouted "Oh my God!" out loud to my windshield. (There was no response.) I was so surprised to have fluffy, light popcorn that was evenly coated with that kettle corn stuff. There would be a different kind of treasure hunt today. I kept searching and searching for a bad piece (okay, I just kept enjoying the popcorn) and I kid you not: in the entire bag there was ONE piece that wasn't fluffy and coated and had an unpopped kernel attached. How do they manage that kind of quality control?! Then I read that they are a family owned company with great business ethics. They're active in the community, making all kinds of charitable donations. Best of all, their products are all-natural, gluten free, nut free and kosher certified. Yeah, I'm a freshly minted fan! read more

Kettle Heroes Popcorn - Never buy the small bag of Classic Kettle Corn- rookie mistake! - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

By far the best popcorn ever! I didn't think popcorn could taste this good, but the Hatch Green Chile Cheddar Popcorn is so delicious. The seasoning is so flavorful and the texture is soft. Just full of yumminess! You must try their popcorn! read more

If Enrique Iglesias were to visit this shop he might want to sing "I can be your Kettle Hero baby!" Their brick and mortar location is nestled within an area that has mainly furniture/bedding shops as well as C2 Tactical and Main Event which makes it a slightly odd location for a food establishment but hey, it works for what they sell! The store itself shares space with another totally unrelated business (That must be so tempting for people working in the other business having delicious popcorn so close to where you work all day!). I came here on a mission to get some locally made, high quality gifts. I liked how they had each of their flavors out on display for sampling and they have a mix of flavors from the more traditional like caramel and white cheddar, to more Southwestern inspired ones such as chipotle, Hatch chile and prickly pear. The best part of shopping for gifts is trying out the merchandise to make sure it meets your quality control standards so naturally I had to indulge in a few bites of popcorn samples ;). My favorites were the aged white cheddar and the Hatch chile spiced popcorn. The popcorn itself was light and crisp with just the right amount of seasoning on it. The Hatch chile spice blend is mildly spicy with just a slight amount of kick to it. If you order a bag of popcorn they'll bag it right there for you, fresh from their back room which is nice. The one negative I had about ordering from here is that I specifically came in saying I wanted to buy gifts for some people, and when I got my orders of popcorn they came in the most nondescript brown paper bags with no other labels. Even the flavors weren't easily identifiable since they were listed right at the bottom of the bag, written in Sharpie marker. I had to ask the person at the counter if there was a label that I could put on the bags since they were gifts, otherwise how do my friends know what company this popcorn came from, how do they know I didn't just pop some popcorn and bag it myself at home, and it also doesn't look as nice to give someone a gift that doesn't have any description of what it is on it. There were apparently no company labels for the bag except for some random heart shaped sticker that said to go to the Kettle Heroes website so I made do with that, while taking some business cards with me. At home I later MacGyvered my own labels that looked more official by taping those business cards on the bag and labeling the flavors myself lol. So, if you're at the shop and looking for a tasty treat for yourself, this is a great popcorn place. If you're looking for a gift, it might not be the best looking present on the outside but your recipient will be grateful for the delicious contents inside. UPDATE: Based on the owner's response apparently they do have more professional looking gift bags but I wasn't told about them when I was here. Good to know! read more

OMG! I'm a travel nurse who came to help out with the crisis response here in AZ. I discovered this popcorn in the hospital cafeteria. I've only had the hatch green chile and the white cheddar so far. This stuff is so addicting! Will definitely have to pick up some extra bags on my way out of town, for myself, and for gifts. I see there are a couple other flavors I need to try like the prickly pear and the truffle flavor. Looking forward to those! Mmmmm! So good! So flavorful! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves popcorn!!! read more

My daughter and I got a bag of the hatch chile popcorn and when I got home to eat it, I noticed that they filled it with tiny, popcorn dust!

Kettle Heroes Popcorn - Custom Popcorn for #pluscasitasaguaro - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I was determined to write a review for this company. I'm completely impressed with their customer service as they were extremely responsive and thoughtful. Love their popcorn. Wish they would bring back the Truffle popcorn. I encourage everyone to try it if they do! Hatch green Chile cheddar is fantastic and not to spicy at all. I'm a wimp when it comes to spice. Keep up the good work "Kettle Hereos". Other companies could learn a lot from your customer service team. read more

Im not even exaggerating when I say while working at Sprouts Farmers Market, I was absolutely OBSESSED and addicted to the Chipotle Cheddar flavored Kettle Heroes Artisan Popcorn. Im pretty sure I was the reason they were sold out of it half the time. read more

Some people are wine aficionados, and some with very refined taste- are popcorn aficionados. While I'm no expert- I do know quality and superior taste, which is why I appreciate Kettle Heroes so much. Kettle corn is a fun treat, and mostly done well. Kettle Heroes takes it to a whole different level. Their kettle corn is SO fresh, and has the perfect amounts of sweet and salty. It's just perfect. While kettle corn seems so simple to make- to perfect it at this level takes skill and experience. Next time you're out and about- keep your eyes peeled for Kettle Heroes. Your taste buds will do cartwheels when they taste all the flavor they pack into each bag. In the meantime- I'm on the hunt for more of this kettle corn- it's epic! Keep up the great work guys! read more

Honestly for popcorn I would give 4 mainly because it was a bit too salty for me. There were some salty pieces that felt like too much salt were sprinkled. However... I ordered groupon for this since I came across and I love kettle corn. They offer warehouse pickup from 8 to 5 Monday thru Friday so you don't have to spend $$$ on shipping if you live local. I did not know about pick up time as it was not stated anywhere. After I placed an order I contacted them and asked about their hours and found out. Unfortunately my work hours completely overlaps with their's even though I literally live in the neighborhood (right across). They offered to drop it off at my apartment saying it's right around corner for them...which was very nice of them :) I give 5 stars for their superior customer service and quick responses. Thanks!! read more

I'm a sucker for a good cause, so I love that 20% of the profits go to the Pat Tillman Foundation. Good for you Kettle Heros! One of my all-time favorite flavor combinations is green chile & cheese, so when I saw them put out the Hatch Green Chile Cheddar popcorn, I knew I had to have it. It did not disappoint. It was perfectly cheesy with a green chile kick. I also sampled the chipotle cheese flavor which was delicious as well. Of course, I needed something to wash down my tasty treat...so I got the strawberry lemonade. It was the perfect level of sweet and just a little tart. I could drink a gallon of that stuff! read more

Great stuff, the right balance of crunch, sweet and salty. Always try to grab a bag from their truck when I am at the Mesa feastivle at Pioneer Park. read more

I am in love with their Cayenne Lime Kettle Corn! I first saw these guys at the Bridal Show this month and I am so beyond happy I found them! The chipotle flavored kettle corn is amazing too, smoky but it's not over powering! I am going to be ordering some of their popcorn for my wedding so I can tell everyone I know how delicious this stuff is!!! If you have not tried their kettle corn yet, you MUST!!! I already told my fiancé I always have to have a bag of their kettle corn, always!! read more

Kettle Heroes Popcorn - This is their Cayenne Lime Kettle Corn! I am so beyond happy I found them! The chipotle flavored kettle corn is amazing too! - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Oh Em Gee... best popcorn ever!!! I requested for this truck to come to our office for a company event and I am so glad that I did! First of all Mr. Kettle Hero himself, John, was very gracious and super nice, just like a super hero! Kettle corn is my favorite and it's perfectly sweet and salty for me. They do have a variety of flavors like hatch green chili cheddar, aged white cheddar, cinnamon sugar kettle corn and cayenne lime kettle corn to name a few. Plus the different types of lemonade to drink with your popcorn has a lot of choices too sweetened just right! They support local communities so that makes them awesome! It is a "must try"!!! Look for them through their website, you won't regret it... read more

I had the Zen popcorn at Banner Hospital in Tucson. It was so delicious that I had my sister bring me some more. When I realized the store was only 15 minutes away I was excited. I love that you can try all the flavors but I have to say, the Zen I bout in the store does not taste nearly as good as what I bought pre-bagged at banner. I'm hoping I just got an off batch. Unfortunately, I can't find Zen at any store here in the Chandler area. read more

Vegan popcorn options! I've loved every flavor I've tried and I love that they have lots of the options are vegan. Pretty reasonably priced, and I've even seen them at sprouts (fresh is better). read more

I saw this well designed bag of cinnamon sugar churros sitting on the shelf and had to try them. I mean the see through window revealed some yummy looking popcorn inside. I got in my truck and ripped off the top of the bag with one rip. Any minute now I would be dining on some sweet goodness. Wait a minute, the bag won't open at the zip. I'll just tug on it. Hmm a little more effort should do it. Getting frustrated I double pulled it from both sides. Nothing! Sure looks yummy. After getting no where for 15 minutes I finally cut the zip feature off to get to the content. Somehow the effort wasn't worth it in the end. read more

Kettle Heroes did favors for our wedding. We had never tried this popcorn before but it all looked good, had great reviews and the customer service was amazing so we gave it a shot. We were 110% satisfied. They arrived exactly when we requested and were perfect! We did the Hatch Green Chile and Cinnamon Sugar flavors and they tasted amazing!! Definitely recommend!! read more

Stopped in here on a whim and was pretty impressed. Very generous with the flavor samples, and willing to do half-and-half with two flavors. I settled on the caramel corn and cinnamon popcorn - the classic sweet and sweet combination. It was a nice treat the day of, and the resealable bag made it a handy to-go snack for the next couple days. Delicious!! read more

Holy yumminess! Great popcorn made by great people! I got 4 bags of the Cayenne Lime Kettle Corn because I fell in love with it at first bite, and I'm still just as much in love with it as I was before. I definitely recommend this popcorn to anyone thinking about trying it! read more

Wow!!!! I have nothing but 5 stars PLUS for this place! The popcorn is AMAZING and you are talking to an Ohio girl who has been addicted to popcorn since she was 5, had her dentist chew her out for eating old maids and has fallen asleep with her hand in the bag to be woken up by her teenagers saying "really mom??!!" LOL .... I had lucky experience of meeting the "MOM" of the owners who brought me my popcorn due to they are moving (WAHOO!! CLOSER TO ME BY IKEA WARNER AND THE I-10) itself was AMAZING!!!!!!! What other business in 2016 would deliver for you because they are behind in moving and didn't want you to wait??....hmmm....that would be hardly NO ONE! The Zen is incredible, the cinnamon sugar to die for and the Cayenne Lime is my new addiction!! I live in Arizona where spicy is the norm and this popcorn ROCKS!!! I can't wait to go to the new store when it opens (supposedly this week) and meet the son/daughter of the incredibly sweet woman who I met tonight at my door, and load up on this wonderful popcorn for the holidays!! I am looking forward to sharing my new found fav with my co-workers for Christmas presents this year!! I will DEFINATELY be the favorite co-worker that is for SURE!! So, if you are an addict like me, just looking for a little "corn" for the holidays or just love supporting our local business you will not be disappointed in Kettle Heroes....(they also apparently do smaller bags for party,wedding or even little christmas surprises for your friends and neighbors (which I just learned tonight on my patio from their "momma!" }} Take care my fellow yelpers and Happy Holiday Shopping!! HUGS! read more

Always flavorful and crunchy. Love their kettle corn. They use to park at Walmart on Elliot and Priest, but have moved. Anyway, sometimes I do find them at the food truck roundups. So yummy. read more

Very helpful people and yummy kettle corn! You can tell they genuinely care about making a super high quality product. Thank you!

We usually pick up some of this popcorn at the Gilbert Farmers Market. I usually get the plain because it is that good. My husband, who does not like popcorn at all likes this popcorn. I have also tried the Cayenne Lime and the regular kettle corn. All are really good. read more

We invite food trucks to our office to help raise money for our annual breast cancer walk in October. We just ask to keep 10% of the profits (after they meet their quota). We had schedule Kettle Heroes to come to our office. Took the time to spread the word with the school next door along with several large businesses in the area... Typically it is a successful event. Upon arrival there was a car, from the school next door, in our parking lot of which obstructed a straight shot for him to pull in and set up. This of course led him to pull forward, back up, pull forward. We recently just had our parking lot resurfaced and when you have larger trucks such as a food truck on it, the pull forward, back up, pull forward can cause long term damage. Our CEO noticed it and asked that he just stay were he is and tried to explain the situation. Kettle Heroes took it upon himself and made a hasty decision and left. Then called and chewed out the girl who he had been in contact with here at work. As far as their product is...I am clueless; more let down then anything. But if this is the way they do business..... Food trucks are a dime dozen, on to the next. Event planners beware. read more

I found this place by accident! Omg I love their kettle corn the pumpkin pie flavor, is amazing! It is so addicting !!! Buy this stuff.

I was looking for a gift to send to a customer in Scottsdale/Phoenix on short notice and Kettle Heroes came through in a big way. They were able to customize an exisitng basket to what I needed and also included a note. They even added a logo and delivered the basket at the time I requested. Thanks Rudi for the great service and great communication! read more
