The famous Chicago style Garrett Mix (formerly known as "Chicago Mix" per my friends) combines two distinct recipes: CaramelCrisp and CheeseCorn. Its core ingredients are Non-GMO popcorn kernels, brown sugar, organic brown rice syrup (or corn syrup), unsalted butter, coconut oil, and real cheddar cheese. The end result is the best popcorn you have ever tasted! It is also gluten free! We walked over to this shop as we were staying close by. I'm not sure about the parking situation. We bought 3 bags.

This time, I was actually spending several days in Chicago, so it was only natural for my friend and me to swing by the first Garrett Popcorn Shop we found near our hotel to buy gifts for people at home. We stopped by the 173 N Michigan Avenue location, and there was no line at first (though there was when we were leaving). We saw a whole bunch of options from the Chicago-style Garrett Mix (caramel and cheddar) to Caramel Crisp, Cheese Corn, Almond Caramel Crisp, and Pecan Caramel Crisp. We decided it only made sense to get the Chicago-style Garrett Mix for everyone. The service was quick, and the employee helping us was helpful and walked us through the best deals to get the most items. We ended up getting $5 off (due to how much we ordered) plus got an additional discount due to the number we ordered, too. We chose tins for the ease of packing and travel, which is considered a part of the "Build Your Bundle" promotion. The hours at this location are generally 10 AM to 7 PM though that is subject to change. Like at many other stores, there were also options for Frango Chocolate mixed in or using the app or website for Skip the Line & Order Ahead options. They also provide for meetings and events. If you sign up on their website for their newsletter, you can earn $10 in savings. Since 1949, they have been creating special experiences for customers. As they state on their website, they are "more than just popcorn!" To me, it's a taste of Chicago!

I pass by this place alot when traveling to/fro work as it's in the Metra station. I had a little bit of extra time on 7/9/26 so I went in and got a mix of Smokin Hot, BBQ and Cheddar. A small is $4.99. The guy waiting on me was very nice. After leaving and getting on the train to eat my popcorn, I regretted not getting a bigger size. Fresh, delish! Much better than Garrett's as I don't eat theirs anymore - it doesn't taste fresh like it used to. I will definitely be back. The next time I will just get the bbq & smokin' hot together.

However,…read morealmost all places and bakeries you walk into have, at smallest, a cookie the size of one's face. I'm looking to satisfy my sweet tooth, not have a full meal in dessert form! Windy City Sweets fits the bill perfectly! They have a very wide selection of all sorts of sweet goodies! Homemade chocolates and candies, commercially made candies, ice cream, jelly beans by weight (buttered popcorn is peak, and you can't change my mind). There are likely many others, but I found what my heart was craving and went for it. Looking at their selection, there is something for everyone, even stuffed animals! (Eating these is not recommended, HA!) I suppose a candy shop has *some* appeal to the young and young at heart, so why not? I also love that they have reasonable prices, are open late-ish (until 9pm), and have friendly, welcoming service. Final verdict: To make it dead-simple: if you have a sweet tooth, and are within a couple miles of Northalsted, get yourself in here already!

After waiting about 30 minutes without much movement, we decided to place an online order instead and return later. Our order was ready between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., so be prepared for a wait during peak hours. The drinks were good, but they didn't particularly stand out to me. I personally preferred the Ube coffee over the tea-based drink. The breakfast sandwiches, however, were the highlight of our visit. They were incredibly flavorful, and the tocino paired perfectly with the other ingredients, making for a delicious and satisfying meal. One thing that could improve the experience would be having a staff member outside providing estimated wait times. Without any updates, it was difficult for guests to know how long the line would take, especially since the restaurant becomes very busy and closes relatively early. From what I could see, the interior looked beautiful, modern, and very clean. Overall, despite the long wait, the food was well worth trying. If you plan to visit, I recommend arriving early or placing an online order to save time.

The crust was thin and crispy, with a large air cavity, making it very soft and fluffy. The salted egg yolk has just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, and wasn't too cloying. Garlic Cheese Brioche Bun蒜香奶酪麵包: Perhaps its more Taiwanese name is "八蒜包" (Eight Garlic Bun). Its appearance and taste were very similar to those I've had at Taiwanese bakeries in mainland China. The cheese and garlic flavors were very strong, but the bread itself was slightly coarse. Hojicha Latte: The whole milk was very milky, but the hojicha flavor felt a little weak.

Last time I ordered, I ordered 2 Turtle and 1 Chocolate drizzle, Creamy Dill Pickle and a 1 gallon of Cheese. When my order arrived, I had several concerns besides the delay in receiving my popcorn. It took about 10 days to get it, shipping from Chicago to Milwaukee. First, instead of 2 turtle, & 1 Choc. Drizzle, there were 3 Turtle. Second, the bags of the chocolate popcorns had Chocolate fingerprints on the outside of the bag and 1 bag had a slit on the back of the bag. Third, the 'gallon' of Cheese was only 3/4 full. I called to inform them of the error in the order, getting a gallon container only 3/4 full and that the packaging had Chocolate fingerprints all over the bags. Made me wonder if anyone even wore gloves...you could see lines of the ridges of a fingerprint! The response was cold, defensive and rude from the guy who answered the phone. I was told they would have to call me back and hung up before I could confirm which number to call back. I did receive a call back and was told by the woman that she packed the bags herself, she just 'mislabeled' one of the bags but if I would send her a picture of them, she would be able to identify which one was the Chocolate Drizzle. I sent a pic (as shown below), her response was "I will send you a new bag of Chocolate Drizzle". I also mentioned the bags having chocolate fingerprints on the back of the bag & 1 bag slit, she basically ignored that and didn't respond to that information. Her response to the 1 gallon container being only 3/4 full was that "things tend to settle in shipping". Overall, I was unimpressed with the owners response to my multiple concerns. This was very disappointing as I really love their popcorn, will miss it but I will find another place to purchase from. They definitely don't deserve my money or business.
