Papa Bear Popcorn is the perfect place for getting a little treat for someone (or yourself). I picked out a few flavors to give with gifts for the holiday season. Their mini size has about 3 cups of popcorn and is perfect for trying multiple flavors - but they also offer larger sizes or tins with up to 3 flavors. They have so many flavors to choose from it's hard to pick!! They also have lots of candy in the store you can fill up a bag with to purchase. This visit I got Chicago mix (cheesy and caramel), cheesy ranch, puppy chow, and movie theater butter. The puppy chow didn't get gifted because it looked so good we had to try it on the way home. It has both popcorn and chunks of classic puppy chow Chex in the mix and was delicious, I would come back just to buy that flavor again! read more

No more driving ,flying or shipments from Chicago for popcorn this place is so good stopped by yesterday and loved it try the Chicago mix a buttery carmel and a cheesy flavor that's so awesome ,thanks for your business read more

We like the popcorn but this is the second time I have been there and the lady who was behind the counter was unfriendly. I'll be finding a more friendly establishment to patronize. read more

I used Papa Bear Popcorn for my sister's bridal shower favors. Their small bags are perfect for gifts! It was hard to choose what flavor because they have so many but I took my mom with and she was able to help. I loved that they bagged it fresh for us! The only downside was that I had ordered about 15 bags and other customers had to wait so I felt bad. read more

February 4th was my second time at Papa Bear. The first time the popcorn was just okay, but not nearly as good as some supermarket Chicago style. This most recent time, the popcorn had a distinctly off taste. Two of us purchased popcorn and neither of us could eat it. One bag was white cheddar and caramel and the other was regular cheddar and sea salt caramel. Both bags had a strange chemical taste, perhaps old oil or a burned flavor? We took one bite and had to throw the rest away. I don't recommend for popcorn but they do have a variety of candy. read more

Papa Bear Popcorn offers multiple sizes and gifting options of fresh popped popcorn. It seems that they make some base flavors daily and then build on them when you order. Some of the flavors get mixed by the employees in the back after an order is placed. This makes some of the flavor only on the top of the pieces and not penetrate the popcorn. Papa Bear offers so many flavors they have to have a menu card. My personal favorites are Snake Eyes, Spicy Buffalo, Extra Cheesy Cheese, and Sea Salt Carmel. You can ask for a few samples while you look at all of the flavor options. I do love supporting local businesses. Children love this store with all of the colorful candied popcorns, candy jars, and soda options. You can order online or call in orders right now and they will be brought out to your car when you arrive. read more

I will give this a two because the popcorn is okay. Its not out if this works for the money and I've definitely had better. The main complaint is that it is a bit soggy. Like if you cook butter and pour it over popcorn at home it gets wet and soggy. Its not quite that bad, however it is not like other popcorns that use a dry flavoring so there is some moisture. The main reason for my rating is the staff. She was so rude from the moment we walked in the door. Seriously we felt uncomfortable. It seemed as if she had better things tibdi than her job and we were bothering her. And don't expect help with sizes and prices of sizes of Tins because it won't happen. I also was very put off that they have a breast cancer tin with the insignia and I thought if you used that you had to donate to the cause so I asked if they did and she rudely snapped at me that they do not. If you own this place you should know I read other reviews noting this problem and almost didnt give because in these times people want to give out and have a nice time, not be treated badly. Regardless, I had told several people about this place and a few were planning a visit. After our visit and hearing our review of how we were treated they changed their minds. We also should have walked out and ordered from one of the many popcorn shops around the states that ship, have more flavors, do donate, and their staff are friendly. Speaking from a travelers who likes little mom and pop shops and and remembers them long after I should lol read more

I've seen this place for years and finally stopped in. I wasn't impressed with either popcorn flavor we purchased. The Chicago style tasted stale and just meh. The cheese popcorn just didn't have much flavor, which isn't great, especially when you're paying premium prices. The young woman at the counter was friendly but the woman in back bagging up our order did not seem like she was having a good day. She was six feet from us but never made eye contact and only spoke to the young woman taking our order. It was a weird vibe, since we were the only ones in the store! read more

I am bewildered. Should I be upset that PBP is all the way out in Chesterfield? Or Should I be happy that it isn't close to home? I'm going with the later, because this popcorn is damn good. I noticed Papa as I was approaching, The Shack for a late breakfast and made a mental note to visit once I had eaten. Once I finished eating, I headed up to PBP. The parking lots for both strip centers are connected, so it was easy-peasy. I didn't have to get back on Clayton Road. As I entered the store, I was immediately greeted by one of the young men working. I was also overwhelmed with the variety of popcorn flavors. I was also impressed that they offer Chicago and Big Chicago in their flavor varieties. Big Chicago has more cheddar mix on the popcorn in that blend. I was pleased with the amount on Chicago, it was a perfect blend to the caramel. Heads, up! The caramel they use here is house made and is an old family recipe. A nice touch for a local business, to share a family treat with the community. They also had a variety of candies, including the famous, Jelly Belly's. If shopping for a gift, you have a variety of sports tins to choose from. GO BLUES, CARDINALS and MIZZU! This is an easy find now that I know where they are. Only problem is, that it is near my dentist. Guess I'll be definitely flossing on the regular after eating this popcorn. As fast as my bag disappeared, is testimonial of how good it is. Will I return? - I bought a bag at 11 AM and it was gone at 2 PM When: January 2, 2018 Why: It's a popcorn store and I love popcorn read more

With its glass jars filled with all manner of wrapped candies and the various flavors of popcorn on offer, Papa Bear Popcorn is a feast for the senses. The caramel popcorn is my favorite, we also tried the cheese which is a solid choice. I am glad this place isn't closer to me as I could get in some serious trouble. I'm usually leery about the self service jars of sweets but everything here seemed spic and span. There are also wrapped candies near the register available for sampling along with old-school soda flavors in bottles (rootbeer, orange soda, etc). Definitely a place to go to satisfy a sugar fix. read more

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon on the way home. Always wanted to try the place and after a neighbor gifted us some of the popcorn I decided to make a stop. Nice clean little shop with some old school candies and a HUGE selection of popcorn flavors. I got a medium of the cheddar and white cheddar blend and a small of the Big Chicago. Now by no means is it cheap popcorn, but the product quality goes a long way towards the price. Huge kernels coated entirely with flavor. It's hard to put the bag down. And to their credit they fill the bag with absolutely the maximum amount they can which I appreciate. I spent $29 on the 2 different size bags. Would make a great gift for a popcorn fan. I'm anxious to try the sweet flavored ones along with some of the crazier flavors. read more

Pretty disappointing So in this time of pandemic,powered by my addiction to popcorn, I wanted to go forth and support a local business. armed with my dining advantage digital coupon on my phone I headed out to papabear to get my cinnamon popcorn fix. I was greeted with confusion by the cashier who did not recognize or understand the digital coupon on my phone and went into the back To talk to the manager/owner/supervisor Who proclaimed that they were under new ownership and not accepting the coupon anymore. Had I been treated more proactively by the store staff I would have made a purchase, it sadend me to leave empty handed read more

All the popcorn we have tried so far has been so delicious. They have so many flavors to choose from and a large assortment of tins which make a great gift! Highly recommend!! read more

I liked this popcorn alot. I found the service to be fine. I dont like a-lot of fake chit chat. I went in knowing what i want and getting it. The Big Chicago mix is excellent and i got one for a friend who loved it also. They have lots of old school candy for sale. Yes the popcorn is kinda expensive but it was fresh and yummy and its a great place. Maybe they need a price list that very visible. It would cut down on the questions i bet. Maybe i didnt see it. When I got my two medium bags of popcorn and it was around $40. I thought OK this better be really good. And it was !!!! read more

Had to give them a 3 star . The popcorn is good but the customer service was bad . They did have masks , but when I walked into the store the man and women acted like I was bothering them . Not friendly at all !! I almost walked out but wanted to get some of their popcorn for my Chicago friend. If a place is not friendly I do not want to patronize them . Not going back . read more

Fast, friendly, well priced. A great place for high quality popcorn and festive options for ever time of year.

Fun little store that we have been wanting to stop in for so long. Finally got a chance. An abundance of different flavors and it is also like a little candy shop. Which I did not expect. My daughter got a bag of salt and vinegar and some candy, and we sampled the amazing cheesy cheese. So good. Love the little mom & pop shop feel. Hope you can all frequent it like we plan to. read more

This place is fantastic if you want to have a nice snack. The options of popcorn are endless! Leaves your mouth watering for more! My favorite is the snake eyes, very spicy. read more

Cool little local place with lots of different flavors of popcorn. Also a good selection of candy that you can mix and pay by weight. A little pricy but all very good. We will be back. read more

Delicious popcorn mixes! So many to choose from. We were not offered samples, but that might be helpful to people choosing what they want!

Great popcorn and wonderful people! Very cute and clean store and so many flavors to pick from. Please support them!!

If you are after a suitable, local alternative to Garrett's Chicago Mix, this isn't it. The place is cool with all the candy, and they do apparently make all of their popcorn. But, it is just ok. The Carmel is missing that buttery flavor of Garrett's. The cheese is relatively flavorless. You can eat the cheese without a napkin. If you have ever had Garrett's cheese that says enough right there. The search continues. . . read more

We went in to get the kids a fun first day of school treat and were blown away! Such friendly and helpful staff, and the popcorn choices we tried were amazing! Definitely give this local business a try! read more

So many flavors of popcorn! They have everything from sweet to salty to spicy and sizes for every budget. The flavors are displayed in tubes surrounding the purchase counter or view the list of flavor choices on their "menu". They offered samples to help aid in the decision making process. Once you decide on a flavor and size, place your order with the cashier and wait for them to return with delicious popcorn concoctions. In addition to popcorn, they have a variety of candy and food gift items. read more

Went in this store because number 1, my dad loves popcorn, number two it was his anniversary, saw a cool happy birthday box, enters the store, not a warm welcome, but anywho, I proceed to ask if he (the worker or owner not sure)...if he by any chance carry anniversary boxes like the happy birthday ones?...he states no and head to some bags of popcorn ranging from about 1.99-7.00 maybe..and stated "I have these and are cheaper to" I gave this special human being the look like "really you think this brown gal don't have enough money for a cool box of FREAKING popcorn for a gift"...I just simply left the store! God bless that man though. read more

I used to work at a gourmet popcorn store so I consider myself a connoisseur of popcorn. This popcorn is superior to other local popcorn as well as big name companies. It stays fresh for over a week. It's delicious. read more

I'm not a fan of popcorn. I bought some for my family. Two bags. It was addictive. Ive never eaten so much popcorn. So fresh. So delicious. They have a great range of flavors. The Chicago blend of caramel and cheese popcorn is amazing. Their sweet popcorn is amazing. While this place isn't cheap, I've never had such good popcorn. It is a guilty pleasure. read more

Excellent popcorn-- lots of delicious flavors and they will let you have a sample taste. Great place to assemble a variety of candy in a basket or popcorn in a box or tin for a gift. Old fashioned candies, soda, just a fun place to shop. read more

We drive 46 miles round trip to get their popcorn, so today I called to see if they were open. The man who answered the phone said they were. I thanked him and told him we'd be there in 15 minutes. When we arrived, there was a sign on the door to order online. We went to their website and the first time pick up was available was in two days! Really? I called and got the recording so I left a message. Never again! Their popcorn is good, but not worth this hassle. We won't be back!!!!! read more

Always had a good experience until yesterday. A teenage girl was working and told us there were no samples in December and she was extremely rude and seemed upset that there were customers. I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

I'm glad I finally stopped in today. I have been wanting to try it since they opened. Today I got to chat and find a little backstory. Family owned, family operated and store made popcorn and recipes. A great addition to the neighborhood. I bought spicy buffalo today but will definitely be back for the "Big Chicago." It gives Garrett's a run for it's money. read more

Better value, better service, and better product than some of the other 'gourmet' popcorn shops. Always happy to let you try samples, always a big hit at trivia nights and parties. I'll be back to Papa Bear! read more

Stopped in for the first time today after driving by many times. I must say this store is a wonderful little gem! I thought they only had popcorn, but to my surprise, they also have candy, sodas, and all sorts of other goodies to choose from. I was amazed by the big selection of different popcorn varieties. Best part is the free samples if you can't decide! I tried Cinnamon Toast-it's like a kettle corn with a cinnamon dusting. YUMMY! It's the perfect place if you're looking for a gift. I'll definitely be back! read more

Wonderful, friendly staff. Always offer plenty of samples and great suggestions for gift boxes/tins. It's also so fun to see all of the "retro" candy from decades ago. A great, local business who keeps their prices far below other "gourmet" popcorn shops. A must stop if you're near Clayton & Baxter! read more

We loved this place! Owners are so friendly and helpful and the popcorn is DELICIOUS! We tried several types and liked all of them. Finally settled on extra cheesy cheddar..yum! Their shop was immaculate and lots of fun candy and popcorn items on display! We will definitely return! read more

I love this place mostly because of the penny candy that is so fun and the popcorn is so good. I personally love Papa Bear Popcorn.

Seriously people stop by here. The best popcorn I have ever had! They have this kind called "snake eyes" it's spicy but super addictive. They have a huge selection as well of other flavors. read more
