Simply put, this is the gold standard of popcorn. The family operated business continues to make…read morethe best products around and has for many years. The cheesecorn is still my favorite but I'm going to try the caramel + apple flavor. I met the owner, Nevin, while shopping at the Monticello Fareway. He's an amazing guy who exemplifies the American dream, a business owner doing what he loves doing and doing it very well. I won't tell you Nevin's age - you won't believe me when you see him energetically working. He's a remarkable guy, sort of like the "Willy Wonka" of popcorn. Having worked in retailers who sold Iowa Popcorn Company products, I am happy to see that have held their prices pretty steady while everything else seems to be going up. Even though there are some brands of popcorn that are cheaper, Iowa Popcorn's products are superior in freshness and are made with the finest ingredients. This IS the best of the best.

Thank you Yelp for helping us find this place. We were eating dinner in the NewBo area and wanted…read moreto go elsewhere for dessert. I just Yelped a dessert place and we ended up here. Don't be put off by the "popcorn" in the title. We went for the ice cream. There's a great variety and everything we tried was delicious. Our crew tried the buttered pecan, the raspberry-lemon Italian ice, and Hailey's comet. Be aware that one scoop is a huge serving here. Service was really friendly and helpful. There's a few tables inside, a row of chairs outside along the front, and a couple of tables and chairs in a side courtyard. We did not try the popcorn but a lot of people were buying it.

I came for a snack and left questioning every life decision that didn't involve popcorn…read more Walking into Almost Famous Popcorn is like stepping into Willy Wonka's factory if it was run by popcorn-obsessed geniuses with a sprinkle of Midwest charm and a serious caramel addiction. I thought I was strong. I thought I could walk out with just a small bag. Reader, I left with seven. SEVEN. One for each day of the week. Doctor's orders (probably). The Dill Pickle flavor slapped me harder than my grandma during Uno. The Birthday Cake made me reconsider every other dessert I've ever celebrated with. And don't even get me started on the Cheddar. That thing is dangerously cheesy in a way even Chester Cheetah can't compete with. The staff? Literal popcorn angels. Friendly, fast, and they didn't judge me when I circled back for more samples pretending to be "a different person." It's fine. I wore a hat. Bottom line: If you're in Cedar Rapids and don't stop here, you're making a terrible, buttery mistake. This place is poppin' -- literally and figuratively.

The first thing you'll notice is how small the kernels are. The window packaging is ideal for…read moreshowing off those tiny kernels. When you open the package, the scent is the essence of fresh corn. I have a little movie-style popcorn machine at home and the Tiny But Might Popcorn pops really well in it with very little waste of un-popped kernels. I think the bigger kernels get pushed out too quickly when the corn starts to pop resulting in two to three tablespoons of un-popped kernels. Tiny But Mighty Popcorn will maybe have 5-10 un-popped kernels left. Even so, the kernels are still soft enough to crunch on like a corn nut but smaller. The kernels expand to about 2/3 the size of regular popcorn, but the flavor is just out of this world! You can actually taste the corn in every kernel. Another variation I tried was I using bacon drippings (a sustainable practice in my household to try to use every part of the animal) instead of oil and just sea salt to taste. The essence of smoky pork flavor and the sea salt brought out more of the natural corn flavor. It's just amazing!
