My wife LOVES popcorn. She could survive off it. I, myself, am not a huge fan, unless it's the…read morecheese covered kind, and even then, I really have to be in the mood for it. So, while running errands, I wasn't thrilled when my wife asked to stop into the Kandied Kernel, a little popcorn and ice cream shop in Liverpool, that she was interested in. But curiosity won out, and we stopped in anyway. The Kandied Kernel was opened in 2012 by gourmet popcorn loving couple Dave and Missy, who realized there was a niche to fill in their hometown of Syracuse. There are now three locations in the Central New York area. Walking in, you're almost transported back to a simpler time thanks to the vibe of the store - they have converted antique country store display cases into popcorn bins, which are used to house and serve the popcorn. There are chalkboards and chalkboard painted walls throughout the shop with little messages and their menu written all over. The one employee working asked if we had been there before, and we told her we hadn't. She was very friendly, gave us the backround of the store and told us we could sample anything we wanted. We tried a few kinds and everything was very good. Bunch of different flavors, both savory and sweet. They have four sizes of bags you can purchase - kiddies, kween, king and kollosal. My wife and I got kiddie sizes of classic caramel, and then a white cheddar/garlic parmesean mix. The white cheddar was some of the best I've ever had. The cheese was thick and creamy on top of the popcorn. They scoop and bag it for you to your liking - like a general mercantile shop owner would have a century ago. The emphasis is on friendly and helpful customer service serving a unique and delicious product made with quality ingredients, and this location achieves that. Most days there are fifteen or twenty flavors to choose from. I still would not classify myself as a huge popcorn fan, but Kandied Kernel may have a hand in changing that.

They realized they were closed for the fair on that date after we had ordered, which was sad for the kids.

I would definitely use this company again. Who doesn't like sweet and savory food?

The…read moresmell of nostalgia and childhood memories, the bustle of holiday shopping led me to a hidden gem in the Syracuse Mall. They have been popping popcorn since 1930. I'd love to learn more history on its origins. The handcrafted popcorn in a variety of flavors was fun to watch. We ventured up for a box of Caramel Corn. When asked if we wanted the box open or closed the answer is left open. They filled it to the top and immediately the family dug into the freshly made and still warm treat. You can also get drinks and roasted nuts as well. Something we can try on our next venture here. I definitely recommend and let your nose show you the way when you arrive at the mall.

The owner is awesome and really worked with us to create the perfect flavors. We were able to sample any flavor that we wanted, and he even created a custom flavor for us. If you are indecisive like me or just like all the flavors, they also have a popcorn of the month club. It's a very good deal and allows you to try a new flavor each month. The shop is fairly small, but you can also find them at the Regional Market each weekend as well!

The reason is because in 2023 they changed hands, a.k.a. new ownership. The staff is perfectly pleasant but the supplies that we used to purchase are NOT the same quality. We used the plastic apple covers for our candy apples because they stayed shut and never popped open. We loved them. However this new round never stays shut and we now have to tape them. It's too bad because the only thing I'll purchase now are the wooden sticks because they are still the cheapest price around. Sad...

Always empty seats with lines waiting. Always understaffed to make the lines waiting longer. And always a long wait for food during prime time hours as they are understaffed. When your waitress tells you the kitchen can't get food out and there are not enough employees, and she doesn't recommend anything but appetizers.. then there's your sign. We typically go to the Blvd location, but often end up at this n Syracuse location. And sadly it's a long long long wait.. but once we get in the door the kids won't go to another place. Ugh. Here's a hint for ya. If there are not 10 parking spots close to the door then just keep driving past. I hope they figure this location out, it's 3 miles from my house.
