Walking in, we were greeted immediately -- and from that moment on, The Poppin Box did not disappoint! It feels like stepping back in time... the 70s? The 80s? Maybe even earlier. Gum, candies, sodas, and treats you haven't seen in decades -- and that's just the beginning. Gourmet nuts. Gourmet popcorn. And not just any popcorn -- popcorn that can be customized by color, flavor, size, and more. Amazing products, terrific prices, friendly service, and ample parking in a convenient shopping center -- I'm not sure you could ask for anything more. The Poppin Box is absolutely the place to go for treats, snacks, gifts, and business giveaways! read more

I love the idea of the store as it's fun and unique - however once we got home to eat the popcorn we had picked out - it was just so incredible stale and we had to throw it away. We got pickle popcorn and fruit loops. They store the popcorn in huge bins in the back room which just not seal very well. For the price it's just lot worth it for the stale taste. The candy selection looks good and we'll stick with that next time. The slushie was also good. The staff was super friendly and helpful with samples (which all also tasted so stale) read more

Black Women with 1 Baby and 2 Teenagers Overall I give the Poppin Box a 4.25 stars but since there isn't half stars I give them 4 Stars. They have 5-stars for taste and selection but 3.5-stars on Operation. Food - the POPCORN and the amount of flavors they have is impressive. I never stopped to count but I know they have a lot. My go to popcorn flavors Chicago mix, spicy buffalo, cotton candy, and confetti. The popcorn is always fresh the flavors are robust, exact, and tasty - even the flavors I don't like. The CANDY by the lbs selections is PLENTIFUL too. I shop thru them and feel like a little girl with a gleeful smile. Food Selection is plentiful. I'm always getting the popcorn or candy by the pound. However they have other treats as well. This last time I went they had the Bavarian (Cinnamon Sugar Almond) nuts. They were OK. It tasted a little too OILY. The oil taste was reminiscent of old oil so I could not finish them. 3 star operation - they have menu items that are not on the menu. You have to search around the register or look up at some of the signage to notice them. I did NOT KNOW they had candy apples until after I checked out. I was DISAPPOINTED when the associate could not locate where they were located to sell one to me. PARKING-there's none on busy plaza days. This business does not have dedicated parking spots either. You can find yourself in for a mini trek to enjoy this place AMBIANCE is lost with them expanding to include a new room. It used to feel like an old time candy shop but now it's just a candy shop read more

I forgot to review Poppin Box last year just before Christmas. I went on for a Chritmas gift last year for a Secret Santa. It was no secret! However. I knew my Secret Santa loved popcorn. I strolled in just before work and met the owner at the register. There were so many choices of popcorn and so little time. I received a popcorn card to entice me to return, which is an incentive to come back. This is a family own business. The popcorn I got and not pictured are: garlic parmesan, cotton candy, regular, and carmel. The cotton candy tastes so good, like I was at a circus! Poppin Box does give free samples. Don't think about Walmart, Target, or Publix for store brought pop corn. Go to Poppin Box for the finest in gourmet popcorn in St. Johns count just over the bridge by Iggys bar and grill. The service is fast and friendly, and the popcorn simply melts in your miuth. read more

Flavors of popcorn include sweet, savory and even spicy, with flavors like: Cinnamon Roll - wow!!!! Blueberry Cotton Candy - double wow Kettle Datil - yes, the pepper If you have any sort of sweet tooth, this is your spot. read more

Rebecca the owner has done it again! She has hosted another amazing event for the community. My kids and I had a great time getting to visit with Santa, eat cotton candy, the littles received Christmas tattoos, and sang Christmas Karaoke. While we were there we also picked up some warm roasted nuts, slushes including a holiday flavored Apple cider ; which is delicious and of course popcorn. You can't go wrong here finding wonderful customer service and delicious treats. We left before they did the cake walk but everyone there seemed like they were having such a wonderful time. read more

Such a fun spot filled with nostalgia and great smells! They had Marathon candy and fresh popcorn in tons of flavors as well as soda pop in glass bottles and fresh fudge!

I have been here before, but I had a birthday present I needed to buy and a local coupon to use, so I came on a Saturday afternoon. I was immediately greeted by a woman at the door and asked if I needed help. After I told her I was looking for caramel corn and gummies for a ten year old girl's birthday, she helped me with packaging fresh caramel corn and showing me the gummy options. I saw they had shark gummies, and thought that would be perfect. I chose a medium size bag of popcorn, which was a huge bag for a medium size. She helped me check out at the counter and signed me up for their loyalty program. I was able to use the coupon with ease, and she made sure to pick a pretty bag to put the products in. I was happy with the service and the products were a hit at the birthday party. I'll be sure to come back for all the family birthdays, as each member of our family gets a free bag of popcorn on their birthdays. read more

Very Fun store! This is located in a nice shopping center in Julington Creek, right over the bridge. I knew of course they sell popcorn here ( duh! Lol) but I had no idea all the other things available! All different types of candy, so much candy!! And I loved they had more unusual ones! Vintage candies, insect candies, sour stuff! They also offer a bunch of flavored popcorns, we ended up getting: cotton candy, fruity loops, and spicy buffalo, they probably had about 30 flavors to pick from! I liked the candy coated ones they were crunchy and fresh! My favorite thing I found here was these Tea Drops I had been wanting to try and was gonna order from online...but they had them here! It's cool because it's tea leaves and sugar pressed together into a tablet you just drop into hot water and your done! Also yummy flavors, we got Thai tea, vanilla white tea, citrus ginger and chai spice to try! Very cool! Look forward to coming in and looking around more! read more

Visited The Poppin Box this past weekend and was very surprised. This store is a lot more than just popcorn. They do have every flavor popcorn that can be dipped in oil and cooked under the sun; my favorites include the Dill Pickle popcorn and Moose Tracks. We also tried their fudge; buy a pound, get 1/2 a pound free. We got 6 squares; chocolate fudge, Oreo, maple, rocky road, salted chocolate, and caramel striped. It was all so good, but my favorite was the maple fudge. Also in the store they had all sorts of candy ranging from Jelly Bellies in many flavors to candy that I haven't seen since I was a kid, like Boston Baked Beans. And the best part wasn't even the yummy candies here, but was the service. The couple working in the store were so friendly and so generous; they let us try just about everything before we bought it. If you got a sweet tooth you should give The Poppin Box a try. It is sure to satisfy. read more

Step back in time and enjoy a bit of childhood nostalgia from Pop Rocks, Dots, Sugar Babies or Charleston Chew will bring back memories. Mouth watering Gourmet Popcorn whether you desire sweet or savory. You have your choice of flavors. Personally, I'm a fan of their Salt and Vinegar and Dill Pickle. This is a quaint and friendly place where the owners make you feel like family! Whenever I come to Jacksonville, The Poppin Box is on my list of places to visit. read more

I love this place. There's an old fashioned sweet shop vibe that is really great as soon as you come in. The owners and staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I will warn anyone who comes here that this place is not cheap. You can drop $20+ on popcorn without even trying, so for those who are on a budget, keep that in mind. I find their menu a bit impenetrable from a pricing standpoint and I think I'm getting something for one price and I always end up spending more than I expect to. read more

Great local place. Great variety of popcorn and candy for holiday gifts. But the service is so slow. It took forever to get a basket of popcorn filled. They are perfectionists but I certainly didn't care what color ribbon hey used. White would have been fine but they were on a mission to find the purple ribbon and the right color crinkle paper filler. The spicy buffalo is really yummy and insanely spicy. The cinnamon roll and the Oreo were really yummy! Not a fan of the fruity flavors because fruity just isn't my thing. read more

COVID ALERT!!! We're at the height of a pandemic. 3,000 people a day are dying from COVID! don't care how good their products are, there's not a single employee (six here right now) wearing a mask or gloves as they prepare and handle the food! How completely irresponsible of everyone there. I will NEVER shop there again. read more

Place has lots of various popcorns and various candies. I met with the owner she was very very nice. I recommend this place.

No covid here! I feel very safe walking into my favorite little popcorn shop. Even in these crazy covid times this place has made sure to help keep us and the community safe by taking all the extra precautions. During the height of the pandemic they even were wearing masks which I was completely against and it even made me a little mad. Have you ever wanted a nice little shop in your hometown that you can tell your kids and grandkids about. Well for me, this is that place. They are the classic small town candy shop. read more

I enjoyed the visit to The Poppin Box. Tried a plethora of unconventional flavors including: dill, key lime, German chocolate, Smores, and some other classics white chocolate pretzel, extra cheese, salted caramel, etc. Some were a bit stale, but the friendliness of the owners (daughter and hubby with daughters mom) was a pleasant experience. Looking forward to going back in the future to satisfy another sweet tooth. read more

This popcorn store is so great. They have so many different kind of flavors and different sizes to choose from. What I like is that you can mix and match the flavors in the bag that you buy. The lady behind the counter was so nice too. She offered to let us try any flavor that we wanted. They also have bulk candy to buy and the prices are reasonable for that. The popcorn is a bit pricey but if you find one you really like then the quality is definitely worth the price. I'll definitely be coming back for more popcorn in the future. read more

Chris and her team at The Poppin' Box are absolutely incredible to work with. We had a popcorn bar at our wedding and since we love The Poppin' Box popcorn so much, we of course had to use them for the event. We had to postpone our wedding celebration more than once due to COVID, but Chris and her team were nothing but understanding and accommodating. When we finally had our celebration, they delivered the popcorn and included a congratulatory note about the wedding. Their service is impeccable, the popcorn is delicious, and we couldn't be happier with them. Thank you Chris and The Poppin' Box team! read more

Holy popcorn Batman! This place has soooo much selection it can be a tad overwhelming at first. Don't worry though, the excellent and friendly staff is there to answer your questions and bring you as many samples as you want. I do NOT recommend going when you are full!!!

Perfect for gift giving and munching read more

I have been here three times. The first time they had just opened and we came in from Moon Dog, they are just two doors down. Got the Caramel Corn and also some Cholocate only Necco Wafers for the wfe and sugar free Jelly Belly. Second time, was after playing Iggies and got Chicage Style popcorn, caramel corn mixed with cheddar cheese corn. DOUBLE AWESOME. Third time was last night. They had just closed but the owner opened up for us and I bought puppy chow and more Chicago style. Oh, did I mention she lets you try the flavors first! The owners are just the nicest people you would every want to meet, and do not forget to try the BEER CHEESE, it is also so good. Nice people with a good wholesome product, and lots of candy! read more
