River City Popcorn & Candy Company has been on my list for a while and I'm so glad I finally…read morestopped in. I was nearby and decided to go for it and it did not disappoint. Such a cute mom-and-pop shop in the cutest area of Hastings. The woman helping me was the absolute sweetest (possibly the owner?). She let me know this year they are celebrating 5 years.... So exciting. They also offer a great selection of candy and it was fun taking a walk down memory lane with all the nostalgic treats from childhood. And the smell when you walk in... talk about popcorn heaven! They have different sizes and flavors of popcorn. Popcorn is bagged right in front of you and you are able to mix and match flavors. I went with the classic butter and YUMMMMOOOO! I couldn't stop eating this stuff. There were so many buttery pieces. Seriously, buttery perfection with just the right amount of salt. I will definitely make the trip back here again and that could be very soon because my popcorn is already gone.

Of course you can mix these to make your favorite mix. As I walked in, the caramel corn was just being finished and it smelled heavenly inside the store. Yum, fresh caramel corn!! If popcorn is not your thing, there is a good assortment of vintage candy - Turkish taffy, Necco wafers, Charleston Chew, Skybar, etc. Also a great selection of chocolate, even some boozy options! There is a good assortment stuffed into such a small store. Worth stepping in and checking out especially if you are enjoying a walk by the river or looking through the local antique stores. Stop here to relax and refuel!

Went into Burnsville Center today to grab some lunch. Got inside the mall and smelled the delicious…read moresmell of fresh popcorn. Had lunch and was getting ready to leave when I smelled the popcorn again and the smell persuaded me to go upstairs to check it out. We were greeted by Teddy, and he had the best customer service. So welcoming and so confident about his popcorn! Said it's one of the best caramel popcorns in the Midwest. I didn't believe him until he gave us a sample - I was a quick believer!! When he gave us the sample it was still warm and oh so perfect. Then he said it's even better 5 days later!! There's no way my popcorn will last 5 days once I bring it home to the kids! Such a great find! I'll definitely be back!

The prices listed in the board aren't accurate per the rude employee who I questioned after he told…read moreme a large sugar bear was over $11 with tax. It's $8.30 without tax. Then he tells me that the owner didn't update the prices on the board and tells me to talk to the owner about it. I ask who the owner is and he tells me to leave. This is a bait and switch or someone is skimming money. While the sample was good, I don't shop at scammers. Either update the prices on the board or fix the POS but don't defraud customers!

If you turn a sharp right and a sharp right again while heading south on highway 61 there is a drop down and the vintage 19th century buildings with many active shops and surprises. Most of the old section ends at the train depot. This area could be improved and made into an attraction someday as it is just sitting there. There is a Riverwalk with an entertainment schedule and plenty of room to picnic or just play in the park along the river. Walking through town there is now only antique store a few restaurants and a coffee shop, vintage clothes and a bridal shop, and the usual insurance office further down. I found the old movie theater which appears to be in use as a community stage. There is a small popcorn shop hidden away. *Interesting the cities finest (yes police) past by me twice. Do they know right away if a stranger is in town? Just saying.

We also tried a sample of their strawberry flavor and that was delicious! You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors. Service was so friendly and helpful and I love supporting a business with such a wonderful mission. It's so cute inside, too with those popcorn lights. The owner said they hope to be online soon, so that will be great for ordering in between visits. They carry a line of soda pop from Northern Soda Company so we grabbed a few of those for a taste test later. Our favorite was the pontoon punch.

Their claim of "for the love of popcorn and people (but mostly people)" holds very true. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Prices are about what you'd expect at a movie theater, so not cheap, but not shocking either. I ended up getting the jalapeño cheddar for the ride home. When I sampled it in the store, it was great--bold and cheesy with just the right kick. But by the time I ate more later, the texture had changed. It almost tasted wet or soggy, which threw me off a bit. Maybe it's best enjoyed fresh the day of? I'd be willing to go back and try a different flavor, but next time I'll probably eat it sooner rather than later.

Prepackaged bags of popcorn in every flavor you can think of. They also have fresh popcorn ready to box up if you're a purist! The staff is friendly and helpful. I'm sure every review states this but it bears repeating. They only take cash here boring it with you or use the cash machine in store which has a $2 fee. Parking lot is small and it's a busy little strip mall.
