The Kandied Kernel Popcorn Shoppe

10/10 absolutely delicious popcorn and super friendly and welcoming staff! Cannot wait to go back!

Such a fantastic little shop. Best homemade popcorn my wife and I have ever had! So many unique flavors and such decadent sweets.

I love this shoppe and the popcorn.. the owner is absolutely amazing and everyone that work there . They make you feel at home that makes me want to spend money with just this store ♥️

Great selection of very interesting popcorn flavors. They have a great refillable tin offer for the popcorn!

They provided popcorn for my son's graduation party, and it was a big hit.

I’ve been eyeing this place on a vegan FB group for months but live a ways away. However, after 8 years vegan, the ONE thing I miss still is SmartFood popcorn, so I decided to make the journey. Totally worth it- the white cheddar is delicious and there are a plethora of other vegan options to choose from. The owner was pleasant and knowledgeable in guiding me towards v options. Wish there were more savory ones (most of the vegan ones are sweet), but delighted to have ANY options, so, ultimately thrilled!

Came in today to look at the different popcorn options. I was super excited when I saw they offered a Vegan White Cheddar option, which is delicious btw. I have a food allergy and the kind woman working allowed me to double check the ingredient list to be sure it was safe for me. I definitely will be coming back!

Good place, location, setup, service, people, and popcorn!

Friendly staff and large variety of delicious popcorn.

Good selection of flavored popcorn. There was also a selection of pre-bagged drizzles and such, but I opted for my tried-and-true caramel corn, which was excellent. Shop also sells CBD products, which seems odd to me, but then again.. that's just me. :-)

Companies have hours for a reason, right? Tonight at 5:45 my friend and I walked in and the women working just seem so annoyed, it was awkward. I’m sorry you had to bag three kiddie size popcorns with 15 minutes left in your shift. We were just randomly in the Cicero area and stopped by, she was cleaning by the door and waved us to come in, but when my friend started ordering it’s like her life sucked. I wanted to get a few items, as it all looked delicious but no thanks, her attitude was just awkward. We were the only customers in the store, so it’s not like she was gonna be there after 6 bc it was oh so busy. It just felt like we inconvienced her. But after she cashed us out she got super nice. I’m not trying to be judgy and we all have bad days but you had 15 minutes left until close and had to bag up 3 kiddie size popcorns… you will survive. Maybe i’d give this place another shot in the future but not any time soon.

Lots of choices of popcorn, even basic popcorns like carmel corn have a few verities. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Bit pricey but its specialty popcorn, its kinda expected. Will definitely be back again.

Best popcorn place ever!! Awesome staff and so many yummy flavors

Wonderful shop!!! So many flavors to choose from and all were very fresh. I'm so glad I was told about this place. I will for sure be going back!

Such a hidden gem! Wandered in and fell in love. The popcorn is so fresh and delicious with an amazing variety. We tried a couple and all had our favorite flavors. Sweet butter is the best IMO. Got a sriracha & tried pickle and the Bloody Mary. Nicest people and very knowledgeable. You should definitely stop by if you are in the area. You won’t be disappointed.
