The vanilla butternut popcorn is to die for - it is the best thing and I normally don't do sweet popcorn - also they offer too good to go bags - you get a huge bag of popcorn in various flavors for 5.20. The staff is super friendly as well and the place smells heavenly - you also can't beat how you can stand in there and literally try all of the flavors! read more

I love their salt and vinegar popcorn. I don't eat sugar so I miss out on alot of their other options, but this place is amazing. The sizing is HUGE and the prices are so reasonable. I wish I was from Cincinnati because I would go all the time. The cashier was really nice and helped me choose what to get. They have gift sizes and a bunch of different options which is nice. Store smells amazing. Inside is nice and AC. read more

The cheddar popcorn was extremely SALTY!!Going forward I will purchase directly from the shop. The popcorn missed the mark on the taste of cheddar cheese.... It's just salty! Pause the salt or re-do the cheddar seasoning read more

I love this place. You are greeted when you walk in with a smile. It always smells so delicious in there. The Butter & Salt popcorn is always so good. It's nice little treat that I enjoy. I wanted to add, that this Vanilla Butternut Popcorn that I got as a mystery bag; is DELICIOUS. The vanilla is just perfect and then there is this unexpected creaminess, that I don't know quite how to explain. It definitely will satisfy a sweet tooth. I am excited to try other flavors. read more

I had first found this shop through a yelp event but when I was in the area recently, I popped in for a lil tasting and a few treats. The White Chocolate Strawberry was my fav of this visit. I messed up and forgot to get a savory to balance all my sweet options. That will not happen again! Go get some popcorns. read more

I am OBSESSED with Al's Popcorn!! Every flavor is so unique and bursting with flavor and I have never had a bad flavor here. It is amazing that they have so many flavor options on hand at any time, if I had to guess it's 50+! They have a detailed allergen list for each flavor which is super helpful. The popcorn comes in multiple sizes, with the roughly $7 small size bag being plenty of popcorn to truly enjoy a flavor! The staff is always very friendly and lets you sample a few flavors when you visit. The space is great to visit as well, not really anywhere to hangout but tables and items to look at while you order your popcorn :) Overall I wish I lived closer so that I could have this popcorn more frequently! read more

Al's Delicious Popcorn - Holiday Display - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

There are lots of flavors.They claim to be homemade. Tried the strawberry white chocolate and snickerdoogle popcorn as part of a dessert and wine tour. My wife got the cincinnati chilli and street corn popcorn. I didn't like either. They have pre-made bags of a few flavors. Otherwise with only 1 worker you will wait. We had 12 people on the tour. I got mint chocolate chip and bourbon to go. Only complaint was I couldn't buy a 7.00 bag of boubon popcorn. It was not in the app or register. There was no 7 dollar popcorn even though it said 7 dollars on the sticker. After waiting I told the worker to ring it up as another flavor and I paid the 7.50 cash. I hate places that charge more for credit card. read more

Help me! I went to Al's again yesterday. Service great as always. The shop is cute spot. This visit met a fellow popcorn lover. She suggested Rice Krispie Treat. I bought Pumpkin Pie, Cinnamon Roll and Rice Krispie Treat. The rice krispie has me in a choke hold. It is so good, there are even little gooey bits stuck together with the marshmallow so it's chewy and crispy. Thank God I only got a small. Yes the other flavors are very good but man, Rice Krispie for the win. Thank you fellow popcorn lover where ever you are for the suggestion! read more

Al's Delicious Popcorn is such a fun spot downtown. The shop smells wonderful and will make your day beter just by walking in. Al's makes over 300 flavors of popcorn! Some of the more unique ones include ramen, Cincinnati chili, and pretzels & mustard. I got cinammon roll and dill pickle. The dill pickle is the best pickle popcorn I have ever had. The prices are great. Al's Delicious Popcorn makes make super fun gifts and super fun additions to a movie night. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Parking is primarily street parking, but I have never had an issue finding any. read more

Al's Delicious Popcorn - Outside - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Such a fabulous little gem hidden in OTR! I was amazed at the amount and variety of different flavor options, literally anything you can imagine. It's great that they let you sample as many as you need because choosing is such a tough decision. The popcorn is absolutely delicious and by far better than anything you can find in a grocery store. Perfectly crunchy and full of flavor. read more

If you know me, you know popcorn is my love language. I could eat popcorn daily ... and some weeks, I do! I'm so glad there's now a local popcorn shop in OTR that can satisfy these cravings. I stopped in just after they opened on a Tuesday morning - ready to sample some of their famous 80+ flavors. Stephanie, Madison, and Jalen were so friendly and helpful ... offering suggestions based on what types of popcorn I typically prefer. I'm usually a Ranch seasoning girl (I go so far as to bring the seasoning shaker to the movie theater in my purse), and their Ranch flavor definitely did not disappoint! They also recommended I try the Jalapeno Beer Cheese ... which I loved so much, I ended up purchasing a small bag of this! I also taste-tested their Cincinnati Chili flavor ... which even if you're not a fan of Skyline, you'll want to give this a try. The sweet & salty really works with popcorn. I purchased a bag of this for my fiancé, and he was so excited that they even offered this flavor! I also tried a few of their sweet flavors ... the Buckeye was delicious, with a great balance of peanut butter and chocolate. The White Chocolate Strawberry is also a must-try ... they use real, freeze-dried strawberries! They're open late on Fridays and Saturdays if you need a little snack before bar-hopping through OTR. Their storefront is very bright and modern ... mixed with some exposed brick, to really connect with Cincy's historic side. If you're a popcorn lover, Al's is definitely a stop you want to make sometime soon! Heck, even if you're not a popcorn person, with more than 80 flavors, there's certainly something for everyone to enjoy. read more

My apartment is attached to their building, and we share a back patio area. They've thrown their garbage on the back patio area, down the steps, and put garbage (full trash bags of popcorn) in the recycling dumpster. Their product is fun and good but based on what I've seen in the images, some of their employees have lazy/negligent behavior. I've worked in the bar/service industry for 4 years--I have to think that their carelessness here carries over into the cleanliness of the facility and product. read more

You must know I'm something of a popcorn enthusiast. Like, I love it. Love it a lot. And Al's Popcorn is amazing!!! I LOVE IT. The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup flavor is my fave. The Candy Cane, amazing. There's a breakfast one that tastes like maple syrup and bacon. They've got, like, at least 50 flavors, so everyone will find something they like: Chicago Mix, caramel, Cincinnati Chili, chocolate churro, and cinnamon roll to name a few. I've also been lucky enough to attend 2 beer and popcorn tasting events at the Cincy Sam Adams taproom. They also keep (Al's Popcorn) popcorn flights on their food menu and change up the types of popcorn they serve. So, that's fun! My only issue is there's not a lot of unmetered parking around the shop, and it can take a long time to get an order prepared, so I really wish there was a way to order online ahead for pickup. I went in this past week and paid for 20 minutes on the meter and walked a half block to the shop. I ordered 5 small bags of popcorn for a care package and had to add time to my meter because I waited well over 15 minutes for my popcorn order to be filled. I was the only customer in the shop, so it would have been even longer had there been a line, but a way to order ahead would alleviate that issue. All in all Al's is worth visiting... especially if you like popcorn!!! read more

Columbus mix is our favorite! Sweet and savory mix! Everything we've tried is delicious and they are more than happy to let you try a few options before buying. The small bag is more than enough for a few days of snacking and the medium and large sizes would be great for parties! Numerous people getting popcorn on a Saturday afternoon but everyone was helped quickly. They were even polite to the rude woman who wanted to try nearly every flavor and then left without buying anything - don't be this woman. read more

What a fun spot and the perfect place to check out as summer begins! The space had cute decor and with over 80 flavors, there's something for everyone. The person working the counter was super helpful in giving me samples AND recommendations. Pretzel and mustard was delicious-who would have thought! I also ordered a strawberry and white chocolate which was also very tasty. I loved that they had a variety of sweet and savory flavors. Looking forward to going back and trying back the other flavors. read more

Oh sure, I've had gourmet popcorn before but I've never had anything like Al's. I got to try some sample flavors like buffalo ranch (just the right kick of heat), horchata (delicious and cinnamony) and the Brie and Berry (odd yet delicious) - Stacey from Al's said it makes a great addition to a cheese board. We got a small bag of the Columbus Mix and a small bag of the Jalapeno Beer Cheese flavors. The Columbus was a quick household favorite. The Jalapeno was also good but almost had an Indian pepper profile - which wasn't expected but delicious none the less. read more

Cincinnati's top spot for gourmet popcorn. Al's offers about 100 unique flavors. Some of my favorites include Lime, White Chocolate Strawberry, and Citrus Blossom. They also offer some fun savory flavors like Cincinnati Style Chili, Pizza, and Jalapeno Beer Cheese. Not sure about a flavor? Just ask for a sample. The staff here are always willing to let you try before you buy. Their spot on Main in OTR is quaint and since they like to let people try things, I wouldn't expect to be in and out in a flash. Treat this as more of an experience rather than a quick grab-and-go. There are many great gift options for popcorn-lovers. read more

Heard from other Yelp Elites that this was a place to go to and they not steer me wrong. Stephanie helped us and she was SUCH a joy. The service was just a wonderful as the popcorn. She said while they don't have a limit to how many samples you can get, she rightfully recommended getting 5 so that flavors can still stick out in your mind. They were all bomb. Stephanie and I were kindred spirits in terms of flavors, and my favorites were all the ones she said would be. They also a good amount of seasonal flavors. Did we spend $50 on popcorn? Yes. Regrets? Just the fear that is wasn't enough. read more

What a cool spot? To be honest i thought this popcorn shop would be lame but this place is SO cool. You cant go wrong when you have over 80 different flavors!! And you are allowed to try as many of them as you like! They have a lot of unique flavors too like blackberry cheesecake, bananas foster, everything bagel, horchata, and grilled cheese and tomato. So much fun! Stephanie, the manager advised us to be careful when picking flavors to try because after too many samples you can get "taste blind." She was totally right so i would recommend you alternate tasting savory and sweet to help you last longer. My personal favorite was the white chocolate strawberry. It was UNREAL! I bought a bag home and even my skeptical husband kept circling back to the bag. They even do popcorn bars for weddings and parties and are able to dye the popcorn to match the colors of your theme. Such a cool place, i will totally be back! read more

Great place to grab any flavor popcorn you can think of. They're open late so plenty of opportunities to pick up what you need. The staff are really friendly and helpful with recommendations. You can also taste test anything on their menu for free! They have such an extensive flavor list it's so hard to decide one must one flavor. We went with a spicy pepper pop and a sweet cookies n crème. Good sizing for the price. Different prices for different specialties. Also options to order by the pound in cute tins. They're also the official popcorn for the Cincinnati reds so next time you're at a Reds game or in OTR, be sure to check them out! read more

Come and get some very delicious popcorn!! Maybe you're like me and really only get popcorn when going to or watching a movie, well this place changes the popcorn game. Their flavors are perfect for snacking, sharing, and bringing to a party. My personal favorite (pictured) is their White Chocolate Strawberry and it brings to mind a childhood nostalgia that one only dreams about. Tips to make your visit a success: 1) Sample, sample, sample. They do allow sampling and it is necessary to get the flavor you don't even know you're craving. Your taste buds are bound to thank and congratulate you on the samples you choose. 2) Buy, buy, buy. The offer different size packages of all the popcorns, but for the price definitely don't stop at one. Get several especially if you plan on sharing with others. There's nothing worse then cutting off a friend because the tin is too low to share. Come check out Al's delicious popcorn and buy and extra bag for me. read more

80 flavors of gourmet popcorn right in the neighborhood is pretty much a dream come true for me! It was so hard to choose with the number of savory and sweet and specialty flavors they offer.

I am SO happy that I was able to find this place through the Yelp Elite event, and I will absolutely be returning! I am a huge popcorn fan - there was a solid year of grad school where that was my go-to snack. Coming here was an absolute dream. They had so many popcorn options and some very cute merchandise! I ended up getting a super soft and cozy nude sweatshirt in addition to my popcorn and I loved the minimalist look of it. Back to the popcorn! I ended up getting two flavors and I cannot wait to go back and try some more flavors. They have such a large range too, so it is perfect for those who prefer savory snacks or sweet treats. I decided to go with one of each - sour cream and onion (yes, like the Pringles) and a classic caramel corn. Both of them were absolutely divine. I went on a road trip and the sour cream and onion popcorn was my best friend. The caramel corn was definitely a crowd pleaser and for good reason! It wasn't a super thick layer of caramel and it wasn't sickly sweet like some caramels can be. Overall, if you're looking at this review - what are you waiting for?? Go check them out!! read more
