We love the mission that Jake's supports and the staff is extremely helpful. It is a little on the pricey side, but that is to be expected for the area and the money goes to a good cause. My son really loves the Snickers popcorn and they even have some ice cream from their ice cream shop there! Parking is easy and we highly recommend Jake's!

I came here with the sole intention to just check the store out to see what they offered…read more hewesome employee let me try a couple of samples. O could tell that this store is relatively new here on the shopping plaza, and I was curious. The second that I saw the popcorn in their displays kind of got my sweet tooth for popcorn. Really the last time that I had popcorn was earlier this year in Mexico City. There are vendors that sell bags of popcorn for like 10 pesos $.50 and I purchased these a couple of times. After I saw real popcorn again, I could not resost to buyinh some. The aweome employee offered me a couple of ssamples to try out. They give out small samples in these small tin cups and I tried Snores and Brownie flavored popcorn. I ended up getting the small movie flavored popcorn in a bag and it was all of the popcorn flavor that I had expected. I would recommend getting at least the medium sized popcorn of whatever flavor you have in mind.

Popcorn Euphoria was definitely an interesting find. First, let me say this: the popcorn flavors…read moreare no joke. The young man working there was friendly and patient, allowing me to sample several options before making my decision. I tried flavors like pizza, steak, and cheeseburger, and surprisingly, they actually tasted like what they claimed to be. The flavor profiles were creative and authentic. I didn't stop at the savory options. I also sampled some sweet flavors and ended up taking home the banana pudding popcorn along with the cheeseburger flavor. Both were delicious and definitely different from your average movie theater popcorn. I ended up giving my cheeseburger popcorn away, and enjoyed my banana pudding flavor. I also love supporting Black-owned businesses, especially when they're bringing something unique to the area. Now for the downsides. The popcorn is a bit pricey, but to be fair, this is gourmet popcorn, not a $5 tin from the grocery store. My bigger concern was the appearance of the space. The decor felt sparse, and the back area looked a little unkempt, which took away from the overall experience. The location is also a bit unexpected, tucked into a residential apartment complex area. That said, there are other businesses nearby, and it feels like one of those up-and-coming spots that's still finding its footing. Overall, if you're looking for creative popcorn flavors and want to support a local Black-owned business, it's worth stopping by. Just don't expect a polished storefront experience--at least not yet.

Such a cute business and if you're a person for whom popcorn is a food group like me, you'll beat…read morehome. They offer tons of flavors, bags from small to XL and 2-3.5Lb tins. With multiple flavor options for the tins. If you keep your tin and bring it back, they'll refill at a discount which is a boon. The flavors are PHENOMENAL. The truffle, the salted caramel bourbon and the white cheddar made me so happy. But the dill pickle was soooo tasty too. I'll say any flavor of popcorn you're looking for, and many you've never thought of (like banana pudding) they have! These make AWESOME gifts for the popcorn lovers in your life and they have a loyalty/rewards program! Check them out!!!!

I have been getting popcorn from this stand for years and all of which was from their time previous…read morelocation on the corner of 7th & D Streets SW. If you arrive on a day when the line isn't 10-15 deep consider that an anomoly. This popcorn stand attracted customers in SW from virtually all of the government buildings and foot traffic in the vicinity. All of the popcorn is made-to-order, however there are pre-made bags of popcorn readily available for purchase at a discount price. The reason for the long lines is because the popcorn is made to order, the popcorn is sold in large, multiple-serving bags, and the stand is a one-man show. Mike is never not moving in the stand, as he always seems to be preparing fresh popcorn. His customer service is generally good and sometimes he will engage you in light conversation of you engage him. However there are days when he is relatively quiet. On those days I don't take it personal or interpret it as a sign of disrespect, rather, I'm reminded he is a one-man show filling non-stop orders of popcorn. I like that you can customize your popcorn flavor. Some of the flavors available to order are traditional cheddar, white cheddar, jalapeño, butter, parmesan garlic, chive, pepper pop, and sour cream and chives. Overall a great popcorn stand experience and I will continue to patronize.

My mother-in-law has been buying me popcorn from Mike for years. She works very close by. However,…read moreshe's been working from home during quarantine so she hasn't gotten to visit in a long time. I was finally able to venture out and find Mike. He was located at the corner of D and 7th SW when I found him. I had only ever tried his regular popcorn. During this visit, I was able to try the white cheddar popcorn. LOL...I didn't like the white cheddar, but I notoriously don't like flavored popcorn. I was able to get a few bags from my mother-in-law which was awesome right before Christmas.

This past Saturday I went to the college park farmers market and discovered BiggPoppaKK popcorn…read more This is an alternative to movie theater popcorn (Which i have been trying to replicate) at a great price. He has many flavors like chai spic, sweet hot, salted caramel, cheddar etc. (Ask for a sample) I bought butter popcorn and brown sugar popcorn. They were both amazing, the brown sugar popcorn had a salty sweet taste to it which was great because it was not overly sweet. The size of the kernels are pretty big compared to regular popcorn. I will be back every Saturday to get some more and try new flavors. #supportlocal www.BiggPoppapopcorn.com

After dinner one night, we walked around downtown Bethesda and happened upon Henry's Sweet Retreat…read more Luckily, we saved room for dessert, and Henry's hit the spot. We got a blueberry pop tart, and some raspberry scones, along with a chocolate covered vanilla cupcake. Yummy! The only problem is that Henry's is not just a dessert bakery - the store may appear tiny on the outside, but it's huge on the inside. In addition to the bakery, they got all kinds of candy and other goodies for sale. I gotta stop back in another day and try all the other good stuff inside. Plus, you can tell from the Rick Astley-inspired sign outside, Henry's has a great sense of humor. This is exactly what small business brings to the neighborhood. Stop by and visit Henry's Sweet Retreat - you'll be glad you did!

Had dinner at a diner down the street. Looked up dessert near me and this place came up. NOT…read moredisappointed! We had brownies, sundaes, milkshake, cupcake and coffee. All of it was DELICIOUS! The small sundaes were huge! Kids could not finish them and at $7ish each hard to beat for the quality! I had an eggnog cupcake. I was not sure it would be good but whatever magic y'all put in it worked great together! The frosting was light and fluffy not too sweet not too bland. And the cake was moist, not crumbly, not heavy just perfect! Had a latte with soymilk because my belly does not care for milk in coffee. Local coffee company supplies the beans. They also have pretty much any kind of candy, pies, and sweets you might need and apparently they cater! Stop in you will not regret it...unless you do not like sweets and then I am sorry.

I was very excited to partner with this company with a local organization. Unfortunately, they did…read morenot keep their end of the bargain. Orders were extremely delayed or not received at all. My order was one of the delayed orders and a person I referred never received the order. After several attempts to reach out and inquire about the order, the person turned to me to help resolve. I had to reimburse the person out of my funds since they supported my orgs efforts. Now on to my order. I wanted to support the business and my org so I placed a order that resulted in about 9 containers of white cheddar popcorn. Unfortunately, the popcorn was too salty. I tried to push through and enjoy the popcorn but I simply couldn't. I recently attended an event that had their popcorn available and it was stale. Unfortunately, based on these experiences and being out money, I cannot support this business and would caution others to support.

We decided to do our own little food tour within the market and sample some bites from a few stalls. We tried: 1. Masala dosa from Sambar & Spice. This may have been one of the best dosas I've ever had, and I'm not exaggerating. So epic! A must try, 2. Chicken dumplings from Laobun - soft, freshly prepared and melt in your mouth good. Also affordable! 3. Fish tacos from the famous seafood spot. These were sadly my least favorite item on our little food tour, the slaw was overpowering but if removed the pan seared fish was flavorless. 4. Wrapped up with some matcha and iced coffee - can't go wrong with those. Enjoyed browsing the little artisan stalls as well. An amazing stop on my trip to DC!
