Cornivore Popcorn Company - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Learned of this company when we purchased a couple of their snack sized caramel flavor sold in our hotel. HAD to find the source of the great tasting popcorn! Found out it was nearby and we quickly made our way over. Love the variety of flavors offered at their store. We make it a point to always stop by every time we visit Albuquerque and purchase enough to take back home. read more

Best popcorn I've ever had , a person from meals on wheels was kind enough to give it to me.

Such a great little shop! I first tried Cornivore popcorn when I was visiting a family member at Lovelace Women's Hospital where small containers are sold in the cafeteria. The Sharp Cheddar popcorn is exactly what I've been searching for. It's not a hint of cheddar; it's exactly as described with being sharp, strong, and flavorful. I went to their shop and purchased two bags of the Sharp Cheddar, a bag of Caramel Cheddar for the hubby, and a small container of Cookies & Cream. I'm usually not a fan of sweet popcorn, but the Cookies & Cream one won me over! The shop associate was very friendly. He explained their process of cooking in house, that many of their popcorns are vegan and gluten free, and the history of the business. He has been working for the store, which he described as a mom-and-pop, for four years, which is a good sign. They also offer samples of any popcorn you'd like to try before buying a large bag. Without that, I wouldn't have gotten the Cookies & Cream. For my first purchase they gave me a tote bag, and when I bring it in next time I get a small percentage off my next purchase. I'd absolutely recommend this place. If you can't make it in, they also ship. Go check it out! read more

I saw a FB post that they had a new flavor Cherry Kettle & I'm all about anything cherry. We have been buying their popcorn for a long time now, however this last time we were at the SW Coffee & Chocolate fest. I asked if they had the Cherry flavor. The gentelman I spoke to mentioned he did on the truck, he said give him a moment & he'd run out and get it. Even during the busy time of selling he took time out to go get the flavor I wanted. We all have our favorites and now my new favorite is the cherry. Thank you for the kind and best customer service and the delicious popcorn. WE LOVED it!!!! Side note, the Chedder is outstanding, the NM Sunrise OMG!!! You can not go wrong with CORNIVORE!!! read more

Cornivore, normally in Albuquerque NM, was selling from a booth outside in the Santa Fe square this weekend. Robert Mendez and his wife provided samples of their most delicious popcorn! My wife and I bought three bags for $20 in anticipation of sharing it tomorrow with four houseguests due to arrive in Santa Fe. We think the popcorn is fabulous and the only problem was which flavor to choose (Sweet Green Chile won by a very small score). If you have a chance to enjoy this unique and delicious delicacy jump on it! You will undoubtedly thank me for the advice.... read more

Heaven? Are we here? We saw this place tucked in the corner of the La Cumbre parking lot and saw the shelves of popcorn. My kryptonite. Let me tell you that these were the NICEST people running this shop. They let us try any flavor we wanted and they were all so delicious. Movie butter green chile?! Lavender? Circus animal cookie!! I'm dead. You absolutely need to stop here and you won't leave empty handed. Very reasonably priced, incredible product and amazing people. read more

i thought the popcorn was good, i got cheddar and regular butter popcorn, both were a bit salty but too overly salty

The owner Robert is a businessman with heart and vision and does a lot for the community. The flavors of popcorn are so fresh and the flavor combinations are creative and tasty! I haven't had a flavor I didn't like. Try the Lavender, The Sunset, and Biscochito flavors. These make great thank you gifts and token of appreciation.

Although I have not been to The Cornivore, they have their products at the Healthy Heart Bistro at UNM North Campus. The only one I've tried so far is the New Mexico Sunset, which mixes both red and green chile popcorn. The more you eat the hotter it becomes. It is super delicious and I can't wait to try some of their other flavor. Pop on by and give them a try (pun intended :-) read more

BISCOCHITOS! Five stars for just one of Cornivore's many popular popcorn flavors - Biscochito! A small handful is like eating a traditional New Mexican anise-flavored biscochito cookie. I am anxious to try some of the other standard flavors . . . . Caramel, or Kettle, or Butter, or even just Plain . . . and, if those don't bring a smile to my face and a warm spot in my tummy . . . then maybe one of the other specialty flavors : * Sweet Green Chile * Campfire * Green Chile Cheddar * Mexican Chocolate * Savory Green Chile * Fru T Rebels * Caramel Green Chile * Red Chile Limon * Sharp Cheddar The unique flavors make this little Popcorn Shop a "must stop" whether you are a neighbor, a NM local, or a tourist in the Land of Enchantment. CHALLENGE: Try eating just one small handful. P.S. Did you know you can order online? www.cornivore.com read more

I can't go to California to visit family and friends without bringing Cornivore popcorn. I love their popcorn, their customer service is great, they always please. read more

Sadly I really wanted this to be a good purchase experience. Let me say that their popcorn is really good. That being said, all that glitters is not gold. Purchased a christmas gift for loved one it never arrived, tracking states delivered and 4 days later loved one still doesn't have it. I Called Cornivore, the nonchalant person over the phone who claims to be the mother of owner gives a "could give a " attitude. When I ask pertinent questions after her telling me she's "going to look into it", i ask, "like are you sending something eles?" She states, "Going to look into it, and get back to you". What will the turn around time be? She states, "Going to look into it". I ask to speak to the owner. "I am the owner". "I thought you stated youre the mother of owner"? Well, congrats because I will NEVER USE YOUR COMPANY AGAIN. IM LOOKING FOR A REFUND. OWNERS MOM SHOULD NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE. When your website states you'll do everything to make it a great experience, don't let your mother answer the phone, because she FAILED... de-escalation must be an art form. We give you our money and want assurance that we get what we pay for not a tongue in cheek response. read more

This review is long overdue. I ordered this popcorn for my wedding and it was so delicious! I got various compliments and many people asked where I got it from. It was a lifesaver as the night went on , our guests had some popcorn to munch on throughout the night. The staff was very accommodating and they made the ordering process so easy. I was able to sample many flavors and it was so hard to choose but i would definitely recommend Cornivore for any event read more

Well, where to start? The obvious place would be the popcorn. Superb. The kernels are *huge* with few crumbs at the bottom. Their popcorn isn't buried in artificial flavoring, which makes it more pure. Anytime I pick up popcorn from the grocery store, just because it's easier, I always think, "Shoulda ordered from Cornivore, fool." Which leads to the customer experience. Being cooped up, due to the pandemic, it's a simple process ordering from these folks online. They'll even deliver if you live in the metro area. They are super nice people who will bend over backwards to accommodate their customers. A few months ago I placed an order that was screwed up, and they went above and beyond to make it right, even though it was totally MY fault. Today I placed an order later in the afternoon, figuring I'd get it tomorrow. No. I got a text this evening, telling me my order was on its way. Sure enough, it showed up about the time they said it would. Just go. You'll be glad you did. read more

This is a little gem that I only discovered because of yelp. If you like popcorn, even a little, you have to try this place. They have a great assortment of flavor options so whether you prefer savory or sweet, there is something for everyone. I've had a few different ones now and my two favorite are the red chile cheddar ( I forget the fun name they have for it) and the churro. I am usually not a fan of cheese popcorn as it usually taste really artificial but not theirs! The churro one caught me by surprise as I just asked for a quick sample on my way out last time I was there. I popped a piece in my mouth as I was leaving and it was so good I turned around in the door way and bought a bag after I just had bought something else haha. It is not overly sweet and perfectly cinnamon-y. I will say the green and red chile flavors do have some actual spice to them which I personally love but may be a bit much for some people. I went in just before the holidays and they had a great variety of little party/gift sets. They will give you a sample for anything and the staff was super nice. They has will give you a yellow reusable bag with purchases of a certain size and if you bring it back in the future you get a discount! Overall super cute and more importantly super tasty! read more

So, here's the deal. You can buy popcorn anywhere. But The Cornivore's flavor selection is deliciously New Mexicanized, from "Sandia to Bischochito." I've used the cups as rewards and treats for various healthcare-related businesses/hospitals in the area, and without exception, they've been over-the-top hits. But special thanks goes Veronica Sanchez, who's customer service chops are well beyond the norm. Her understanding of following up on previous customers will keep The Cornivore going - despite of any pandemic that may be in the way. read more

There were a lot of different types of popcorn! Good prices, and kind helpful service! We loved the experience and will be coming back!

Love that this popcorn does not have any artificial colors, preservatives, corn syrup. Hope the popcorn is not gmo.

This place nows what's popping and I have never enjoyed popcorn till now. With all this craziness in the world its nice to know that there's a place I can go to get warm greetings and personal thank yous from the owners themselves. Thank you for being the best part of the community and to everyone else you butter come down and try it. read more

So many flavors so many to choose from I WANT THEM ALL!! I have yet to try all the flavors they have and I vow to try each and every single one of them. staff is friendly and best part they're local which I always love to support. They have so many creative flavors from sweet to spicy and sometimes combined. Like their Chicano (caramel cheddar con green chile) or if you have a sweet tooth try the campfire (s'mores) or churro popcorn, two of my favorite flavors. read more

We just did a fundraiser with Cornivore popcorn & it was honestly the best experience ever! Veronica is a class act, excellent communication from the initial introduction to the finalizing of our order. The team at Cornivore was super friendly & helpful. They pack all the orders individually & label the boxes for easy distribution. The popcorn is DELICIOUS & this was a fantastic experience! Thank you Cornivore popcorn Eldorado cheer will be back again next year! read more

A friend of mine from New Mexico was visiting California and brought some of this amazing Sweet Green Chile popcorn for me to try. Loved it.

I stopped into ABQ NM looking for some New Mexico treats to bring back to my family while driving from San Diego to Tennessee. I found the Cornivore through Yelp and got off the exit to head about a mile from the highway where I found my parking spot right out front of this unassuming popcorn factory - Cornivore. I walked up to the door where I was graciously greeted by the owner Robert. Robert knew his product inside and out and was very generous in with his popcorn samples. From savory to sweet Robert and his team have a popcorn to satisfy even the pickiest of popcorn aficionados. I really was impressed with the Cornivores customers service, quality, and quantity of product. I also found out that they do not use artificial flavors or ingredients which is a huge plus for me!! I initially went in for one bag and left with 5 due to how good everything tasted!!! My favorites were the Sweet Green Chili Kettle Corn and Rosemary/ Garlic popcorn. Price was $6 for large bag with a deal if you bought 2 to get your 3rd half off . If you find yourself looking for a affordable and unique popcorn experience look no further than Cornivore. read more
