No one greeted us until later from the back however we didn't mind at all because it gave us time to taste test from the 9 flavors. Whether you're a sweet or savory person, they got you. My favorites were the churro and hatch cheddar/cheddar. By then, one of the employees greeted us and noted the tin can options and that the popcorn is good up to 6 months! My husband first tried the prickly pear popcorn from a grocery store and we liked that as well. We got a couple other bags and will be coming back again. Note, if you buy a tin can, you can bring it back for a refill for half off! Proceeds also go to veterans.

They have an Instagram and Facebook page if you want to find them at their next event. Their large kettle corn costs $10; note that this is one of those places that charges you extra if you use a card. I shared the large kettle corn with a friend. It was delicious and we couldn't even finish it all in one day. Note that if you have a hankering for kettle corn, best to grab a bag early since they sell out as the day goes by.

Acquaintance also bought a caramel corn style offered by Ava's and said it was the absolute best caramel corn popcorn she had ever had! Had actually purchased another brand of kettle corn at the Fountain Hills art festival food area around the corner from Ava's set up by the lake and, even though the bag was $10, I threw it away That other brand was stale and tasted bland. Would buy Ava's brand every time Sadly, I do not live in AZ but will definitely look for Ava's pop up each time I return.

I saw a big ol' basket of Poppa Maize popcorn packs in front of Pour Jo Coffee last time I went to get a caffeine fix and knew I had to try some. I got the tomato basil and cheese. Each bag was $6. When I got home we broke open the cheesy popcorn bag. The flavor was really good! It just the right amount of seasoning. All the kernels were full, round, and fluffy looking. None of that hard kernel ish that breaks your teeth. Unfortunately, even though the bag had a desiccant packed inside to minimize moisture, the popcorn did taste a little stale/not very crisp. That didn't stop the toddler from devouring it all in one day (And sneaking a few bits to the dogs as well). The tomato basil unfortunately was even more stale tasting which was a bummer considering the price I paid for the bag. I did like the tomato basil flavor though. Maybe if the creator put some "sell by," "best by," or "made on" dates that would help, so people know how fresh their bag is. Maybe some different packaging would help too? Either way, I'd go back to get more popcorn from Poppa Maize if it was sold fresh from the kernel. Currently they seem to sell the popcorn at various small businesses such as Pour Jo Coffee and at local farmer's markets.

As of 2/19/25, there are 4 sizes each priced at $5, $7, $9, and $12. I got the large size ($9) and I definitely couldn't finish it one day. I was very please with the calorie information on their bags which is something hard to find on mom 'n pop shops. It's 170 calories for 30g of kettle corn. The kettle corn was quite tasty so get the two larger sizes if you're looking to share or if you want some extra snacks for yourself throughout the week. They tend to give out free samples if they're at an event. Their website is invalid despite it being printed on all their bags.

They carry all the kitchen necessities and many things you probably didn't know you needed but makes your food preparation easier. I wish they were around ## years ago when I made my wedding registry (The ## is to keep from dating myself!). The store is immaculately clean and the workers are helpful but overly pushy...a great middle ground. They also had some freshly made pasta, citrus-infused water and some mocktail margaritas to try while we shopped. They have some demos/samples for coffee, hand cream, etc. I spent 30min in the store and feel like I still missed a lot of things. I will definitely be back as this is a great place to shop for gifts...and maybe for myself.
