I feel embarrassed that it's taken me so long to stop in to Grand Rapids Popcorn because popcorn is…read moremy favorite snack! I'd received gifts from the shop before so I finally made it there to purchase something for a popcorn-loving friend for her birthday. This family owned business has been around since 1944! They offer freshly made popcorn in 50+ flavors/combinations with both savory and sweet options. I bought a bag of chipotle white cheddar, but also considered the churro popcorn, pina colada, birthday cake, and peanut butter flavors. The chipotle white cheddar popcorn was amazing. Definitely one of the best packaged flavored popcorns I've had - ever. The popcorn stayed crisp and fresh for several days after opening and was buttery tasting and delicious. I can't stop thinking about it so I'll have to get more soon! The store also carries lots of great gift baskets, popcorn supplies for home and for wholesale: popcorn poppers, lots of different types of popcorn containers/buckets/bags, kernels for popping your own at home, oil and seasonings, etc.! They will even help you create a popcorn bar for your events - great for weddings, grad parties, and other get togethers. I was really interested in some of the unique kernels they have available as I love making popcorn at home - the baby white rice variety might come home with me next time. I love the small 4 oz bags of kernels that they have, which is what I bought for my friend. It's the perfect amount to sample the different varieties to find your favorite. The employee who rang up my purchases was super polite and friendly, and then the best part - I was asked if I wanted some freshly popped popcorn to go! A free little treat that made my day. I definitely will be back. Hours are a little limited as they are only open on weekdays, but it's worth a visit if you can make it happen and love popcorn.

What a fun little store to peruse and darn near impossible to walk out of empty handed from…read more Lakeside Emporium covers all of the sweet tastes one could possibly crave or dream about. Hard candies from rock candy to candy necklaces and every brightly packaged, florescent 80's sweet treats I loved as a young boy. A large counter of homemade fudges, brittle's, jellied fruit slices, cookies and chocolates just by sight alone, gets the water works flowing in your mouth. Jelly Beans of every conceivable color and flavor, lollypop's the size of my head. No matter your age, the time warp that hits you, sending you back into your distant memory (depending on your age) to a time and place we all remembered where these treats were enjoyed in our youth. Another wonderful business in town that gives Muskegon many layers of charm.

I'm glad I waited. The cup of black coffee was smooth (not strong nor weak). The popcorn...Mmmm GOOD! In addition, they also sell sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. Seating is available, but limited. Cozy and welcoming ambience. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

Love this place! We love popcorn and local businesses so this is the spot. They're located in…read moreRoger's Plaza, closest entrance is the main one by the Mexican restaurant and Chinese buffet. As soon as you walk in, you know this humble shop is a family owned enterprise! There's always at least one of the owners' children helping out and the very friendly Robinsons are happy to see you and give you some samples. They've been here a few months and if you ask me, the key to their success so far is that delicious popcorn!!! Our favorite is "charamel" which is a caramel cheese mix with both flavors on 1 kernel- like a caramelized cheese corn!! Sounds weird at first but it's addictive! They of course have other flavors and appear to roll out new concoctions from time to time. Just tried their jala-ring charamel, which is their charamel with a zip of jalapeno flavor! They also have a drink cooler and sell sizes from a small individual bag to a massive jumbo bag. I saw over the holidays they did tins too. Their prices are extremely reasonable. This is a great place to stop in for an inexpensive snack or treat or to pick up a gift. I hope this business keeps going and growing! If you're in the area, it's a must stop... but be careful because once you try it, you'll be unable to go down 28th street without popping in!

I got to come here as part of an event and had never even seen nor heard about it. I was genuinely…read moreastounded because it is incredible. The store is laid out so beautifully and fits a very clean and warm aesthetic. The staff is somehow even warmer and kinder. We were introduced to the history of the business, learned about sourcing, and flavors. I loved the flavor combinations and usage of local ingredients. I got a caramel popcorn that was PHENOMENAL and would definitely go back again soon. I think it's a really great place for a gift or a fun addition to a charcuterie board.

They have tons of unique flavors for anyone's tastes including lots that you can't find anywhere else. I loved learning that they grow their own corn and you really can tell how fresh it is. The dill pickle and the dark chocolate salted caramel are my go to picks and don't last long. Employees are also really helpful if you can't decide.

The recipes have been updated and the cheddar popcorn I tried was absolutely divine. The cheese flavor is strong and savory, without tasting fake. I can't wait to try more flavors. The popcorn was crisp and fresh, and not at all stale. I also had the GR mix, which is white cheddar and caramel - super delicious. The caramel isn't the super crispy coating you might be used to but I think it's because they don't use high fructose corn syrup. You can tell it's real brown sugar. They also introduced some more products for sale, including popcorn making supplies, local snacks, and gifts. It's definitely a one stop shop if you need a gift for a food lover! The bags of popcorn come in varying sizes, with the smallest bags starting at around $6. They also installed a Brix soda fountain option so I tried the pomegranate lemonade, which was perfectly sweet and lightly carbonated. Service by Pepper was incredible - so sweet and kind. I will definitely be stopping by for more popcorn again soon!

I could eat popcorn every day; it's one of my favorite foods. Mosby's is some of the best. We're…read morelucky to have multiple locally owned popcorn businesses in the GR area and I'm so thrilled that Mosby's is an option for concessions at Van Andel Arena. I've been getting a bag of Mosby's popcorn at every event at Van Andel for the past year or so (including multiple volleyball games, basketball games, hockey games, and concerts). It's more expensive than the generic stuff (don't get me wrong, I also love that kind), but it's so worth it. You can choose from several different flavors, but my go-to is the butter. We have recently been adding some hot cheeto flavor too, which is very fun. I prefer savory popcorn, so I can't comment on any of the sweet options, but the popcorn is always crispy and flavorful. I love being able to support this locally owned small business at events downtown. They also have a storefront right on Ionia. If you love popcorn or need a gift idea, definitely check out Mosby's!
