Upon entrance you're transported to childhood by seeing the Christmas gift tins of popcorn and the many old fashioned candies. You have options on whether you want a bag or gift tins of popcorn. And they have many different sizes of gift tens and bags of popcorn. Because they have so many different flavors of popcorn you can ask to sample any of their flavors that they have to help you make your decision. I tried a few flavors and they were all exact on the money regarding the taste, but I end up going with the traditional, sweet and salty popcorn, but all that I tried were really good if you're a popcorn lover, do you wanna go by this place and try it out you won't regret it.

But let's start from the beginning. As you walk in you see a large variety of candies and other options. But the star of the show is the popcorn.

It's not a huge store but it offers a lot to choose from. The staff are more than willing to help guide you through the process of choosing which popcorn you would like.

Walking in…read moreis a total sensory overload in the best way possible--rows of technicolor treats, piñatas hanging from the ceiling, and that iconic "Batman" guarding the aisles. The Layout & Vibe It is a massive warehouse-style shop filled with every kind of candy imaginable. They have a huge selection of American classics and imported Mexican favorites, but their homemade line is where they really shine. * The "Batman" Rule: You can't miss the life-sized Batman statue--just a heads-up that there's a "Do Not Touch" sign on him! * Organization: The shelves are packed with everything from bulk lollipops and "Glow Pops" to stacks of de la Rosa Mazapán. What to Grab * The Classics: You have to get the de la Rosa--it's a staple for a reason. * The "San Antonio" Specials: They are famous for their Chamoy pickles (look for the Big Tex Dill Pickle in Chamoy), Picositas belts, and those spicy tamarindo chili balls. * Party Needs: Beyond the candy, they have a ton of party supplies and authentic piñatas if you're prepping for an event. Pro-Tips for Your Visit * Parking: They have a dedicated customer parking lot, so you don't have to stress about finding a spot on the street. * Timing: They are open Monday-Saturday (9:00 AM - 6:30 PM) and Sunday (10:00 AM - 4:00 PM). * The "Sugar Rush": Be prepared to leave with way more than you planned.

I've worked with Kettle King a number of times now, which means I've enjoyed their fresh popped…read morecorn enough times to give them a fervent stamp of approval. From mini bags, to large quantities in multiple flavors, these guys can pretty much do it all. I'm a fan of their original kettle corn, and chances are you've taste it yourself if you've ever grabbed popcorn at a Fiesta event, SXSW, or a high school football game. These guys are out on the scene pretty frequently. They have too many flavors to list here, but off the top of my head, they include margarita, jalapeño, cotton candy, caramel, and more. This place is a locally owned business that specializes in off-site events and parties, it's not exactly a store front, but you can walk in and pick up some popcorn. So, you'll want to call ahead and make sure they're not gone for an event if you'd like to stop by!

This shop sells fudge, truffles, candied apples, and - what I came for - ice cream! They had a lot of ice cream flavors to choose from, a least a couple dozen. The smiling young woman working behind the ice cream counter offered to give tastes, but I had already figured out which flavors I wanted. I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it. If you're in the mood for a cold, creamy treat while visiting the Alamo, you'll find this to be the perfect place to visit.

I had never heard of Sodamingo but I'm a fan now. I love our offerings of "make your own drink"…read moreplaces in town that specialize in coffee and tea. What a genius idea to do the same with soda and lemonade. I appreciate that they offer both regular and diet/sugar-free offerings of sodas and mix-ins. There is no end to the concoctions you can make. I had a Sprite Zero with sugar-free Coconut, Pineapple, and Cherry mix ins. It tasted just like a Pina Colada. My husband had the "Cowboy" which was Barq's Root Beer with caramel, marshmallow, and cream. Oh my! Sodamingo also carries some noshy foods. I couldn't resist trying their "famous" jalapeño popcorn. Holy cow, this was amazing. The popcorn was fresh with a slight kick but not real spicy. It also included slices of fried jalapeños that melt in your mouth. It was packaged in-house and comes with a twist tie so you can savor it overtime, but it's hard to not eat the whole bag. I'll continue to go back as much for that popcorn as the soda they're known for. The staff was friendly and helpful, ready to please their patrons. Everything was clean with bright, inviting decor. There seems to be two locations in town and I really hope they'll expand to the Helotes area. I think they'd have a great following there.

I liked how they had each area sectioned off. My son and his girlfriend got a bag and started to pick out what they wanted. My husband and I did the same. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a hit or miss on taste. The Champaign gummy bears were pretty hard to chew. They tasted like they'd been sitting there awhile. We also picked out some chocolate bears that had a very tart inside, not a fan. Everything else was pretty tasty. I liked the white chocolate covered Oreos and chocolate covered cherries. We also tried some round candies that tasted like birthday cake. Overall, I would definitely come back but out more thought into what I want to try. I let my eyes tell me what I wanted to try. Lol

When I say special, I mean none of your Teleflora style generic flower arrangements. I mean something artistic, elegant, and/or unusual. I spent well over an hour looking through websites claiming to be for "the best florist in San Antonio" until I came across No. 9. The moment their home page loaded with their gorgeously gothic arrangement, I KNEW this was the florist for me. They don't have set arrangements to show on the site, so I called and spoke to Angel. She explained that everything is custom-made and their prior work can be seen on Instagram. Based on the vibe I got from Instagram and their website, I had no doubt that I'd be ordering from No. 9. Angel and I quickly discussed my budget, timing, the flowers she had available, and the color palette, including potential use of local foliage and flowers. The arrangement, delivered just this morning, blew me away. Even though I knew No. 9 would come through with something unconventional, Angel worked her magic and produced a heart stopper. If, like me, you can't stand carnations and baby's breath and prefer elegance, character, and heart in your flowers, don't pass up the chance to experience No. 9's arrangements.
