    Stopped at this little hidden gem because the smell of the popcorn caught my attention . So glad i did i sampled about & different flavors before deciding. After i ate brunch i ended up coming back a second time with others & they purchased!! If your looking for party flavors for special occasions like baby showers, birthday or holiday gifts this place can get your popcorn fix needs fulfilled. The place is small inside & the popular flavors sell out early

    I love the outside ... festive!

    Popocorn? Flavored popcorn? I'm in! Literally, I just went in after I saw this place. I wasn't looking for popcorn, yet this placed "siren song'd" me into its popcorn rocks. Oh, and what a way to go! As soon as you enter, there is a board to the left with the day's flavors. However, its also fun to look at the big buckets of popcorn behind the counter as you an see some color coming through. (I'm a visual person, so this is important when collecting calories!) Since I wasn't really looking for popcorn this day, (plus I had just had a cookie AND donut before stopping in) I got two small bags to check it out. I tried the Hawaiian Hurricane, which had ingredients in it that I've never heard of. Exotic! I also tried the Vermont Granny, with white cheddar & green apple.) Out of the two, the granny mix was my fav. The Hawaiian Hurricane tasted a little stale or either the ingredients I had never heard of were not my "thang" ... it tasted good though. I should also note that you can ask for samples prior to buying. I was too overwhelmed with the choices to think about this prior. I also like to live on the edge with my popcorn experiences. So, do what feels right for you! Saying all that, whatever flavor suits your fancy, a small bag is not enough. I personally need more popcorn in my life. There are so many flavors to try and I'm sure they switch them up regularly, so you never know what you will find. What can I say? I'm a fan .. I'll be back .. I've been a"maized" by the confections of Kernel Encore. Salute!

    Kernel Encore has the best popcorn, hands down. Not only is the popcorn fabulous but the employees are super friendly and give you all the FREE samples you could want! You'll need them because there are dozens of flavors to choose from. First, my favorites: Cheddar and White Cheddar are made with real cheese and are both equally delicious. For a sweet flavor and overall best: Smores. Yes, Smores is drizzled with chocolate, dusted with graham cracker bits and even has tiny little marshmallows. I could eat an entire bag! Sounded promising but disappointing: White chocolate macadamia nut- the flavors don't mesh well together. Garlic Parmesan- too bland. Marshmallow- the marshmallow flavor is lost on the popcorn. My son loves the fruit flavored popcorn: apple, grape, cherry, strawberry, blueberry, banana- you name it. Then there are mixes like Carmel apple, blueberry cheesecake and confetti. Kernel Encore has been around for a decade. Stop by, check them out and feel like a kid again.

    One of my favorite sweet and salty snacks! Major's organic kettle corn is so addicting and I…read moredefinitely don't have enough self control to stop myself from eating the entire bag in one sitting (#sorrynotsorry). I just recently tried the limited edition Lemonade flavor and OMG it's so good! I love lemon flavored things and I seriously couldn't get enough. My husband was a bit skeptical of the lemonade flavor at first, but once he tried it, we were fighting over the bag. The best part is that Major's Project Pop ships nationwide! This makes for the perfect gift because who doesn't love food surprises delivered right to their door?! I'll take food presents over any other present any day! We're so lucky to have Major right here in our community serving up these delicious healthy snack options, and even better that you can order it for yourself across the country. I can't wait to see what fall flavors she has up her sleeve! Follow along on IG @eatprojectpop and order directly through her website at eatprojectpop.com.

    5 Stars for an online vegan kettle popcorn biz whose product is beyond compare and a biz owner who…read morereally cares about ingredients and her community. PLUS they ship across the country! *Perfect gift idea* I've gotten bags of Project Pop at local pop-up markets (and got to chat with the owner, Chauniqua Major,) as well as online, and as a special delivered gift from a friend. Either way I've gotten it, one thing is true: It's a unique and special snack. According to their website, "organic, non-GMO kernels are popped in small batches using organic virgin coconut oil. We keep it real with simple, vegan ingredients - no preservatives here. We use the perfect amount of organic cane sugar and Himalayan pink salt, for a light and balanced flavor." -- YES PLZ. The end result is a delicate, sweet and salty treat with a hint of coconut. It's unlike any kettle corn I've ever had before and I dare anyone to start snacking on them and not get hooked. Pro tip: Pour some in a bowl because otherwise you'll stuff your face in one sitting. They're that good. Beyond the product, the owner (and maker of this deliciousness) has a real focus on community. Check out the company's IG (@eatprojectpop) and see their many community initiatives- for example donating money from every bag purchased for a certain time to a food bank to feed kids during COVID. Love the biz. Love the quality product. Love that they ship anywhere in the US. Love that it's local. Love that they use a local company for their labels (so you're supporting multiple local businesses). Love it all!

    5 Stars for fancy chocolate perfect for gifting (or a "treat yourself" moment)!…read more I finally took the plunge and got a couple of truffle chocolates and fruit-shaped patisseries from O Bon. First thing I appreciated was the super friendly staff who helped me make my choices. When you're paying over $3 per truffle, you want recs! They also helped me pick the fruit cakes. Though the treats were an absolute delightful indulgence, I see these being my go-to hostess gift from now on. They look decadent and meticulously crafted and come in great packaging worthy of gifting.

    So funny as I was just at Light on the Sugar earlier in the day prior to stopping into East End…read moreMarket where Ôbon Chocolatier is located. The people at Light on the Sugar told me Ôbon Chocolatier is their new concept and sister company specializing in artisanal chocolates. So here I am scoping out the scene. Ôbon Chocolatier has a primo spot at East End Market right by the main front entrance. They have their own private entrance too, which is nice. They specialize in hand-crafted bon bons and artisanal chocolates but also offer other items such as fruit cake, cocoa lattes, coffee lattes, specialty tea, lemonade and hot tea. Their fruit cakes are the viral fruit pastries that have been taking over social media. Last summer, I got a chance to try some fruit pastries from Tu Cha in Los Angeles, these really are a work of art. Ôbon Chocolatier offers fruit cake flavors such as the lychee rose, strawberry brownie, mango, raspberry and pistachio. I want to try the mango and pistachio ones! They only make a limited amount daily so it's first come, first serve. Once it's sold out, it's gone for the day. Bon bon gift box sets range in pricing pending on how many bon bons you get. Next time, I need to get the 6 bon bons for $23 or 12 bon bons for $45 option. I definitely don't need 24-48 bon bons. Lol. A few of the bon bon flavors that intrigued me include the following: * Soy Caramel * Dubai * Viet Coffee * Mint Chocolate * Strawberry Matcha * Ube * Thai Tea * Rocher Hazelnut * Honey Brown Butter * Passion Fruit I didn't get to try any of the bon bons, fruit cakes or drinks on this particular day as we were coming from two other bakeries earlier and were full. Ha. Next time we're back in Orlando, definitely going to come back to try these! Beautiful store all in all.
