What a cute vibe. Had a yelp event that introduced me to the business and glad it did. Dave the owner is just an awesome guy. You can tell he loves his business. The concept is so cute. The space is cozy and very nostalgic. Nice space, there is space to sit and enjoy your snacks. The service was great. The options are endless, little overwhelming but Dave is very friendly and helpful in navigating. The combo creations are awesome. You can even build your own sodas and popcorns. There are even sugar free options on the sofa. Definitely something for everyone here. You could visit often and never have the same thing! He is also partnered with JBs bake shop. We tried the ozmopolitan soda lovely combination of sparkling water, peach, sour candy, strawberry boba and pink shimmer dust. I thought it sounded little sweet but it actually was not. Again there are tons of options but for popcorn we tried the You're my boy bleu, how bought them apples and yo quiero taco, all were very tasty, nice portions. You even get cute little tongs for eating. Even though I enjoy licking my fingers! Also ordered an apple spice loaf and banana pudding brownie for the JB bake shop desserts and they both were amazing! You can purchase gift cards as well, perfect stocking stuffers! read more

Was there for a Yelp event. Very cute place with a pop culture vibe. You feel like you're in a movie theater lobby. They have events and movie showings too. Very friendly customer service. The popcorn is delicious and love the dirty soda sugar free options. I mean look at the little tongs to serve yourself! read more

The staff was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and even informed us of the history of a "dirty soda". Service was quick but careful to make sure orders were correct. The environment is welcoming and I felt comfortable to ask questions of the menu as the staff guided us through what to order. The drinks were delicious as well as the popcorn. read more

POPularity Soda Popcorn Culture - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Buffalo, New York

POPularity is such a wonderful addition to the area and it's provided yet another wonderful thing to do any time you are in the mood for a snack. Although I don't subscribe to the use of the word "soda" as this is Buffalo and that means it's pop, that is my only complaint. I literally hadn't drank any pop in maybe fifteen years until this place opened and we strolled over to get some popcorn (savory pizza or cheese flavors or sweet smores and caramel type foavors) and I saw it he whole menu. Every single thing they serve is a pop culture reference that is just obscure enough where you can feel like you really did something impressive if you get all of them. My go to is right now is the Groot Beer but I had a Grand Theft Autumn yesterday that was pretty great. There is so much to choose from that I guarantee you are going to find at least a couple things you have a hard time choosing between. I can't recommend the place enough. Try it out! read more

Omg I absolutely love it here!! I've been waiting for a fun gourmet soda shop to open in Buffalo! The menu is huge with so many amazing choices. I love Dr. Pepper so I've tried two of their sodas from the menu with Dr. Pepper and they have both been amazing. The popcorn flavors are also so unique and flavorful! You can choose between a 20 ounce or 32 ounce drink. The sodas are completely customizable too if there's something you wanted to add or change. You can also make your own soda and popcorn which I'm sure I'll do at some point! The space is decorated with a nostalgic feel. The service is always amazing when we've been. The workers are always so bubbly and friendly. I already can't wait to go back! read more

My husband and I were here this past Friday and had an excellent outing, despite the snow and ice. I figured that after trying one of their dirty sodas at the Nightcrawlers event in October, we'd have a nice date at the brick and mortar. When we walked in we were greeted by the only staffer working at the time, who was both friendly and helpful. I ordered the Mexican street corn inspired popcorn and my husband and I each got a dirty soda. Mine was off the menu, called "Jaws Theme Swimming" while my husband's was a build your own pop. The place is decorated colorfully with plenty of pop culture merchandise hidden around the store. There were a few families who came in while we were sitting at one of the tables and there was room, thankfully, for all of us. Our wait time went by really fast too when we had ordered, so I have zero complaints! I just want to come back another time, perhaps when it's not so icy. read more

Dave and Mike are two of the sweetest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet -- and their local popcorn and soda shop is just as delightful as they are! If you love popcorn, get ready to fall in love. Their gourmet loaded popcorn is next-level with both sweet and savory options. Everything is made fresh, with so many creative combinations to choose from, and they accommodate a variety of dietary needs, which is a huge plus. I tried the pickle popcorn (I'm Pickle Rick) which is loaded with dill seasoning, dill pickle aioli, and crunchy pickle dillies. I paired it with Nemo's Coral Cooler, a refreshing blend of lemonade, raspberry, orange, cream, and a splash of Starry. The shop itself is adorable with quirky, colorful pop culture decor that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. It's such a cool, unique concept. It fits perfectly in the lively, artsy vibe of this part of Buffalo. Their logo and branding are just the cutest too! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and POP on by (pun intended). You'll leave with a smile and probably a new favorite snack. A must-visit gem in Buffalo, NY! read more

Been trying to get here for a while now. I went with my teenage son, it wasn't very busy, and we were served by the owner himself. Excellent service. They have a massive menu with a lot of interesting combinations. We tried four different popcorn options and three different beverages, all were delicious! Kiddo wants his next birthday party there and I'm tempted to oblige. We'll definitely visit again. read more

My wife and I have stopped in twice so far and we will definitely be back again... and again. This place is just very fun! It has a fun and energetic vibe to it as soon as you walk in.

The staff was very helpful in suggesting options. We will definitely be coming back. read more

POPularity Soda Popcorn Culture - Yo Quiero Taco popcorn - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Awesome new snack shop in the Elmwood Village. I tried the Churrassic Park, The Brownie Bunch, and the Cookie Monstah (pictured below) popcorn. All were fantastic, but I ESPECIALLY loved the Churrassic Park- it's like if you mixed Cinnamon Toast Crunch, churros, and buttered popcorn into one tasty snack! I will definitely try the more savory flavors next! I love that they use freshly popped buttered popcorn as the base, usually specialty popcorns use plain unbuttered popcorn...but theirs has a nice buttery taste that makes it unique. Also I got the Starry Wars soda and it was fruity and delicious! Perfect drink for a summer day. They have the BEST crushed ice I've ever had, and this is coming from a life-long ice chewer. Dave and Mike were absolutely wonderful, personable, and on top of their game. Watching them assemble my order was like watching a florist create a masterpiece, so meticulous. Their shop is a pop culture nerd's dream with all the decor! read more

Great service with an awesome menu. We've gotten a few custom dirty sodas and the ones off the menu and they are so good.

Loved the decor and friendly owners. I will be back to try more drinks for sure. I got the Dr McCreamy, it was very good. I wasn't a fan of the popcorn - I think it needs to be ate right away so it doesn't get soggy and chewy. I'll try it again. read more

Went to their world premiere and they didn't disappoint. The flavors were perfect. The popcorn was so good, even the plain! Cookie monster looked amazing! The sodas were creative. Their butterbeer is so delicious I did not expect cream in soda to be so good with this new "dirty soda" trend but they nailed it. They were so pleasant, Can't wait to see them when their full location opens! Might go back to the market today to get some more! Pop off! read more

Loved this new shop with its yummy popcorn creations, have tried the Churrasic Park and Brownie Bunch and they were amazing!!! Also had their watermelon soda and it did not disappoint.
