My friend and I finally got to stop by to redeem our free gourmet white popcorn bag. Walking in the store, they have so many other unique flavors. One that caught my eye that is wanting me to come back to try it is their Himalayan Pink Salt with Avocado Oil popcorn flavor. I love anything with pink salt so I definitely need to come back to try this one. The free bag of gourmet white popcorn they gave us was more than plenty and my husband and I finished it in one sitting because it was that good! read more

I've been here maybe once on my own after moving into the Elk Grove are 2 decades ago. But my girlfriend who grew up in Elk Grove is far more familiar with the Popcorn store, and so because of here, I've been visited several times it the past few years. She's into trying the assorted flavors, and being individual bags home for the family. And it's nice to see a local family owned shop still get support after all these years. read more

We were gifted a refillable tin for Christmas. Refills are discounted for a year. What a snack upgrade! The kids love picking something new and the staff are always friendly. read more

My weakness is cheddar popcorn! The popcorn shop has so many varieties of popcorn (Chicago mix-cheddar and Carmel, jalapeno cheddar, habanero cheddar, white cheddar, regular, caramel) and so many more flavors ranging from sweet, to savory to savory sweet blends. Service is prompt, patient and attentive. They have samples behind the counter- just ask before committing to a flavor. They have a few size options as well. Ambiance is literally a quaint shop focused on popcorn. A good spot to stop and grab a few bags as a gift or whatever. read more

Needed some popcorn for a school movie night event. We were thinking of popping pop corn ourselves, but heard about the popcorn store. It's right by a coffee shop I frequent, so I decided to stop by and ask some questions. They were very friendly and answered my questions. It sounded like the Bin Buster size was the right amount. I was told the only flavor that comes in the Bin Buster size was their gourmet white. They said any other flavor would rip the bag haha. Maybe get a thicker bag? I'm sure there's some people that would like a bin Buster size in another flavor. But then again, maybe not? I'm not a popcorn expert, they are! Anyways, I'm glad we purchased from them rather than popping our own. I feel that popping our own would be too much trouble. I mean, technically theirs was freshly popped as well. They said it takes about an hour to pop enough popcorn to fill up the bin Buster. I arrived at my scheduled time and there was a slight hiccup. They must have forgotten my order, but I saw they were popping a bunch of gourmet white anyways, so they told me it would be a few minutes. It took about 15 minutes more, which was a bit annoying because I had to be at the school at a certain time. I thought I was going to be given some extra popcorn or a discount or something? But nothing. At least I know it was really fresh haha. It was perfectly seasoned too. At first I expected the size to be much bigger. But when I got to the school, it was just right given the estimate. I will be back to try the other pop corn flavors next time. Oh, I'm curious if this place gives samples. When I went there to ask questions about sizing and flavors, they didn't offer any. read more

We went there because we were at another restaurant and saw it in the parking lot. Not sure of making it as a popcorn only store. The prices are a little high since you can make the stuff on your own pretty much. The place inside is decorated nicely and the lady was very nice. We got he kettle corn since I love it the best. They even had the old popcorn I use to get at the zoo. Pink popcorn. Pretty cool . We had the kettle corn at home and it was fresh and yummy. 7.50 for a small bag. The parking in this lot is pretty horrible, with all the other places in here. read more

Got a bag of the Chicago style popcorn. It tasted fine, kind of what you would expect. I was munching on it until I found a long piece of hair in my mouth. It was not mine. This was a really gross surprise and ruined the rest of the bag for me. The popcorn store needs to work on their food safety and quality control. What a waste of money, I won't be back read more

I used to buy popcorn from this establishment years ago. Since the new owner bought it (3 yrs ago) the popcorn Isn't as flavorful. The prices in the photos have doubled. The popcorn store used to be filled with sizes from extra small to extra large on all flavors. You now have to call in order to get an extra large of any flavor but the gourmet white. The gourmet white was always my favorite. I don't know what they're doing but the flavor isnt the same. They say they put salt but I don't taste salt. They must be using a different oil because it's very bland - similar to air pop popcorn. I've turned many many friends to this place but can no longer do so. I am so sad. Prices instantly doubled but popcorns gone down and so has customer service. read more

If you love Gourmet popcorn you must try this place in Elk Grove. This place is women owned and family operated for 16 years. Cute looking place that has its charm. When you first enter the store you hit in the nose by pleasant aromas of popcorn. So many different flavors from the Caramel, Cookies & Cream, Butter Rum and the top seller gourmet white. They even have the pink popcorn that you used to eat when you were a kid. The employees are very helpful while letting you take samples to see which one you like .The popcorn is not greasy not over buttered but just perfect. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a guilty free snack. read more

Walked in the Popcorn Store for the first time since being in Elk Grove 10 months. Have passed this store too many times.

Was craving something different so we came in and got a bunch of different flavors of popcorn. The place is pricey, but if its good it usually doesn't matter. The "gourmet white" popcorn was so bland and there was no salt. The cheddar and cheddar jalapeno was good, until I decided to read the ingredients. Why in god's' name are you putting multiple petroleum based food colorings on a gourmet popcorn? If I am paying $8 for a tiny bag of popcorn I would expect it to be a healthier alternative to the store bought garbage. Guess not. Yellow 5&6 are horrible and I dont like to consume it, sadly I thought I was eating a quality product. Thankfully California is banning it soon, I guess you guys didnt get the memo. Please remove gourmet off your products if you're going to put this garbage in it. read more

I went to the Popcorn Store in Rocklin (a former location) and was treated with awesome customer service! Although the store's team was busy moving and not operating at the time, the owner opened their door and treated me to their last large bag of popcorn! It was perfect timing as I needed it for a birthday party the next day! We love their regular popcorn. It's crisp, salted just right, and lasts awhile (although it's eaten quickly!) I heard they have online ordering and delivery too! Thank you, Popcorn Store for being a great treat for our community! Popcorn is good for smiles :-))) read more

The clerks are not very friendly. They seem tired and annoyed. I bought a few packs of popcorn and didn't even get a welcome or come again. I don't know why ppl are in business if they don't care. I won't be back. Popcorn is ok. read more

Was so excited to grab a bag of cheese popcorn! It's always been my fave. I've heard so many good things about this place and finally was in the area so I stopped by. Grabbed a bag and immediately tried it in the car. Man was it a disappointment. It was moist like it was out in the bags too soon and the steam or something didn't escape. $6 down the drain and an empty sad tummy. read more

After dinner we walked by the Popcorn Store. We decided to go in and take a look. We looked around and decided to try some. We bought a bag of Kettle Corn, which was a little pricey for a small little bag, $7.50. The kettle corn was good, but pricey. They have a lot of different flavors of popcorn, like cheese, caramel, plain, some gourmet flavors. The store was nicely decorated. It was fun looking around. read more

I tasted a variety of flavors in preparation for a large party. The plain popcorn is seasoned perfectly but if you're looking to impress, there are some spectacular flavors. My favorites included the churro flavor, Cinnabon was like a dessert, the white cheddar with garlic was so savory but for some reason the kernels are broken down to smaller pieces. I also love the cheddar cheese but with a big party it can be messy (like Cheetos). I'll be back to make a large order in a few weeks and will update my review at that time. read more

The popcorn store has superior popcorn to basically every popcorn store in existence. They use top of the line ingredients and you can tell in the taste and quality of the popcorn. I love all the flavors they have regularly and the seasonal and surprise flavors they sprinkle in all through the year! Their popcorn tin savings club is a fun way to get popcorn at a reduced price, a little cost savings on a little treat is always nice! With flavors for all, plenty of sizes to choose from, AND gift options, this should be the only popcorn place you conisder! read more

We spotted this place during a roadtrip, and were super excited to try it. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming. We got a bag of the caramel popcorn and the "Chicago style." The caramel had a weird (or at least unexpected), almost vanilla taste. And both varieties seemed to be just turning stale and weren't very flavorful on top of that. On the plus side, the store was clean and bright, and the customer service was great! read more

Stopped in to the Popcorn Store after hearing it was National Popcorn Day. Good Day Sacramento had a feature on this business during the morning show. Grabbed some popcorn for a couple friends and a small bag for myself. Purchased cheese corn, white cheddar corn, salted caramel and kettle corn. I tried the salted caramel corn which was flavorful with ample coating of caramel. Various sizes and flavors, plus a popcorn bar where you can purchase popcorn similar to a theater. Lots of flavors to choose from. Popcorn and M&M candy treats (similar to rice crispy treats. Friendly staff, helpful. Cute store. Pricey read more

Popcorn!! As a kid, popcorn at my house was a treat. This was before microwave popcorn. My mom would make it the old fashion way in a oiled steel pot. For special occasions, she would buy Jiffy Pop. Anyway, my love affair with popcorn continues. My palette for popcorn has grown as well. So when I am near downtown Elk Grove,CA, I try my darndest to get on over to The Popcorn Store. They gots fresh popped popcorn. The popcorn is hunky sized. Kernels are thoroughly popped. Plus they offer so many flavors. They have tons of flavors: white gourmet, cheddar cheese, kettle corn, birthday cake, caramel, Chicago Style, Vic's mix, and a bunch more flavors I can not remember. My fave is the Vic's mix which is white gourmet, cheddar, and caramel. The caramel is not over sugary and the pieces do not stick to each other. The cheddar cheese is my second favorite. The popcorn has a strong cheese taste without the powdery orange dust of a mess. You can ask for a sample if you want to try a certain flavor. Another awesome thing is the price. They have different sizes from small to feed a village size bag. The small bag is 3.5 cups. For small sizes of gourmet white it is $2.50 and $4.50 for flavored. The indulgence without the big hit to your pocketbook. The last couple of times I was there, the young gal with the dark curly hair provided excellent customer service. She had a great attitude. read more

While parking for dinner I noticed this place and immediately got a craving for kettle corn, so after dinner we stopped in. I've been in this shopping complex multiple times and never noticed this cute little popcorn shop, I was even more shocked when the lady behind the counter informed us they have been there for 20 years! What?! Inside is cute and cozy. They have a little area to create custom popcorn gift boxes and a wall of their current flavors. They have everything from originals like kettle, caramel and cheddar to more artisan flavors like habanero, almond joy, mango and cotton candy. The employee happily offered us as many samples as we asked for which was nice. My husband asked for sweet and spicy and she recommended a bag mixed with the habanero and caramel corn, which she made fresh for us. We also grabbed some bags of kettle corn, caramel and their English toffee corn. For the 4 bags it came to $40, not too pricy honestly. Once in the car we cracked open each bag and dug in. The habanero/caramel corn is pretty much gone, my husband enjoyed it that much. The English toffee corn was my favorite though. Overall it's a cute family owned small business I'd be happy to return to again and support. read more

What can I say, I love popcorn! Haven't been in five years, so I was very excited to stop. Didn't help that I was starving. Lucky me, they were popping fresh popcorn! Bought two Carmel popcorn (taking home tomorrow), and a regular popcorn to snack on for now. Even though I have my own popcorn maker at home, I find this suitable for now.. A little surprised that the popcorn was half the size of a regular kernel I make at home.. Also got a stamp card, so I'll be coming back again. read more

I asked him to make me popcorn balls. They did a phenomenal job. I've been going back ever since and will continue to support this business.

Today I went to the store around noon. There was a gentleman working. I purchased the white popcorn . He bagged it up for me. I then told that I love popcorn. He informed me he eats a half bag of the popcorn I bought each day. I then told him I bought the prevailed Carmel popcorn 2 times before and it was stale. He then was a little irritated and said that is no true. Well then I told him I bought some from a candy store in folsom. I told him that the Folsom store was way better. Again he then told he has been to tgat store many times and said no way is that better. He definitely was angry at me for making that statement. He then gave a some caramel popcorn out of this big container. It was totally better than the bags I bought before. I told him that was better. He then received a phone call on his cell. Then just proceeded to ignore me and walk away. So if he is tge owner than he is very angry at people who do not have his same taste. Also very disrespectful. Hopefully he will treat other customers better. read more

OK, I now get the hype.

I've been missing out on this place for so long! If you like popcorn, this place will make you into a popcorn lover! They made their popcorn fresh and it has a good life span in bag. I got their habanero and their Vic's mix. Their habanero popcorn was so good, good amount of flavor and crunch. It was so good that my family ate all of the Vic's mix (and I didn't get to try it :( ) lol Just enough more reason to go back! read more

It's been about 6 years since I stopped making the hour drive to get my popcorn fix. I was craving and decided to return. We purchased the caramel, cheddar, white cheddar, lemon delight, and the strawberries and cream popcorn. The cheddar was just as tasty as I remember. The Lemon Delight was a new try and was so delicious. The caramel was tasty as remember although some complained it was stale (wasn't crunchy). The white cheddar was too salty, even for the salt lovers. The strawberries and cream tasted like chemicals after the first bite. All in all, less salt on the white cheddar and revamp the strawberries and cream altogether. Worth the trip and as we sit here finishing devouring the last of the lemon delight, I'm contemplating another trip. Server was excellence. Ambiance was bright, clean, and springy. read more

Outstanding service at the Popcorn Store today! I was welcomed in right away.

Will definitely be back! read more

Great popcorn. Friendly people. I recommend calling if you are making large orders. I wouldn't reach out from their website messaging.
