I am thrilled that this Kernels store is still alive and kicking! I dropped by this Kernels store years ago, well before I joined Yelp. What's unique about this store is that you get Kernels, Country Style, and Baskin Robbins together. I love one-stop shopping. It's essentially a deep store with three brands under one roof. I will say that it's more like a 40-20-40 percentage breakdown with Kernels, Country Style, and Baskin Robbins, respectively, as far as space usage goes within the store. The Kernels is definitely a regular store with the same offerings, if not more than you'd get at a Kernels in a mall. Today, I was driving northbound along Bayview Avenue from downtown Toronto. I went through three large bags of popcorn that I had bought a week ago. I dropped by this Kernels to replenish my stash. I walked in. There were two female staff members in the front. One looked at me and then continued to look at her popcorn. Interesting. Her other staff member went to help me out and she was far warmer. I asked whether there were any popcorn specials. Sure enough, if you get two medium or large bags, you get a third of the same size for free. Yay! It's my favourite special. I got the following flavours: - Buttersalt (lightly salted and buttered popcorn) - Jalapeno jack (slight spice kick) - Superkid (blue raspberry, banana, and cotton candy) This woman was great. She stuffed each bag as full as she could with popcorn. Such a saint! My popcorn bags came up to $27 with tax. I used a credit card to pay for my items. It doesn't have the tap option, but it still works here once I enter my PIN. I thanked the woman, who was so generous to bag my bags of popcorn. She didn't have to, for the popcorn bags already have handles, but I appreciated it. Buttersalt has always been my go-to flavour for years. It's the perfect balance of butter and salt. It is so yummy. I recently had the jalapeno jack and loved it so much that I got it again. It has a lot of flavour and a bit of heat, but not enough for you to grab a glass of milk to extinguish the fire in your mouth. There won't be one! I tend to enjoy a sweeter popcorn flavour now and again. Superkid consists of blue raspberry, banana, and cotton candy flavours. This flavour combination works well. Superkid is super awesome! I like that it's not so sugary that you are going to bounce off walls for a while before you crash. It's the perfect light coating of these flavours on the popcorn. What feels like eons ago, I was an undergraduate at Glendon College, one major street south of York Mills Shopping Centre (it's more like a plaza) where this Kernels is. If this store existed here when I was an undergraduate student, I would have been broke and got a student loan to support me. I love this store. It makes delicious, fresh popcorn. There's plenty of parking in this plaza. I backed into a spot steps away from the main entrance. (410) read more
