To the owner's response that he/she doesn't want to "pollute the earth" with multiple sample cups... I'll be looking for when you replace the single use plastic bags you put all your popcorn in with something recyclable such as paper bags.

Update: I had to change my review after the initial review (see below) I left 3 years ago. Each popcorn we purchased was stale. Also, they made us reuse the same sample cup for multiple samples. I'm sure there were some good popcorn, but the taste is a little muddled when you put spicy popcorn, then peanut butter popcorn, then salty popcorn, then buttery popcorn all in the same single use plastic cup. Spending a penny more for new sample cups may be a better decision. New, plastic bags are used for all your popcorn sales, so it would be a good idea to use new cups for each sample. The pb and chocolate popcorn was a little stale, but delicious. My kids loved their bags as well.

Original post: Wow! There are a lot of flavor choices for popcorn. There are some flavors I would never think of. I sampled 4 and all were good. Spicey buffalo, roasted sweet corn, pizza, and beer cheddar. I went with 5 bags and they didn't disappoint. They also have a neat selection of old school novelty candy. The only thing is that their popcorn is a little on the pricey side, in my opinion. I'll still go back, but it'll likely be for special occasions or only a couple...

It is a real treat to have a popcorn shop in town that makes everything onsite. They have well over 20 different flavors of popcorn from savory (like sour cream and onion or salt & vinegar) to sweet (like s'mores or birthday cake). We didn't find one flavor that was magical, instead we enjoyed going on a flavor odyssey by purchasing 8 mini bags of popcorn, each with a different flavor. Loaded baked potato was the savory favorite and cinnamon bun topped the sweets billboard. By the very nature of having so many flavors, each batch was not necessarily made that day. So the popcorn freshness varied by flavor. Definitely worth the visit. Make sure to check out their fudge and candy shop as well. They also have a viewing window where you can see them making the...

I wanted something special for a mentor who had recently furnished a letter of recommendation in support of my application to Harvard University. He'd mentioned enjoying Donny B's popcorn in our last exchange so I immediately thought of them when expressing my gratitude. Additionally, when placing my order online, I followed up with a call to Donny. He went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure that all of my requests could be satisfied. One last thing- the price is unbeatable. I'm simply astonished by the quality of the product, the value especially relative to the reasonable prices. Long story short, in need of a delicious treat for you or a special person? Donny...
