CBPB Popcorn Shop — Local services in Champaign

From Chicago, here now for work. Wanted a bit of home, decided to give them a try.

Both were excellent, I think we both preferred the mix with cheese corn but the Carmel and almonds gave an option for a nutty flavor.

One of the best suggestions my husband has made! We will...
