From Chicago, here now for work. Wanted a bit of home, decided to give them a try. A variety of flavors advertised, but unfortunately no samples available, for the price, i didnt want to buy something that I'd later regret. Also, even though so many flavors are advertised, and we were told all was made fresh daily, the large barrels behind her were all empty, and the place didnt have that freshly popped corn aroma that I'm used to. Maybe made at a different location and shipped in? This was a nice stop, the popcorn was okay and a nice snack. Nothing too spectacular. Nice to support a family-owned business, but I won't go out of my way to get popcorn from here...

It was an excellent decision to purchase the treats at CBPB instead of making it at home. I purchased two large family bags, one Carmel and cheese corn mix and the second was Carmel with almonds.
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.
Locally owned and very friendly service.
One of the best suggestions my husband has made! We will...
