if you are looking for the best chicago mix (cheddar and caramel) in atlanta, look no further. i tested out a few shops in atlanta, and i am rating 5-stars based on: covid procedures and cleanliness, friendliness of staff/service, popcorn quality, and value for the price.
poppa's is only letting one party in at a time for a private shopping experience. if you arrive while there are patrons in the store, you'll kindly be asked to wait outside until your turn. there are social distancing markers on the ground if there's a line as well.
poppa corn is like the willy wonka of atlanta. he can tell you all about the different flavors and is gracious when answering questions, even when you have a lot to ask! he is patient and never rushed me during my shopping experience.
onto the popcorn: the caramel has a light, sweet flavor, with subtle salt content. you can eat a good bit of it and still feel light afterward, it is great for a treat after dinner. it rivals garrett's out in chicago. the cheddar is not heavy handed and has a slight butter undertone, so that the fat from both really complement each other.
lastly, value for the price was competitive with the market. you get what you pay for and compared to other sweet shops in the area, poppa corn's is right on target. there are A LOT of sizes and flavors to choose from, and you can browse the website beforehand so you can go in knowing what you want.
highly recommend!
