Toronto Popcorn Company

Found this place on Unilocal!It’s a cute little popcorn shop. I was looking for something to bring home for some friends and family. When you first walk in there’s popcorn everywhere!
They have little jars of all there popcorn so you can taste before buying. There wayyyyy to many to chose from. The person behind the counter was really friendly and helped me pick a few flavours. He filled the bag to the rim; a bag full of yummy popcorn. It was hard not to open the bag up and eat it all by myself. Definitely will return.

Definitely a must-​go place for popcorn lovers! I’m oooo-​kayy with popcorn but I loved the wide selection of popcorn here. My friend introduced me to this place (and took me here!). There are samples available of the different types of popcorn; choose your pick prior to buying :)
My recommendations:
* Green Apple
* Watermelon
* Toffee
* Espresso Caramel
* There’s also BACON flavoured popcorn for those who like bacon! (Although I don’t really like bacon haha, I know, surprise surprise).

Cheap and stingy owners! That’s what I can say about this place. I bought their Tuxedo popcorn recently which is caramel popcorn drizzled with melted dark, milk, and white chocolate. Well guess what? You ain’t getting any chocolate. My bag of popcorn was entirely bare caramel popcorn with just a few pieces covered with the chocolate. And I mean very few, like 5%. If the owners are so cheap in giving the chocolate, then don’t offer it ! Plain and simple! Don’t offer the Tuxedo if you are so cheap in adding it to the popcorn. So offensive how they scam and deceive customers like that. I would rather them not offer it at all than pretend to offer it. They just want to take your money and give you back nothing in return. Don’t let them fool you. Be smart and avoid this place at all cost.

This small place is so packed with so much yummy goodness and flavours. The popcorn is a bit pricey ($ 4.25 for a small, $ 10 for a medium). The medium lasted the 2 of us, two days. I would think the small would finish in one sitting, then I would be sad.
Each flavour is in a small jar, and you can sample each one before buying.
The actual pop corn is kettle popped, and was excellent. Not sure how to describe popcorn, but it was the good thick kind, not the thin kind that gets stuck in your teeth.
A great treat to take home.
I did also appreciate the help moving my stroller up and down the stairs.

I love this place! If you’re a popcorn fan, you seriously need to try it. I have spent way too much time here trying all the flavours– they have a great setup where you can taste everything. My favourite by far is the cheesy caramel– the cheese to caramel ratio is perfect and every piece is perfectly popped. I’m also a fan of lemon and honey mustard, and the maple bacon is awesome too, as there are lots of delicious chunks of candied bacon mixed into the popcorn. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a stop here!

Kernels is much better, because the popcorn is fresher.
The free samples get you in, but it’s really hard to get the jars containing the free samples open.
My bag of popcorn was stale, but after having the samples, which were also stale, I felt obliged to buy something.
There were lots of kernels in my bag of popcorn. I expected fresh and fully popped popcorn.

The free samples at this place are awesome. I often pop in with the intention to sample stuff and leave, but I always end up buying something. They always have some new kind to try.
Staff is friendly. Will go here every time over Kernels!

First of all, the lady that works here makes you feel very welcomed into the store. She invites you to try out any of the popcorn flavours. It’s not just about buying popcorn, but it’s also the experience of trying out different flavours and then taking your favourite one home.
There are so many flavours ranging from savoury, sweet and premium. The cost is very reasonable if you are comparing it to the higher end popcorns that you get in stores. We got the toffee flavour. It’s so fresh. We will definitely be back!

So much popcorn so little time!
Large mushroom kernels and really coated with flavouring — they aren’t skimping!
The bbq steak power didn’t tick as well to the popcorn and the powder would shoot to the back of my throat which isn’t the best feeling. But my favourite is the cheesy dill, followed by buffalo which were both so yummy!
The sweet flavours have a thick coating, you can really feel the weight of it when you get a big bag. Confetti has a mix of everything and the best one is roasted marshmallow which is black in colour — after a few your mouth and lips will turn black as well! The popcorn also keeps pretty well and stays crunchy for days in an air tight container
If you are ordering a large amount for an event, they also provide large glass containers, scoops and plastic bags for your guests. + supporting a local business is always better than kernels at the big malls =)

MMMM — popcorn. They have a vast assortment of flavours. I ended up bringing home a bag of honey mustard and blue raspberry. There are numerous flavours I sampled I liked including ketchup, pizza and piña colada. I will definitely be back for more yummy popcorn! They really make a lot of flavours and they were extremely generous in filling up the bags. I just got home and our medium sized bag of honey mustard is gone already.
It would have been a 5 star reviews if it was not for the annoying people I encountered there today. You can sample all the flavours and there were these irritating groups of teen girls stuffing their faces with popcorn and not letting anyone else near the sample section. Then they started taking selfies by all the different popcorn. I thought once they ordered their selections I’d be freed from their loitering presence but NO, they went and had MORE from the samplers.
It is a pretty small shop — if only there was a way to make the sample area less packed that would be my one suggestion. For now, the solution is obviously to go on a weekday, not Saturday!
Can’t wait to try more!

Heaven!!! Who doesn’t love popcorn! Just opened this past summer is Toronto’s first branded popcorn company. There are over 30 flavors available each day ranging from sweet savoury to the bizarre and whimiscal. Depending on the flavors and size the price range from $ 3.50 — $ 11.50

If you’re in Kensington, you must visit this place! You can sample all of the flavours before you buy and they have a huge variety to choose from! I decided to get the cupcake popcorn and cinnamon caramel. So yummy!

This place is amazing. It’s only 6 months in Kensington Market but it is a must go to place if you want a dessert or something sweet while walking around.
The service is exceptional, such nice people and the owner is very nice as well. Actually treats you like a human and not just a customer.
They have good deals as well and the quality of the toppings (chocolate, peanut butter, caramel) was amazing.
Highly recommend coming here.

This is a fairly new place in Kensington market. It’s small, but bow it packs a punch! There are so many interesting flavours to try here. And try you can! Every flavour can be sampled as they have jars lining the walls for sampling. And not the crushed up bottom of the barrel popcorn — the nice big pieces!
I tried the Honey Mustard and DAMN that is my new crack! I bought some of that and already inhaled a bag of it. Who would have that it would taste so so good.
The owners (not sure if they are husband and wife) are so lovely and will make recommendations and answer questions to their hearts delight.
The store is broken up into the savoury section, the sweet section and the candied section, making it easier for you to hone in on what you may like.
Flavours like Green Apple, Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter, Pizza, Hot Jalapeño, Cahun, Garlic Parmesan, Sour Cream and Onion etc, etc will have you coming back again and again

I love popcorn and this is by far the best place the offers so many different flavours! They have a «try me» section where you can try various popcorn flavours.
It’s reasonably priced for gourmet popcorn and it’s worth the price because it’s super delicious.
The store is also very cute and the staff are very friendly and informative in terms of asking them which flavours are the best and most popular.
Definitely recommend the maple bacon popcorn for all bacon lovers out there! You can actually taste a hint of bacon in the popcorn… but not so overpowering.
Great place, creative ideas, delicious popcorn!

This place is incredible!
The flavours of popcorn are creative and delicious. Maple bacon and cookies and cream are both really good!
I like the savoury options as well — salt and vinegar, dill pickle, jalapeño etc.
Most of all, the service is friendly and the prices are right.
A must try!

I saw a picture someone posted on Facebook of the popcorn bag they picked up from the Toronto Popcorn Company. My interest was piqued and I started to see a buzz about this store online. Essentially, it’s a specialty shop dedicated to popcorn. They have a wide range of flavours, including: Cheesy BBQ, Honey Mustard, Buffalo Kick, and more! My favourite type of popcorn from them are their candied flavoured ones. Some candied flavours included are: Banana, Toffee, Black Cherry and more! I got myself a small pack of Blueberry popcorn and my friend picked up the Lemon one when we were there.
I honestly think this is a cute place to pick up a surprise snack for a friend or for yourself. They have samples available so you could try before you buy. Their prices are wallet-​friendly as well. It’s my favourite specialty store within Kensington Market so far and I high recommend it!

Free Samples! Try before you buy!
If you are into Popcorn, you would have fun trying out every single sample before making up your mind!
So many to choose from, definitely hard to make up my mind.
I am though more old school and like my popcorn simple, salt/​sweet, caramel or plain. all these boring flavour. But when I got to try some wicked flavour and getting out of my comfort zone, I found the other funny colour/​flavour varieties were not as weird as I think they would taste.
Definitely pop by and have some fun at the Toronto Popcorn Co. Let your taste buds decide what to get!

This is a trendy shop fittingly found in Kensington Market. Honestly where are you going to find a gourmet popcorn shop in Toronto?! It’s really one of a kind and I think you should check it out!!!
For those who want the highlights and not the details: GET THE COOKIES AND CREAM POPCORN. *sooooooooo good. By God, it tastes like hot chocolate with whipped cream. Thick soft coating, crunchy centre. Sooo rich and luxurious. Best coated popcorn I ever had in my life. They dont always have it, so if I’ve convinced you about this selection, call and make sure they’ve made some.
They have a great presentation, the popcorn is kept fresh, there is an amazing variety (especially in the candied popcorn), and the prices can’t be beat. I found that they were not skimpy on coating the popcorn with flavor or candy. Its fresh quality product you’re getting here. Plus they are so flexible with how you can personalize your bag of popcorn. You can stuff as much as you want and however you want in the bag at a set price.
The options in candied flavours are fun and interesting and extensive. There are so many options. A lot of the options for savory (salty) flavours can be found at places like Kernels or the grocery store or you can buy shakers. One exception was honey mustard.
The popcorn genius was a previous pastry chef. So the woman knows what she’s doing!!!
But seriously, how awesome is it that they let you sample every single flavor before you buy it. Where else are you going to find that?
Flavours I would recommend is watermelon, banana, cherry, strawberry, and vanilla caramel. Flavors I would seriously recommend you sampling before you decide to buy is root beer and green apple. Not my personal preference.
If you’re scared they’ll run out of ur fave, ask them to put a bag aside. They’ll do it for you as they’ve done it for me. They’re nice.

I love popcorn, especially flavored popcorn so when we passed by this shop after dinner I just had to check it out.
Service is very friendly, there are free samples of most of their flavors on the right and I was encouraged to help myself, using the tongs of course
The sweet flavors are good, flavorful without being overly sweet
I’m tend to lean towards savory, the jalapeño has a good kick and I enjoyed the bacon cheddar also.
They use the large kettle corn style popcorn which I like
Each kernel is well seasoned, I didn’t come across any under seasoned kernels as I devoured my bag
If you like kernels, this blows them away!
