Patty’s Old Fashioned Popcorn

Love love love this place! All of the flavors are delicious, trust me, they are ALL delicious. The staff is super friendly and fun to talk to. Always recommending this place to anyone that has not tried it yet. DELICIOUS! The cookies and cream popcorn and truffle popcorn are my favorites.

Wonderful shop in Hyde Park. Just came back from Chicago and was craving Garrett’s style popcorn. Patty’s totally meets and even exceeds Garrett’s. Prices are very good as well and the owners are very kind and personable.

Old Time popcorn and candy shop. The popcorn is outstanding, the candy selection has something for everyone, but what really sets this place apart is the ownership and the employees. Every time I have set foot in here, the staff has been super friendly, super helpful and just a pleasure to interact with.
Around the corner from Hyde Park Square (behind the firehouse), it’s a little out of the way, but do yourself and seek this place out for a snack or a treat. I guarantee you won’t be let down!

Awesome little spot. I love the Chicago mix and the old fashioned candy store atmosphere

This popcorn place is a staple for Christmas gifts! The Chicago mix is great and they have an abundance of flavors

Stopped in right before they closed to pick up some popcorn balls. I had never been into the store before but they had a great selection. The two girls working were very friendly and helpful. I’m super excited to share these with my Girl Scout troop!

Best popcorn around… So delicious…
Worth the trip even if you aren’t in the area…
Try the samples… but allow time to make some tough decisions — or do what I did — buy them all :)

This is an adorable store with delicious popcorn. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have samples of all of their flavors to try before you buy. The caramel corn is delicious. Prices are reasonable too.

I came to Patty’s last week to buy party favors for my bridal shower. I wanted to get cute little popcorn bags for the girls, plus some nostalgic candy like candy necklaces or ring pops. The girl at Patty’s helped me out so much, letting me try the popcorn, and explaining the flavors to me. I ended up getting Cincy style popcorn (their most popular flavor), which is white cheddar popcorn mixed with caramel popcorn… It’s a great sweet and salty mix, that doesn’t sound like it would work but it totally does! I couldn’t stop eating it.
Overall, the people here are friendly and the popcorn is awesome, but everything is a little pricey. Make sure you check in on Unilocal to see if they have any check-​in offers! They offered me 20% off for checking in.

What a hidden gem, tucked away away from the hustle and bustle of Hyde Park Square. I had been here once before three years ago but completely forgot about it, until I rediscovered it! Nostalgic for the vintage candy of your childhood? Sour straws, ring pops, push pops, bubble tape — Patty’s got it. Frozen yogurt? Got it. Popcorn? Oh you betcha. There are samples out for you to try, and the popcorn is made in small batches so it’s fresh and makes the store smell amazing. And then there’s a rotating popcorn flavor in the case. When we went on Saturday, they had truffle popcorn. TRUFFLE POPCORN GUYS. It doesn’t get more gourmet than that! They have empty metal tins that I assume you fill up with said popcorn. The only thing I regret is not walking out of there with more popcorn. (WHY DID I GET A SMALL? ALWAYS GET THE LARGE. Life lesson learned.) There’s also a wall of Jelly Belly beans, and a display case full of chocolate. They also have bulk candy at a really really good price (swedish fish, peach rings, etc.) And to top it all off? 20% off with a Unilocal check-​in. Patty’s reminds you why life is good.

Went today after passing by the location several times, and I cannot wait to go back. Not only was the staff very attentive and friendly, but their selection was superb. Tons of popcorn flavors I’ve never even thought would be a good idea (rest assured, they’re ALL good ideas, and I know this because I spent quite a bit of time at the little popcorn sample bar they had set up), jelly beans, novelty candy, chocolates and even shaved ice. My friends and I had a fantastic time and I got a ton of goodies for such a low price. I’m currently elbow-​deep in a bag of popcorn and I cannot wait to go back.

Patty’s Popcorn is seriously delicious! You can sample most of their flavors before you buy, which is really helpful since they have so many. They also have candy, which I still need to try. My favorite popcorn is the cookies and cream, so so good!
I know that when the weather gets warmer, I’ll be making any excuse to walk up to the square so I can grab bag or two of popcorn! So glad I found this gem!

Wow wow wow! What an amazing store!
You come in and you are transported back in time, in the best possible way, to an old school candy store!
I was so lucky to be there right after school time, when store was filled with boys laughing and choosing their candy. It was a truly amazing moment!
I loved the interior (you just gotta see it!) and the atmosphere. But most of all: I LOVE THEIR POPCORN. Freshly popped, crunchy, not greasy, just perfect! The popcorn is popped without any spice, therefore you can add whatever you want! I really hate sweet popcorn, so I was super happy that I could try a truffle salt, which was one of the seasonal varieties. I also added a little bit of butter, which smelled amazingly real!
Such a cute shop, just steps away from the Hyde Park Square! Cannot wait to go back!

As I sit here nearly licking the bag of my caramel corn from Patty’s Old Fashioned Popcorn, I felt obsessively compelled to write a review.
I. Love. This. Place!
I happened in this store last weekend after meeting a friend in Hyde Park Square. Always the sucker for caramel corn, I thought I’d pop in and sample what they had. Not only was the caramel corn phenomenal, but they also have several other specialty flavors that are just super. Their Italian black truffle flavor is to die for!
The candy displays were cute as well, but I didn’t sample any of that as I was too focused on the amazing popcorn, which, isn’t laden with a bunch of kernels and doesn’t get stuck in your teeth!
There were two people working when I visited, a man who was too busy talking with one of his friends to answer any of my questions about the popcorn (literally, he ignored me,) and a young girl who was super helpful. Usually bad service is a complete turn-​off for me, but because the popcorn is that good, I’ll give them a pass this time. We’ll see how the service is next time I’m in.
The fact that I’m out of caramel corn at this very moment is almost enough motivation to leave work and drive over to pick up another bag. Seriously, it’s probably the best I’ve ever had.

This is one of the coolest places I’ve been to. I got a few bags of popcorn. Cincy style is really tasty! There’s a lot of different flavors such as your traditional caramel corn, kettle corn and cheese. Cincy style, Chicago style, cookies and cream, caramel and cranberry, hot cheddar cheese and caramel peanut are just a few of the interesting popcorn flavors I saw

our favorite popcorn location in cincinnati. we love to grab a bag as we walk past.
recommended!

The Cookies ‘n Cream popcorn is THE BEST THING I’VE EVER HAD. so good. Such a cute place and tons of tins to choose from for gifts.

I’m a sucker for Old Fashioned Popcorn. I just love popcorn in general. When my husband and I went to the Unwind Wine Bar for a couple of drinks, we noticed this hidden gem (located off Hyde Park Square on Michigan next to Unwind Wine Bar).
I felt like a little kid again. When you walk in, we were greeted by the staff.
OMG, this place has everything! Not only do they sell popcorn, but they also have chocolates, candy, shave ice, caramel apples and more! I felt like a little kid again!
The popcorn is made at this location (which you can watch them make it).
They carry all kinds of flavors. I liked that you can sample them. It was hard to choose so ended up getting the Cheese Lover’s Sampler which was only $ 4.95. It includes Patty’s Yellow, White Cheddar, Chicago and Cincy Style Popcorn. My favorite it the basic Patty’s Yellow. It has great buttery flavor.
Also when you check in on Unilocal you get 20% off your total purchase (unlock the offer and show the cashier your phone).
The owner was very friendly and talked about the history of the store. You can tell he was very passionate about the business.
My favorite was the how the place was decorated. It has a vintage feel (love the old hardwood floors) and my favorite was the Carousel Horse displayed in the front of the store. Even the popcorn maker was old school.
Pricing very reasonable.
Staff is knowledgeable and willing to ask any questions.
Now that I discovered this awesome place. I will be returning to buy gifts for family friends and of course for me!

***Patty’s Old Fashioned Popcorn is a candy and popcorn shop located in the picturesque Hyde Park (a small town-​like residential and retail district just outside of Downtown Cincinnati); a lot of their candy is big name stuff (though some hard to find options are featured); they do, however, offer freshly made popcorn items like caramel corn and popcorn balls; their popcorn options are decent and prices are very reasonable; I was not a huge fan of the smell of the shop (not sure if it was the butter or something else); service was pleasant and this shop is a HRC supporter***
Street parking is available.

When I walked into Patty’s I felt like a kid in a candy store! Er, uh wait… it is a candy store! An old fashioned seriously legit CANDY STORE! Even though I am not a huge candy person I still love nostalgia and boy does this place have it!
I would have never found this place is I wouldn’t have been walking out of Unwind. I can’t imagine how much business has gone up since they have moved in. This place is kind of nestled back on the back end of Michigan Ave so normally you would have missed it. It’s a tiny little white building. Charmingly perfect in every way.
We walked in and were greeted with a smile. Our eyes lit up when we saw the old school popcorn maker, then they lit up again when we saw the wall of jelly bellies, and we went crazy when we saw all the old timey candy. I just love that. You know candy that was in your grandpa’s dish that you were too scared to ask for? Well now you can have all your little heart desires! Just stop into Patty’s and they will take care of you.
P. S. 20% off with your Unilocal Check-​in! This places rules!
