Kettlepop

My all time favorite caramel popcorn place. Right next to my house and my first pick all the time. Been here lots of times and still crave for it all the time. Some might feel its a bit pricy but its so good that anyone would forget about the price later. Huge portions and well packed bags. Popcorn is always fresh. Try the samples first.

For years, I’ve associated this type of popcorn with cheesy holiday tins of tri-​color styrofoam; sometimes, I even see the Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman printed tins used as wastebaskets. Ironic, considering that people buy them for the trash already inside them — and then they eat it.
The caramel popcorn with chocolate drizzle has converted me, enough that I’m willing to wade through the sticky children going to town on the counter samples to purchase a teaser almost every time I’m at the mall.
I consider it Cracker Jacks for grown ups.

It’s some really good popcorn but there’s a guy who serves the popcorn with some very bad attitude that rolls his eyes for no apparent reason I think his boss should talk to him

I’m an Angeleno, so the first time I tried kettle corn was at Venice Beach. I was instantly hooked and it has been a life long love affair. If you ask me what kind of snacks I want, it’s kettle corn all the way. Chips? No thanks. Well, maybe kettle cooked chips, but that’s another story.
So back to Kettlepop. On a recent trip to San Jose, I took a stroll through the Great Mall out of boredom and what did I see? A freaking popcorn store (–or whatever you want to call it)! You didn’t have to tell me twice, I was all over it. Especially considering that I’ve only seen one and in the further end of my area. To my disappointment, the popcorn was not fresh. It was a little on the stale and chewy side. Would I come back again (if I could), MAYBE. I mean I understand that popcorn goes stale pretty fast. But for the price, I expected a little bit better quality.
Pluses, the service was top notch, 10% off with Unilocal check-​in, and free samples galore.

Bought a medium size kettlecorn and he even added some extra kettlecorn in a separate small bag not knowing the popcorn sold to us was old and chewy!!! I even gave him a tip!

Love this place Chocolate drizzle Carmel popcorn is the best! & on top of that my boyfriend works here haha he’s such a great worker, & all the workers are too.

well what can i say. the combination of caramel and cheese is the bomb!!! the crunchiness and freshness of the popcorn is absolutely perfect!!! i cant stop eating it once i started to eat it absolutely the best so far!!!

Free Samples…
and good flavored popcorn.

Pop pati-​pop-​pop, POP POP! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like popcorn, except for Ashley C. This, however, might just be enjoyable even for her taste buds, and yours, as well, if you haven’t tried it yet!
They got Sea Salted, Caramel, Kettle Corn, and Cheese. You can even add some decadent chocolate drizzle if you’d like. Sizes vary from a Teaser (small), Pleaser (medium), and Value (large). There are two even bigger sizes (~ $ 35-​$ 45) if you’re looking to take home a family load.
I’ve tried their Sea Salted and Caramel flavors. Both very good — crunchy, tasty, and popping with flavor!
Small shop, but worth the stop if you’re ever in the mall. Don’t miss it!

Love the shit out of this place. I can never resist any kind of popcorn from this place. For the family I’ll get the large caramel chocolate drizzle popcorn which is 16.95 or something. They used to have awesome resealable bags, but since prices went up they decided to not raise the popcorn prices by using crappy normal bags, but that’s okay my family will munch on on the popcorn and it’ll be gone in 2 days.
The cheese is the shit. It’s so goooood, but I always get the caramel chocolate. o well I demand my friend to get cheese, I can have both. (You can have them mix all flavors in a bag if you like, but I dont like the different tastes)

Pretty addicting but very pricey! My wife and I love their chocolate drizzle popcorn but it can be kinda sickening after awhile. They always have samples but I get scared of eating it cuz it looks kinda dirty at times.
A very small, cramped space in the mall but great gift!

I got a small bag of the kettle corn after sampling all four flavors (cheese, caramel, sea salt and kettle corn). The lady who helped me was very nice and with the Unilocal check-​in you get 10% off your order. Yummy kettle corn and friendly customer service, definitely will be coming back when I visit the Great Mall.

I only went to the mall on November 7^th for cheese popcorn. Arrived a little before 11 am only to find a piece of paper that read «back in 15 minutes». Ok I waited, went to Starbucks came back and sat down by the water fountain. I had my 3 month only baby with me (asleep) but figured the wait wouldn’t be so bad, the sales rep surely could arrive any minute. Went to the restroom, thought to myself if no one is there I’m leaving. By then it was 11:30 and then an employee shows up. I told him I was waiting and he didn’t care, served and charged me. His only response was sorry it was due to inventory.
while I waited a few people stopped by but walked away cause there was no help.
Won’t be shopping there anymore nor will I recommend it! Ah yes and don’t try to find a corporate 800 # none available, only the 408 number listed which sometimes just rings with no answer or vm.

Friend: You know, you should convert to Buddhism.
Me: Why should I convert to Buddhism when I can convert to Boo-​ty-​ism, but then again I really don’t have what it takes to make my booties clap.
I absolutely adored Kettlepop ever since I was a wee high school and I still do up to this day. I got myself a large bag of of half caramel and half kettle. Sweet and salty, that’s how I like my popcorn and I am munching on this as I am typing this review. My favorite however is still chocolate drizzle caramel corn because it’s so sinfully sweet and good. If you eat chocolate drizzle caramel popcorn everyday, you may as well be on your way to achieving Bootyism.
Thankfully I am not going to convert to Bootyism because I don’t like going to Great Mall or any other malls. Why? I simply have nightmare when I was a child and had to wait 5 hours for my mom going to different stores and try different clothes on. I still have «he who should not be name» queen still drags me every now and then to see her high knee shopping and trying on some clothes. Thank you mankind for creating a great thing called internet shopping.
–1 star because they downgrade their nice zip lock bag to regular plastic bag. It’s a real bummer because the zip lock bag keep the popcorn fresh and prevent them from staling.

The chocolate drizzled kettle corn was really good! Super sweet with that popcorn like taste. Love. :)

Aww man. What happened? The last two bags I got were disappointing. I can typically polish off a medium bag by myself in like less than 2 days. I’m about to throw out a bag I bought Friday night and it was barely eaten.
I just have to remind myself not to buy kettle corn after 8P EVER again. I got the bottom of the barrel with lots of little leftover pieces and bits. It didn’t taste fresh either. May be they should sold it to me at half off. I’m just so so glad i didn’t buy a medium or I’d be mad. I never returned food before, but the thought came across my head!
The bag before the «bottom of the barrel bag» just didn’t have the write amount of sugar and salt. It was kinda bland.
Still a fan and I know I’ll keep buying it anyways. Hoping my next visit (and it won’t be after 8P) will be better.

Not alot of people try their popcorn. My friends and I always buy a bag from here and split it. Worth the bux… and if you’re smart and a Unilocaler… they have 10% off when you check in…

Best Kettle Corn Ever
This stuff is so delicious it was going in by the hand/​mouthful.
Chocolate drizzled kettle corn with carmel…
I think SO.
A must try for the avid snacker.

New fave — Caramel and Cheese! Weird but so so goooood! You have to keep mixing it because the Caramel is heavier than the Cheese, so the cheese goes to the top often.
The guy there super packed it in and made sure I wasn’t going to leave a little trail and placed a bag on the top so nothing would fall out!
Nice service. Yummy, addictive popcorn!

Oh geeze! Thank God this place was not in LA, I would have driven here every weekend if my supply of Kettle Corn with Chocolate Drizzle ever runs low. I came here due to the fact that Jollibee was closed, so I gotta find another alternative food to chew and this was across from it. Btw, I’m talking about Great Mall here, down in Milpitas!
I luv Kettle Corn and I luv Chocolate, when I first ordered the small one, I was expecting myself to hate it because too much sweetness would kill me. I WAS WRONG! The chocolate’s sweet flavor wasn’t crazy sweet, it blended nicely with the saltiness of the kettle corn, it’s like match made in heaven.
I couldn’t stop eating and the small portion that they gave is NOT small, they overload the whole thing until it’s overflowed. The guy at the counter was so friendly, he also smiled all the time, so great service definitely. I can’t wait to go back to San Jose and get more of this stuff cause now I’m really running out.
