Holland’s Caramelcorn

Yum, yum… I do love the carmelcorn
Unusually spacious spot to stop and restock your carmelcorn stash.
I am half way through a bag of toffee flavored and white cheddar. Sweet, salty, sugary, buttery, air popped perfection. Conveniently located in downtown Washington, quick parking in front.
Worth the visit!

Great popcorn! I’d say it’s on par if not better than Garrett’s in Chicago, but with way better prices. They have a small stand in Northwood’s mall where you can get samples of their many flavors. I recommend their Holland mix (Chicago mix), but we enjoyed most of the other flavors we sampled.

I only rated this A-​Ok, because while the popcorn was outstanding, the woman at the counter was very rude. I guess she didn’t feel like being at work today because she certainly let us know that we were annoying her. I would visit again and purchase more, but I would check to see who was working that day before I bothered, because it’s not worth the hassle to deal with nasty people. If you decide to venture in, try the Holland’s Mix, it’s really great.

Just walking by this place is great! You can smell the Carmel corn before you open the front door. They also have Uncle Bob’s ice cream which is wonderful.

I am a fan of this popcorn joint. Their prices are fair enough for a specialty popcorn shop. I think caramel corn and cheese popcorn are $ 2.99 for a bag while specialty flavors are more like $ 4.99. Our larger bag of the Holland’s Mix (caramel corn and cheese popcorn mixed together… if you haven’t tried this combo then you’re missing out) was $ 5.99, and it was delicious. The flavors were fresh! I also recommend their Butterfinger, Heath, and Cheddar Dill varieties. There are loads of bottled soda to peruse, however they’re not chilled. Only a few select varieties are refrigerated (Coke, Crush, Mt. Dew…). I haven’t tried their ice cream, but it sure looks good. I like that there are a few tables and chairs to sit down at. I think the ambience is pretty plain. They could really play up the charm in this place and embrace it’s location. I love that you can see the popcorn being made and packaged, but the space could be better utilized in the future. But this is a newer establishment, so my fingers are crossed that they continue to grow as a business and grow into their unique location. I know I’ll return here.

I’m surprised no one else has reviewed Holland’s Caramelcorn! I wish I could rate 3.5 stars, because it’s inbetween ‘A-​OK’ and ‘Yay, I’m a fan’. This was my first visit, and I had no idea they have so many varieties of flavored popcorn. We bought several bags to try, and they were all good. The only employee in the store was not friendly, but she did offer a free sample when we inquired about one of the flavors. The store also has a neat selection of soda in bottles, which I’m looking forward to trying in the future. There were also several varieties of ice cream… but not much else in the store. Popcorn, soda, and ice cream, that’s it. Seemed like they had a lot of empty space.
