Holland's Caramel Corn

Right when walking into Holland’s Caramelcorn store you are greeted by delicious smells, happy and engaging workers, and a beautiful retro theme! They also partnered with Uncle Bob’s ice cream which is homemade and the best. Don’t miss this stop when visiting Washington!

Only place I purchase my popcorn! So many great flavors and a wonderful staff!!

I stopped by for the first time yesterday morning. I was so impressed. The store felt welcoming. The popcorn was amazing and they had a bunch of different flavors, some of which were really unique, and all of which were delicious. But the best thing about the experience was the staff. They were just so courteous and fun. We chatted a bit while I was making my selections and I just felt so comfortable and welcome. It's obvious that they really take pride in their service and in their products. I highly recommend stopping in!

Pop. Pop. Get your popcorn here!

Popcorn is like a burger sandwich or pizza. You can get your basic form of the food but the sky is the limit on the various ways to prepare it. Pizzas, sandwiches and popcorn are one of the many foods that comes in a million different flavors and combinations. Maybe not everyone loves popcorn (do these people even exist?) but places like Holland’s Caramelcorn can offer popcorn lovers a seemingly endless variety to pick from.

Having been through the Washington Square a few times, I noticed there were some cool and interesting shops to check out. So, I planned a day to explore the town’s square and see what the local community has to offer.

Upon finding a parking spot and entering the store, I knew I liked the place. It had this welcoming feeling to it and the person behind the counter was super friendly. The store was wide open and kept the merchandise against the walls. This allowed my friend and I an easy way to browse their wares.

If you came here expecting to get much beyond the popcorn and soda, you will be disappointed. This store specializes in the popcorn and random sodas you’ve never heard of before. Luckily, there is a shop next door called Holland’s Mercantile. But that’s for another blog post.

While we wandered the store, I managed to accumulate a handful of popcorn and sodas to take home with me to enjoy at my leisure. I don’t remember how much everything cost but I wasn’t worried about spending a few extra bucks to support local businesses.

I will be honest, I may not have waited to get home before sampling some of the goods. The soda was a root beer variety and was bubbly and good. The popcorn, which the flavor escapes me, was good, tasted fresh, and had a bit of that grandma’s love put in to it.

Overall, it was a nice stop to pick up some goodies and to support a local business. If you happen to need some need for gourmet popcorn and odd ball sodas, you can’t go wrong at Holland’s. I believe they even do bulk orders for businesses.

Remember, try to support those local businesses around you if at all possible.

Used to come here as a kid a teen. Now I'm in my mid 30s and still enjoy it.

Delicious popcorn, lovely setting, great staff, and good ice cream as well! Feels like everyone is family

Heaven in a plastic bag. Turtle flavored caramel corn. Yum! Sea salt/truffel. Pepper pop. Next time I'll try other flavors. You can also buy them at the pia airport! Great way to snack on the plane!

The popcorn is awesome! The staff is super friendly! You can sample what you want! They have icecream and homemade funnels cones!! Yummy! Go check them out.

Great selection of flavored popcorn. Prices seem reasonable as well. I got a bunch for tailgating at a college football game which was a great snack to have on hand.

My husband bought me a bag of cheese corn when he was at the mall in Peoria. It is the best cheese corn I have had! It is tender, crunchy and so fresh! I definitely will be getting more.

Washington community staple. Not only is everything super tasty, this business is supportive of the community via fundraisers and sponsorships.

They serve Uncle Bob's ice cream, and it is so good! The popcorn is wonderful as well. Great place for a fun snack!

The smell of fresh popcorn greeted as I walked in the front door. The ice cream was wonderful and there was no need to ask for a double scoop.

Carmel corn is delicious.
