Kernel's Gourmet Popcorn & More

Superb popcorn. The cheese popcorn was unbelievable! Intense in flavor and super duper addictive. It's so good a customer while we were ordering came back for a second pack. Stamp of recognition!!

Don't walk past this shop without grabbing a pack or a tub!

Great popcorn with fantastic flavors both the classics and the fun and unique flavors great for welcome baskets, bridal party gifts, and favors!!! Always fresh and up to gourmet standard!!!

Great popcorn! When I need a local or Chicago treat for friends, I head to Geneva. Friendly and helpful staff. Just learned with 24 hrs notice they can make the cheese and caramel popcorn vegan.

Best popcorn ever! Better than Barretts lol. They ship to my ma in Southern Illinois and to me in Nashville TN. My little taste of home.. Great to store and eat from the freezer. Little bit goes a long way!

This hidden gem in Geneva is our 'go to' place . Driving 40+ miles is worth the trip.. service is always pleasant.

A person can never go wrong with a bucket of fresh popcorn and friendly service! I love that you recieve punches on your card with every bag or bucket of popcorn you buy. Adding up to a sm free bag of popcorn. They also do shipping! Wonderful gift idea! Gift cards as well.
Kernels, I'm moving and would love to see your store in Rockford IL.

Yummy! Created mini bags of cheese/caramel bags for welcome boxes for our out of town guests for our son’s wedding. My order was filled perfectly. Many Thanks

They carry kettle corn! We have been searching since moving up, and this place not only has it, but is also SOOOO good... And guy working was super nice. Great place, definitely going back

I've been buying this popcorn for a while now. Absolutely love it. However, my last purchase of the Mixed caramel/ cheese was not as cheesy. It was almost absent. Why? Please don't change the cheese mix. It's ALL about the savory & sweet. I grew up in Chicago and have always thought that the other popcorn king was the best. Please, please don't change the mix It's the best by far. Need to send batches for gifts. Looking for Da' Cheese!! And thank you!!

Really good popcorn I can’t stop eating it! i wish they had more flavors. I was surprised they don’t have kettle corn. Also some cool flavors like salt and vinegar would be great too. They have way more variety of nuts and candies. The popcorn is fantastic though, I can’t give anything less than 5 stars for this reason!!

The best popcorn in the state. Not an over statement. White cheddar is fantastic. Service is great. Don't miss out.

This place is my favorite. I used to go to the downtown Naperville location over a decade ago, and I had a craving for the chocolate caramel drizzle popcorn. They were out of stock when I came in, but kindly asked me to wait so they could make me some fresh. It is just as magical as I remember- so addictive… I also noticed that they can ship to anywhere so at least I know wherever I go, I can always enjoy a nostalgic treat! Thank you for helping this mom-to-be relive her college days!

My favorite gourmet popcorn! I love the fire and movie popcorns. In addition to popcorn, there is a good selection of candies and staff has always been nice. I no longer live in Geneva, but I always try to stop in when I’m in town!

Just left, great help from staff. Tasty 🍿 Popcorn and chocolate.

This is my all-time favorite place to get popcorn! Better than Garrett's and Nuts on Clark - trust me on that!!! They have a great variety of popcorn flavors and a lot of candy options as well. They have a wide variety of tins you can purchase for your popcorn, or various sized bags. They accepts credit cards and have a rewards punch card for regular guests. If you're a fan that doesn't live nearby (like me) you can also buy online - they ship nationally!

Hands down best popcorn in the Chicago area. The caramel popcorn is the bomb. I love the cheesy popcorn too. Make it a combo and WOW!

The white cheddar is my daughter's favorite followed by kettle corn. The service is always friendly and helpful. They even ship. I like to send tins of popcorn to my son, the sailor, and he loves to receive the popcorn. It really helps with deployment blues.

They were near closing, and some dude leaned out the back door to help us out. What a wonderful spot. Without doubt the best pop corn I've ever eaten, warm to the touch.

For fans of gourmet popcorn, this is the place. Several varieties from cheesy to sweet and numerous combinations. We got ours to ship to my son for the holiday, sending a cheese caramel combo and some hot corn that they male with a multi pepper blend. Decorative tins are also available with college and professional sports teams and other designs. Our server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional and the store is very clean. Assorted candy is also available to finish off the sweet and savory combo if you need it. Angle parking in front of the store and on street parking all around the block. Really great stuff.

Pricing is high but not unusual for this quality of product. I bought the cheesy popcorn and the spicy cheesy popcorn. It was so good. Just a little taste of heaven. The triple covered chocolate malt balls were decadent. The sugarless chocolate covered almonds weren't anything to write home about. I highly recommend you visit here off you are in the area.

Been coming here since the name was Kernel Fabyans, if it weren't for the distance from where I live, I would come here more often, but the popcorn has always been fantastic, as well as the Customer service. A definite must go to if visiting the Geneva area if you are not from the area. And definitely if you love their popcorn and want to save some trips and some money get the bucket.
