Best buttered popcorn everrrr! The shop is adorbs, owners are awesome to chat with and you never know what you’ll find while looking around. There’s more than popcorn in Indiana, lol and that’s true for Kelly’s Kernels too!

On 1/19/2025 Demi Bertsos had this to say:
I can’t rave enough about this popcorn! The owner brought some to Athens Gyros for us, and unfortunately, my husband didn’t save me any (it was that good). Today, one of our amazing employees stopped by and grabbed some more, and WOW—I’m officially obsessed! I had the butter flavor, and it’s hands down the best popcorn I’ve ever had. It tastes like movie theater popcorn but 100 times better! The perfect balance of buttery richness and fresh crunch. I can’t wait to go back and try the other flavors. If you haven’t tried this popcorn yet, you’re seriously missing out. It’s a must-try for everyone! Highly recommend!
