I am very pleased with my popcorn. The Carmel is sweet and crunchy, the kettle is a perfect balance of sweet and salty with the right amount of crisp, and the cheddar lives up to its potential - not too much or too little. Everything is tasty and I will definitely be back.

Walked into Del’s for the first time in maybe thirty years. The smell took me back to my childhood. What a pleasure that they are still doing things the old way. Staff was awesome, super friendly. The popcorn is great. Made my mother smile brightly when I brought it home to her. Definitely worth a visit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Original Del’s Popcorn Shop in downtown Decatur, IL, and it was an experience I’ll cherish forever. Hailing from Florida, I didn’t expect to stumble upon such a historic gem. The moment I approached the shop, I was greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly popped popcorn, instantly transporting me back to simpler times. The iconic sign, reading “Del’s Popcorn Shop,” holds a story in itself, dating back to 1934 when it was originally “The Popcorn Shop.” The modest change to “Del’s” on the sign is a nod to its rich history, and it’s amazing to see this legacy preserved over the decades. Stepping inside was like entering a delightful time capsule. The store is filled with nostalgic candy, reminiscent of childhood days and memories of my mother’s youth. From candy apples and peanut brittle to peppermint bark, the selection of seasonal treats is exquisite. And of course, their gourmet popcorn, truffles, and assorted chocolates are the stars of the show – each bite a testament to their commitment to quality and flavor. What truly sets The Original Del’s apart is the atmosphere – it’s not just a store, but a place that keeps th

I received 2 double dipped plain caramel apples, 2 double dipped caramel apples with nuts, and a couple of varieties of their popcorn as a house warming gift from my neighbor. I immediately fell in love! The apples are crisp and firm, while the gooey caramel was perfectly flavored. They are hands down the tastiest caramel apples I have ever tasted. The popcorn was also delicious, with the caramel Kettle corn being sweet without being cloying, giving a satisfying crunch with each bite. The Cheddar corn was also tasty, without the Cheddar powder being over or under done. I just have returned home from my first visit, and the shop is warm and inviting, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the product... Well, let's just say that I may have gone a little overboard, lol. Sincerely a Decatur treasure!

Cool, old school style confectionery/pop corn store in downtown Decatur on North Merchant Street. Love this specialty shop and its early look sign, brick exterior and beautiful interior look. They have a great selection from popcorn, fudge, and many other sweet selections. Many items are here that would make nice birthday, anniversary, valentines or any other occasion gifts. A very nice shop, with courteous and attentive employees.
