About Dave's Popcorn

This blink-and-you'll-miss-it little red shack open from late-May through Labor Day serves up some of the best-tasting popcorn we've ever had. Walking up to the small ordering window feels like stepping back in time; low prices just add to the effect, since they seem, too, like relics from another era! All the varieties of popcorn are delicious - buttered, herb, cheese, and caramel - but try the unique sweet and salty chocolate for a real treat. Dave's also offers large servings of a wide selection of ice cream, sandwiches, drinks, and hot dogs (a combo with chips and pop costs only $3.25). Pick up snacks for a picnic to take to nearby Powderhorn Park, or chow down in the parking lot - in your car or at one of the tables - while watching traffic go by in the verging-on-revitalized neighborhood. Either way, families can enjoy a simple pleasure on a summer evening, feeling as though they've stumbled on a little-known city treasure. Dave's has no phone so customers can't call to check, but it may be closed during bad weather...or stay open a bit later on beautiful summer nights!

Getting There

One block east of Cedar Avenue, on the northeast corner of the intersection at Longfellow.

    Dave's has the best popcorn. The carmel and cheese corn is really good too. There are 10 flavors of ice cream and the cones are big!!!! Our favorite is maple nut.
