    Holy crap! My daughter had best experience and unreal selection!!! This place is hidden treasure in Cannery Row. Rod and company really know their customers!

    This little shop is on Cannery Row and is pretty packed. While the vibe is cute the store is small and cramped. There is bulk candy and taffy as well as fudge and hand dipped chocolates. Nothing is made there but it looks good. Unfortunately even though you know that rent can't be cheap, the candy is ridiculously overpriced. Even for a shop in a tourist trap. I'd rate this shop higher if it didn't cost so much.

    HOW IS THIS $7.00?!? Are you nuts?

    Soooo expensive. Wtf. I know it's a tourist spot, but it's a damn candy story. Store looks cool and makes you really wanna walk through (so we did), but once you do you just start saying "no, no, no"

    Omg- like a kid in a candy store! Hee.

    Talk about being a kid in a candy store!!! Hee. The sweet smell of this candy store is so inviting, that alone draws one in! Hee. The lady greeted us as we walked in. The only withdrawal I would say, was that I wanted to but my Aunt 6 different flavored taffy's and apparently there's a minimum amount of 1/4lb. On the loose/weighing candy. I just got a candy apple instead.... No taffy's.

    Barrel full of salt water taffy

    It's eye candy. I mean that literally. It's a cool candy store that specializes in salt water taffy...every flavor you can think of in these huge barrels. Remember, this store is located at the wharf so it's a tourist trap. The taffy is really yummy but you will pay a hefty price for it. They charge by weight. You can mix and match flavors but it isn't cheap. They sell other types of sweets too but their salt water taffy is what I gravitate towards. Ambiance: every little kid's dream.

    Large assortment of saltwater taffy and retro candies available. Most of the aisles are so narrow and it got so crowded with strollers that had a hard time getting through that it was too hard to even look so I ended up leaving. It was a Saturday so maybe at another time would be easier.

    Fun stop for a few minutes! Just a whiff of the sweet treats would've probably brought my sugar levels on the diabetic side and my doctor would've frowned upon me LoL! but it was fun looking at the displays from wall to wall of all the candy and chocolates you can ever imagine. From assorted ZOTZ candies to Bazooka gums they have it all here. Huge array of salt water taffies lined in barrels and behind the window display case are slabs (more like small logs) of different types of flavor chocolates. They also sell ice-cream here. We stopped by to get some chocolate with peanuts to bring home (special request from daughter). For my friends in Sacramento this place is similar to Candy Heaven on Front Street in Old Sac. Purchased a couple of milk chocolate peanut clusters and off we went. Good service assisted by a friendly employee. The store is located inside the building where the Steinbeck's Spirit of Monterey Wax Museum is located. It has neighboring shops inside the building as well. Review #1694

    The fiancé and I had brunch around the area and wanted to explore a bit before heading to our next destination. We stumbled upon CandyLand, and although we had no intentions of buying any sweets, we headed inside just to check the store out for fun. The shop is huge with a ton of salt water taffys in many flavors imaginable. There are also other types of candies, gummies, chocolates, along with a few toys and gadgets for the kiddos. Prices are a bit steep, but I think it's expected due to it's touristy location. Lastly, although I didn't interact with any staff members, I did overhear a conversation she was having with another customer, and all I can say is that it wasn't very pleasant. Overall, a fun and colorful candy shop to check out if you are in the area. However, I wouldn't recommend purchasing any goodies here as they are a bit overpriced compared to other stores in the area.

    Fudge is EXTREMELY low quality your better off buying dollar tree chocolate for a better price

    I shopped here with my boyfriend on March 23, 2024 we decided to stop by. Only to be yelled at by the EXTREMELY rude, bitter, older lady working the cashier. Terrible experience I do not recommend. It's a very bad look because all of the other shops at cannery row everyone is extremely sweet welcoming and kind. I was extremely disappointed. If you do decide to walk in there good luck to you! She will yell at you for not being on the right side of the line? There is no sense of direction or signs indicating the "RULES" and the cashier also made rude inappropriate remarks as my boyfriend was paying very unnecessary. The fudge was very low quality it tasted cheap like dirt chocolate or something. I recommend Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory instead which is across the street.

    Huge fun candy store with taffy in every flavor imaginable. They also stock ice cream, chocolate, fudge, bin gummy candy, prepackaged candy, stuffed animals, Icees, jelly belly beans, Pucker Powder, and other fun items. The downside... extremely high prices... $6.25 per 1/4 lb.! For me, there are too many other candy shops in the immediate area to shop here... unless there is something here the other stores don't carry.

    Stale, Overpriced, Dirty store. It's shocking that they keep this cluttered mess of a store in such a great location.

    ***Please read before going.***…read more Be aware that there are no prices for any of the macaroons in the store. My wife and I went in and ordered 2 truffles, and 10 macaroons. Our total came out to $100... $100!!! I literally left wondering what they heck we ordered.. Now, we're not saying they're not tasty. Although I will say they are nowhere near worth the ~$7 per macaroon. The lady at the front was nice, although she seemed to try and pressure us into buying more and more flavors. Which makes sense- because they expensive as hell. I wish we had read further reviews and asked ahead of time how much they cost. My coworker makes macaroons and they taste incredible- much better than these. Learn from our mistake!

    DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! The owner was super rude and we didn't even go in and…read moredidn't even try to go in so that should tell you a lot. She told us to move away from the front of the store when we were just taking a rest from walking on the SIDEWALK....yes the SIDEWALK LOL not even in front of her store. So we said we are not actually and she continued to say "if your waiting for someone in the other store go wait over there" keep in mind no one was in her store and I been reading so many reviews of this shop and her and seems like this isn't the first time she has been rude to people honestly this lady should not even have a shop
