I had their chocolate on several occasions and just find it to be decent. Their fudge is terrible though. read more

I tasted the chocolates from Caramel Candy Shop today, everything was absolutely delicious! The chocolates are clearly fresh-made, rich in flavor, and beautifully well-decorated. You can really taste the quality and care in every piece. The shop has a lovely feel, and the products look just as good as they taste. Highly recommended for anyone who loves fine chocolates and handmade sweets. read more

We absolutely love this candy store and always make a point to come and visit whenever we are in the area. We love the quality of the chocolate and carmel here, and the fact that it is homemade is even better. They have such a variety of different candies and chocolates that there is a little something for everyone, and we always end up walking g out with a whole bunch of yummy sweets. The customer service is always top notch. The people are always super nice and kind, plus they have extensive knowledge on the sweets they sell and are more than happy to offer recommendations and insights. We have been loyal customers for years and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. The quality is unmatched, and love the small mom-and-pop feel. read more

This little treat was a random find by my coworker. I am so glad he found it. They had a variety of treats, candies and chocolate. I like they had white, milk, and dark chocolate which is a plus for me. The person at the counter was knowledgeable and nice. The place a small but cram with treats, if the smell can be put in a candle I will be in heaven. Definitely keep an eye out for them. read more

It doesn't happen often, but I do get a sweet tooth and that means going into a confectionery shop only when I'm in the area because the prices here are a bit steep. I did not set out to go here but their outdoor sign beckoned me. This shop is rather small and they already have Valentines candy displayed. I picked out some chocolates w/nougats that should satiate me fully. I don't know if these owners are the original ones, but they could have been more cordial. read more

The Caramel Shop is the only place I go to for all my Easter candy needs. Their jelly beans are the best by far! They are not overly sweet and I could eat a whole bag in a single sitting (I try not to though). This is also my favorite place to pick up some milk chocolate nonpareils. The chocolate they use is delicious and the nonpareils are a nice size. I usually pick up a pre-made bag by the front counter. They are also a perfect size to give as a gift. Trust me, people will remember you if you give them this gift! Unfortunately, I haven't really explored much further than their jelly beans and milk chocolate candies. I stick to what I like! The store is very small and a bit outdated. When you walk in it feels like you've been transported back in time. When the store is crowded (i.e. Holiday times) it can be very hard to maneuver and it can be difficult to figure out who is on line and if you are cutting anyone. It's a bit of a dance really. Also, the parking lot is very very small with not that many spaces which is another headache you have to deal with if you come at a busy time. All in all, these little headaches don't bother me when it comes to buying their delicious candy. read more

Caramel Shop - My Easter candy haul! - Candy Stores Near Me - Ocean, New Jersey

If you like Taffy, chocolate or any other tasty candy treat, The Carmel Shop is the place to go. I was so happy to find that they were still in business after a recommendation from a coworker. The smell when you walk in is amazing. They have a great selection. I especially enjoy their salt water taffy and chocolate peanut butter cups! NOTE: They accept credit cards for purchases over $5 #Yelp100 read more

Save the money and buy some m&ms. The salt water taffy was the only thing ok. The flavor of the fillings in the chocolate candies were odd. The chocolate coating was off too. Everything super artificial tasting. Much better candies on any boardwalk. read more

Bad business when you can't make eye contact with a customer and treat them as if they're bothering you. Horrendous, RUDE, unprofessional owner. I was the only person in the store. I greeted the man behind the counter, told him Ive loved his candies for years, that my grandma & mother have shopped here their whole lives & its a family tradition every holiday to have these candies in our house. That was a compliment. The man did not respond except to tell me the dollar amount I owed him for the candy. Confused at this super cold response, I asked if he heard me, he walked away from me mumbling what I think was "Yup ok". Seriously? How the hell is this guy still in business treating ppl like that? read more

Love this place!! I go here at least once a month for the butter crunch in almond or cashew they have a full array of chocolate delectables and a full array of white chocolate as well. read more

Went in to grab my dad some salt water taffy before leaving the east Coast. All the candies were homemade. The people working there were so nice. Not yo mention all of their candy was outstanding read more

Want candy? This is THE real deal! It doesn't get any better than this! Caramel Shop has been here for decades! How do I know? Well, my mother grew up in this area so I've heard about Caramel Shop since forever and having been there and tasted their goods, all I can say is "WOW WOW WOW WOW!" Caramel Shop has candy store candy. By that, I mean chocolate a la Russell Stover, See's, Leonidas...you get my point. But this place is beyond anything you've ever had! We're talking fudge, taffy, lollipops, and the CHOCOLATE--turtles, sponges, pretzels, carmels, non pareils! It's ridiculous how amazing it is! My aunt used to send my brother, sister, and I Easter bunnies from here so they have treats for all the holidays! I'm pretty sure they do special orders, though I can't say if they ship. read more

Best chocolate shop in Monmouth County! Great family owned business and loves helping out its community too

I am from Wanamassa which is where the caramel shop is located in New Jersey my mother raised us on this chocolate especially around Easter Christmas and birthdays we would do the same for Mother's Day and Valentine's Day please listen to me this man who runs the shop for the past 40 years is such a hard workingman he is their morning noon and night he hires young kids that need a job and they do the best that they can because this place is always in motion everybody goes to this factory because it is absolutely delicious so what the store is small it's been there for 100 years the chocolate is creamy delicious handmade it is out of this world creamy isn't the word it is made with a lot of hard braking work the dark chocolate is spectacular the butter crunch is fantastic all the truffles to die for is the upmost quality so what the price is increased so did the sugar fields everything goes up but I have to tell you I live in Ocean County New Jersey which is about 25 to 30 minutes from the shop and I still go there there is no other shop around that taste as good as the Caramell shop I recommend everything in the shop he does not make the solid milk chocolate Easter bunnies anymore because they are so expensive I still order them personally but he also sells chunks of milk chocolate in bags and chunks of dark chocolate I have to tell you if you want delicious candy or chocolate it's the shop! And for those people that say that nobody's nice in the shop I'd like to see you run this place 24 hours a day seven days a week and deal with customers constantly screaming at you nobody's really nice today in the stores anyway so I have to say that's no excuse I've always gotten the best customer service in this store!!! read more

Ever since i was little (64 now) my family has come here ,when they lived in Jersey and than when they came up to visit from Fl ...I am doing it now I love there Salt Water Taffy and of course there Candies.... read more

Have been purchasing our chocolates here since 1996. While it is not cheap, the quality of the sugar free and regular chocolate is superb. Have successfully placed two large orders of chocolates for parties of 100 with no problems. We often purchase gift certificates which have no expiration date. read more

Placed a large order for a special occasion. A sample was weighed to calculate an estimate and I paid 50% down. I subsequently reduced the order by 6%. When I picked up the order the cost was 55% more than I was quoted. I understand cost is determined by weight and I expected a slight variation in the final price, but not 55% more. Owner would not come out to discuss. Could just hear him yell, "it's by weight so that's the way it is." Saleswoman added, "what you gonna do" as if this was how life works. A quality product will take you just so far if the customer service sucks and you feel you're being taken advantage of. What am I gonna do? Take my business elsewhere next time. read more

Not what I expected, but it's probably because I came here the day after Valentines. Store looked a mess but smelled really really good. I didn't see any See's candy that was mentioned in previous previous. Chocolate are almost $17/lb. Bought half a pound. read more

They have the absolute BEST candy I always make it a point to make a stop there whenever I get down there. Stopped in yesterday with 3 other friends & the woman that was working there could not have been less appreciative of our business. We were almost made to feel like we were intruding. No personality - does not seem to realize that a little kindness goes a long way read more

I had a horrible experience at this store and I will not be returning. I have shopped at this store for years because the chocolates are excellent. However, the customer service was beyond poor! While I waited in line for the cashier to finish wrapping my chocolates another worker said to me 'are you having a girl or a boy'. When I told her that I was not pregnant she looked at me and said 'oh well you looked like you were'. This was absolutely rude and uncalled for and I will take my business elsewhere. read more

We had a pretty awful experience today. Awkward location and a dated interior. The woman was very pushy and kept demanding that we tell her exactly how many pieces of fudge we wanted but she refused to tell us how many pieces are usually in a pound so we genuinely didn't know how many to tell her. She never did give us an idea so we just made up a number and then she started taking all of the fudge out of the case without using gloves. I couldn't bring myself to eat any of it but my mother ate a piece and she said it was dry, chewy, stale, and not that chocolatey. Don't bother with this place. read more

Went in for the first time, told the woman that I had trouble finding them because their Facebook page didn't have an address (it didn't) and she INSISTED that it did and that I should "check again". I didn't need to check again. I let this go as she was only hurting her own business. The thing that threw me off was that I was charged $8 for 4 small pieces of marzipan that was stale and outsourced, which HAD A STICKER ON IT THAT SAID $5.49! I guess they're lucky that they have their old timer customers (for now), as I will certainly not go back. read more

Have been going to the Caramel Shop since I was a little girl in the 60's. Best candy ever. I now live in Arizona and still call in orders to be shipped out to me. read more

Excellent chocolate! The caramels are fresh, chewy, and melt in your mouth! Delicious! Anything has nuts is yummy! I bought for my whole family and everyone loved them! read more

We have been coming here for years. Always fresh tasting and great quality chocolate and taffy. Not inexpensive, but worth the price when you want to indulge. They also have a candy gummy section of treats. Nice selection of holiday molds, so that you can get items to give to the kids for holidays. read more

Amazing. Tried both the dark and milk chocolates. So freaking good. Just perfect. My coworker received them as a Christmas gift. No idea how expensive the place is but it has to be worth it. The peanut butter in the milk chocolate candy tasted homemade. So good. read more

Best chocolates you can find in Jersey ! Can't wait until Valentine's Day so I can have a box all to myself ! Put in your orders soon everyone ! read more

Their caramel marshmallow pop is crazy good! Not over sweet and a little buttery. Lots of other yummies but I'm running back for more of these pops!! read more

Delicious old school candy shop. The best caramel covered marshmallows . The chocolates are decent but not my favorite. great throw back candies from my younger days at the jersey shore. Worth a trip because everyone will find seething they like! A little dark. Could use a lighting refresh. read more

The caramel shop makes their own candy, and it's wonderful. I assume the previous reviewer was implying the quality was on par with See's etc, not that the Caramel Shop actually sells See's candy. My favorite is the milk chocolate almond clusters. I keep waiting for the study that shows that almond clusters improve heart health. Then I can pay for it out of my HSA... read more

Well the candy is very good. But the owner is a candy nazi and rude as can be. If you complain at all,, he won't mail you any candy ever again. Even tho, They made the mistake and mailed the wrong candy. He uses caller ID and refuses to answer the phone. I'm very serious that he does this. That is not a way to do business. You need to be prepared for the rude staff. Not everyone is, but they take their cue from the owner. Good luck stepping into the place. read more

Local mecca for fresh made chocolate treats, they hand make most of the chocolate which is delicious. Mile chocolate raspberry jelly is my wife's favorite, mine the chocolate covered macadamia nuts. Hand dipped, the place is timeless and special, a great treat. Super busy at Easter and Valentines Day, long lines so shop early! read more

You gotta be kidding of all the candy-fudge-caramel stores we have ever been in this place was the worst. We have been going to momouth park for 9 years now and always wanted to stop here and it has become a great laugh between me and my wife. The fudge was WET AND THE CARAMEL WAS SAD. We have never given a bad review before we usually decline to comment altogether but stay away or throw out the cash as you drive by and go elsewhere. read more

Simply THE BEST chocolates anywhere. Commercial Chocolates like Ghirardelli aren't even close, and it's the best home-made chocoalate shop I have ever been to. If you want to impress someone, treat them to this. read more

All of the candy at the famous Caramel Shop is homemade, except for the salt water taffy, licorice, and gummy candies. All of the chocolate and fudge is made right in the back of the store 7 days a week 365 days a year. The candy is mouth watering and has been everyone's favorite since it opened in 1939. Its the perfect way to satisfy that sweet tooth your having. Stop by and experience it for yourself, you won't be disappointed. read more
