Located right on the Embarcadero, is Carousel Taffy. This place has warm, small town charm, customer service. Inside has mirrors all over the walls and buckets of every Salt Water Taffy you can think of, creating a fun house of Taffy! Let you try 3 per person. The taffy is delicious, highly recommend, if you're into taffy. *4/5 because I was a little bummed that they didn't have ANY Non-GMO or Organic*

What an awesome, delicious place! If you can think of a flavor, any flavor... they most likely have it here mixed into some sweet delicious Taffy. The cashier was very warm and welcoming, he even invited us to taste-test a few pieces of taffy before we purchased it. We ended up walking away with a ton of taffy because we couldn't decide which we liked best. Since we overindulged, I put them in the freezer, so hopefully they freeze well. We shall see. If you have a sweet tooth, you definitely found the right place. I'll return again on my next trip to Morro Bay. Highly Recommended!

We stopped in to buy a couple sweet treats. Staff were so friendly and kind. There are so many flavors to choose from! I had to walk around twice to check out all the options.

Always stop in here when we visit the area. Same great customer service. So many flavors to choose from, don't forget your free samples.

I can't believe this was my first time here. I have come to Morro Bay at least once every year of my teenage and adult years. My friend had to buy 3 pounds of candy for her dad. When she paid for it, she was given a bag full of candy! What a nice addition! Within reason, you are able to sample the vast array of taffy. Before buying, I would definitely taste. There were several flavors I didn't like. Choose wisely.

2022 update and upgrade. Always a crowd pleaser, their taffy is diverse in flavors and very tasty. It's the best treat on the embarcadero. Unique flavors I tried: Chicken and waffles Peaches and Cream Buttered popcorn Butter Rum Passion fruit Maple bacon Blueberry Muffin Chili Mango Carrot Cake Cherry cola Best flavor = coffee Tip - Take pictures of the flavor names as you're shopping. That way you'll know what you're eating later on. - Love their product but you don't live close to Morro Bay? You can always shop direct from the wholesale company "Taffy Town". - They're hiring.... Starting at $17

Fun candy store focusing mostly on taffy. Love that they let you sample the flavors first. Lots of flavors off the beaten path. The cashier was so much fun, we said, "Trick or treat," when we came up and she played along (until we had to pay )

Fun little place to get taffy candies. They let you try out a few before you buy. A lot of great flavors and my favorite one is the coffee. The employee is very friendly too.

We have always stopped at Carousel Taffy when visiting the central coast so it's time to review. The Staff is welcoming - offering at times for us to sample 1-2 flavors of the day or take a sample from one of the buckets; it varies but they do allow you to sample within reason. There is an abundance of flavors to select or you can get a variety pre-packed bag. The prices are fair for the location; they accept cash & card. The taffy is fresh- soft and flavorful. The store is clean.

I passed on this, but you won't.

We stopped in at Kelli's and ordered a mocha. Despite their shop being filled with customers, service was quick and we were outta there in about 5 minutes. They have lots of goodies to pick from, but this was an emergency situation - we were in and out. I will definitely stop in next time and take my time to look around a bit more.

They have a good selection of sweets, and a lot of flavors of salt water taffy. It's also somewhat of a gift store with little trinkets and souvenirs. The selections of truffles candies were really nice. So many to choose from as they all looked so good. Not sure if they're made on site or delivered to. Also the selections of jelly beans were impressive. Picked up one of the strawberry truffle and raspberry truffle. Both were quite nice and not overly sweet. It's a nice little shop that does offered a lot of sweet and coffee drinks. I alway forget that they have a good selection of rice crispy treats which is one of my favorite. There was a bin full of them right where you pick up your drinks.

I love jerky. And I'm always interested in trying new styles. So House of Jerky is right up my…read morealley. They have jerky from just about every animal you could imagine. And the employee working is very knowledgeable and can quickly give recommendations on you might like based on your 'usual' snacks. My only real complaint (beyond being somewhat overwhelmed with the sheer amount of flavors and meat types they offer) is that when you start to get in to some of the more unique animals, the amount of jerky you are going to get is much smaller and much more expensive than the normal beef jerky. I understand why, but when I'm interested in trying a new animal jerky, I'm often not willing to spend up to $20 when I'm not even sure if I am going to like it. I really think they could benefit from some sort of 'taste of jerky' pack or something that includes basically bite sized samples of various exotic jerky. I would absolutely play $20~$30 for a variety pack knowing that while I might not like everything, I am trying a bunch of new things but in small portions. From there you will then know what to pick up the next time you are there. So, I highly recommend swinging by House of Jerky when you are in the area. If anything to just see some of the unique offerings they have. Just know that if you want to go that route, you're going to be paying a bit of a premium for your unique jerky snacking experience.

Lots of jerky options! They have classic sodas in the back and other trinkets available as well. A…read morelittle more on the pricey side, but didn't disappoint.

Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

The menu is extensive but I only had one thing in mind and thus I got the CLAM CHOWDER BOWL $6.99 and HALIBUT fish and chips $24.99 plus $2 garlic fries upgrade. Sorry to say this place is as many have said, a tourist trap. The halibut batter lacked seasoning it was practically tasteless. It's freshly fried however. Fries upgrade helped the fries only. The entire basket didn't taste much like anything and the tartar didn't help. The clam chowder was very salty. And I mean, very. It barely had clams in it and didn't taste rich and mostly had big cubes of potato. It was disappointing. The lines can get very long very fast. They have a good spot with greats views or Morro Rock. Parking is free everywhere to my knowledge.

Wonderful experience! We emailed a few days in advance to place an order of two dozen oysters ($25…read moreper dozen), and heard back confirming our order would be ready. Picked up oysters at 11:30am, Neal was super welcoming (and gave us plenty of ice!). We drove just down the road to the Coleman park picnic area (no tables at the dock). We brought our own shucking tools, but they had ones available. These are the most incredible oysters--deliciously crisp, buttery, and light, and easy to shuck. We had a little lemon and homemade mignonette, but they were so fresh and delicious they hardly needed it. They are midsize, so two dozen was the right amount for two people. It's quite a drive from LA area (3hrs 30min), but was so worth it.

I was surprised to see them being sold at some of the Whole Foods locally in California, a real bonus! This company is a reflection of coastal fishery heritage. I have friends who like to BBQ the larger shell oysters, I prefer the medium to small and raw. The 24 Gold Carrot hot sauce is a real nice accent, it does not overpower the oyster. Either you love or dislike oysters, and these are the only ones I enjoy as I'm not a huge shellfish fan, but I found a home here. Your best bet is to buy these retail from companies who sell them. I was able to have an order shipped direct and they arrived fresh and well packaged. The shells can be mashed and go to your chickens are add to your organic garden soil, everyone will be happy and it replenishes the minerals needed in the cycle of life, nothing goes to waste! True stewardship of all the God given gifts we enjoy.
