This review is coming about a year late but I stopped into Fralinger's during a visit to Cape May…read moreand really loved the vibe of this old-school candy shop. There's a ton of variety in the selection with some really niche and specialty items to choose from. If you're looking for a fun souvenir to take home or just want to browse around, I highly recommend stopping in.

Customer service was awful. The cashier made fun of me for asking if I could pay for the bagged…read moretaffy there. She said, did you just ask me if you can pay for that here? Uhmmmm...no, actually you need to walk out the door and walk down three blocks. I was completely shocked! I wish I had politely said I didn't want the taffy anymore and left.

Another iconic ocean city saltwater taffy place. Not as large or variety as Shrivers but they have…read moreone important distinction. They sell smaller sized pieces of taffy which are what we personally prefer. You can get regular sized as well. Due to COVID protocols, other than taffy, all other pay by weight candies were empty. The price for taffy by the pound was a little more than Shrivers, $10.99 versus $10. We bought an assortment from each place to compare later. Also Fralingers not only sells their own brand of taffy but James brand as well. The store was not as crowded and had some nostalgic candies for sale such as clove gum and candy cigarettes. Knocking one star for lack of other types of candy available but still a great experience overall.

Couldn't find the ingredients as I was a bit scared to not find them clearly printed anywhere. So only had a few samples and left the store wondering if I should have bought some or not.

I have been a customer for 40 years and haven't been there in a couple months and let me tell you…read morethat I am so disappointed! I always tell everyone you haven't had fudge til you try Steel's. Well the raspberry and pistachio fudge recipe has been changed and tastes more like a macaroon. Bring back the original please!!! Why change a good thing?

After seeing this place on the travel channel as so popular and famous on the boardwalk in Jersey…read morewas disappointed to see the ingredients were full of chemicals and preservatives. To make fudge taste great the ingredients need to be simple. This fudge was way too sweet and tasted gross and had to throw away the box as I couldn't handle another bite.

I hate giving them a bad score cause they were packaged well and a really good price but I found…read morethem waxy and some was melted and stuck to the paper. But in their defense I did order in humid August .They have a wide variety of products. Maybe the fudge is better. They also have the best prices and give you a coupon code .

The girl said she could take it back but he said, just ring it up. Next came us. $15 for a half pound of fudge. And they don't even give you the plastic knife. Plus it dried out in two days. Back to Mallin's Fudge @ $18 a pound plus buy one get one free. Or of course the ever faithful Douglas Fudge. We are locals and thought we would give this place a try. Big mistake!

You look around all of a sudden these brunette Enters the store. Door buzzer loud so no reason for lazy staff. Back to the brunette. Sneaks up on you very excited & asks you if you need help. My reply not now. Key words not now. Ignored for the time browsing but I re arranged the shelves for the staff. Lots of variety but a lesson in customer service needed desperately.

I'm kinda spoiled because I always go to The Original Fudge Factory but my sister in law was…read moreintrigued by the welcoming smell and the sight of the fudge worker making the whipped creamy fudge on two large tables. I was intrigued by the slabs of whipped up light fudge. That was delicious! I loved the caramel vanilla sea salt. I tried the slab style fudge , the chocolate praline and my sample was dry without any caramel to speak of. The help is very friendly and the whipped old fashioned fudge is spectacular ! I would recommend that but I would personally stay away from the slabs of fudge although my son tried the jelly donut fudge slab style fudge and he loved it! The apples look unbelievable!! My brother and sister in law were very pleased with their fudge purchases and returned the following evening!

If you have ever been on Wildwood's boardwalk, you'd know that there are tons of fudge shops and…read morethey are all having a special sale today! The sales clerks stand outside and tell you about "tonight's special," buy 2 lbs of fudge and get a free box of salt water taffy. If you live in a sea-side town you know that this is the same special that has been offered everyday since the beginning of time. (Not literally, but it's been the same special since I was a fetus. Only the prices have gone up.) If you're in town, don't get fooled by the "special." Check local papers for a coupon. Every fudge shop on the boardwalk offers them. (Fudge Kitchen, Laura's Fudge, Douglas Fudge...etc.) Over the years I have tried every fudge shop on the boardwalk and I think Fudge Factory is the best. It is the only place I ever buy fudge from. The shop isn't fancy by any means, it looks just like all the others, but it's the actual fudge and it's flavors that make this shop stand out. The variety at Fudge Factory is leaps and bounds above it's competition. With amaretto swirl, jalapeno pepper, watermelon and apple pie...I think this shop is in a league of it's own. (Well at least it is in Wildwood.)

While the old-time charm of this little shop on the Boardwalk, where you can buy saltwater taffy by…read morethe pound, is quite inviting, the taffy itself was a bit of a letdown. It consistently stuck to the wrapping paper, even when kept at a stable temperature. I even tried refrigerating it, but it still had an undesirable, overly soft consistency that melted right onto my teeth. I was hoping for a firmer taffy. The variety flavors were abundant though!

Like any other salt water taffy/candy shop on the boardwalk, but unlike the other shops they have…read moreJersey made taffy!!! Definitely worth giving a look when in the area.
