We were taking a late night stroll along the wharf when Richard noticed us staring longingly…read morethrough the windows at the sweet treats inside. We thought they had closed for the day, but Richard was kind enough to open the door, welcome us in, and share a little history about how this shop has been run by his family for decades. We got to try a couple pieces of salt water taffy and although I've never really been much of a taffy person, the taffy that they make in-house was perfectly chewy and we especially enjoyed the coconut caramel so we left with an assorted bag to try. We may have been converted into taffy people after this... but even if taffy isn't your thing, they have plenty of other sweets to choose from so make sure you stop by and say hi to Richard!

Racist owners…read more People infront of us were able to pick their own salt water taffy flavors even with a lot of customers waiting. When it came to us (asians) the owner kept telling us to buy from the outside pre-packed ones, while others were able to pick their own flavor. I wanted certain flavors as I do not like all of the flavors they have in the mixed taffy pack. I would not recommend coming here if you are asian. We ended up leaving empty handed because they were like "i have a lot of customers waiting" oh well, as if we were not customers. Don't open a business if you are treating your customers differently!

I always look at the chocolates there and while it's pricey, it's definitely worth it, although I can never finish it in one sitting. Though like the apple, it can always be eaten over the course of a few days to extend the delightfulness! While the sweet treats are great, customer service is always a hit or miss and until you flag someone down, they won't come to help you unless you're by the register. Though on a slower day, they're a tad more pleasant. It's also a small shop with a huge bear inside so you can only fit so many people plus a stroller, so best to leave them out if possible.

I am sure she probably did not expect me to say yes. Atmosphere - A clean and organized candy store, see picture. Sorry, my meter was out and I had to run out of the store so almost no pictures. Smart to be located so close to the aquarium; get those kids, lol. Service - The person was on the phone the whole time my daughter was there. But still multitasking. Rung her up, etc. It sounded like a personal call... Price - $1.20 for 5 pieces of taffy. $5 minimum for credit card purchases. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success.

We got the hot fudge brownie sundae, which was absolutely delicious. It had a warm brownie with great classic ice cream, and the whole thing was very chocolatey and satisfying. Exactly the kind of thing I needed on a hotter day. The portion is a lot, we shared it among five people, and we all got enough of a sweet-craving fix from it.

It's super soft with a deep chocolate taste, lots of flavors to choose from such as german chocolate cake, cookies and cream etc or classics like milk chocolate and dark chocolate etc. The sign says 1/4 pound minimum for fudge purchases. So I chose 2 flavors and asked for 1/8 pound of each, which would total the minimum requirement of 1/4 pound fudge. However, worker clarified that the sign meant 1/4 pound minimum for EACH flavor. Ended up choosing the Rocky Road chocolate and I was so delighted to eat it! Highly recommend the fudge, can't recommend anything else here really.

Candy World is one the most effective tourist traps I've ever seen, a big, barn-red candy store…read moreright at the start of Old Fisherman's Wharf. My four-year-old was mad when we walked past it, and only moved on because I promised we could go back if he didn't get a sweet treat at one of the other shops. We walked the whole way down the wharf and my son still wanted Candy World, it's like the storefront imprinted itself on his vulnerable little mind. We were with our two-year-old and four-year-old nephew too, and all three boys were thrilled to go inside--like kids in a candy store, as the saying goes. There were stacks of buckets by the entrance, and we took one almost reflexively, falling deeper into the trap. The store was bursting with candy, just barrels and barrels of taffy and lollipops and every candy you might find in your average drugstore. The prices were astonishing. $4 for a ring pop, $6 for one of those flashlight candies that always show up in party favors. It took some work declining to buy those for my kids. We decided to get some fudge instead, and paid like $12 for small pieces of milk chocolate and dark chocolate sea salt caramel. Service was fast and helpful enough, and the kids devoured that milk chocolate. I tasted it and while it wasn't especially good, it was spectacularly sweet. The sugar was almost gritty on my teeth. The dark chocolate sea salt caramel was slightly better. If my kids had had their way, they would've filled that bucket to the top, and the bill might have climbed well into the hundreds. Candy World trapped us, but I feel like we got out relatively unscathed.
