The wonderful smells lured me into this shop. I do not normally buy fudge. My son wanted to try the different varieties. He has a nut allergy so it was nice to see he had something like 6 options that were not free. I was quite impressed with the fudge, they tend to be too sweet but this was just right. read more

The fudge was good! At $5 for a small square, pricing is reasonable. The place itself isn't anything notable. Wish there were samples. As the main option for fudge in Newport, they offer a good treat to nibble on as you walk around and enjoy the town! read more

Newport Fudgery is right on the main street near the marinas in the heart of Newport. It's a cute space. I purchased three pieces of fudge: Oreo, milk chocolate, and triple chocolate, as well as a couple of milk chocolate lobster-shaped lollipops. They were all just okay; I certainly wasn't wowed by any of the fudges and the chocolate lollipop wasn't my favorite. I'd rather go to my usual fudge spots along the boardwalk in New Jersey. Service was fine also. All told, the definition of a 3-star experience. read more

Best tasting fudge I've ever had. I usually don't like fudge because it's too sweet, but not here at Newport Fudgery, it's perfect. We tried a sampler and all of it was delightful. And, get the sharbites, they are heaven! My friend said the peanut butter cups were the best she ever had. My brother-in-law said the salt water taffy was the best he's ever had. We also got to witness Andy Anderson, the fudgemaster himself, making fudge. Definitely make a stop here when you're visiting Newport, and take some home. They travel well and make great gifts. read more

Really tasty fudge! We got 3 - praline pecan, peanut butter chocolate, and salted caramel. All were really good and of course sweet. I think my favorite was the praline pecan but I honestly enjoyed them all. They also sell salt water taffy and elephant ears and other little candies. Quaint little shop to stop by whilst walking down the area of Newport. read more

Great fudge for the price and prime location. Dinging a star for service. We walked in (just us 2 and the cashier in the store) no greeting, no acknowledgment, nothing. Not even when we stepped up to the glass to read the different flavors. It was really awkward as he filled the glass with more fudge but didn't bother to look up and say hi or anything. Didn't feel entirely that welcoming. Maybe a bad day? Who knows. I'd come back to give it another shot. read more

Located on the busy & active Thames st, this fudgery did not disappoint. We tried several different flavors and were impressed by them all.

Very tasty. Newport surprisingly has Kilwin's everywhere, but I can get that at home in Michigan, so we stopped by here instead today. Instead of large bricks of fudge for around $8, which is what I'm used to, they sell half-bricks for $4. Kinda cool because you could mix and match if you like. I bought some chocolate peanut butter fudge and I tried it tonight in my hotel room and it was delicious. I regretted not buying the fudge sampler ($8) which my friend bought, because I think it was like 6-8 different smaller pieces of fudge; they asked her if she wanted mint fudge or not in hers, apparently that's a contentious flavor for some, haha! Overall very delicious so I would stop by here again when in Newport. read more

A great location on a busy street. I am sure this store attracts plenty of tourists for its inventory of fudge, but also its various flavors of fudge. I found the stop expensive, but I am sure it's location is expensive as well. read more

Disappointed in the salt water taffy. I confess this is a fudge spot but my kids chose salt water taffy. It was very stale, I could not eat it at all. This might be because we visited in March but they should check that the treats they are selling are still good. The staff is friendly and it's in a good spot but I don't know I'd return considering the stale candies. read more

Went it for some fudge. All the flavors we got were excellent except the Oreo one. The others were nice and creamy. Nice shoppe! read more

All the fudge is pre-portioned out due to Covid. I want to be able to get a weight amount in the fudge i want, not just the two sizes they offer. Elephant ears are good. They have salt water taffy as well. I'll pass until you can start ordering by weight again. read more

The fudge was delicious. I don't like how it is sold. I wanted a pound of fudge. They only have pre packaged. I was told each package was about a quarter of a pound they were sold as 3/$12 or 6/$22. Well they definitely are not a quarter of a pound. One was 3 3/8 oz., one was 2 1/4 oz and one 3 1/8. I will never buy pre packaged again. The consumer really gets gypped read more

The young man that helped me was great. I love fudge and I have visited Newport two times now so I had to get the Fudgery's fudge again because I had some a few years ago and loved it then. I was not disappointed this time either. read more

Visited today and bought 3 different flavors for $10. Got chocolate, maple walnut, and praline pecan - all were fantastically flavorful fudge! The woman that helped us was friendly, pleasant and very helpful answering questions - SUPER NICE! Definitely going back to take advantage of the 6 for $19 deal (which I wish we had already done, but this was our first time and we didn't know how good the fudge was) and try some other ( I am sure will be ) wonderful flavors. What a great place!!! read more

Mmmmm. Fudge. I think when it comes to fudge, I only want a few things. I want variety. I want to not be hosed when charged by the pound. And if possible, I'd like to see it be made on premises so I know the place is for real. This shop hit all three of those things. While the staff wasn't proactive about offering me samples, they did offer sample packs containing various squares of fudge. Probably 6 different kinds. I went with that for under $6. That price seems reasonable, but even if you don't think it is, it's worth stopping in here to just to smell the place. read more

Smallish selection of candy but they had my Jelly Bellys! Weird thing was I tried to pay with my credit card but it would not scan. I asked the person to just type in the numbers but he would not. grrrrrr read more

Solid 3 fudge shop. The fudge was good, but I feel it was WAY too overpriced. Almost $9 for 2 pieces of fudge that didn't have any weight to them? Come on. I had just a plain milk chocolate fudge, and my boyfriend had the chocolate chip cookie dough. The staff were nice enough, but it's definitely a tourist trap. Save your money and get a nice drink at The Red Parrot or get some ice cream somewhere else. Unless you feel like wasting some money. read more

It's priced like a tourist trap because it is one. But well-made fudge gets a four star review. That's just how these things go. The location is convenient and it didn't appear crowded after dinner, so stop on in and get some fudge, peanut butter cups or any other pricey but delicious treats. Bonus points to the sign on the tip jar. "Give me $1 and I can go to college. Give me $5 and I won't have to." read more

Delicious food! Got fudge and taffy. Salted caramel and Toll House were to die for. Young high school workers who were hard working and really friendly. Very cool watching the fudge being made. Great place to bring kids. read more

This is a little place in Newport that has a good selection of fudge and Taffy. I went to this place just to check it out, but ended up getting some truffles and trying out triple chocolate and salted caramel fudge, all of which tasted great. The lady who worked here was soo nice and friendly; amazing customer service. read more

We were drawn in by the sweet smell of chocolate (and the rumbling in our tummies). The wall of fudge called to us, and we were listening! The employees seemed to be mostly kids, and they were pretty friendly and patient as we took forever to decide what we wanted to take home. We couldn't decide between all of the flavors, so we opted for a small sampler package (priced by weight; ours was a little over $6) that had small chunks of 7 or 8 different flavors of fudge. We asked the employee behind the counter to tell us each of the flavors inside, and luckily there was one with all of the flavors we wanted to try! Everything was yummy, but our favorites had to be the mint chocolate chip & the chocolate peanut butter flavors. The triple chocolate (the darkest one) and the chocolate marshmallow were also great. So, naturally, on our way out of town the next afternoon, we stopped back in to pick up a small souvenir box (2 slices, $8) of our favorites: a slice of Mint Chocolate Chip and a slice of Chocolate Peanut Butter. I'm definitely having some for dessert tonight. It's the perfect treat to make it feel like our weekend vacation is lasting just a little bit longer ... read more

Not a fan of this fudge at all - wish I had sampled it first before buying one of the small boxes. I *know fudge is supposed to be sweet but this is almost sickeningly so and other than the sweet coming through the flavors I got really don't taste like anything. I got toll house and oreo crunch - both are vanilla based I guess? You can see (but can't taste) the oreos or chocolate chips in either. Honestly I had a few bites of each and threw the rest away. What a waste of almost $10 (they say the small box is supposed to be half a pound but they always end up stuffing more in there and asking "if that's OK?" It happened to myself and the people in front of me in line). read more

We jumped into this shop to escape the bagpipers - really! Not a bad escape if you ask me :) We didn't get any fudge but I noticed some lovely concoctions and learned that they don't call them turtles, they're shark bites here at Newport Fudgery. Whatever you call it, it's a lovely little thing. read more

Came in here after a great experience at the other location. Was greeted by two younger men, maybe high school or college aged, who were kind and offered assistance. We knew exactly what we came back for, so we were in and out pretty quick. Banana salt water taffy and a 3/$10 fudge. Friendly service staff who knew their products well and yummy fudge. We've been to both locations and have yet to have anything negative to say, not sure what's up with the bad reviews. Go getcha some fudge. read more

Two stars perfectly sums up my thoughts: I've experienced better. And by experienced better I mean I've made better. I like my fudge smooth, creamy, savory. This fudge was overly sweet with sugar granules ruining every bite. Ah well. read more

I have new found respect for the people who make fudge. We watched some guys working on it. What a workout! They were so friendly as we asked them questions about how long it takes, temperatures, etc. In the end all of their hard work is worth it. I got a family size box of fudge so I was able to get 4 flavors of fudge. I am slowly sampling them so I can avoid going into a sugar coma. I really like the tollhouse cookie but hte regular with nuts is classic. While there I got 3 elephant ears, which are sweet buttery pastries that consist of a puff pastry dough, sugar, and cinnamon. My dad really enjoyed it. I ate mine on the drive back from Newport to Brookline- my car needs a serious vacuuming now. read more

Chocolate is good! Peanut butter is excellent and the chocolate with cashews is ok. Good service. My husband is addicted to it. read more

Wow, I'm not one to post about a less than ideal experience and actually this is the first time I have posted on yelp but the older lady who I guess owns the place was probably the rudest person I've ever met and after looking at other reviews it seems she is often this way. She rudely told us to shut the door behind us because it is cold before we were even in the store (A customer inside gave me a look that told me this lady was not friendly) and then when we were looking at the fudge and asked if she gives a sample because we wanted to try a flavor that was new to us she said "only if you are planning to buy something". Just for the record, my wife and I are in our 40s and don't look like we crawled out of the gutter. Anyway, after she gave us a teeny tiny sample and said it's big enough to split (the sample that was about the size of an eyelash) my wife asked if we buy by the slice or how it works and she said "well if you had not jumped the gun asking for a sample I could've explained it". She then went on to explain the options and my wife and I just looked at each other because we literally did not understand anything she said because we were shocked at how rude she was. I then told her we had planned to buy something but because she was so rude we would go somewhere else and then she started yelling at me and said get out, aren't you a pleasure, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. Wow. I left trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and thinking maybe a family member had recently passed away or something but after reading other reviews I realize she is just a miserable human. Pretty sad. By the way, the fudge down the street at Kilwins was great and they were super nice! read more

Seriously the best fudge we have ever eaten. The woman who helped us was very clear about which fudge had nuts and which didn't, and while she was helping us, she gave great advice about things to do & see in Newport as it was our first visit. The kids loved the taffy too, though I prefer mine a little denser and chewier. read more

Good fudge, but BEWARE there's a witch lurking inside. Walked in and already could tell the vibe was off. Kid working the counter was helpful, but the woman(might be the owner or manager) was almost mad to have customers inside. Was ready to dish out $ and splurge on fudge but changed my mind. I'll shop elsewhere. read more

This is the best fudge you will find anywhere. This place and the mansions are the two must-sees in Newport. In spite of previous reviews, the staff have always been very friendly and helpful to me and my family. The saltwater taffy is also excellent. read more

It seems that every resort town like Newport, Banff or Bar Harbor has to have one or more fudge places in it, and it also seems that I can't resist buying some. The fact that the glossy tourist map I got from the information center had a $2 coupon on it didn't hurt, either. My wife and I bought a pound of fudge: three-quarters of a pound of the "double chocolate" (or maybe it was called "triple chocolate"; I forget) which despite the name is not multiple kinds of chocolate but just extra-chocolaty, and one -quarter pound of the chocolate chip fudge. The quality was good, but not as good, say, as is the fudge at Ben and Bill's in Bar Harbor. (My wife said that she thought the fudge she sometimes makes at home is better than the fudge we got here; I am inclined to agree.) The service also leaves something to be desired. The lady behind the counter cut off quarter-pound slabs using some kind of marked tool, and when she got to the last slab, a paper-thin small remnant remained. I asked if I could get that as a sample. No, she said, it was "going to be used". Now, there is no way that this small a piece was ever "going to be used" as anything other than a taste for the lady behind the counter. Considering that I had just bought about $12 worth of fudge, you'd think they would have tossed that in as a freebie; most fudge places will offer free samples even to people who don't buy anything at all. This seemed kind of chintzy on their part. Overall, I would say the fudge here was satisfactory, but over-priced; I wouldn't rule out my making a return purchase here if I was in town again, but I wouldn't be champing at the bit to do so. read more

Service was good, but I don't like fudge. The tollhouse one was pretty good. Otherwise, don't really base your decision to go here on my review. Fudge makes my jaw hurt for some reason. read more

The best fudge I've ever had. Period. I picked up the two flavor sampler of Toll House and Chocolate Marshmallow. The Chocolate Marshmallow was absolutely delicious -- soft, sweet, and tasty. The toll house has yet to be delved into... The two-flavor sampler is $7. They also had "Elephant Ears," which looked DELIGHTFUL, but my wife and I chose not to go down that route. Today. Nice little spot in downtown Newport and wasn't busy at all. They also have jelly beans for those who love that as well. read more

Cute little fudge place but nothing that blew me away. The fudge was good... so if you are in the mood.. go check it out.

Poor service. Closed earlier than posted times. Clerk was in the store talking to friends when they were supposed to be open. Average fudge and subpar taffy. read more

OK...so feeling as though I must add my high review to counteract the low one! I thought this fudge was amazing! Just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. Also it was solid but not too solid and creamy but not too creamy-ya know!! We bought the sample box and enjoyed every piece! Lots of different flavors available. So pick some up and savor it cause it's gone too soon. read more

I love fudge and am picky when it comes to my special indulgences-- this place was great all around! I enjoyed watching fudge as it was made too. The fudge here is really delicious and anyone who loves fudge should try it out. I wish I lived closer because I'd buy their fudge all the time! read more

Horrible service and unfriendly, unhelpful staff! My family and I visited this store just this morning. There was no one in the store except for us. The 3 employees were eating behind the counters the entire time we were in the store and acted disturbed that we interrupted their conversation/eating. The young male employee served us but acted very annoyed that he had to stop chatting it up with his co-workers in order to serve us. It was our first time in this store so we did not know exactly what we wanted ... once again, the young male employee almost sighed when we stopped mid order to figure out what other kind of fudge we wanted to purchase. The employee offered no help, no input and when we asked how the products were, he acted annoyed. After ordering fudge, we inquired about the truffles - how dare we continue ordering! The employees were rude, not helpful at all --- I'm sorry I spent $50 in this place as there was another fudge shoppe just down the road. If you want bad service, go to this place. I would have probably bought more of this store's products had the employees been friendly, helpful and made some suggestions and ... maybe try to act like they like/were doing their job. I suggest the owner find new help! I haven't tried the product as they were all presents - I am only rating the horrible service! read more
