    Salt water taffy
    Rebecca E.

    Great little candy store in Perkins Cove Maine! A wide variety of candy & fudge. Lots of salt water taffy, in a lot of different varieties of flavors. Kids loved it!

    a variety of sweets

    Nice little candy store tucked away in the corner. Good to stop by and pick up a handful of treats to snack on while you're in the area. We stop by here every year.

    The best candy jelly fruit slices. Recommend the milk chocolate covered pretzel and milk chocolate caramel nuggets. Excellent view!

    Perkins Cove Candies has a couple things going for it: they serve sugar in a beautiful location. Perkins Cove Candies has a few things they need to remedy. They only accept cash (but have an ATM inside that'll undoubtedly charge you a premium fee for using it) is number one. It's the year 2015 and there's a place in a tourist town that doesn't accept credit cards? WHAT? The service is also been the same sultry workers for years now. Come on, you're making a killing on overpriced candy in a beautiful place. Is life that bad? Smile. That said their own brand candy they offer is pretty good, but not amazing. They also have the same candy you can find in any Target but at double the cost. A fun place to bring your kids once but that's about it.

    Seriously delicious peanut butter cups!

    Pretty expensive little place, with a great view looking out over the ocean. Pretty decent variety of candies, chocolate, house-made marshmallows, you know, the usual candy store-type stuff. I had the pleasure of trying the dark chocolate peppermint patties and the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Both were outrageously good. Gripe: SUPER pricey and cash only. Most of the candy and chocolate is mix and match (yay!) but it's also $21.95 per pound. Woah. And it's a cash-only place.

    Penuche fudge with walnuts (a maple like flavor popular on the upper east coast)

    Perkins Cove Candies is the candy shop you would expect in a tourist town. The staff are very friendly and it's great for grabbing something small or large as they have bags you can fill with a range of items including many flavors of fudge and saltwater taffy, as well as tons of chocolate covered items and truffles. I had the penuche fudge with walnuts - a New England tradition that reminds me a bit of a maple flavor. It was $2 for a smaller slice, but the pricing is what I'd expect for a tourist spot.

    One of heaven-on-earth's signs.

    I lied. I said I would give 5 stars for every review regarding my Maine trip, but this one will only get 4, because the girls at the counter were gossipy and rude, to tell you the truth. OTHERWISE, this is a peek into heaven as far as candy goes. There's all kinds of fudge, maple, and your typical fruity candy (like peach rings). What attracted me the most was the wall of barrels of salt water taffy. I've never seen so many flavors in such quantity before. Blueberry, strawberry, orange sorbet, green apple, maple, chocolate, grape and even licorice! I created my own half pound bag of the more fruit flavored ones, and it cost less than $5. They're delicious, by the way.

    I was in here yesterday to pick up a friend & myself some mild chocolate nonpareils. I was sooooooo…read moredisappointed to see the increase in prices on their bagged candies & nuts and the contents being less than how much they use to fill the bags up with the product. I get that most everything has gone up in price but to give less and charge more is outrageous and I don't agree with it. I saw lots of things I wanted to buy & bring back home (Vegas) to share with my co-worker's but I just didn't want to pay the price for 1/2 the amount. It's definitely a great store to go in and look @ all their products, even stuff from your childhood. I'm sure out of towners have no problem spending the amount that Yummies is charging too so I'll save it for them!! Iol I did have to get some fudge as I saw they had my favorite which is penuchi without nuts & it was delicious!! This is a better deal because the price is based on weight, so no skimping there!! This is a must store to stop in if you have a sweet tooth and you're in town or close by!! They do have some souvenirs you can buy and a bunch of non-editable gifts. I did see the cutest stuffed lobster animal & wanted to buy it until I saw the price. Great selection of t-shirts too! Enjoy & have fun!

    Whenever we're in Kittery, we always stop in Yummies to pick up some treats…read more This store has pretty much any candy you can think of, from salt water taffy, to fudge, to old time favorites that you haven't seen in years, it's truly a candy lover's delight. If you ever find yourself in the Kittery, ME area, you must stop in.
