We popped in here while walking around Estes! It was a great experience. We had kiddos in our group and the staff at the taffy shop were so kind and attentive. They even let them touch some of the taffy before it was stretched, which was so interactive and fun. There are so many flavors to choose from and walking around the shop choosing was memorable and sweet (literally). read more

We went in expecting to buy the little one a few pieces of cinnamon taffy, her favorite, and ended up being a pound (which we do not need!). There is a great selection of different flavors and we were too weak to resist. We did not count but there has to be at least a couple of dozen. So far, we've tried a few pieces and the flavors are spot on. The taffy is soft and fresh. Now the question is who is going to eat all this taffy? read more

Love taffy? Then this is the place to go. It's soft, silky, and shiny candy is full of flavor without that salty taste like some can be. I just stopped this on a whim with a friend of mine and decided to try it. I'm glad we did. We stopped by on a Saturday and I just wished the cashier was a little bit nicer. She had a bit of an attitude when my friend asked a question, but I'll still give the shop 5 stars because of the variety and taste. read more

While in Estes Park, one of the hardest decisions you might have to make is to decide what candy store to visit. If you love Salt Water Taffy, than Purple Mountain is your holy grail. This taffy is out of t his world delicious. It has been a few weeks since I got back from Colorado and I miss that taffy so much. It was so fresh and delicious. It simply cannot be beat. With so many flavors, it was too easy to fill a bag full. Flavors ranged from the classics all to more interesting flavors such as huckleberry and molasses. My favorite though was the vanilla bean which actually had real specks of vanilla bean. Oh man, those were so good. Seriously, stop by Purple Mountain. If anything, you get a free piece to try just for coming in. You will leave with a bag though because that one piece will get you hooked. read more

Taffy is tasty, but the last two times we've gone over half of the pieces would stick to the inside of the wrapper. This makes getting the taffy out of the wrapper without them becoming a total monstrosity nearly impossible. Each taffy you have a 50/50 chance of being pleased or frustrated. It's quite a fun game really! :) Try your luck! Or don't... maybe I'm just unlucky. read more

I really wanted to like this taffy! But it is just mediocre/average for me. I will say I prefer taffy that has a bit more "chew" to it. The taffy here is super smooth and easy to chew. So if that's you're thing, you'll probably like it more than I did. The flavor was also a little lacking for me. Staff was very friendly though! read more

When you have that many taffy shops to choose from, service is everything. We went in as a group and my husband started a conversation with the counter help. She was less than friendly. He, being the person he is, tried again to ask her a question about the taffy machine which is for show only and she responded rather rudely about the taffy not being for sale- which has nothing to do with what he asked. There's nothing special about the shop, no great specialty flavors, just bad attitude. read more

Favorite taffy shop in Estes Park and there are ALOT of taffy shops downtown. This store has a lot of delicious flavors from sour to fruity to creamy and chocolaty. The taffy also saves well as I have bought taffy at other stores in town and the taffy becomes hard after a week or so. However, this taffy stays soft fresh and chewy for a long time. I highly recommend trying this shop as they sell small quantities to large quantities and you can mix and match as many flavors as you want. Great present for yourself and others. Honestly, I could go for some right now. read more

Ok, I finally tried it. I put it off because this place looks just a little too "perfect" as an "original" taffy store in a very touristy town.... but I caved in today and tried them out and WOW. I see now that I have never had decent taffy before, and have missed out all these years. The caramel peanut butter and pecan ones are my favorites so far, but I grabbed a bunch of flavors to sample and have only tried a few so far.... But I have tried enough to give them 5 stars already! If you are at all tempted to try them, go ahead and try it. If nothing else, poke your head in and see what they have for the free sample. :) read more

Thank goodness I put a handful of buttered popcorn Taffy in because the black licorice taffy was bland, had very little flavor & not worth the $13 I spent. The buttery popcorn was well flavored & good, soft and delicious tho. As good as it is 10 pieces of good taffy was not worth what I spent! Disappointed that I didn't buy from a different shop.

Some wacky and unique flavors include cheese corn, and peanut corn. It looks like they have about 10 different and unique flavors. Aside from their Caramel Crisp, they have delightful Caramel dipped Apples that are covered in different colored sprinkles and peanuts or simply plain. I think it's also helpful to say that they offer sugar free option candy and salt water taffy. Their bulk candy is weighed and sold between $2.00 and $5.00 depending on the weight. Overall, a really cool candy shop.

It's good, but it didn't strike me as homemade or anything especially memorable. If you're already strolling Grand Avenue, it's worth popping in for a cone. That said, if I'm choosing between the two, I'd walk around the corner to Miyauchi's. Their homemade ice cream just has more flavor and feels like a more unique Grand Lake experience.

Cute candy shop in downtown Estes! Was it pricey? Yes. But what we got was SO GOOD.

Honestly the best thing we ate in Estes park -- picture attached to hopefully show how big it was A peanut butter cup (unsure the flavor) -- also really good but the brownie was far superior

Honestly, Dove or Ghirardelli chocolates from a regular grocery store would have been a better option. Customer service was mediocre--just a quick greeting when we walked in and nothing beyond that. Overall, nothing about the experience stood out, and there are better places in town for truffles. I wouldn't recommend this shop for them.

He's a foodie like his father, so that actually carries weight. The shop itself has a fun, colorful vibe without feeling overdone. About average in size for an Estes Park spot, but the atmosphere makes it feel welcoming and lively. Bonus points: they handed out a sticker of their logo, and it's a high‑quality sticker it was a nice touch. Overall, a great stop for anyone craving really good ice cream and great service from friend staff in Estes Park.

Affogato with redrum was great tho and highly recommend.

Lots of things to see as soon as you enter and your senses will be overloaded because the aroma of chocolates will hit you in a good way!
