I can never resist an apple from here whenever I'm in the area. The Pecan Bear, Peanut Bear and Almond Bear are always such a sweet treat! 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. read more

$4.75 for the lemon truffle. Thick, hard chocolate shell, not great flavors. Overpriced Colorado chocolate designed to be display stable instead of focusing on great taste. Absolutely worthless. read more

The Almond Bear candy apple was amazing! as well as the fruit flavored durango delights! reasonably priced and friendly service. if youve ever seen Narnia and wanted to try Turkish delights, these look and taste even better. ( fruit squares) theyre sold individually for 1.25 each out of 3 flavors, would come again read more

Apples are good but Carmel coating is thin! Wish the Carmel coating was thicker! Apples are always fresh and crisp. Nuts are fresh.

This used to my my favorite shop as a child I came in today looking for a caramel apple just like I used to taste. I asked them when's the last time you made the caramel apples they told me Friday today is Sunday... I asked how about the fudge the worker said it's no older than a week ago. I will come back when workers who care about their job are here. read more

They have sugar free sweets ! I got the sugar free milk chocolate toffee and it taste delicious, you can't even tell the difference. Customer service lack read more

I visited the Monterey, California store today. The service was mediocre, but more than that, there was a problem with hygiene. This store is reusing the plastic sheets used as a barrier to pick up product. There was a mound of crumpled sheets on top of the box that dispensed them. The employee grabbed one on top, got the items I requested, and then put the sheet back on the pile. The employees just grab a sheet and reuse it. There are several problems with this. The first being that no one was washing hands between handling money and grabbing a protective sheet. There is no telling which side of the used protective sheet had the previous user's hand touching it. This also lends itself to cross contamination between guests orders. A guest who was with sensitivities or allergies now has possible contamination from a previous guest's order. This is absolutely appalling. read more

The chocolate here is worth the price. Excellent quality and service is always friendly

This place is always running out stuff, which is a good sign. The candy is ok to good. The staff can vary from disinterested teen to happy to serve you teen. I come for the frozen bananas. read more

The woman working there was wearing gloves and helped a customer checkout with cash. She handled the cash and went right back to making the food. Disgusting and not ok. We walked out. read more

We frequented this location a lot when our kids were younger. It was always packed and had lots of options. The last few times we have been there, no one is there (red flag) and choices are minimal. The shelves and cases aren't even fully stocked. They no longer serve a variety of fudges, as well as some other favorites other shops still have. I stopped ordering for myself some time ago, but my husband continues to be hopeful they will get better since he loves caramel apples. August 8 was the fourth time in recent history he ordered a caramel apple and it was not good. On two occasions it was because the apples were old and mealy; the other two times the caramel was sliding off - he said it reminded him of a bad attempt at making them at home. The icing on the cake for me is their attitude - they always exhibit an attitude of not caring about the customers, and if you ask a question they respond in a belittling manner. Yet another favorite place of ours that has gone so far downhill, we can no longer support their business. read more

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory [IN A NUTSHELL] caramel apple, chocolates, sweets [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] A good place to get chocolate. But I was recommended this place for the caramel apple and it did not disappoint. They have a lot of selection of caramel apple flavors and other assortments of sweets. I would come here to try the other caramel apples but the sweets looked delicious. [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.75/5 * Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Apple $9 (3.75/5) -This was a good caramel apple. I can never justify paying so much for an apple, but this was a good one. I wouldn't get this one (they have less expensive one) or maybe try the other options of caramel apple. But they also slice it up for you so it was great to split and have apple slices. The sea salt was a great addition to the caramel apple. It was also surprisingly not that sweet and that may be due to the dark chocolate. [TIME STAMP] MAY 21, 2021 read more

Rocky road is my favorite. I come from San jose ca for those things.. Service is excellent. Very polite,positive n friendly

I am SO disappointed with how I have to drive all the way to this location from San Jose! I love Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory! Unfortunately this shop is no longer in San Jose or Milpitas. I believe the shelter in place is to blame because they were doing so good before Covid-19. The Candy Apples are my absolute favorite! I love all of the variety they have, but I must say the Oreo Cookie (Worms and Dirt) apple is my all time favorite! I would like to thank the staff here for being so friendly and kind! I had fun looking around and it was nice to to be acknowledged. I hope the owner will think about opening a location in San Jose because I would go there at least twice a week and I know many other people will love the candy apples and other chocolates this shop has to offer. read more

When visiting Cannery Row, there are several businesses that require regular patronage from tourists and locals alike. This chocolate shop chain is one of my priority stops whenever we happen across one during our travels. This place just draws me in the minute Joe K and I look into their windows! The beautiful and tempting displays of all things chocolaty will demand your attention! They have every type of chocolate coated sweets that you can think of from fruits to nuts. Outstanding caramel apples, truffles, fudge, milk chocolates, white chocolates, and dark chocolates in a variety of choices from hard, soft and melt in your mouth candies. One of my favorites are the chocolate dipped frozen cheese cakes on a stick! If you ever have dinner at one of the many places in Monterey, make sure you save room for one of these deliciously rich cheese cakes! My sister and I discovered this many years ago, and now I have been hooked on them ever since! It's hard to believe that there are people out in this world that don't like chocolate! Fortunately for me, I'm not one of them! read more

Hello, I just stopped by after dinner for something sweet and unfortunately the two girls were extremely bothered by our presence. No welcome in or can we help you find anything. I love the chocolate here but unfortunately as I asked for two items, it was as if I was disturbing the girls behind the counter. I asked for a raspberry truffle and a s'more type of chocolate. Both times It was if I was bothering the girls and may I add no smile no nothing. So ashamed of there response. This was around 7:05pm no one else was in the store but my partner and I. It was if I had walked in begging for these items to be free. What happened to common curtesy? Please understand this is still very important. It costs nothing to smile, if you hate your job please stay home. The small gestures of simply welcoming customers in is still valued. This new generation needs a 101 class on understanding they are the first face we see and as a paying customer and one not working for free should at least fake a welcome in. read more

This place is good, it really is. They always have fresh product. I'm giving 2 stars because they added an extra charge without telling us. We bought 2 apples which we don't get cut since we like to take them home to enjoy. They always put them in a small white bag for take out. THEY CHARGE 25 CENTS PER BAG. I think that is insane! A regular sized bag from a grocery store is 10 cents. This SMALL white bag is 25 cents. I also consider this place to be take out, food service, etc so why are they charging for bags? That's like McDonald's or Applebee's charging for bags. The fact that they also don't say anything until after they put your items in the bag. What am I supposed to do...carry around a bare apple while walking around Cannery Row? We had to buy the bags anyways since we don't randomly carry small paper bags in our purses. Next time we will bring our own bag or container. They already charge around $9 an apple so why can't the bag be free? It's not even fancy, reusable, or have their name printed on it. I understand smaller businesses are suffering but, come on! read more

I like going here because of the sugar-free peanut butter cups they sell, plus a nice selection of other sugar-free treats.

Over priced chocolate that is not good please don't spend your money here, better off going to the Ghirardelli store.

A must pit stop before heading back home from a fun-filled day in Monterey. They allow only 1 family/household inside at a time so there's definitely a line outside but it's worth it! Since my mom is now allergic to peanuts, we opted for the caramel & almond covered apple and I found my new favorite! It's tempting to pick the other flavors like cheesecake, rocky road, etc. but this combo (to me) is a classic and you don't feel as guilty indulging the entire thing by yourself. With so many other dessert options in Cannery Row, I'd say this is a winner! read more

Bad customer service, but yummy treats. Girls that work there were rude. No greeting when we walked in and had a bad attitude as we were leaving. She looked super annoyed when we asked for an extra bag. The other girl wasn't consistent and only told some people to leave due to capacity. Wonder what her criteria was. Hmm. read more

The sugar-free raspberry chocolate truffles are the pinnacle of the Rocky Mountain chocolate factory. I actually got the rice krispy treat; my friend got the truffles. She loved it so much that she went back for another. For the rest of the day, the truffles could not leave her mind. That says a lot, as she has very high chocolate/fruit dessert standards. You should definitely try them out. read more

Hi hello, before I decided to order I asked how fresh their apples where he said made daily!!!! I bought 6 candy apples the salesperson was 1st not weary gloves while getting my Apples, he offered me a box to take out. However when I got home and gave my kids their candy apples unfortunately 2 apples were with mold inside where the wood stick is inserted. Eww read more

Came to visit this place I've been coming to since I was a kid for some of the delicious fudge varieties only to come in and see the store half empty with little to no options of anything other than truffle type chocolates. Very disappointing. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but it felt like it was going out of business :( read more

EXPENSIVE and STALE. I don't understand the good reviews for this place. I was visiting Monterey with our family and we researched where to find the best fudge (as there are many candy stores in the area). We relied on Yelp reviews to try this place and paid $14 for two squares of fudge that were barely two inches by two inches. We brought the fudge home only to find them both to be stale (on the same day we bought them), so we threw them away. Ick. What a waste of time and money. read more

I have to admit, I absolutely love Dark Chocolate! Now mix in an array of nuts, honey, fruit and marshmallows, I am on cloud 9 and in chocolate heaven! When you walk in you first smell the savory sweet nectar of all the goodness in the store. The placement of their caramel and chocolate dipped apples are right in the front, screaming "buy me, eat me but do not worry about the cavities" haha. My absolute favorite is the counter with the chocolates. Milk chocolate and Dark chocolates. Oh my....so many to choose from. Normally I would have went for chocolate covered almonds and or the crunchy toffee, but I went with the Dark Chocolate Rocky Road chunk. It was soft, delicious, and everything you want in a rocky road chocolate chunk! read more

A classic Monterey experience that you must see if you are in the area... and if you like sweets. If you're on the "aroma diet" you will be pleased to know that you will quickly fill up in this sweet-smelling place. Just a few minutes and you will feel quite full! The classic experience is watching them smoosh together their chocolate in semi-liquid form in a giant vat- conveniently placed next to the window. Bystanders young and old watch in reverence as chocolate is born. They have a great candy apple selection! And candied other fruits too. Lots of variations in the dipping substrate as well as toppings used. Also a great selection of truffles... and random bits of sweet bark... and, and, and just about every other kind of super random sweet thing. Even... candy-dipped marshmallows! Wowza. There's no taffy or packaged candy. This is all "top end" sweets. Not cheap, but always worth it and with a consistent quality that is very good. This is a very small shop and their selection isn't enormous, objectively speaking. However for their size, they impress... and are definitely worth a quick gander (and a slow nibble). read more

I wasn't impressed by their chocolate truffles. We got 6 different flavors and I wasn't satisfied with any of them. They are very overpriced. The only thing I would come back here for was an apple. The employees do not seem to like their jobs. No effort to put a smile on their faces but they weren't unfriendly. More of a quickly come in and get out vibe. read more

Lovely place to get your chocolate fix while strolling on cannery row. They are open unto 10pm so tourists can eat in downtown restaurants & come here later for a sweet treat while strolling on the waterfront. My kids ordered the Oreo covered candy apple & chocolate caramel apple. Both were delicious, but I preferred the chocolate caramel one. The great thing was they offered to cut the apple into wedges so it was easy to eat & share. We also bought assorted truffles with one of them being a sugar free variety, which was just as delicious. The peppermint bark was superb! Check out the pics of the store below. I give this place 5 stars. read more
