Wowwwww. Our family has been telling us about this place for years. We did not have a chance to try some of their candy until this year for our birthdays. Neither photos nor words do justice to how good it is! The truffles, let's just focus on those - they are works of art. Hands down some of the most beautifully made - and delicious - that I have ever had the pleasure of trying. A smooth shiny glass like finish. The cherry one has a little cherry stem coming out the bottom (cute - and informative); the pistachio one has pistachios embedded artistically in the top like a volcano. They are just incredible. We didn't go inside yet as I mentioned our family has been going here for a long time and the way they tell it the service is great. Highly recommend for a quick treat, for a treat to savor for more than just a bite, for gifts, or for yourself. read more

The Candy Shoppe - Candy Stores Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

Best fudge and taffy! Something for everyone. New candy and old favorites too. Mix and match all your favorites.

Purchased a box of nine chocolates to bring back to my office after vacationing in the area. I told the owner I would hand carry the chocolates on a plane and she took extra care to ensure they would arrive safely. I really appreciated the customer service. The chocolates are beautiful and were enjoyed by all! read more

The Candy Shoppe - Candy Stores Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

I just happened to drive by this place on the way home from a work trip and decided to bring some fudge home for *ahem* the kids. This was a cute little mom and pop shop that had homemade fudge of a bunch of different flavors, plus a ton of prepackaged candies. I got 4 bricks of fudge, so got a fifth free, for a total of 1.25 lbs of fudge. Each one I got was soooo good! They were soft and really smooth, and tasted just like they should. The only thing I wish they had was sugarfree fudge or other candies, but they did have sugarfree taffy and licorice, so I made that work. But like I said, the fudge was soo good. Not grainy at all. Really well done. The person who helped me was really nice. read more

Classic candy shoppe vibe with candy in glass jars behind the counter. All types of taffy and licorice and new candy as well. I tried the dark chocolate caramel and the salted caramel - both were delicious. Reasonably priced. read more

Had a wonderful shopping experience at The Candy Shoppe today! It is a lovely shop with an amazing selection of candy and so much more! The fudge is soooo good! The waitstaff is delightful and I will definitely be returning! I love shopping local :) read more

I stumbled upon this place while walking along the streets of old Port Orchard. I should have read the reviews and got the fudge! I got several soft center chocolates - coffee, lemon, raspberry, huckleberry, and lemon. Sounds good, right? But other than the huckleberry the centers had very weak flavor and I wasn't too impressed. Next time I'll be sure to get the fudge or taffy! read more

I am a candy fan. Not just "I like candy", but "you can only find this type of Haribro in these countries" and "I can absolutely tell the difference Nordic, American and Australian licorice" kind of person. This place satisfies my particular sweet tooth :) It has almost everything I can think of, plus I try something new each time and haven't run out of new things to explore! The customer service is excellent. I'm always greeted and offered samples. There is an extensive selection of fudge, but I'm not a fudge person so I haven't tried it (though they always offer a taste). They also have truffles. However there is a chocolate place in town. I haven't (yet) done a shoot-out between the two. Perhaps on a slow weekend... Want cheap boring, generic candy? Go somewhere else. Get your tub of RedVines from Wal*Mart, your boing candy mix from Costco, and wonder why you're bored with the same old stuff. Want something unique? This is your place. It's not cheap, but it's worth it and much better than the SweetFactory type mall stores. read more

The Candy Shoppe - Only part of the awesomeness! - Candy Stores Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

See all

The truffles & fudge were both really good. It's a cool throwback with candy in jars & kitchy gifts you may not find in a lot of places. But the best part was the customer service. The two women who were there when we passed through were so kind and made us feel like old friends. read more

This place is nothing short of a chocoholic's dream. Their fudge, in particular, is to die for. So many flavors and they give samples so you always know you're going to enjoy what you purchase. I am especially fond of the chocolate peanut butter fudge but have tried many of their others and have never been disappointed. read more

The Candy Shoppe - a variety of candies - Candy Stores Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

Variety is the name of the game at Candy Shoppe. They specialize in fudge, but really, if it can be dipped in chocolate, they have it. Wife spotted this place out of the corner of her eye, so we stepped inside to check it out. The store is divided into two sides: Chocolate and Everything Else. But the more you dig, the more treasure you'll find. (Not just referring to the pirate paraphernalia inside). They have a really nice saltwater taffy selection, so we filled up a bag there first. next, I saw some barrels with bags of old-timey root beer candies, so I snatched up some of those. A small corner near the front also has special (possibly) handmade dog treats. We picked up a few for our dog, and she wolfed them down without even tasting them. Grand total was a little over ten dollars. For the amount of stuff we got, not bad at all. The guy behind the counter was very nice as well. Definitely worth a repeat visit. PROTIP: This store also specializes in 'Seagull Plop.' I recommend tasting it before looking at it. read more

This is the best place in Kitsap County to get your sweet treats by far.... And the staff is especially helpful and the fudge is delicioso!!! A hidden gem is that they also carry a fairly large supply of unique games, puzzles, and toys. I have purchased several really neat games there that cannot be found in a regular chain store. read more

I recently placed an order on line for a friend. I did it on a Sunday, fully expecting the order to go out on Monday. But my friend called me and said the gift had just been delivered on Sunday evening. Thank you Candy shoppe for your very personal attention to this. It has been and will continue to be the only place I will get my candy gifts. I just talked to my Mom for whom I purchased candy for her birthday. She loved everything I sent her. read more

Normally we adore this shop and have made special stops during trips just to buy fudge. Unfortunately, our trip today, January 2, 2021, shows that customer service is slipping. They have not been trained in ADA compliance. Tami tried to insist we remove our mobility trained service dog, who was wearing his vest, from the store. My daughter was willing to walk out without her fudge. But after waiting a year, I thanked her for her consideration, but I wasn't going to deny her because of someone's lack of training. Please enlighten your staff on the difference between Emotional Support Animals and trained Service Dogs. We have loved your shop for years. read more

Beautiful day out today, so the family and I went for a walk along the Pt. Orchard waterfront and downtown. As we were passing the Candy Shoppe storefront our oldest daughter stopped dead in her tracks to ogle the goodies inside. With my sweet tooth, it was hard to resist, so we ducked in. This is a really cute "old fashioned" candy shop. They have an extensive selection of taffy, and many different retro candies to choose from. We decided to try their handmade truffles. They have a big selection of flavors with these, too. We ordered a peanut butter, chocolate mint, strawberry cheesecake, salty caramel, and cappuccino truffle. They are a bit pricey at 2.48 each, but definitely worth it. The salty caramel was to die for :) I will definitely bring the girls back here, there is so much to try (including watermelon flavored fudge...yeah crazy!). Owner is very friendly, and they give a ten percent military discount. read more

I went here June 3rd 2017 with 3 of my grandchildren ages 6 12 & 2. 2 year old was in a stroller. A trip to the candy store with grandma should be fun right? It was not. It is a very small store and while trying to navigate the 2 older kids turned a corner and suddenly the owner was shouting at them in front of all the other customers, you kids know better that area is not for the public blah blah blah. They hadnt crossed the threshold to the office area and had no intent to. She was very rude and mean we left without purchasing the items they had selected. Very embarrassing and dissapointing, she handled it very poorly. I don't recommend this as a child friendly store. read more

A little treat in boring ol' downtown Port Orchard. The owner makes her own fudge and she has a bazillion varieties...okay maybe not that many, but there are alot. You can also find dozens of flavors of salt water taffy. She has unique items like the ever so popular Harry Potter Every Flavor Jelly Beans. This is a good trick to play on people. If you set out a bowl of these for your quests, one of them is likely to get a vomit or ear wax flavored bean. The shop is small and the prices are reasonable, that of any specialty candy shop, but the owner is very friendly and is always smiling, so it just makes the trip worth while. read more

Best fudge in town! Great selection of all types of treats and toys. All the girls behind the counter were very welcoming, kind and had great recommendations for the candies. They even gave us a free sample of fudge. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Great little local place! Good place to take people from out of town. They have all kinds of old fashioned candies, and the fudge is awesome! I love the salted caramel fudge! My absolute favorite thing here is the Sinclair Corn (white chocolate popcorn)...It's to die for! read more

Amazing fudge! It was hard to pick which flavors to get, but the favorites so far are the sherbet and rocky road ones. So good! They have endless options of delicious looking chocolate, taffy and themes candy. I tried their bacon bark, and it was amazing! My family and I will definitely be back to try more of their stuff. The staff is helpful and extremely nice. read more

Still the best fudge, I know fudge and this is the best locally I have found, tried one other place in Bremerton which was grainy and cost more, Do yourself a favor and just come here first. read more

Love this little place, the girls here are just as sweet as the fudge they make. The assortment of chocolates, taffy, and candy from when I was a kid make it hard to leave. Try the German chocolate fudge or the cupcake truffle. read more

I stopped by here recently and the service was great! I had an attentive, cute, boy helping me, he seemed to be new since he didn't quite know what all the candies had in them. He gave me a sample of their fudge which was fantastic! I ended up getting some cremes however. While the flavor was good in the creames, the texture inside was a little too dense for me, I wish the cream was fluffier and well, creamier. I'll totally come back in another time to get more of their fudge though and try out something new, there's just so much selection here! read more

Great shop...very tempting to the eye, not to mention the taste buds. I have bought candy and fudge from them over the years. They take time to help you and to find out any information or answer questions you might have. A couple of examples are as follows: One year, I was going to see my relatives in Italy and wanted to bring them an American type of candy. The gals that work behind the counter were very helpful in assisting me with a selection of fudge. They have quite a variety so I was able to choose from a wonderful selection of unique flavors. My relatives really enjoyed the fudge. In addition, I am gluten and dairy intolerant. The gals have been willing to help find out more about what candy options there are for me. My favorites are the gluten free red scotty dog liquorish and red cinnamon gummy bears, along with Guittard's semi-sweet dark chocolate nonpareils. They are also currently waiting to hear back from one of the companies for Jordan Almonds. It is nice to find a place that is willing to do this for their customers. ' read more

The sweetest customer service and amazing selection. I went in a few days ago to talk with the owner about a marketing company I own. I was so impressed with the selection and how incredibly sincere and sweet Sandy is that I brought my husband in a few days later. The story behind the store and the longevity makes this place an anchor and a landmark for Port Orchard. read more

Wonderful shop! Candy, fudge, chocolates, toys for all ages! Great girls behind the counter. Has an old, classic counter store feel. Owner has very good, unique taste in toys. If you need a special, unique gift, look here...games, stuffed dolls and puppets, art's and activity sets, books, lots of fantasy themes and animals. Delightful experience for children and adults. read more

They got candy of all sorts. But their fudge really rocks. So many flavors and so little time. They even have sugar free fudge! Plus the staff there have always been friendly and helpful whenever I have made my way into this place. If you come to downtown Port Orchard this is a must stop. read more

Awesome selection bringing back all those traditions of a good candy store. You need to slowly move about - perhaps looking under the counters to see tastie morsels. read more

I love this candy shop!! If I am looking for a gift for a hard to buy for person, this is where I go. If I'm looking for a game or toys that are neat and different this is also where I go. The employees are helpful, courteous and attentive. They make their own fudge, truffles and so many other sweet treats. There are always samples to try including the fudge! If you're in Port Orchard, you need to stop and check this place out. read more

I am in love with this candy shop, They were more than willing to donate supplies to a community project, they are used to my frantic phone calls when I run out of chocolate at work, or maybe just need advice for a new idea. I will continue to support their small business and be a frequent shopper. read more

We were looking for a good place to grab a sweet treat for the family, and loved the look of this store. Lots of variety. However, as it became crowded my daughter and husband tried to navigate to the other side of store through "the Royal Kitchen," not knowing it was employees only (no sign, no door, nothing- it looked like a demonstration/party room) but realized it was not the way to go and turned back- to which The Queen snapped at them both about trespassing in her kitchen. As we were leaving she even remarked to other customers about my family's ignorance. My husband and daughter meant no disrespect and had no way of knowing they were out of bounds, but her lack of hospitality, understanding and rudeness assured our family left disappointed and with a very bad taste in our mouths. Please mark your kitchen, and study customer service. read more

I would give this place 5 stars because I love that it's a family owned business and I remember when it first opened. I think the shop is cute but the staff is HORRIBLE! Went in the store today with my husband and daughter , unaware the store was closing in about 7 minutes, one of the girls working rudely stated "we are closing" ... We felt very unwelcome and unsure if we should leave then or if we could still look around as there was a customer already in there. ( if I was her , I would take the business more seriously .. Maybe let us know they are closing soon and they are going to start closing down , but maybe take our time and have a look... Just my option for a good business ) So we quickly looked around , and found a few sweets we wanted. The girl behind the counter didn't help us and actually asked the other girl working (from across the room) to come get the sweets off the shelf instead.... The worst service I've ever seen. read more

Great selection of chocolate fudge, salted caramel, truffles, haystacks, taffy, etc. Also friendly and helpful staff. No snickers fudge though °~° read more

My husband and I love this place! They have all kinds of unique fudge flavors so far our favorites are cupcake, spumoni, and strawberry cheesecake. We also love their mini truffles and get them for out of town friends all the time. We have also tried their salted caramel balls and chocolate covered gummy bears. Everything is so fresh and amazing! Plus the staff is always really friendly! We will be long time costumers! read more

My wife and I stopped in, on her recommendation (she loves the dark chocolate salt caramel) -- but this time to explore sugar-free alternatives. Although that didn't really pan out (what do you expect, it's a SWEETS shop), we were enthralled with the selection and friendly service. read more

Great candy and super cute shop! I don't think most of Port Orchard knows this is down here. Something this nice and fun (tons of toys, novelty items and TONS of different kinds of candies) is usually found in more tourist towns like Cannon Beach! However, the customer service left me so angry I almost wrote the review on my phone outside the store. When we got to the store, I checked the door and all the windows for their pet policy. Not only is there NOT a sign that says "no dogs allowed", but they had a dog water bowl outside the door with their logo on it. I thought, Great, they love dogs! I couldn't be more wrong. I brought my tiny little dog in and started browsing the aisles with my husband and two children. After a few minutes, a rude man came out of the back and demanded to know if my little dog was a "service animal". I told him I looked for a sign and he interrupted with the same question, this time louder and more stern. Then he said "May I help you????" to my husband in a tone of voice that we knew meant "please leave now". The whole time never smiling. We were shocked and just looked at each other with jaws open. This was a special outing that our kids earned and they had looked forward to going to the candy store for weeks. I wish we could have experienced the "great customer service" the owner apparently has according the rest of these reviews. We will probably go back again and hopefully next time we won't break any unwritten rules. read more

The candy and everything is great but i think that the overall attitude of the manager should change. i heard 3 people quit on her in a month from a friend of mine which makes me think maybe something should change. read more

BEWARE OF BUYING TOYS HERE!!! They have good candy but I will never purchase toys here! My aunt got my kids toys at Christmas that they wanted to exchange for something different. When my aunt returned with the unopened toys, store tags still intact and receipt, they would not give a refund. My aunt said she'd bring the kids in and have them pick something different for a store exchange but the store said they do not even give EXCHANGES! This is the worst business practice I've heard of! I'm absolutely amazed! I asked where this policy is posted for No Returns, No Refunds, NO Exchanges. It was posted at the CANDY counter, not at the TOY counter where toys are purchased! It needs to be well displayed that ALL SALES ARE FINAL!!! This store should be happy I don't live in the area because I would be standing outside with a sign warning anyone about purchasing toys there. However, my aunt is a "socialite" in the area and will be sure to let everyone she knows of this policy and educate unaware customers when she's in for a candy purchase. read more
