I needed a little chocolate after a lovely dinner and we were walking past The Fudgery so I decided to bop in. So many options to choose from. I asked for a sea salt caramel which they didn't have but they did have sea salt peanut butter cups. While sea salt caramels are my go to, I opted to try the peanut butter version. I'm not sure what it is about chocolate and sea salt but replacing caramel with peanut butter was not a concern. It was so good. I got it on a napkin so I could eat as we walked back to our hotel. I suspect I'll be back there trying another bit of chocolate before we leave here. read more

So many fun fudge flavours to choose from, matcha to birthday cake as well as other delicious chocolate desserts. This store is also so cool because you can see them make the fudge in front of you which is so cool. We got the classic chocolate fudge which was delicious, definitely will have to try some of the crazier flavours next time I visit. read more

Customer service: 5 Location: 5 Affordability: 5 Cleanliness: 5 We visited this small shop yesterday while we were sightseeing the small town of Banff, Canada. This shop was conveniently located in the pedestrian area, so we had to walk to it. There is street and garage parking nearby, so that was no issue for us. Upon entering the shop, we were quickly greeted by two staff employees. The young lady was very friendly and helpful. She was very patient with us, as we tried to narrow down our selections. This shop offers a wide variety of sweet treats, so be ready to spend some money. @glampedlife read more

I was told one thing I needed to try in Canada was maple fudge, so I went to the first place I saw that sold it. This is a small place but has an almost overwhelming number of options. The employees were very helpful and patient while we were trying samples and choosing our sweets. We went with a piece of maple fudge and maple walnut fudge. The fudge is definitely softer than I was expecting, even after a few days it's still pliable. It's also smooth and not grainy, which I find is a large problem when it comes to fudge. The maple flavor is strong and the fudge is quite sweet, but that's expected since it's a dessert made of mostly sugar. I think this is a great place to stop by for a sweet treat if you like more decadent desserts over the other candy shops down the street. read more

The Fudgery - Maple fudge, maple walnut fudge - Candy Stores Near Me - Banff, Alberta

There are many sweet shops along Banff Avenue and this one is the one to go to for no-frills with a HUGE variety of sweets, a lot of which are significantly cheaper than some other locations. It doesn't have the charm or huge candy collection of wrapped candy or charm of, for example, Banff Sweet Shoppe. But if you're looking for the kind of treats that need to be kept inside display cases, they have EVERYTHING. I was mainly looking to try some of the dipped apples and they actually had a full assortment here! I love what I got here and regret not also trying their matcha fudge lol. For those not Canadian, the dipped apples that are covered in what looks like M&Ms are actually covered in Smarties. Basically, Canadian M&Ms (still made by Nestle) but with a crunchier shell and a slightly different taste. There were also apples dipped in smashed Skor candy, which is a kind of butter toffee, and the Skor apple was AMAZING. Of all the sweets shops, I think this one is the absolute best when it comes to location, because it's in the center of all the restaurants and gift shops. The absolute closest parking (besides the minimal street parking when the road isn't blocked off) is the Bear Street Parking Lot. It's an open parking lot that (like the street parking) has an hourly rate of $3 per hour from 8 AM to 8 PM. If you manage to park there, you can cut through Park Avenue Mall (that backdoor is at the southeast corner of the lot) to Banff Avenue. The other main parking area is the Bear Street Parkade. Its first floor has the same hourly rate as the second floor up is completely free. For the most part, we used the parkade and the only drawback is that so do most people. Be sure to check the counter they have at the entrance for if there are still spaces available on the upper floors. Overall, I think we're going to come back to Banff at some point and I definitely have this spot marked out as a go-to. These were the kinds of treats that are great for taking along with you on outdoor adventures (side eyes Banff National Park). Maybe not the apples so much as all the fudges, the nutty and chocolatey treats, clusters and chews and brittles, etc. Next time, I would like the try their maple stuff, Icefields, Glaciers, Mountains, Bear Paws, Snails, and just...ALL OF THAT. There was just so much that looked SO GOOD! Would recommend. read more

This review is only for the caramel apples because that's all I ate. But I had three different ones and the were so good!!! And affordable ($5.95 each). They'll also kindly cut it for you if you ask! The salted caramel one and the door one are so damn good. The skor apple is basically a caramel apple with bits of toffee all around it too. Just looking at it gave me a cavity lol! Worth it! The apples themselves are fresh and crunchy! read more

Candy shops were poppin this weekend. Went to the Fudgery and they have a good selection of treats! And they tasted amazing. I got some bear paws and fudge and they were great. Only giving them 4 stars because it was a little pricey but I imagine that's the same for all places like this in Banff. I would definitely recommend and go back for some more noms. read more

Got the chocolate walnut fudge. It hit the sweet spot but wasn't too sweet. There were plenty of different fudge options including with fruit. Fresh fudge was being made on site. read more

5 stars because they were so nice to us... we ordered one scoop of ice cream in the nut coated waffle cone. Paid for it. Eat a bite... little did we know it's coated with peanuts.... didn't like it.. so went back and wanted to buy a regular waffle cone.. Took out our card to pay for the waffle cone and asked them to transfer the ice cream into it... They, however, not only transferred it but also gave us CAD 2 back - because the regular waffle cone is cheaper than the peanut coated one The salted caramel ice cream is yummy! So is the pralines and cream one and the raspberry one. Yum yum yum read more

I had high hopes but the flavors we bought, plain chocolate and vanilla cookies and cream, were just average. The store was clean and it was fun to watch them make the fudge, but it didn't "wow" me or my family. read more

If you like fudge this is the place. Pricy but so what- it's Banff. Seasalt carmel fudge was outstanding! Often very busy shop. Street parking. Friendly service. Restrooms in lower level of this litlle shopping mall. read more

We walked by this shop as they were making fudge. Oh my, it smelled like heaven. A couple of days later, we stopped to pick up a piece of fudge and a couple of other treats. Aside from the fudge, we got peanut butter chocolates. After paying, I bit into one of the peanut butter treats and there was NO peanut butter. It was chocolate with a few bits of peanuts. I asked the guy if he gave me the right candy and he said, "yes, this is their version on peanut butter." What the heck???? The fudge was okay. read more

Bait and Switch...it's $3.95 for 100 grams of fudge but they only sell in chunks of 250 grams. Why not just price the damn things for the smallest size you sell them in, 250 grams? Annoying... read more

Review #23 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012 I remember coming here when I was younger every time I visited Banff. It seems they still have the exact same giant sized rich chocolates for sale! The fudge seems to have some seasonal variety, but I had never tried it. Fudge is just too rich for me. I have had the giant turtles and the peanut butter squares and they were delicious. I only wish they had some dairy free items. Even their dark chocolate has dairy in it they told me. So as I'm vegan not so vegan friendly for me. Still yummy to look at or get a treat for someone else. Make sure you start out small because it's $3.95/100 g and so each piece of chocolate can end up being around $3-5 so it can add up quickly! read more

I am a fudge snob...and this was excellent fudge. Son got the chocolate marshmallow and I got chocolate walnut. Saran wrapping individual slices made it super moist (I hate dry fudge). Great job! read more

Service was okay (they didn't know how to swipe my credit card and didn't take American Express), however what gives this 5/5 stars is the salted caramel. Get the salted caramel... it is so good it will make you take your clothes off. read more

I chose 2 kinds of fudge to bring home to my husband. Both delish! One was maple walnut...a tad sweet for me, but great maple flavor & crunchy walnuts. Salted caramel fudge was excellent. Flakes of crunchy sea salt is the perfect counterpoint to the caramelly fudge. I wish I had bought 10 pounds. read more

The Fudgery.....geez, the name itself makes my mouth water!!! The Fudgery is located on the main street in Sundance Mall on Banff Avenue, in...of course Banff, AB. Pondering the street, you'll just know it's the Fudgery because in the window display, they are churning the chocolate, rolling out fresh fudge on the marble table, dipping chocolate with chocolate....plus there's a sign "The Fudgery - handmade treats" right in front of the building.. :P The Fudgery is a MUST VISIT place for anyone who is visiting Banff. It's a place you just can't walk by, but HAVE to go in. They specialize in handmade chocolates and treats... fudge, candy apples, bears paws, chocolate truffles, brittles and much much more!!! They have a large display of goodies..so much you'll be salivating until you finally buy some and have a taste of the handmade goodness. How it works is, you go and admire the display of chocolate, peanut, marshmallow, fudgey heaven goodness and when you fiiiiiinally decide what you want you tell the person working and they'll put everything you want on a tray and weigh it. *NOTE: The treats are pretty pricey!!*(sometimes they'll tell you the price range of the treats just so you won't be surprised when you pay) they then tell you the price and put all your goodies in a plastic bag. No pretty wrapping (unless you buy a gift box or something), just a plain plastic bag with their logo. From my personal experience, it's always great. Someone will always be there to take your order and help you out if you don't know what's in their treats. Their fudge is the best ...anywhere! Smoooooth, silky, melt in your mouth MMM! My definite favorite is the "peanut butter cups" they are actually squares but they call them cups. They are filled with a smooth peanut chocolate center with tiny peanut pieces and topped with two reeses pieces...they are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! I know a popular treat is the "bear paws" which is pure chocolate, cashews and caramel. They're great as well. Really...anything there is tasty and delicious. Yes the prices are a pretty high but really....how often do you go to Banff and how often do you have delicious handmade treats made with all the chocolate love in the world??...thought so ;) read more

Been here a few times, and the Fudgery never disappoints. There's usually free samples in the front, and it's always delicious. Any of their freshly-made fudges are exceptional, my favourite is Cookies and Cream. Their marshmallow-nut logs are awesome too! A little expensive but definitely worth it! Great candy shop in Banff! read more

One of my brother told me, before my arriving to Banff, to go to The Fudgery. The reason, I tought, was obvious (he had worked there about 15 years ago). And looking on yelp and foursquare, there were better critics for the chocolate place and the candy shop about five minutes of walk from there but the reason that was resurging was the high cost of the delicaties of The Fudgery (which is a fact...BUT). I was sceptic at first, but he insisted that I pass by and order a "pecan dip log". That was pretty specific and because he knows my likes I décided to give it a try (YOLO as the teenagers are saying). At first, I tought 8$ was a bit pricey for this , but once I got my coffee from Evelyn's coffee house nearby and took my first bite I discovered at my surprise that this is not only pecan and chocolate. It's in fact a homemade marshmallow dipped in toffee caramel, dipped in nuts (pecans OR cashews), dipped in chocolate, with another drizzle of chocolate on top, served on a stick. It's not fancy or anything, but it's a really good thing I don't live in Banff because I'd be fat as helĺ. ^___^ read more

The candies were fine but the customer service was bad. I was here in March and I bought a box full or chocolate pretzels about 500 grams. The staff tried to put it all in a plastic grocery bag. I was buying the chocolate pretzels as a gift and want it to looks presentable. However, the staff was discouraging the use of the box as the pretzels would break. I told them I will take my chance because I just can't give it as a gift in a grocery bag that doesn't close. Then another staff came over and rudely jest about my request. Then he asked me for a some pretzel to eat and he keep asking me for it. So I said "sure - have one" (since they already gave me one to taste). Then he didn't and he started assisting putting the chocolate pretzel in a box. He couldn't fit one and then he just threw it away. I could have bought the chocolate pretzels from somewhere else, but thought I support this store because it has history. read more

Ice cream was so gross I spit it out and got a few peppermint chocolate sticks and threw them away. Don't waist your money here like I did. So gross. read more

Love the fudge and sweets! Always a hit with the kids whenever we stop through Banff.

I had the oreo fudge at the Fudgery: big disappointment... It was NOT fudge, but plain old sugar fondant...

There were two places to lineup but apparently only one person helping customers (and two working on making things). I waited for a long time in one lineup, and when it appeared to be my turn I ordered my single item. Instead of ringing it up, which would have only taken a moment, the cashier told me to wait a moment and went to help the large line on the other side, including people who definitely lined up long after I did. It would have been so quick and simple for her to ring me through before moving to that line, but she opted not to. Terrible customer service. I walked out without buying anything after that nonsense. Don't recommend. Maybe the treats are good if anyone ever helps you! read more

Honestly, I was a little bummed with the cost-for-quality at this store during my latest visit. It just seems unreasonable that two blocks of fudge would cost $18! Store is small and staff were helpful but didn't really go above and beyond. The only real draw is getting a picture with the giant stuffed bear at the front door. Skip it! read more

For a wide selection of handmade confections, this place cannot be beat. Add to this the giant stuffed bear and the charm of seeing candies made all day long in the storefront window and it's a winning formula for a tourists young and young at heart. The caramel is excellent here, but the chocolate is underwhelming for the price (I prefer Rocky Mountain down the road), so on balance it gets 3.5 stars. read more

A good selection and they had samples which is always a win in my book. We tried a chocolate coconut ball. Delish.

I tried several of the fudge shops in Banff and this was one of my favorites. They had unusual flavors, which I loved. The fudge I got was fresh, smooth and delicious. read more

** SCAM ** Be aware of the tactics that the staff use to 'weigh' your order. The scales are placed near the cash register with lots of clutter around them. When the fudge is placed on the scale additional items (like a candy scoop) are also 'accidently' placed onto the scale to increase the weight. read more

Super disappointing! Used to be better. Quality is just not there anymore! We have been stopping at this little fudge shop on Banff Ave for as long as I can remember, 20+ years! The smell is divine and the selection of fudge flavours is amazing, but the quality has definitely declined over the years. On our most recent visit I purchased a small block of maple fudge which cost around $9. We immediately opened the fudge and noticed it was super sticky and soft. The fudge was so sticky that it was difficult to remove the plastic wrap. It was impossible to break pieces off and it was obvious that the fudge was not properly set. I wrapped the fudge back up to take home and the next day I took it out and it had further deteriorated into a gooey sticky mess (like when you leave silly putty to sit). It was obvious that the fudge was improperly prepared and for the price I would expect better quality control, especially since fudge is their "specialty". read more

A friend told me that I had to try The Fudgery when I was in Banff. Being a big chocolate lover, I was excited to see what they had. When I entered, all eyes were on me. I felt so welcomed. One Asian fellow greeted me with a smile on his face and told me to take my time. First impression was great. As I was deciding what to get, it got quite busy inside the store. There were probably 4 employees trying to deal with the onslaught of customers. When I was ready, the Asian fellow recognized that I was ready and ran up to help. Great customer service. He helped me pick out what I wanted and pay for everything in a jiff, all the while looking like this was fun. It's hard to receive customer service like that, these days. I paid and left. I ate a few chocolates outside the store and decided to get more. This time I was served by a french man. It took me awhile to get his attention. He was too busy looking at his phone to even notice me. When I finally had his attention, I asked him for assistance. He got up reluctantly but got up to help nonetheless. His customer service was the complete opposite of what I experienced. It seemed as though as he didn't want to be there and he made it very apparent. Even when helping me, he was talking to the other employees and cackling at his racist and sexist jokes aimed at the employees as well as the customers. Very rude. It was as though he wasn't taught any manners, whatsoever. When it came time to pay, he threw down the trays on the scale, got angry that I didn't realize that the card machine was touch screen. When I was signing the merchant copy, he asked if I wanted my receipt. Before I could answer, he answered his own question, "No", took the signed copy and sent me on my way. When I asked for my receipt, he said it was too late and walked away from me. I would've given them a 5 star review if it hadn't been for this employee. read more
