My friend and I stopped by, but no one was there. We waited for about 5 minutes and decided to leave instead of waiting. We walked around the mall a bit and came back later to see if someone was working. Luckily, there was. The prices are definitely above average for the items in store. For the three items purchased it was around $31. I purchased one turtle and it was super salty (5/10). The m&m rice krispy treat was covered in chocolate, but overall pretty good (8/10). If you aren't a super chocolate fan, you might want to stay away. The caramel candy apple was pretty good as well - can't really mess that up! (9/10). read more

Worst service ever. This person sold us a rotten apple and we couldn't return it. Their response was "yea, people have been complaining lately but there's nothing we can do about it because it's an apple." Excuse me? Why even sell them then. The apple was mushy and tasted old and sour (not Apple sour, expired sour). The issue could've been fixed by getting my money back and definitely by keeping the additional information of people complaining lately AFTER I bought it. Angela long is the manager that didn't respond when I reached out and Anahi is the cashier that was rude. read more

The Fudgery - Turtles? - Candy Stores Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Nastiest apples they are rotten and bitter do not recommend especially for the price you're paying.

This place is a little slice of magic inside of an outlet mall, why? Because when you walk by you are blinded by large pieces of fudge, chocolate covered pretzels, ice cream, and of course the things that I ended up ordering which was a giant rice crispy treat covered in sprinkles and chocolate and 2 large marshmallows with a stick through it and it was covered in mini m&m's......did I just die and go to heaven? Because that's kind of what it felt like to stop by The Fudgery. Not only was the treats I ordered absolutely delicious (because they totally were) but the staff was super friendly and even gave my friend a price of fudge as a sample. I would definitely recommend anyone in the area or at the mall check this place out because you'll find some delicious treats! read more

I don't understand the hype. I love fudge but this place is seriously overpriced. $10 for a piece of fudge blows my mind. It's good but not $10 good. The service is awful, with employees more concerned about chatting with each other than assisting customers. read more

The fudge was a little pricey, but they did have a special where you could Buy 3 and get 1 Free. They were very busy but the cashier was very patient and the Mississippi Mud tasted great as always. read more

This place is as I remembered, the workers sing as they play around with the fudge and put on a show for you. They're really friendly and nice. It's kinda sad since the business is so slow, but they're still making the fudge. Come by and try a sample if you want something other than pralines. read more

Friendly staff and lots of delicious sweets! They make the fudge on site and has many flavors. Feel free to ask for samples and they'll gladly oblige. It's about $10 per slice which is about 1/2 pound each. May not look like much but it IS fudge so alittle goes a long way. It's thick and creamy and an excellent snack with coffee. Take some outside to the eating area and sit and relax, watch the boats go by on the river. read more

The Fudgery - a display case filled with pastries - Candy Stores Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I want to give a HUGE shout out to Lynda. She's the reason why we purchased food her and she's the reason why we came to fall in love The Fudgery. Lynda is one of those grandmothers with so much energy and love that is to be shared to the world. Thank you for the great treats while being at the Riverwalk! read more

This is my first review ever. Started with this young lady that served us acting very put out and dismissive when my 3 young kids were ordering their ice cream of choice. After she scooped their selection and placed on the counter, my wife and I, as is normal, began distributing to the kids. When I went to pay she started berating my wife for touching them before she was ready. My wife apologized, but this lady couldn't let it go. I asked if I could just pay and move on, she walked away and said she wouldn't serve "these people". Whatever that meant. She called another gentlemen to check us out. Should've probably walked away without purchasing, but it wasn't the kids fault and they just wanted ice cream. Beware of the service here. read more

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME. The Fudgery in the Riverside NOLA Outlet next to the Hilton NOLA Riverside was a new treat for me personally. When I went to look at the goodies that they had to offer I wanted a particular type of candy apple, once again touching on my 'inner child.' To see what that story is about check out my review on the Popcorn Bistro. What was a blessing and displayed an essence of true customer service was how the ladies: Kristeon Joseph and Simmeon Bazile went the extra mile and create a candy apple created especially for me. I was SOOOO ELATED! My inner child was CHEEZZING that others wanted to see why I was SO HAPPY and was slowing down to take a peak as well. I can't wait to taste the deliciousness of the candy apple. I had Carmel, almonds with a drizzle of chocolate which was their special touch added. I am at such a sugar rush with having had the beignets yesterday that I MUST PACE MYSELF! Ok NOLA now I need to go home and go back on my programmed eating because you fulfilled my 'inner child' desires. Thanks and see you again soon. read more

I wish I could recommend but we stood at the counter waiting to be helped for 10 minutes while the girl working there played on her phone in the corner. Bad part is, she actually looked up 3 times and made eye contact but would not help us. Screw that, these people working just act like you are inconveniencing them when you try to make a purchase. Don't need fudge that bad. read more

I'm not sure if it was specifically The Fudgery, but when I was a kid me and my parents used to come to The Riverwalk and they would buy me fudge as a treat. When I saw this fudge shop I was really excited to get a slice of rocky road fudge and relive my childhood. The fudge is just as I remember it: nice and thick with pieces of marshmallow and nuts in it. A slice costs around $10, but I do feel like that's a deal for the amount you get. I like to cut off a piece and enjoy it with my coffee, so it lasts longer. They have a lot of different flavors to choose from and they have ice cream at this location as well. I don't know if it's a regular thing, but when we bought one slice they offered us a free slice with the purchase of a second slice. We didn't take them up on the offer, but that seems like a deal if you want a few different flavors. read more

This location is inside a mall. They were not very organized and several shoppers totally blocked the service line as they tried a bunch of samples. Made for a poor experience for everyone else. This is partially due to the layout of this location. Nothing special here and we were sorry we wasted our time going. read more

We were here late night. Keep it simple. *clean establishment *reasonable pricing *excellent selection and delicious *friendly staff We got here late night. The staff was very kind and personable. Especially with us coming late night. They didn't hesitate to offer good service. So , if you are in the mall and looking for good fudge type goodies, I would recommend this spot for sure. Good snacks, good service, and decent prices. read more

If you love sweets this is the perfect place for you. They have just about anything sweet you can think of, apples, marshmallows, pretzels and you can try samples of the fudge. I got a chocolate covered Apple, and it was amazing!!! I would definitely go back here if I visited! read more

The Fudgery. Pretty much a cliche candy shop with all the great awesome sweets you can think of to lure in the French Quarter Tourists. When I first walked in, I was greeted with a free sample of fudge; Tasted pretty awesome. I'm not picky about flavors so anything is pretty much good to me. I was pretty impressed with amount of fudge assortments as well as Candied Apple assortments. I was also intrigued by the gentleman in the back showing and making a slab of fudge. The only complaint I have about this place is that it's ridiculously expensive. I only got two half pound slabs of Fudge and an ice cream for $30. read more

We had a great time there. They were very friendly. I guess it is all the great fudge they are making going to their heads, because they are lovely. The fudge is the best I have ever had. We bought 8 bars! One of almost every flavor. We read more

The Fudgery - It was a friendly atmosphere. - Candy Stores Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Had a conflicted experience at The Fudgery. We went to this location twice during our trip to New Orleans. We went back because the first time we had a wonderful experience with the kindness of the workers and the quality of the ice cream. HOWEVER The second time we came back it was because I saw that they had smoothies and I was in the mood for something fruity. There sign says "made with 100% real fruit." I even clarified before I ordered and the girl who took my order confirmed that they use all real fruit, no syrups, no yogurt, no milk, etc. It took them about 10 minutes to figure out how to make a smoothie, and in this time I am watching three employees sifting through bottles of flavored syrups. I asked if they would be putting any fresh fruit in it, hopeful that I was just misunderstanding what they were doing. I was spoken to by one employee in particular who told me that they "get the fresh fruit in puréed" and there is "no extra sugary syrup". My naive self chose to believe the man, not thinking that he would be lying to my face. The final product was the most disgusting excuse for a $6 smoothie I could have ever imagined. It was apparent that they literally put flavored sugary syrups into a blender with ice. It was sickly sweet, artificial and disgusting and I am appalled that the employees would blatantly lie to a customer, both on their sign and with their own words. In summary: even though our first experience was fine, that ordeal with the smoothie order was enough to make us never go back to this place. I hope management sees this and informs the employees. read more

Stopped in after getting a free sample outside it was that good.I wish I knew the mans name who helped us he was so nice and helpful. The praline fudge is amazing! read more

The Fudgery is located in the Riverwalk, which means the prices are inflated. But man is the fudge delicious. The staff does a great job interacting with customers while making the fudge while everyone watches. They sing and have an interesting patter involving the customers, drawing in people walking by. But the real star is the fudge itself. It's sold by the pound and each block is approximately 1/2 a pound. It comes in a number of flavors and we discovered that if you buy three pieces you get one free! We picked up dark chocolate with nuts, rocky road, peanut butter & chocolate, and "excellent chocolate". The peanut butter & chocolate fudge is amazing, like a premium Reese's cup. The dark chocolate with nuts is amazing, as is the rocky road. Even the plain chocolate is really good fudge. If you're in the Riverwalk anyway, be sure to stop and get some. read more

This place was one of my most amusing locations since I've been to New Orleans. ... thw people were nice and funny. ... singing and carrying on. ... very entertaining. .... let me taste whatever I wanted which made it easier to make a purchase...... will come back! read more

This review is based on the River Walk location. Keep refrigerated...This fudge is super creamy and milky. Wow, be careful if you can't handle rich desserts like such. They're still entertaining in terms of them singing while doing a demo. Buy, Try or Pass? Buy and enjoy that creamy fudge while in the Big Easy. read more

The Fudgery - $10.04 - Candy Stores Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We tried this place out on a whim, and had a lot of fun. It's a small shop with limited options, but what they do have is decent. The staff are super friendly, and they offered free samples of whatever you wanted to try before buying. The ice cream was delicious! The group of guys working that day were having a fun time and singing songs randomly. They took one look at my Star Wars shirt and started singing The Imperial March to us. It was a blast, and a great experience on what could have been just any other random trip to a sweet shop in a mall. read more

Stop here if you want; Delicious fudge, ice cold treats, giant ice cream cones, staff to sing in your face while you buy ice cream On a hot Louisiana day, we needed some refreshments. As the beignet lines all over the city were miles long, we knew ice cream was our best bet. We stumbled into this fudge store and boy are we glad we did. I typically take dozens of annoying food pics (yes I'm that friend) and I honestly ate my giant ice cream so fast I didn't get a chance. I ordered an espresso ice cream on a giant chocolate cone. Great quality ice cream that did not last more than 20 seconds before I demolished it in my mouth. We've been searching for ice cream all over the city - and this was a great find. Located just outside Jackson square - great place to stop in and get your sugar fix! The staff were literally belting out songs while serving you and ringing you up which I thought was hilarious and was jamming out singing with them too. My friend did not think it was so funny hahaha read more

The ice cream is wAtery & gross. I tried 8 flavors which was nice of them to let me. The person behind the counter was lovely: but the waffle cone was 3 weeks old & as i said the ice cream was watery and tastelesss. I do NOT recommend this place. Please try somewhere else to eat dessert read more

Excellent fudge. I had peanut butter and strawberry cheesecake fudge. They were fantastic. Everyone was so personable. All the workers sing to entertain their guests. They had a steady traffic and everyone left happy! They also sell ice cream and sorbet. This place was near the river. It was delectable! read more

For those of you not interested in reading, I will just say HORRIBLE customer service! Everyone else, this was my experience: This was not my first visit to The Fudgery but it will be my last! I purchased a caramel apple, a bottle of water, and 1 praline. Not 1 pound, not 1 dozen, but 1 single praline! My total came to $38 and some change. When I looked at the receipt and tried to explain that the price was wrong, the girl at the register argued that it was correct. When the she rang up my order, she charged me for the apple and the water but also left the apple on the scale with the single praline to come up with a total of $27 for a praline!!! Once I pointed out her mistake she called another employee over. He acted just as confused. I explained the issue and asked to refund my card for the amount that I was over charged. He said he couldn't. I said well you have cash, you can refund me with cash. Then he began to go through his own wallet and pulled out $3.00. He tried to give me $3.00! This is when I began to get upset. I showed him the receipt again and told him there is no way $3.00 is going to cover what is owed to me. He ended up calling someone (I am still baffled that no one at this store knew how to refund a debit card) and the person on the phone told him how to void the purchase. I am still waiting to see if they actually refunded my card or just double charged me. They eventually rang up the items again which came to $14. That's more reasonable. Now I am okay with people making mistakes. My problem with this is I don't think it was a mistake. I think the girl was running a scam. I believe she knew exactly what she was doing. Customers beware!! Don't let the singing and jokes fool you, they may try to steal your money. And if you notice, they do not have any trained employees who know how to refund your money!! read more

Besides the undisputed excellence of the fudge, it's the service that really pushes the ratings past 5 stars! Alfred is an absolute delight and beautifully balanced with Angela... it's like a team approach to make sure you leave HAPPY! I would say stop in for a visit even if you don't want to buy anything!!!we will be stopping in the third day in a row today just to say hi!! I'm sure I will be buying mor fudge too... just can't help myself there either!!!! read more

Tourist trap. The fudge tastes good and they give you samples. The employees were very pushy. They asked us 3 times to buy their buy 3 get 1 free combo. Our cashier visibly changed his attitude the last time we declined, we felt like we had done something wrong and got drawn into a conversation over why 2 people didn't need 2lbs of fudge. When we looked at the bill he charged us over $20 for one half pound slice of fudge, when he had quoted us $10.99 for a half pound. read more

Probably the best store inside the Riverwalk. The workers are very entertaining as they sing and joke around with the customers while making a fresh batch of fudge. Stop by for a free sample but seriously consider buying something if you stick around for the show. I felt really bad when everyone walked off after watching the show and eating the free samples. read more

We stopped here while shopping at Riverwalk. When we first passed, the associate told us that he was making a fresh batch of caramel and to come back in about 30 minutes. We went to the food court, had lunch and came back. The associate was quite amusing and had a great personality. He hand dipped the first 4 out of his batch just for us. We spend about 15-20 minutes while he talked and "performed" for us. Overall the purchase experience was AWESOME. We waited until we returned to the Hotel to enjoy the caramel apples. The caramel had not quite hardened yet (which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars). Great taste, caramel dipping was excellent and apples were fresh and tasty. read more

This place is bad in so many ways. 1. Employees are way too pushy. 2. Prices are inexcusable (we got a fudge). They might claim the fudge does not melt but just don't believe them. I explained to the employee it is not reasonable for two people to get 2 pounds of fudge just because of their offer, let alone we were flying out the next day. She insisted that people get fudge as presents for back home and fly with it all the time. I am so glad we did not listen to her and bought just one piece (half pound). The next day (note it was not even a hot day) we got to the airport and they asked us to further investigate our bag, which lasted for quite some time. I guess I would also find it suspicious if someone was carrying around a bag with some totally melted brown unidentified object!!! Never mind - we would not eat it anyway, it still was way too much for two people. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because at least during the 1st hour the fudge was edible... read more

The servers were friendly and singing all the time. Although the fudge seemed a bit too sweet for us, we liked the ice cream. And what's great is that they give you lots of ice cream. Two scoops seemed more than three actually, and it tasted great. read more

Holy price inflation Batman! Got two caramel turtles for twelve dollars? Are you kidding?

We were chilling at the mall and came across this place. The workers were singing while making fudge. They all seemed so happy and friendly!

We were back again the next day for more. read more
