    We stop by every time we're in Estes Park. The Texas Pecan Taffy is something really special. Also love the buttered popcorn flavor.

    I have been coming here since I was a child, in fact so has my mother. They have been hand making salt water taffy here since 1935! It's important to know it's fantastic, but not packed with preservatives like others. So buy what you can eat in a week or so! When you walk in always a warm welcome and a FREE piece of taffy, take your pick! I love salted caramel! It is a cozy space, make room for everyone and check out the machines making taffy!

    This was the most cozy and authentic candy shop in Estes Park. We loved it and it's been around since 1935. The employees were enthusiastic about the taffy and excited to engage with us. Our service was exceptional and speedy. The taffy I bought for my dad so I didn't try it but it looked delicious. I also love that they gave us a flavor key so I don't have to remember which taffy was which flavor. Everybody should come visit!

    This is a little family owned taffy shop, they're celebrating 90 years this year. The folks inside helping us were very friendly. They said every other taffy shop in town has their taffy shipped in but they make there's all on site and you can tell. The taffy is so fresh and soft. Excellent little spot!

    This was a cute spot. It's very small but everything is made in house. I only tried the cherry one which was delicious. They don't have very many flavors to choose from. Had they had more I probably would have bought some. Over all a cute spot. Maybe next time I'll buy some.

    We LOVE The Taffy Shop! We stop a couple times on each trip we make! The taffy is actually made IN store & you can watch the employees making it (not just the machine in the window). The flavor is not overly sweet & you get the small, old time shop feel (since the shop is 90 years old and all)! They even ship

    There is many taffy shops around Estes with wider selections. Honestly, if you ask this little green dude, the selections don't matter if the quality is par. The Taffy Shop is so compact, you'd suspect a goblin founded the company. In spite the size, the selection is tight and every option you have is a solid winner, regardless what you pick up. If you ask me, though, I always suggest the Butter Rum and the Salted Caramel.

    Several taffies on display.

    This shop Carrie's on the legacy of delicious salt water taffy in Estes. Old school meets new school with compostable wrappers!! So nice! Try a few! You will see. Highly recommended!

    So there is one true taffy shop in Estes Park. Lots of people sell taffy, but this is the original Estes Park. Taffy shop 80 something years in business. Taffy is absolutely amazing. Local competition tastes like Play-doh. They're also the only shop in town to make it on site. Fort Collins warehouses provide most of the taffy for other shops in Estes Park. Don't waste your money anywhere else. This is the taffy you want to take home! I've been dreaming about coming back to the shop for the last three weeks.

    This is the taffy shop to visit! Fresh taffy made there on site. Very friendly staff, at a great location.

    Taffy!

    We were told to come here, that it's the original. The taffy was great. We brought boxes back home to put out at work for our coworkers.

    If there was a gun to my head and I had to pick only three flavors I'd pick Texas Pecan, Vanilla, and Texas Pecan.

That being said, the elderly gentleman who took our order wasn't nearly as sweet as the product he was selling. In fact, he seemed put out to see a patron enter into his establishment at all. Regardless of the stale service received, this is a unique spot for families, with plenty of space for kids to run around, amidst a fun colorfully lit backdrop that gives off an arcade feel from an era gone by. The framed canine on the wall, much beloved by its owner, is a cute touch too. The sweet snacks once sampled back in the car weren't terribly fresh, but we plan to visit again and try more items on the expansive menu.

Unfortunately, he didn't seem very interested in helping or ensuring we received what we asked for. We purchased three pieces of chocolate for $23, which already felt expensive, and when we returned to our hotel we realized they had given us the wrong chocolates--no tiger butter at all. We tried calling the shop to address the mistake, but it went straight to voicemail. Between the lack of customer service, the error with our order, and the high price point, the experience was very disappointing. For the cost, the quality did not meet expectations. Sadly, this place feels past its prime, and I wouldn't recommend it.
