Great store, cool to see the confectionery behind the glass too. A good selection of American candy and homemade things they produce themselves. The ambience is great, with the taffy bins resembling a small row boat! Service is great, there's also a 10% off discount for the first order when signing up for the rewards. Generally prices are reasonable too. Pretty funny they have the same store within 500 ish feet of each other. I'd go twice! read more

Tuck's Candy Factory - Dm me on a heart - Candy Stores Near Me - Rockport, Massachusetts

Fun candy store experience. There was quite a bit of variety to choose from, which makes it fun for everyone. We ended up getting a taffy assortment to try, and the kid family members we were with opted for gummy sharks and sea creatures, and some gummy pizzas. I saw some people ahead of us getting frozen lemonades, which looked good. If my friend were with me, I know she would have gotten the chocolate covered gummy bears, which can be hard to come by. There's a little freezer with chocolate covered frozen bananas- in dark and milk chocolate varieties. It was the first time I had a dark chocolate covered frozen banana. It was awesome! read more

Tuck's Candy Factory is a super cute classic New England candy shop! The interior has a yummy candy aroma, and there is a huge variety of chocolates and candies. It was super fun to look at all of the options. I tried some taffies and chocolates, and they were all great! The inside of the tiramisu and milk Irish cream truffles were super creamy, and the flavors were just right. I also really enjoyed the chubby pecan turtle! I would definitely recommend stopping by Tuck's for the atmosphere and tasty sweets :) read more

Charming & authentic Cape Ann candy store that makes candy canes, ribbon candy, salt water taffy, fudge & chocolates onsite.

They have home made salt water taffy which is amazing, soft and nice flavors! It is so hard to find home made these days, most have the gross neon color mass produced goo now. read more

Really bad company with no ethics. No customer service. No willingness to make amends for not delivering on a purchase. I ordered truffles for Mother's Day as a gift. Three weeks later (post Mother's Day) they arrive completely melted and unrecognizable. Contacted the company. Basically, the response was -"Ooopsie!" and then, "Not issuing a refund". Wow. The only consolation is that they will likely run themselves out of business with this attitude. read more

When you first stop in, you'll be overwhelmed by the delicious aroma and endless choices. They have a huge selection of fresh, packaged candies if you aren't in the mood for chocolate. You'll find craft gummy worms, gummy bears, gummy lobsters, Swedish fish, candy corn, licorice, Gummy Dinosaurs, Gummy Frogs, Gummy Fish, Sour Watermelons, Gummy Peaches, Gummy Sharks, Fruit Slices, Boston Baked Beans, Milk+Dark Non-Pareils, Marzipan, Malt Balls, and more! They also have a solid selection of seasonal, bagged candy. They had foil wrapped, fall-themed chocolate coins, crispy milk chocolate "eyeballs", and chocolate "lollipops" with a plethora of designs. Their chocolate and truffle selection is massive, I suggest spending some time taking it all in before ordering. They have a solid selection of dipped treats as well. You'll find chocolate-dipped gummy fish+lobster, chocolate-covered graham crackers, chocolate-dipped nutter butters, chocolate-dipped Oreos, chocolate-dipped peanuts, chocolate-dipped raisins, chocolate-dipped cranberries, chocolate-dipped blueberries, chocolate-dipped cookie dough, and Dark Chocolate Espresso Beans.

They have chocolate-dipped pretzel rods, chocolate-dipped marshmallows+rice krispy treats, chocolate-dipped Twinkies, krispy chocolate bars, regular chocolate bars, and chocolate dipped s'mores. If you're a fan of bark and clusters, they have you covered! You'll find chocolate-nut bark, caramel-nut patties, chocolate nut clusters, peanut butter cups, rocky-road clusters, coconut clusters, and more! They do have a selection of assorted caramels. You'll also find chocolate-dipped orange peel, apricot, ginger, cherry cordials, and dipped orange slices. Fudge lovers will certainly love this place!They have phenomenal fudge. They offer seven flavor choices, like classic chocolate or peanut butter. If you like truffles, they have a great selection to choose from. You'll see Cherry Cordials, Wintergreen Creams, Vanilla Creams, Raspberry Jelly Truffles, Raspberry Creams, Peppermint Creams, Orange Creams, Nougat Truffles, Maple-Pecan Creamer, Lemon Creams, Lemon Chiffon, and more! They also offer "bite-sized" truffles. My personal favorite is their Salt Water Taffy. It is the only kind I will eat. Sometimes, you're able to see the candy maker making a batch while you're in-store. You can buy the assortment box OR pick your own. It's roughly $1 for four pieces. My favorite is the chocolate-raspberry and the peanut butter. Lastly, they do have a solid selection of treats for fall. They have candy corn, assorted fall taffy, small/large chocolate witch, small/large Chocolate Ghost, Chocolate Pumpkin, Chocolate Halloween Cat, Halloween Peanut Butter Cups, Autumn Jelly Beans, Pumpkin Pie Malt Balls, Jelly Pumpkins, Gummy Brains, Gummy Eyeballs, Halloween-Themed Chocolate Lollipops, and much more! I would recommend this candy store to locals and tourists alike. The quality of the ingredients sets them apart from others and the selection is incredible. I always make time to stop in when I am in the Rockport area. read more

I love places like this. half candy shop, half museum-like store that helps you imagine what a candy shop in the early 1900's would have been like. The salt water taffy machine was invented in 1906 based on signs. multiple Huge machines to make one type of taffy candy in all flavors. Pretty awesome. Good variety of milk and dark chocolates w nuts and w/o nuts. and a whole host of candies from the past (no pics of store bc I was too busy controlling a 6 yr old) Lovely man behind the counter as well. Prices seemed quite reasonable to me for a specialty store. Even with small purchases, my credit card was accepted. As long as I have two sugar monsters in my household who also love the seacoast, we'll be back for sure. read more

I have been curing my sweet tooth here for almost ten years+ it's my Go too For chocolate or candy

Wide selection of candies and chocolates but I have to say I was a bit disappointed after I took my box home and began eating the truffles-- for the same amount of calories I would have preferred the taste of the Dove chocolates sitting on my dresser. Overall I wasn't impressed with the chocolates and probably wouldn't waste the money or the calories-- save it for the ample amount of ice cream shops in Rockport. read more

Tuck's Candy Factory - Truffles and mint chocolate cup - Candy Stores Near Me - Rockport, Massachusetts

This stuff is the real deal! Ive had handmade chocolates all over the world. From $60/lb. Eidelweiss Chocolates in Beverly Hills to 200+ year old chocolatiers in London and Belgium. Tucks is my new favorite!! Damn ... this stuff is good. We stopped by the Ticks near motif #1 on a post labor day trip. We each got a carmel nut chew. Upon eating it, we were so amazed, we headed to the other location in Rockport (where they actually make the candy) which is closer to the parking lot. There we bought gifts for all our friends. The store smelled like black licorice because right next door they were making it fresh! The prices here arent for the faint of heart but thats usually the case with the GOOD handmade chocolates. Go for the carmel nut chew with pecans which is my favorite. The dark chocolate raisin cups are amazing as well. You'll pay about $1.50 for a handmade peanut butter cup and $1.75 for a caramel nut chew but a little goes a long way! And its so so good if it was cheaper youd probably go through a box if you have no self control. Great handmade candy shops are few and far between ... this is one of the great ones. Dont look at the price tag and dive in. $20 for a weeks worth of chocolate is not a bad deal given the quality and artistry that goes into it. The gift boxes and bags are also pretty luxurious looking with gold foil embossing. read more

If you walk by the open doors of this place on a warm day and AREN'T immediately drawn in by the sweet smells, please reconsider. Located right on the main strip in Rockport is Tuck's. When you walk in, you're hit with such a sweet smell of sugar and you can feel yourself getting giddy with excitement. Salt water taffy, handful of different fudges, many different homemade chocolates, and various types of candy are found here. Came here three times the weekend my family and I ventured to Rockport.....went into other sweets places but none had the options like this one. Unless of course you're looking for ice cream, which they do not sell. The reason why they're not five stars is the staff. Every single time we went in and were helped, the staff seemed very annoyed we were in the place. Often rude when answering questions, and tried to sell me a piece of fudge I just watched her pry off the side of the glass jar with her ungloved fingers....no thank you! Milk chocolate covered bananas were heavenly! read more

First time here today! And we got a great price for some amazing sweet treats. Salt water taffy was great!

Tiramisu flavored dark and mint flavored dark are impressive. Not as sweet as I thought and the aroma of cocoa is so good. I think Tuck is better than Godiva. read more

I'm a big fan of Tuck's taffy--best I've ever had! Loads better than the stuff you can get at the airport. Great variety of flavors and highly addicting. Some of my favorite flavors are: cinnamon, peanut butter, licorice and spearmint. Yum! May have to drive up there soon to stock up. I've tasted some of the chocolate items and I find the chocolate average. read more

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! DELICIOUS HOME MADE CHOCOLATES, FUDGE & TAFFY MADE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY! This is a family owned & operated business since 1929. They have a large selection of candy here. Their prices are little high but you can taste where your money's been spent with the best quality ingredients. We got a bag of assorted chocolates & everyone raved about them. The surprising hit was the chocolate frozen bananas which are located in their mini freezer. Whoah! I never knew a FROZEN CHOCOLATE BANANA could taste SOOOO GOOOOD! YOU MUST TRY THEM! Their TURTLES are FANTASTIC too! They have several varieties of Turtles. Their FUDGE is also EXCELLENT! They make the home Made taffy right next door in front of you. You can peer through the window & see the candy being pulled & stretched. If you're on a budget & or diet; you can buy the candy by the piece or splurge & take home a box. You can order their chocolates online too. Walter Tuck, began making their candies in 1929. They are now 3rd generation family owned & operated. It used to be, you had to have mega bucks & be really rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

The little town of Rockport is charming. This place definitely looked the most intriguing out of all the dessert stops and we happened to park right outside of it. We ordered a few things here and they were absolutely delicious. They were fresh and rich. The service here was great. I highly recommend if you're passing through! read more

Wonderful place located in the heart of Rockport. Everyone who works there is so pleasant and knowledgeable. We got a little bit of everything, and so far it's been 10/10 read more

If you're in the neighborhood you MUST go here!! Watch candy made before your eyes. The workers stretch and knead the taffy using machines which are over 100 years old. They have soo many wonderful treats, you can't tried one of every type in one visit so plan on coming again and again. This place has been there since the 20s, and still makes the same quality confections. Salt Water taffy, every type of chocolate, crystalized ginger etc... And they sell a lot of other candies too. Can't recommend it enough!!!! read more

Tuck's is a staple in the downtown storefronts in Rockport. With two locations, one more of a gift shop and the other the taffy pull/candy factory, you get a different experience in each place, with all of the varieties of candy. If this were solely ranking the candy factory, it would have four stars. Being able to watch people pulling taffy is really cool if you've never gotten the chance to see that before, and the candy is reasonably yummy. But if you've ever had Nichol's candies in neighboring Gloucester, or tasted fudge from the fudgery up the road, you may regret buying those things from Tuck's first. The plus side is that it's all right there in one spot, so if you're craving a box of chocolates or some taffy, there's a great selection. The taffy alone would get five stars from me, but given the other offerings it bumps it down to three. Particularly the gift shop outlet of Tuck's... the items there are generally very tacky and cheap, with a lot of 'Rockport' put on everything. (we don't have killer whales or bottlenosed dolphins), though there is a fair selection of greeting cards and an occasional nice gift tucked amongst the personalized pens and lobster magnets. Oh! And they're open year round and make their own huge candy canes at Christmas which are delicious! All of the taffy flavors are delicious, though. Particularly the coffee and the peanut butter/molasses. read more

Excellent dark chocolate peanut butter cups and packaged "fruit" slices. Mixed opinion of their marzipan tiny fruits - sometimes good, sometimes kind of stale. read more

Pretty typical tourist trap candy store, although they get bonus points for being a fourth generation independently operated small business. You can find places like this in any seaside tourist destination. They all make some form of taffy and have listless teens working behind the counter dreaming of anything but making and selling candy. I for one as a tourist salute them. And eat their taffy. read more

We went there since is was highly recommended but was very disappointed. The salt water taffy had very little flavor and tasted more like wax than the flavor it was suppose to be. , the fudge flavors were good but unfortunately the texture was very grainy, almost like it had too much sugar in it. In addition, the server was very unfriendly, which made us all feel like leaving the store. I wish we did since the quality was not that great. read more

This place is sweet! (horrid pun, I know!) A great variety of salt water taffy which you can watch them make. Also super tasty chocolate turtles and other delightful confections. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area. read more

We went to Tuck's candies to buy 15 pounds of salt water taffy to use as wedding favors. The woman at the counter was very helpful and made it easy for us to get a large assortment of candy. Their taffy is delicious! read more

It was OK. The taffy was great but I was a little disappointed with the fudge.

The chocolate covered Nutter Butter was good, but nothing great. Typical touristy candy shop. Each piece of chocolate is around $1.25 each.

This candy shop is very good. There is a good variety of sweets at this place and they also have another shop in town if you can't fufill your sugar intake at this loccation. Only four because I asked where I could find some milk and the woman behind the counter just laughed and said she didn't know of a place. Other than that the service was good and very friendly. Defiantly stop here if your going to rock port. just don't go in the back where all the cheap tourist pet rocks and "rockport" magnets are located. read more

Avoid this one and go to another location, if you must go to Tuck's. Observed the guy behind the counter being a complete condescending jerk to a senior citizen asking a few questions so she could make a purchase. Apparently, he just didn't have time for her and has NO respect for elders. It is not like he was bright and cheery with other customers either - but absolutely disrespectful to a senior. We walked out without purchasing after observing that interaction. Looking around at the product, it wasn't impressive enough to patronize a place that does not value customers. read more

Good little candy stop in Rockport. They have great solid dark chocolate - perfect mix of bitter and sweet, and nice and solid. The fudge is just okay, a little dry and not too flavorful. read more
