“LICORICE HEAVEN! This is the #1 spot for licorice lovers. They have a huge selection from all over the world. It's so good that I look for excuses to go down to Carmel-by-the-sea just to pay them a visit.”
“Go slow through isles so you don’t miss the hidden gems in this store. Originally went inside for the candy pickle kit in the window and ended up buying so much more. Baskets were helpful but also aided in over buying. Could be dangerous on the wallet to bring littles here. Some items were reasonably priced, while others seemed a little too steep. Sour candies were fun to try but not sour at all. (Maker’s issue not stores). Entire staff was helpful and friendly. Overall great place to pick up some unique candy and old nostalgic ones.”
“I am a lifelong See's Candy lover. Their employees are friendly, helpful and efficient. This store was on par with every other one I have been to, excellent ? See's is consistent with the highest quality of their product and with the way their stores are run. I can't recommend them enough ❤️”

“The guy running the shop was super friendly. He had some taffy samples and they were delicious. We went with the caramel popcorn instead and it was amazing. It was fresh and covered with sugary goodness. It did not disappoint!”
“Eva is a wonderful woman who wants only to share laughter with the customers. I think she is a very brave lady experiencing what she can. I will never forget this candy store, it was the highlight of our trip!”
“Review: Sweet Experience at Candy World**
I recently visited Candy World and was impressed by their huge selection of candies and the variety they offer. The shelves were stocked with a delightful array of sweets, making it a candy lover's paradise.
I decided to try the fudge and had the pleasure of speaking with the lady who makes it fresh every day. The fudge was good and tasted great, with a rich, creamy texture. While it wasn't the best fudge I've ever had, I'd rate it a solid 7 out of 10.
Overall, Candy World offers a wonderful selection and a charming atmosphere. It's definitely worth a visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.”
“A wide range of candy and some interesting saltwater taffy here. Spotted Coconut Curry, Sangria, Mojito, just to name a few. The guy who was working here yesterday was friendly.”

“Large assortment of saltwater taffy and retro candies available.Most of the aisles are so narrow and it got so crowded with strollers that had a hard time getting through that it was too hard to even look so I ended up leaving. It was a Saturday so maybe at another time would be easier.”
“Ah, seeker of sweetness, hear my counsel. If taffy of the finest quality you desire, then to this place you must go. A vast selection they offer, and for but 4.50 credits per quarter pound, the freedom to choose your own flavors is granted. A most welcome boon this is, for elsewhere, only pre-packaged assortments do they provide.
Soft as the whispers of the Force, gooey as the bonds that tie all things together, this taffy is a delight most exquisite. Though the fudge and other confections I did not sample, their presence alone was temptation enough. For the price, the quality and variety are balanced well—harmony in the Force, indeed.
Strange, the negative reviews seem. Perhaps the candy apples dwell in the shadowed side of confectionery mastery—heed such warnings if you must. But for taffy alone, this place shines like a beacon in the darkness. Return, I shall.”
“Extremely nice shop owner with a cute little shop. Macarons were very reasonably priced, especially considering they are MACARONS. If you can't afford a macaron don't buy one. Don't go to a place to buy macarons expecting them to be cheap. If you want cheap macarons, you get bad macarons. CHEAP MACARON = BAD MACARON Highly recommend.”
“I'm from Sri Lanka and my favorite taste is Ginger. When I got this Ginger Chew I fell for it. I would like to introduce this to Sri Lanka. Is it Possible to export your Ginger Chew to our country ?”
