Amazing taffies - they are simply the best and very addictive.

Five stars for friendly service. 2-3 stars for the products. Although this is every kids dream, it should be a concerned parents nightmare. All the taffy is made with artificial colors (like Red 40 & Blue 1) linked to autoimmune diseases and premature wrinkles/baldness. Most of the other packaged candies had high fructose corn syrup. I find superior ingredients and better pricing at Trader Joe's.

All the candy your heart could desire! This is candy heaven. It doesn't look like much from the outside. But inside, is packed with taffy in every flavor. And I mean everyyyyyy flavor! So many taffy options. I didn't even know taffy had such diversity. I grabbed one of the ore-made variety packs of taffy that come in the cute little bags. It says Newport Beach and has a cute dolphin on it. And then we grabbed one of every flavor. So we could try them all. There was only one watermelon flavored left!! That seems to be a popular flavor! They also has some super Mario brothers inspired candies that looked fun. The gummy sushi's and pizzas too. Lots of rock candy and licorice in different flavors. They have ring pops, airheads, and candy necklaces too. Such a cute little candy shop! If you have a sweet tooth, you are bound to find something here.

Stopped by this candy store while exploring Balboa Island. I love that they had barrels of taffy sitting in the front of the store. It really drew me in. I ended up picking a few pieces of taffy to take home to eat and a pack of blue sour belts since they charge an extra 70 cents if you use card to pay. The taffy from here is really good. The texture is nice and chewy and the flavors are very prominent. I really enjoy the chocolate taffy. As for the sour belt, it is perfect. The blue raspberry flavor really shines through and the belt has the perfect ratio of sweet to sour! Love it here! All of our candy came out to be about $4, which is honestly a steal!

Balboa candy is located on balboa island in Newport Beach California. It is a corner store that is easy to find with ample side street parking. Today we took the ferry over to balboa island specifically to get some salt water taffy. Balboa Candy has a very large supply of salt water taffy and they also have a multitude of flavors to choose from. All salt water taffy is peanut free too fyi. So if you have a peanut allergy, you're good. They even have a peanut butter flavored salt water taffy that is completely safe to eat and peanut free. The staff here is super friendly and knowledgeable and we make it a point to stop in on every trip to Newport Beach to show our support for the local business. Prices are reasonable and the selection of candy is vast. There are also some candies that aren't salt water taffy as well as some retro sodas too. I can imagine that this candy store is somewhat reminiscent of days gone by. Give them a try when you're on the island, you won't regret it. They also have a location on the balboa peninsula by the Fun Zone and Daveys locker.

Old fashioned candy on the main drag. TONS of saltwater taffy options and barrels of candy. A bit pricey, and you pay by the pound. Worth checking out if you want to try some interesting taffy flavors.

Cuts little store with a great selection. Perfect for picking up some affordable souvenirs. Incredible tasting fudge. Cute stop for all age groups. Good for drinks and snacks before boating around the harbor or heading to Catalina.
