    We stopped in here to see their selection of ice cream. They have a very small selection of ice cream as pictured. Plenty of candy available to satisfy any sweet tooth. They sell candy apples as well. We will definitely pop in when we are visiting the wharf again.

    Here in beautiful Monterey for the first time and we stopped at this candy store that literally called us in. Lol! So many choices to choose from. It is delectable candy heaven. My grandchildren would have a field day in here. So colorful, bright, and so much candy galore . They even had candy apples and fudge. So delightful and everything for your sweet tooth you can imagine. My husband loves spicy mango candy and that's what he selected. It was kind of pricey but everything is high nowadays. As far as service you have people at the counters that are waiting to ring up your order. They can answer any questions. Thank you and hopefully we'll see you again.

    They have a huge selection and variety of candy and salt water taffy. It's really awesome just walking around to see everything. The store itself is a little cramped, so it might be difficult for someone in a wheelchair or other devices. Everything looked pretty good and clean until we were waiting in line to check out. Their fudge is just sitting out in the open without any covering, so flies were flying around and sitting on the fudge...yeah, not sanitary at all. Very concerning. Everything else was wrapped up or in a case case, so that seemed fine, but maybe avoid the fudge. They do have a $5 minimum if you want to use your card. Not a huge deal, it's just good to know ahead of time.

    I grew up in Monterey and have fond memories of visiting the wharf and stopping by Candy World. Unfortunately, this time the candy was disappointing--stale and overall unappetizing. My grandma got a caramel apple, and she said the apple was way too sour. On a positive note, the staff were super sweet and helpful, which I appreciated. But if you're heading to the wharf, I recommend skipping this candy store and walking a bit further to the other candy shop--you'll thank me later!

    Candy and fudge

    One of my favorite places to visit is this wonderful store located on Fishermans Wharf. Everything about this store is special starting with the colorful outside of the store. I love the train on the outside of the building. It just looks happy and colorful and draws you inside. Who can resist M&M people outside the store. Inside is every kind of candy you would want. There is retro candy and packaged candies and all kinds of wonderful fudge in all kinds of flavors. You can smell the fudge wafting through the store. This store is a feast for the eyes. Take your children there. My son got one of those big lollipops and malted milk balls which he loved. I hope you enjoy this business as much as I do.

    Throw back candy

    Wow, is this store a throw back! They have all the old classic candies: buttons, bubble gum cigarettes, abba zabba, Rocky roads, and more! It really is a kids dream come true! They have these buckets at the door you fill with your items. The kids really enjoyed that. Also, if you like taffy there is a large assortment here. My only complaint would be the pricing of the candy. Many items 3.99 and up. I bought about $40 of candy and it was not much, the cashier told me the pricing was like that due to some of the candies being difficult to find. A friend of mine said the candy shop in SF fisherman's wharf was cheaper. If I returned to the area I would likely try the other candy shop near by. Overall, customer service was good, and we enjoyed looking through their product. Th

    Absolutely worst customer service. Didn't say a single word to me at checkout. I even asked a question about the fudge and she just flat out ignored me. Not even a hello, didn't say my total. I am unsure of the employees name but as a worker on the wharf I was advice people not to go here.

    Taffy heaven must I say ! Options - Place must have every single flavor of taffy available in the world here. Aside that the other candy selection is ok but I will say 90% of it is taken up by taffy. Prices - In my opinion the candy is overpriced for you get. Venue - Very bright, good size and a lil tight in some areas. Location - First shop on the strip, cant miss it. Place is definitely worth checking out for taffy lovers, other than that its ok.

    We stopped in for a quick treat to bring back to hotel with us after eating at restaurant nearby…read more The shop is small and filled with so much snacks that you could imagine! It smelled great like candy popcorn but not so overwhelming either. It was a nice smell. The guy who helped was quick to greet us and get us what we needed. We chose toffee caramel covered apple and a chocolate toffee candy square. The candy square was good but goodness it was a bit hard for me to even break so little nibbles we took. The caramel chocolate covered apple we got was so good.

    I have been visiting Carousel Candy for decades. Before living on the peninsula, this nostalgic…read morecandy shop was always a must whenever we were in town. I've never been here when there's not a crowd, so be prepared for a bit of standing around and waiting your turn. There's no line, per se, just the honor system of first come, first serve. The wait has never distracted from the experience of visiting this shop. It always gives me time to decide what I want. And there's so much to choose from! Dipped apples Chocolate candies Jelly candies Fudges Popcorn Ice cream Saltwater taffy They also have sugar-free options. Between the mouth-watering aromas, the tempting variety of confections, the old-fashioned decor and the staff who tirelessly waits on the never ending line of customers, I highly recommend this sweet little candy shop.
