Lots of Candy, yet came for the Chocolate! The Ambiance of the shop is Small & Intimate with the Chocolates near the checkout counter. Was in town visiting and now will make the time to come and get more Chocolate! Service was straightforward as you mostly select the Candy yourself, yet the Chocolate must be served by a Worker. Highly Recommended if you are a Chocolate lover! Crème Brûlée & Pistachio were my beautiful selections! read more

I've been going there for years since we live just over the hill. Normally I'd have a positive experience but this last time in the high of the summer they really need more that one person working. One for behind the counter and one to actually see what the kids are doing going through the bins. Seriously who lets their kids decide to take items they've touched and possibly slobbered on already put it back in the self serve bins. Sorry parents but if you decide it's too much candy they buy it and handle it and not have your kids put it back. Since going in July I've been back to Capitola as a favorite summer place but will not go back to the candy store or recommend. read more

Cute candy shop in Capitola. Small storefront with candy bins to self serve on each side when you walk in. They also had a fridge with various sugary sodas and additional shelving with box and bar candies. By the cash register there was a nice chocolate display case with lots of truffles and other chocolate candies to choose from. The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

I loved this cute candy shop and its variety while walking around Capitola for the first time. If you don't pay attention, you'd completely miss it but it definitely adds to its appeal. The person at the counter was extremely nice and even gave me a pin! Candy variety is awesome which included Swedish candy which I've been trying to find and Dubai chocolate for my friend. An absolute go to when in the area! read more

Many selections of candies. The price goes off by weight fyi. It can add up pretty quick but you can get as much or as little of any mixture of candy you want. Super nice people work there. I love going in getting some candy sometimes and just taking a peaceful stroll around the adorable beach town. read more

We got a chocolate nut covered caramel apple. The service was great and the nice man offered to slice up our delicious apple, awesome. I only took off a star because the prices weren't listed for the apples which is not good policy in my opinion, be transparent with the prices so the people can decide. Other than that top notch apple and service. read more

This is the cutest candy shop with fantastic staff! So many choices & very clean shop.

Yum! We went today for a sweet treat and especially liked the handmade chocolate covered honeycomb and the orange peel. The staff person was really nice and prices are reasonable, definitely will be back! read more

Great candy store with tons of choices. The gentleman who owns this store is so nice and this store is fun for shopping--adults or kids!

Was strolling through the village and happened upon this candy shop. The capitola candy cafe has a solid selection of candy and just stepping inside made me feel like a kid again. I was impressed by the sheer number of sour ribbon flavors they had (those are my favorite!). I even got to try a few flavors I've never seen before. Customer service was also top notch, the owner was very friendly and fun to chat with. Anytime I'm in need of a candy fix this will be my go to spot. read more

Absolutely loved this place! I was walking towards the beach and I kept seeing people with Boba drinks in their hand. I had to ask where they got it from. They said, "the candy shop with the octopus" I searched and found it. They were so nice!! The price is great for boba. And chocolate! I got a 16oz green tea, with Boba, and peach syrup 25% sweet (super good) And rocky road chocolate. It was delicious. Great people! Thanks guys! read more

Still our favorite candy store in town. Beautifully remodeled. Excellent selection with really reasonable price. On top of all, awesome and friend owner! Omg. Cadbury crunchie!!!!! Have you guys try this? If you love chocolate w toffee or crunchy texture, you should try this. We had it from gourmet European grocery before and I'm surprised to see it at Capitola Candy Store. (Hint: great selection). We also had the chocolate toffee caramel apple. Not overalls sweet, super smooth chocolate with crunchy toffee. This might be my go to item every time I stop by. read more

Mandatory stop when visiting Capitola. It is truly a special place that brings adults back to their childhood and provides kids with the most magical moments. Always great service and great selection. Locals always make it part of their "stops" when heading down into the village. read more

Super friendly owner who appreciated local people coming in. He even gifted an extra treat for my daughter. But the best part is the affordability, at least compared to other candy shops in tourist hotspots. That's to say, considering the location, they aren't gouging, but offering a great selection at a fair price! read more

I seriously love this candy store. They carry a variety of candy that I just can't find anywhere else and they are so nice to kids when you visit! Seriously a fun place to stop in! read more

Stopped here during the Capitola Sio and Stroll. We had great service from the manager and the associate working. We tasted some of their dark chocolate sea salt carmel chocolates while we were there and loved it. We ended up taking some of the dark chocolate covered honey combs to go. They were also amazing! Thanks for the delicious treats and the excellent service read more

Capitola Candy - Dark chocolate cover honey comb - Candy Stores Near Me - Capitola, California

This is really more of a beachside bodega than a full-on candy shop. Very small with a couple of delicious candies you grew up with, some homemade taffy, and other miscellaneous non-candy items. Really nice people working here, but less of a major candy shop. read more

I'm thrilled that Capitola Candy Cafe is open again - and looking great with a redone interior! I was excited to see that they've expanded to include coffee/food options along with candy offerings. This morning I tried their mocha and masala chai latte, and was not disappointed. The chai latte was excellent. Great blend of spices and balance of sweetness - my new favorite! Can't wait to try their food offerings next time. Candy selection is smaller (no bulk bins) but has some excellent choices - I was especially happy to see Japanese Kit-Kats (4 different ones) as I LOVE trying out different flavors. But the best part of Capitola Candy Cafe has to be the people. Everyone is so welcoming and Rodney, especially, is so incredibly warm and friendly. Happy to discuss the virtues of wonderful chai, chocolate and fun new future food offerings. read more

I'm addicted to the quiche here! Great stop for your espresso drink and a quick bite to eat. Rodney is super picky about his ingredients, lucky for his customers! He has fun, hard to find candy, and still has that handmade taffy! Brian is the BOBA master and Brooke always has a smile for customers. Can you tell I'm a regular?! read more

The best candy store in Capitola! Reasonable pricing and amazing quality. The sour belts were soft, fresh and sour to perfection. Go early if you want a caramel apple they sell out fast! Staff are super friendly and will help you find whatever you are looking for. Make this shop one if your stops in Capitola. read more

With 72 hours notice, the Capitola Candy Company was able to deliver to me 80 caramel apples and chocolate covered rice krispy treats with my theme colors - shiny and sparkly! Can't beat the quality, the friendliness of service and the delivery - everything was packaged well for transport and display! Loved the treats and the staff! read more

Had a few hours to kill so I made my way to Capitola Beach. Normally that's where I stay but today I wondered around the village and found this candy store. It was such a pleasant surprise because I needed to get candy to fill my sons Christmas Advent calendar. The owner was so nice and helpful. I grabbed a bag and filling it with candles from the bins (an assortment of gummies and other candies). The best part was after I made my purchase the owner offered to individually wrapped each one so I could put it in the calendar. He said he would need about 15 minutes so I wondered around and came back to find them in a cute box all wrapped up!! Customer service at its best! If you needs a Christmas gift this is the place to go! Treats for the holidays! I'll be back for sure!! read more

I LOVE this candy shop. In a tourist location, it comes with tourist prices. However, he has a wonderful selection of fresh candy, and reasonable prices despite the location. Rodney is extremely friendly, and make his own chocolate and taffy. Try his Carmel Apple Boat! He makes the carmel himself and it is divine. He caters to both locals and tourists, and as a local he runs a business great for the community. He gets mostly tourists, but if you are a local, let him know! He's great to talk to. We return here everytime we have dinner in the village or out walking our dog. read more

One of the best things about living in Capitola Village is getting to know all of the amazing shop owners, and Rodney at Capitola Candy Cafe is a perfect example. He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and cares about his customers and community. The shop is spotless and filled with super fun treats including the chocolates he makes himself. The nostalgic candy selection, fun music, and great people working there offer a party atmosphere in the heart of the village-- stop by and have some fun! + the coffee is delicious. read more

Candy Land...aka The Jelly Belly Store is a little treasure trove of everything sweet for you to eat. Kind of like a mini version of a Powells, there is a TON of candy packed in here, even old-school stuff like those pink and white striped coconut rectangle chewy candies I used to eat a ton of when I was younger...when my metabolism was a lot faster! They also have a bunch of Jelly Belly flavors, colored M&M's..yum yum!!! Specialty chocolate as well. It's a tiny place tucked into the main strip in downtown Capitola, surprised no one has reviewed it yet! read more

Homemade and fresh candy? Yes please!!! The guy who makes the candy was very nice and seems to take pride in his delicious candy as well! :)
