I don't understand the bad reviews. Of course the candies are gonna be a little on the expensive side, some of candies look too good to eat, and it is definitely a tourist attraction, so it is expected. I do agree that was barely any customer service and it was difficult to get any help, but all the candies I bought tasted great and my little nephew loved them read more

Captain Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

I believe it is called "Sweet Life". I am giving this place 4 stars because it is a clean, looking candy shop with a ton of variety. I don't understand the 1 star reviews. It is a pricier candy shop, because it is in the heart of the tourist zone, and there is nothing else like it. If you don't want to pay the prices, don't go. I went specifically for the wrapped lokum (turkish sweet), and it was a delicious mix of a fondant-like texture, nutella, shaved almonds, etc. It was fantastic, and I would get it again and again. read more

So strangely enough Prague is also known for its sweet tooth. No i'm not talking about the annoyingly omnipresent Trdelnik, which are absolutely EVERYWHERE in the old city. If you want open flame roasted dough spun on a metal stick then filled (cannoli style) with ice cream or gelato or "pudding" there's about 400,000 stands and shops to get them in Prague. Funny they are not even a Czech thing. Now candy on the other hand...gummy. marzipan. sours. taffy. hard candy. that's a real thing. And at Captain Candy you feel like a real pirate of the high seas scoring a vast booty of sweets. Did I want to find a review I could use the word booty in, yes. But it works. The candy is displayed in large replica gun powder barrels or chests and all kinds of pirate like nautical stuff. There's honestly every flavor or shape or size of gummy or candy product. We filled a couple bags, got a few rare things we only get in Europe and we weighed it, paid, and snacked our way around the sightseeing of Prague. Candy is a must, score some booty. Trdelnik is for suckers! read more

Captain Candy - a boat load of candies. - Candy Stores Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

ABSOLUTE TOURIST TRAP. Sure, the candy is very beautiful and there are many choices, colours, and flavours, but I don't think it's worth it. It's 88 CZK for 100g which will get you like 4 pieces of candy lol. I walked in and got excited about a few attractive- looking candies, paid 188CZK (and was so surprised like wtf! I only had a handful of candy) and was not amused when I was trying the candy I had gotten. All the gummies tasted the same tbh and I got like 4 different ones, plus they were very hard to chew. Not far off from like a rock hard texture. Don't come here unless you wanna get ripped off or develop some next cavities!! read more

Captain Candy contains beautifully displayed candy that somehow makes you feel as if you are in a gorgeous Spanish galleon sailing the high seas, accompanied by barrels of jewel toned candies. The candy was priced by the pound and expensive but if nothing else, stop in to have a look at this unusual shop. read more

Captain Candy it's also known as "Heaven on Earth"! :D Only drawback is that the store is a little right and a bit small. And since it's always full it can be a little difficult to move around. But it's worth it! :D read more

Captain Candy - Little heaven on Earth :D ...or simply, Captain Candy ,'-) - Candy Stores Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Absolute tourist trap! Don't come here unless you are really desperate for candy. Everything is sugary-sweet and too expensive. If you're in Prague and craving something sweet, try a chimney cake instead. read more

I'm such a sucker for good store designs and kitschy themes. The crowd and the selection of mostly gummies and some chocolates to weigh by the pound attracted me. Nothing really unique with the assortment, and the flavor and texture was about average. read more

Pricey place for candy but the store is really well kept and there are some interesting flavors for things like sour belts and my favorite, chocolate covered or candy covered nuts. Tried the cola sour belt, lemon covered almonds and the vanilla and chocolate covered Brazil nuts as well as tiramisu nuts which were DELICIOUS with chocolate that literally melts in your mouth. In addition, the chocolate is in generous portions and one of the first stores I've been to that offered chocolate covered Brazil nuts! read more

My ideal candy destination - so much selection of gummy candies!! Everything is presented very well, there is great variety, and the candy tastes amazing. As a US tourist, I also found the options to be very unique/types I had never seen before. The only reason it is dinged by -1 star is because it is very pricey. It is around 80 kc for 100g of candy. I was surprised to find I ended up purchasing over 400 kc of gummy candy.................................................. read more

Really aggressive about the no picture rule which is seems odd because I would think that would help attract more business. Small spot, lots of bees and flies landing on the candy which is out in the open air without a cover read more

Crazily expensive, candy wasn't even that great and staff are very hostile when you even pick up a sweet with prongs to look at it. Felt very unwelcome. Wish I could've put the sweets back and left. read more

Some heaven for candy lovers! They do have a vaaaast choice- you will definately be tempted by some sort of chocolate or gummies. The design of the shop takes you to some pirat island with sweet treasures. This is a dream not only for small ones :-) read more

There is nothing except the presentation of their candy that is worth a visit. More guards telling you what and what not to do than in a jewelry store. The candy itself is of low quality and nowhere near fresh, the service is arrogant and why prohibit photos, must be a marketing failure in this day and age. read more

Captain Candy - Despite the photo prohibition I managed to snap a shot. - Candy Stores Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Wide selection of candy but really bad staff attitude. One of them almost went mental when I took a shot of their store. And she kept asking me if I took a photo of her to which I assured her that I've deleted all photos. Come on, you're not Czech's next top model! read more

I was in need of something sweet and went to captain candy. I sampled many different sweets and to my surprise.... all gummy's had the texture of petrified whale blubber and could not be digested. Generally I seek to find the positive in all things but in the end the best I can think of is at least I didn't crack a tooth. I would suggest not purchasing any candy here and spend your money elsewhere. Also for all of you petrified whale blubber lovers out there, I would suggest consuming the captains breakfast which is a gummy that looks like a cracked egg and was supposed to taste like peach but turned out to taste like absolute regret. read more

Ridiculously expensive and you just realize it after you are told the price in the cashier's desk! The price per kilo is hidden somewhere in a wall drawing and of course this is not a price you expect for a candy. Don't even think about filling up the big paper bag (which is the only choice you have by the way). I find the selling tactics very dishonest and I am pretty sure there must be some CZ regulation against it. I really liked Prague but this experience didn't leave me with a very sweet taste after all. read more
