Back in the day there used to be a Fuzziwig's Candy in Irvine... but those days are long gone! Called in here on a recent visit to Coronado and was delighted to find some of my favourite imported sweets, as well as American staples. I like the fact that there are still candy shops around -- although not many of them. I know we're supposed to cut down on sugar and all that, but there's something nice about a candy store. America's pastime! 2024: 84/100 read more

Futtwigs is a total sugar dream for both kids and adults. The moment you walk in, you're hit with that strong candy shop smell. They've got everything from classic favorites to fun treats you've never seen before. The staff is super friendly and will help you find anything you may be looking for. Whether you're a gummy lover, Jelly Belly lover, a chocoholic, or just a kid at heart, you're bound to find something you'll enjoy. Can't wait to go back and try more of their homemade treats. Their Coronado treat was delicious but next time I think I'll try their fudge. read more

hi i had a horrible experience here. the big manger with glasses made a rude comment about me looking through the squishes. i was not doing anything wrong but he still decided to say rude things and it hurt my feelings. who every runs this place needs to get his attitude in check. He made other weird remarks to other customers and he ruined the rest of my day. i will never come back again. read more

When traveling with my wife, we seek out all the candy stores. This was one that we've been to a couple of times and it never lets us down. It's got a little bit of everything for anyone, including caramel covered apples, which is what I was looking for today. It was delicious and they cut it for us so we could enjoy it while sitting on the bench outside. I sat on that bench for a short while so my wife could browse and pick up all the candy needed for the rest of our trip. I enjoyed watching people's faces as they walked by, saw the giant blue M&M guy and many of them made a beeline for the entrance. Everyone loves candy. read more

Fuzziwig's Candy Factory - the front window - Desserts Near Me - Coronado, California

Great place to go, friendly and lots of products bring back memories of our childhood growing up. We loved it and will be back

Went there yesterday as my kids were so excited when we walked by and saw Labubus in their display window. In their Instagram account I saw they told someone that they sell both real and fake Labubus. When we were looking at them in the store, a worker told us which ones were real and which ones were fake. The fake ones were priced at $25 and the "real" ones $50. You can scan Labubus to see if they are authentic. After my kids opened the box I scanned the QR code of the Labubus and they are fake! We spent $100 (way overpriced already as they are $27 if you can get them through Popmart) on fake Labubus. I don't have a picture because I checked too many times but it said "verified authentic by paopao" which is not Popmart. The domain for the website looks like the real Popmart but it isn't. And you can see the date in the background says 06-29-25 and it should show the current date. So disappointed. They should not be advertising they are real when they are not. And if they didn't know themselves that they are fake, they are! Please don't advertise to people they are real. We have several real Labubus from Popmart and that's why I know to scan and what the real domain is. UPDATE - I contacted the store and the owners promptly gave me a reimbursement. They were very nice and understanding and wanted to make things right. read more

I used to live in Coronado, CA, and I loved Fuzziwigs! If you are getting any type of candy Fuzziwigs is the place to go! They have Candy, Toys, and more!! The location of this store is right where it should be, near everything!! The service is very good and they are very friendly and kind there! They have plenty of options to choose from. It is a tiny store but that doesn't change how good the candy is! Love this place!!!!!! read more

Very hard to beat store with candy u can actually trust! Amazing assortment of favorites as well as special treats like fudge toffee specialties. Owner friendly, and runs a beautiful business. Was so happy to support a small business and will definitely be back on this vacation! read more

Great selection and I highly recommend the Coronado Crunch! We had a great talk about national league baseball with the employees as well.

The guy who owns this store is very friendly and the store is clearly home owned and very personal. We went in for dippin dots but ended up also getting some salt water taffy, gummies, etc. the fudge looked amazing and they had a lot of other interesting looking homemade treats. They had a lot of candies including candy cigarettes that were very nostalgic. I can see why everyone comes here as we saw a lot of people with fuzzwig bags. If you ever read the Roald Dahl books about candy shops (wonka, giraffe and the Pelly and me) this place reminds me of them. read more

When you have a special place that you can travel to and haver the beast time and to enjoy the beauty and the many roses of the Island of Coronado there is so many things that you can spend you day and have the best lunch to take with you. There are times when you want to have something that can be salty and sometimes can be Dark Chocolate of the many great places that made their own type of sweets and the special Sweet and Salty and the sweet smooth taste of Saltwater taffy. So many places that have their own special recipes and the many that have been used for over many changes were changed over the years to the many different owners. When I had taken a day and went over to the City of Coronado, I had seen the many stores that have their many kinds of baked goods and the sweets that many of the stores have them own. The strange thing was when I was walking through the main street of Orange Ave, I had gotten a chance to get a look at the many shops that makes Orange Ave famous when I had seen the Yellow M&M Character which was strange to have outside. When I had got closer to the location there were many people waiting inside, so I just walked around and looked at the many products they sell there. I was that the store was a coffee shop half toy store but when you go to a place that has so many toys and the large case which had many brands of homemade chocolates and the many dipped fruits. If you remember when Charlie had walked into the candy store and had that last coin that he had seen the many candies and chocolates he asks for a Wanka Scrumdeliumpsious the long candy bar revealing the golden ticket the surprise. The store there on Coronado reminds me of the English style store when you go to Fuzziwig's Candy Factory it has that feeling of the Charlie and the Choclate Factory. The many years of historical locations that the Island has the many tastes your day may have when you have a craving for chocolate dipped pineapple and the popular pretzels. The specialty that brings back so many memories is the freshly made fudge and the taffy brings back the sweet taste of the old days. As a Yelp Elite reviewer during the old days there was so many sweets when you come to Fuzziwig's your memories come alive the many memories of the sweet treats that you had when you were younger. The sweets of the Island have so many memories to share with so many others when you can sit by the ocean and enjoy a great tasting piece of saltwater taffy. read more

Today was my family's first time visiting Fuzziwig. We were all in awe of the amount and variety of candy, chocolate, fudge, and other fun items available! We purchased rock sugar, Korean soda, banana dark chocolate truffle, and Australian Glazed Apricots (my new favorite!). The counter service was fantastic, and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Second time visiting here and both times the guy who owns it/works there was super rude. My husband was buying candy and as he is checking out, my 2 year old son was playing with the toy cars on the floor (keep in mind no one was in the store at the time) and the owner tells him "hey can you put those back?" In a very rude tone and I politely say "sorry he doesn't understand" and he says "I don't want someone slipping and falling on those" then walks off. Like what? lol Not friendly, not nice, doesn't care about your business.. get candy from the gas station atleast the employees aren't like this guy. read more

If you love candy and chocolates you have to come here. It was always fun and exciting as a kid to go to the candy store and pick out something. This place does not disappoint. Large variety of diff types of candies, chocolates, gummies, jelly beans, and anything in between. I walked away with some salt water taffy (big selection) some old school hubba bubba gum and a white chocolate sprinkle covered Twinkie. They also have a HUGE selection of diff types of chocolates, truffles, chocolate covered items (pretzels, oreos) if you're in Coronado don't pass this small place up! read more

Fuzziwig's Candy Factory - ALL THE BEST CHOCOLATES!! - Desserts Near Me - Coronado, California

What a great store! Walking into this store brings me back to my greatest childhood memories. This store feels like what I would imagine Willy wonkas chocolate factory would be like. Filled floor to ceiling of every candy one could ever dream Of. They have prepackaged candy to keep everything cdc complaint and sanitary. Candy, ice cream, truffles and more. I had...ready for this... hand dipped chocolate covered Twinkie. It should be illegal it's so good. I've been in a couple times during the pandemic. All of the staff is so sweet and helpful and very respectful. I believe it's a family business which is even more wonderful. I will be back for that Twinkie again someday! read more

I'm pregnant and have been craving caramel apples. I got to the shop too late and they had already closed, but whoever was closing saw us looking through the windows and came out and still let us get our apples. He didn't have to, but he did and he was very sweet! I will definitely be going back to get more apples. I'll also make sure I get there on time before they close. :) thank you sir for making my night. read more

The last couple of times we went to Coronado, we've stopped in here for turtles and toffee. It's all so good! I usually wish I'd bought more. The workers are always really nice too! Will be back the next time I visit Coronado. read more

A tight space but cute spot. Not more than 1 person can fit down the small aisles at a time. Service I would give about a 2 star but the candy was varied and fresh. I have to give the candy a 5. So yummy. Especially the raspberry gummies. Like most similar places, the candy is about $14 a pound so choose wisely!!! What a location they have. Right on the main drag in the heart of the village. Thanks to Yelp for helping me find this place. read more

My fiancé and I revisited this store after having bought $40 worth in the past. However, this time we had our little corgi with us which he held in his arms to make sure it wouldn't touch anything. The cashier guy without speaking a single word rudely pointed at our dog, then at the door... to which we just left without buying anything. If he had kindly used his mouth to ask us to leave the dog outside, we would've happily respected and obliged. But because he used his fingers in a rude way and didn't even bother to speak to us, he lost us forever as customers! There are many great shops in Coronado with much kinder service!! My fiancé and I pay a lot in stores who are kind to us. read more

I wish I can give you zero stars, I always come to your place but today both of you were not normal. I asked you politely to give me the dipping dots your tone and your answer was not friendly at all. And unfortunately your kid learned your bad attitude. read more

Wanted to come here for caramel apples but apparently they close at 7pm, not 8pm. It's a good thing I called beforehand to double check! Other than that, this is a really cute candy store. If you love candy and chocolate, this is a great small business to visit. The staff is always super friendly whenever I've interacted with them. Will definitely be back whenever I have a sweets craving! read more

This candy shop was packed full of candy, toys, and people. Although we didn't try any of the candy on this visit, the chocolate smelled amazing here. This store is so cute. My son and I loved looking at all of the Legos and stuffed animals. They had fun items stacked all the way to the ceiling. I also spotted some delicious vintage candy here. If I lived in Coronado, this would definitely be my favorite place to find adorable toys and great candy for family and friends. Although this store was crowded, the service was good. I think this may be a family owned business because all the locals seemed to know the owners well. This store seems to be a favorite of those who live right here in Coronado. This store is also walking distance from The Del. If you're staying at the resort, it's a quick walk for some delicious candy and fun items for the kids. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Everything in there is so fun. Back in the day, they used to have a sugar dispenser. I've been going there for ages, and i will continue supporting this business. Very great service and extremely kind employees! read more

Dude, this store is PACKED with candy. Holy smokeronies. I'm so glad I'm not a fat kid because every single corner is filled with candy, chocolate, eyecandy goods they make, and more stuff you really shouldn't ever eat regularly. Holy smokes, talk about an explosion of colors and smells and... I'm glad I walked out before buying anything. I'm never tempted by candy, but THIS, was the devil's playground. read more

If you are looking for a candy shop and good service, don't waste your time at this establishment. The owner or manager, seems to be in his mid fifty's, and is a real jerk with a big chip on his shoulders. Terrible customer service and clear lack of respect for customers. My family and I will be buying our candy somewhere else from now on. read more

This gem of a confectionery store is now a must stop whenever we catch a matinee at Lamb's next door. The truffles are very fresh and delicious. Its not overwhelmingly sugary. The flavors are very distinct. We also had smores and some fudge. Yum. read more

Not sure why last family had issues with owner but he's pretty awesome and kind of wants people to follow social distancing rules. Not that difficult. Just do it. Candy is fabulous and service is quick and easy. We come every summer and it's a weekly (I won't admit to daily) visit. Be well Fuzziwig's. This Phoenician appreciates your business! read more

As a group of 12-14 families, we ride our bikes from Silver Strand to Fuzziwig's every Sunday before Labor Day. The older lady (I'm guessing she's the owner) is always so patient with us and all our kids that pile in the store. We came this last Sunday and she was patient and helpful, as always. She gave me a huge block of her new flavor of fudge - Peanut Butter and Carmel - for our whole group to try and asked for feedback on it. I came back to the shop on Monday but she wasn't there so I'm writing the review here. It was phenomenal! Everyone loved it. I would buy it and recommend it, no question. My other favorite candies are the chocolate "Coronado Crunch" and the dark chocolate sea salt caramel. Oh my gawsh, so good! Thank you for your generosity and incredible candies year after year. Fuzziwigs is the highlight of the weekend! read more

I would like to start this review off by saying the store is incredible. when you walk in, it's truly magical, the smell, the decorations, it brings you back to your childhood. You may be asking why I'm leaving a two star review, well let me explain. My friends and I were spending an afternoon in Coronado Island playing volleyball. The whole day we were there I was begging them to visit this candy shop that I loved so much and finally, they said yes. We made our way to the Candy shop and I was looking for a particular Candy: gummy balls that are the shape of the planet Earth. I walk in the store telling my friends I'm looking for gummy balls as I didn't know that they were gummy earth balls. I spend a few minutes searching for this, and finally my friend decides to go up to the old man working there and ask, " do you have any gummy balls?" I will admit it was quite unprofessional to ask in that manner and my friends did let out a little giggle but me and the friend who asked the question had a straight face as the question was serious. The man responded, " I'm glad you guys think it's funny." We tried to reassure him that we were being dead serious and to ignore our friends. He then continued, " Well what do you think the answer is?" in an extremely rude tone. I was flabbergasted by his response. I didn't even know how to answer his rhetorical question. I chose to continue trying to describe specifically what I was looking for and said that they look like earth or something like that and I said I guess cause I wasn't sure. He said, "So gummy earth balls? Yeah we don't got those." So we walked out. At the end of the day mistakes were made by both parties, but I think that was no way to treat a customer who loves the establishment in which you are working. Sir you sucked the joy out of that store for me, remember that. I hope we both grow from this experience, and you can find more joy, especially when you work at such a magical place. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Now this is what I call a CANDY STORE!! Has the classics, but also so many dazzling new finds. Looking around this candy store was just as much as a treat as the actual candy itself! We came in close to closing and they were still so kind and happy to have us come in. If you're in the area you have to stop in, it's a true must-see. read more

We came in Wednesday evening. We had approximately $30-$40 worth of candy for my two kids. The guy at the cashier counter kicked my wife and two kids out because we had ice cream from another establishment. My wife told him we are buying a lot of candy and a he said you did not buy the ice cream here. I guess if we bought a water bottle from somewhere else and came into the store he would allow us to buy candy. Totally rude and clearly was not the owner because he would not treat his customers that way. If you treat your customers this poorly you don't deserve customers. Too many other places that will treat you with respect and take care of your family. I will never buy anything here again. read more

Very fun and original candy in this store!! They hand-dip chocolate covered candies and have some of the old nostalgic candies, as well as unique fun candy, not the same old same old. We got some of the good old rock candy crystals and a BIG textured cool large gummy snake. Other candies include the small, medium and huge jaw breakers, candy that looks like tennis balls, salt water taffy, the good old cigarette gum and so much more! read more

Here is a Candy Store with all sorts of Candy !! It even has Salt Water Taffy which is Fairly Good but a little expensive !! I decided to walk in after a Nice walk on the Beach of Coronado. Boy was a surprise!! This place is not so big but it does have a good assortment of Candies and Chocolates !! I would say it is a good place if you have a sweet Tooth and craving some Sugar. But I ended up getting some salt water Taffy and it was 12.99 a Pound so I just got a little just to satisfy my Sweet Tooth and I have to say good place and I for sure will return to try there other types of Candy . read more

Ok, listen up. This is the best place you will find fresh candy. I mean their fudge is * chef kiss. I recommend the rocky road. their chocolate m&m pretzels are the best. As well as the sea salt caramels. A little bit pricey and they don't accept credit card orders for stuff under a dollar. Still worth going. Especially if u are a tourist. GO THeRE!!! U will not regret anything. They also have cool gifts for kids their. You can actually see fresh candy being made sometimes. read more
