Fill your own bag of saltwater taffy, there are chocolates, truffles, popcorn, so many delicious things and they're all pretty delicious. We usually get taffy and truffles. They do charge a credit card fee here so bring cash if you're as averse to these as I am. This is such a fun store though that don't let that deter you.

Used to be good. But now it's just over priced nasty candy. I actually heard the old lady behind…read morethe counter say chocolate is good for at least two years. Makes me wonder just how old all that candy is. I doubt it's highly trafficked anymore. In my opinion it's a major rip off and not worth the stop. Go anywhere else. The women running it are sloppy as well. Not very presentable and certainly unprofessional. ETA: heard recently from a friend that she bought hollow chocolate bunnies and her kids found MAGGOTS inside them. Gross!!!!! Another ETA: A relative of mine walked in to attempt to get candy for Valentine's Day. She was so incredibly grossed out by the smell of smoke and absolute filth in this place. Dirty candy molds, old crap everywhere and the office looked like a hoarder lived in it. The lady behind the counter was moving so slow no one was checked out in the 5 minutes she gave it and in that 5 min is when she made the observations and left. How has this place not gotten shut down?!

Miriam was more than kind, especially since I wasn't a customer...yet! She tried to be as helpful as possible in helping me find the store I was looking for. She even went to ask the employees next door on my behalf! We started up a very pleasant conversation. I confess, everything looked so good, I just couldn't leave without buying something! I bought a bag of mint & chocolate malt balls for later in the day. They were really good and I wish I had also bought another bag. I came back to to the store a little while later to take some pictures so I could do a Yelp review. Miriam wasn't there but I spoke with her husband. He was very nice too. I was from out of town and he kindly shared some history of the boardwalk and the shop. It's been around for decades! The shop had a big variety of candy, it was spotless, and I think the prices were fair for quality candy.

Moving out of Jersey in 2004, the trips dwindled to twice a year, just enough to hit the boards and make the pilgrimage to Sawmill and Berkeley. The salt water taffy has the PERFECT mouthfeel, with many yummy flavors. My standouts are chocolate, cherry, peach and blueberry. 5-6 boxes later, our friends and neighbors out West can't wait for their fix! My other obsessions are: -The chocolate non-parielles are fresh and delicious. (Milk, Dark, Peanut Butter) -The candied fruit slices are also a must. -The molasses paddles are always fresh and satisfying. In sum, I love this place! -

It was so delicious, I came back the next morning for an Açaí Cup. I ordered this one with no banana and extra granola. 10/10. Also can we talk about this Labubu Apple because how adorable!!
