We were walking by, and we saw this sign saying they had chocolate Dubai bars, of course we had to go and get some. Also a lot of variety of candies, you grab a little basket and the price will depend on the weight, we got some mango chili, banana, watermelon, strawberry, and some other flavors. Great cashier, really nice guy. read more

Munchies Candy looks like it should be amazing, but even though at first blush they seem to specialize in old timey candy, they actually carry very little that's unique or interesting. Their selection is fairly basic and the amount that's available is small as they use boxes to disguise how much product they actually have on hand, which gives the candy a leftover from many Halloweens ago aged vibe. The service was disinterested and cold, which was especially showcased when a friend of the cashier came in and she gave them an incredibly warm greeting. Overall, with poor service and wares it's an absolute skip. read more

Not much I can really say here. I mean it's a candy shop. It's not huge and they don't have a ton of candy but they do have a pretty good variety of taffy. They also carry a few different types of Dubai chocolates so if you're looking for that too you're in luck. The woman working the register was very pleasant and although she didn't know how to describe one of the items I was looking at I'm glad she was honest about never trying it and didn't try to trick me into buying some. read more

The sweetest couple owns this candy store. Every time I visit, it feels like being welcomed into their home. They are incredibly kind and hospitable, and I love supporting local businesses like this. Plus, the Dubai Chocolate and Persian Ice Cream is amazing! Please be kind to them when you stop by. I wish more businesses were like this in Sausalito. read more

I'm a sucker for candy shops. They have a very big selection of candy. I bought a pistachio bar and a Dubai chocolate bar. The older gentleman helped me and he was so friendly. read more

Pleasant candy store ambiance, with quick and friendly service. My lovely bride says their salt water taffy is absolutely fabulous. Highly recommended. read more

No trip to Sausalito would be complete without a visit to this adorable candy shop. All the candy you expect to them to have and more, all stored in old oak barrels. The owner is a patient and kind older man behind the counter and reminds of the old fashioned gentlemen you would imagine running a Willy Wonka era chocolate shop. Great way to top off any stroll along the water! read more

Great and affordable variety of candies! We got a bag of dark chocolate salted caramels and the kids got some a salt water taffy. It was so fun to get a little barrel and fill it with different things to be weighed. They had lots of old school and hard to find candies. The customer service was amazing too. The older gentleman was very kind and happily allowed the kids to get a sample. I can't believe I used to go to Sausalito as a child and walked past this place so many times and never went in. Well it will be a staple from now on for my family when we visit. Love this place! Next time we have to try the fudge! read more

My absolute favorite candy shop! I would highly recommend checking out this candy shop if you're visiting the area.

Cool place to get your candy experience going on. Brought my kids in here they loved it and the owner was so nice to them. Be careful you'll be munching on lots of candy for the next hour. read more

Compared to the other candy stores in the area, this is the most affordable my bf and I could find (trust us, we're broke college students!). So for those with kids or just craving taffy for themselves, definitely make sure to stop by. There are so many interesting flavors to choose from but just lots of candy in general. Instead of your typical modern namebrand candies, you can also find things like those random strawberry candies or licorice. read more

Munchies Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Sausalito, California

I like the salt water taffy, it's $4.50 per pound, and I got nearly a LB and it was enough pieces to eat and share, so was fair to me, given you could mix n' match flavors and get a nice assortment. It's located in the heart of the tourist crawl of Sausalito, so I'm sure a lot of families take their kids here and it's a nice place to visit. Sure, the candy is priced higher (I'd refrain from using the term "overpriced") than what you'd pay at similar stores in the mall or let's say getting pre-packaged candies at the supermarket... but guess what? - - So is the rent :) - - meaning... this location is a prime location with a lot of overhead and provides the convenience. The quality of the candies were fresh and good, some were unique, others were commonly available at retail. So, if you know what 1 lb weights and don't buy so much heavy stuff, you can come in and get out for under $5 with enough candy for 4 people to snack on. It is CASH ONLY, so know that coming in. read more

I love love love salt water taffy and Munchies definitely fulfilled that want. It's just rows and rows of barrels filled with taffy. They also had some other varieties of candies, but to be honest, I didn't pay attention. I got a pretty fair amount of taffy and it only cost me $4.50. It'll definitely last me a little while. There is a huge variety of flavors, but some are definitely better than others. Cash only! Try to avoid buying candy that you can find in other stores (prepackaged ones especially), the mark up is kind of ridiculous! read more

Cute candy store right on the main strip in Sausalito. Lots of old fashion favorites like salt water taffy,root beer barrels other hard candies all in many different flavors ... most items are stored in these large barrels. Surprised to see the Charleston chew bars come in different flavors, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Seems that the salt water tafy was the most popular, Iv'e never seen so many flavors. Many different shapes and sizes of gummy candies. Prices were high, but it is a specialty store. Open daily 10am-7pm Great tourist attraction, very crowed store. read more

I'm not a big fan of taffy, but their taffy is GOOD! I'm not even supposed to be eating this stuff! My orthodontist would shit bricks if he ever found out I was eating taffy! I have braces so I can't chew on it or else it'll get stuck on my brackets. I have to let the taffy melt in my mouth. Its like eating Now-and-Laters. Remember those? Anyway, If you're ever in Sausalito, you should definitely hit this place up. The lady in the store kept telling everyone "Feel free to sample whatever you like." She shouldn't have told me that. Before I left the store, I helped myself to 5 different flavors. SsSssHhHh...don't tell nobody. If we didn't have to go, I probably would "sampled" more and accidently put them in my pocket. hahah. This is a cute little store. There are barrels and barrels of taffy and candy! If you ever wanna take a trip down to nostalgia, come here! I saw sixlets, apple heads, pop rocks, abba zabba, sour belts, peachie-o's, gummy bears, licorice, and all the other good stuff I grew up eating! I felt like a giddy child in a candy store. Wait, I AM in a candy store! I ended up getting 4 bags of chocolate gummy bears and sixlets. My bf's mom bought some taffy. I just ate most of the taffy she bought along with my "free samples." read more

Had an awesome experience here- I showed up WELL after closing (like 1 hour!) but knocked anyway due to a candy "emergency" for an upcoming toddler birthday - Sam and his wife not only let us in but reopened bins for us, helped us find things, and treated my toddler like royalty. They were delightful and the store had everything we needed - from Pez refills to candy necklaces to giant lollipops and cotton candy. I am so grateful - will definitely be doing all my local treat shopping here from now on! read more

A good place for saltwater taffy and production sweets, some hard to find these days. They had Charleston Chews which I don't remember seeing in a store in ages. read more

Owners were RUDE RUDE RUDE. I don't think they liked my naturally caramel skin and dark hair if you know what I mean. Who would ever walk into a candy store and think of bad service, especially walking in with kids super excited. After walking around the fairly small store and checked out all the taffy flavors and novelty candy, I got in line. A family in front of me had amazing service. I was next. As I stood in line I thought what a cute older couple, owner owned (assuming) and thought how wonderful that was. The older man (assuming was the lady's husband) took my basket (5 pcs of candy and a package of gummy candy) and slammed the candy on the metal weight scale. I didn't see it happen as I was grabbing my wallet but definitely heard the 5 pcs of candy get slammed against the scale. I didn't think anything of it until I smiled at the older lady and she gave a forced smile and her husband never once looked at me. Where as the family ahead of me received small talk and polite conversation. The only words spoke were "Five dollars". As soon as I walked away, I heard the older gentleman say to the lady behind me "hello my friend!" with enthusiasm. I mean really? Thats called SELECTIVE customer service. With a capital R. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE read more

This is the cutest candy shop and it is located right off the water in downtown Sausalito. They have the most delicious candy! They have an assortment of chocolates and sour candies, but what they are most known for is their salt water taffy. The owners are the sweetest people. It is a small family owned business. This is definitely a hidden gem in the Bay Area. I have been a customer for years and will keep going back whenever I visit Sausalito. They also have a website for your convenience, so now you can buy their candy wherever you are in the US. They ship all over the country! Please visit www.munchiesofsausalito.com you will not be disappointed!! I promise you! read more

This is a great little candy shop in downtown Sausalito with an outstanding selection of taffy. They probably had upwards of 20 flavors to choose from and some unique selections such as maple bacon. The taffy was soft and chewy and left my dental work in tact which can be a challenge sometimes in finding good taffy. I thought their prices were great and we also had a good time browsing some of their unique candy selections as well. read more

Honestly I spent a total of maybe 7 minutes in this little store, but it is such a charming place and staffed by an adorable older lady. My friends and I stopped inside for a quick peek while waiting for our table at Angelino's and were greeted very warmly. The lady behind the cash register invited us to sample any of the taffies and each of us ate a different flavor -- all of them were delicious. The mix of candies available in the store was pretty impressive. Although there was a wide variety of salt-water taffies, mainstream classics like Skittles and Sour Patch Kids were also available. One of my friends decided to take a walk down memory lane and bought a pack of warheads. We gave one to our international friend and watched in delight as she squirmed from the super sour taste. A great quick stop in Sausalito among the other stores! Not 5 stars because I didn't spend enough time inside, but definitely left a good impression. read more

We had a FABULOUS impromptu visit this morning for our son's birthday! First time in an all out candy store for our 6 year old. We went early to beat the crowds of tourist. So many choices!!!! The Taffy is so tummy! We had a great conversation with the owners (Mom & Pop quintessential). Lovely people who took the time to engage the kids, not just sell products! Loved supporting a local in the pandemic! WILL return again and again! read more

Every time I come to Sausalito, I rave about this place ... I talk about the owner, the view and how if I ate 1 piece of every candy in the store ... it'd be about 6lbs of sugar. I was sad when I came in yesterday and I didn't see the sweet old man behind the counter that I was so looking forward to visiting. Instead it was a little old lady who kept announcing it was cash only and how all the candy was $3.79 for 1/2 a lb. When it came time to pay, I was saddened to learn that the old man passed away from a heartattack almost a year ago. How time flies that it's been that long since I last visited. It makes me sad when I see recent reviews for Munchies being less than 5 stars. I suppose it's hard to keep things the same when the only constant is change. The lady got a bit misty eyed when she told me of the owners passing and said she'd been working here for over 10 years. Maybe theres better selection to be had elsewhere, but Munchies always represented something more than just a candy shop to me. read more

Sweet lady was very welcoming and told us we could sample the taffy.. This place had quite the selection and next time I pass through I need to stop in again. read more

We really loved this candy store. It reminded me of old candy shops from when I was a kid. They have every kind of candy worth selling from the past 50 years. Classics like fudge and salt water taffy are staples but way better than we had--sw taffy flavors like caramel popcorn and passion fruit, and fudge that had layers of salted caramel and peanut butter. Wish I could have brought it back to NY but glad I couldn't because I'd gain a hundred pounds. read more

Munchies Candy - Yummiest salt water taffy! Stop by here every time we are in Sausalito. - Candy Stores Near Me - Sausalito, California

At first glance this place looks awesome! You've seen them before at many tourist spots- Grab a basket, stock up on tons of tiny candies, pay by the 1/2 Pound... I love these kind of candy stores. They have a pretty nice selection of loose candies here as well as a nice selection of salt water taffy. Along the walls they have some candies wrapped up in little bags- Chocolate Gummy Bears, Chocolate Raisins, Swedish Fish- They're not marked or wrapped fancy, but they're placed right along with all of the loose candies. I fill my basket with all candies, loose and wrapped. I approach the counter to pay- and i swear the lady working there yanks the basket out of my hand as I give it too her. I think nothing of it, maybe she didn't mean too... She drops all of my candy onto her scale and begins separating the bagged candy. I wonder why she's doing this? She rings me up at a whopping $16! I only had a little bit of loose candy, and about 5-6 bags of wrapped candy. As she's does this her phone rings. It must be one of her friends because she immediately begins to shoot the breeze with this person and completely ignores me standing right in front of her with money in hand... I'm talking about mid-transaction she completely abandoned me! I swear at least 30 seconds later she peers up at me with an annoyed look on her face and asks her friend to hold. I ask her "Excuse me, but why is the price so high? How much are the bagged candies?" She tells me they are $1.25 each! So i was like "That's o.k., I don't need the bagged candies then..." and i swear she lets out a very audible sigh, right in my face! LOL i couldn't believe how rude she was being... The problem i had with Munchies was their customer service and their pricing. The price for a 1/2 Pound of candy here is $3.79. The signs CLEARLY say all candy is $3.79 per 1/2 Pound. For the wrapped candy i wanted to purchase, there were NO signs indicating that i would be charged any differently for them. The whole time i was browsing and picking candies in this place i was thinking to myself, "Wow I'm gonna give this place 4-5 stars on Yelp! Candy is awesome! I'm having Fun!" But after my encounter at the register it quickly changed. Funny, even though I'm giving it 2 stars i WOULD recommend checking this place out. I mean, don't DRIVE here or anything, but if you're in the area you might as well get your candy on! I mean all this place does is sell candy, and who doesn't like candy? Just be advised that the wrapped candy is $1.25 a bag and not apart of the $3.79 deal(even though it isn't mentioned) And that lady gets annoyed easy... read more

This is one of the few places out there that deserves 6 stars. I've been coming here since I was a kid and thank god it's still around. How many candy stores let you take as many free samples as you want? How many offer barrels and barrels of old fashioned candy at cheap kid-on-allowance prices? How many have the friendly gentleman behind the counter who has been there for years and years and who treats every customer, no matter how jaded, as if they were his own grandchild? I love this place. read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said? The owner was a friendly gentleman, encouraging sampling, as well as stocking some delicious candies that I didn't know existed any more. If you're working or visiting or anything in Sausalito, come on by and take some candy for the road. Since everything wonderfully amazing was said about this place already, I'll contribute my 5 stars; most deserving! read more
