It smelled great like candy popcorn but not so overwhelming either. It was a nice smell. The guy who helped was quick to greet us and get us what we needed. We chose toffee caramel covered apple and a chocolate toffee candy square. The candy square was good but goodness it was a bit hard for me to even break so little nibbles we took. The caramel chocolate covered apple we got was so good.

I've never been here when there's not a crowd, so be prepared for a bit of standing around and waiting your turn. There's no line, per se, just the honor system of first come, first serve. The wait has never distracted from the experience of visiting this shop. It always gives me time to decide what I want. And there's so much to choose from! Dipped apples Chocolate candies Jelly candies Fudges Popcorn Ice cream Saltwater taffy They also have sugar-free options. Between the mouth-watering aromas, the tempting variety of confections, the old-fashioned decor and the staff who tirelessly waits on the never ending line of customers, I highly recommend this sweet little candy shop.

I ordered the…read morechocolate lover's milk shake (small) for $12.99, but most small ice cream sundaes were $14.99. Ice cream prices go up from there. Some people (like me) were given a buzzer thing that was supposed to let you know when your ice cream was ready to pick up at a separate counter. Some people where just asked their names and their names were called when their order was ready. Unfortunately, the person taking my order forgot to enter it into the computer system until I asked if my buzzer thing was working because it had taken an awfully long time to get a simple small shake. If you are able to find a seat outside at the rear of the store overlooking Monterey Bay the view is awesome, but there is not much of a view from inside seating nor the courtyard seating in the front of the store. They need an assigned person to patrol both inside and outside eating and seating areas since there is such a high volume of customers, the eating and seating surfaces need to be better cleaned. The shake was OK, nothing spectacular and it was less ice cream than milky (I saw them adding liquid to the ice cream machine just before my order was prepared so maybe it had not had enough time to freeze properly). As with most Cannery Row businesses there is no parking close by. This business does not seem to have any bathroom facilities nor anywhere for parents to wash off the sticky sweet treats from the hands and faces of their kids.

It's super soft with a deep chocolate taste, lots of flavors to choose from such as german chocolate cake, cookies and cream etc or classics like milk chocolate and dark chocolate etc. The sign says 1/4 pound minimum for fudge purchases. So I chose 2 flavors and asked for 1/8 pound of each, which would total the minimum requirement of 1/4 pound fudge. However, worker clarified that the sign meant 1/4 pound minimum for EACH flavor. Ended up choosing the Rocky Road chocolate and I was so delighted to eat it! Highly recommend the fudge, can't recommend anything else here really.
