They've got a wide variety of flavors along the left hand wall as you enter, and it's a choose your own flavors, and fill the bag as you go experience. They've got artwork on the walls that looks like it may have been there since they opened in the 1940s, and their mechanical taffy puller / wrapper is still on proud display near the entrance as it cranks out treats for tourists. Working your way to the back of the store, the checkout experience is helmed by a pleasant young person, with information about Ainslee's history.

It was my birthday, so I stopped in to get some goodies. It's been years since I had taffy. This…read moreplace has a lot of different flavors of saltwater taffy to choose from. I got a good variety of flavors to try, along with two truffles. I felt like some of the taffy flavors were not as pronounced as others, but were still really good.. not hard or brittle either. The red velvet and birthday cake truffles were soft on the inside and tasted good, however, I would have preferred a much more rich flavor in both truffles. The older lady at the counter was very nice and friendly. She encouraged me to grab a birthday flavored taffy on my way out as a gift, which I thought was very kind of her. Considering the busier location, I felt the prices were reasonable. If you aren't a taffy fan, then perhaps the assorted chocolates and other offerings might be up your alley. Worth a stop inside!

Very cute place to buy different flavors of taffy. The lady was very nice and friendly.read more

It's hard to have anything bad to say about a candy store, I mean come on, what could be bad about…read morecandy! This store is no exception, they have delightful chocolates. I'm not a taffy guy so I didnt get any, but if you're into taffy then this is a sweet spot for you too. They have three sections, each with rows upon rows of buckets of different flavors of taffy. Also, they have a unique thing called "sweet corn soda." I didnt try it, because I am not really a soda drinker to be honest, but I want to try it at some point when I come back, at least to say I tried it. Anyway, they have all kinds of great things, you can see from my pics that my wife got me a truffle, which went great with my coffee from the snack place next door.

They also had chocolate and taffy, which my daughter got a small bag of their cotton candy salt water taffy. We ordered some ice cream for the kids, cotton candy, and by then there was a long line of people behind us. There were two teenagers working and the one helped us get the ice cream and check us out. The kids ate some of the cotton candy ice cream but didn't finish it all. May have been too cold and windy outside to enjoy it since that was the only place to eat it. I thought it was creamy and sweet but nothing special. I got the huckleberry cheese cake and wish there was more cheesecake pieces in it. My husband found me one good piece to try and it just wasn't enough.
