If you're a salt water taffy lover, this place is unbeatable! We stayed a few days in Bodega Bay on a recent vacation and this shop was recommended to us. SO glad we stopped! It's quirkiness is as fun as the variety of flavors they have-to be honest, it was a bit overwhelming. I think I would have driven my wife crazy if I stayed any longer to make my decision. The place is very tiny and a lot is crammed in that small space. The day we came, the person who waited on us wasn't terribly friendly or helpful, BUT...the taffy we bought was delicious and a surprisingly great bargain. I HIGHLY recommend the sour flavors. We were told they are among their most popular and now I know why! I can't think of one flavor we had in our variety sampler that wasn't enjoyable! read more

What's not to like?! this place is a legend! Ok, I do miss when all taffy was by the pound and you could pick a mix of any taffy you want but other than that it's a fun well known in the area candy store. If you don't know this is the pink and white taffy shop on Bodega HWY. it's been there my whole life that I remember and prolly long before that. The service is never bad but also never anything great or memorable that I remember. I go here for the taffy and nostalgia and will Always have to stop here when I'm in the area. read more

Patrick's of Bodega Bay is our must stop place on our semi-annual trips to the Mendocino Coast. The iconic pink and white striped building cannot be missed. Very small building but plenty inside to satisfy your sweet tooth. Good customer service and you will also find some old school treats such as Big Hunk and Abba Zabba. read more

We used to live in Sebastopol, Ca. and we would go to Bodega Bay, and our stop would be at Patrick's and get a big bag of saltwater taffy to take home. They have the best selection. Since then, we have moved to Klamath Falls, Or. and missed going there. I was so happy to find out that they would send them through mail, so I have order us some. read more

Cute spot in Bodega. Super small shop. It has a max capacity of 8 people. It felt a little claustrophobic and the trinkets for sale on the wall made the small space feel even smaller. The taffy is a good price though. This business also owns the gift shop just across the way. read more

The "salt water taffy" sign caught our eye as we were driving by, and the spacious parking lot made it convenient to make a stop on a Saturday afternoon after attending a festival nearby. Got an assorted bag of these sweet treats, a couple of the taffy pieces were not so fresh and chewy, but most of them were good. They offer more than just salt water taffy here, they have stuffed animals, t-shirts, various souvenirs, and chocolate! I, of course, got myself some chocolove, extra strong dark chocolate, with a sweet love poem inside the candy bar wrapper. Yummy! Service was standard, no waits, no problems. And the shop is really cute, and definitely cozy inside, situated right along the water in Bodega Bay. read more

I don't remember the last time I had taffy (maybe 7+ years ago.....?). Just haven't really had another chance to come across it for a really long time. So, you can imagine how thrilled I was to see so many different taffy flavors here lol. Was planning to choose 5 flavors in mini bags but ended up with 10 (and even then I wanted more but enough was enough). Got some of my go-to ones like Neapolitan and passion fruit. Nicest surprise out of the bunch that I got was the cookies and cream one (like a Tootsie Roll but with more milk taste). Least favorite one was the red velvet one (idk it just didn't taste like red velvet to me.....more like a weirdly tasting cream cheese frosting if anything lol). Very cute small taffy shack. The cashier lady was really friendly. The mini bags, 4 oz bags that contain roughly 13 taffy pieces, are $1.75 each. Of course there are much bigger bags for the ultimate taffy fans. Definitely check this place out for your taffy craving! read more

Such a charming little landmark! Located right on CA Hwy 1 in Bodega Bay. It's the go to and frankly only place to get some great taffy which lots of flavors to choose from. They also have other candy and Knick knacks. I picked up way too much taffy and I'm still eating it since I visited over a month ago. The inside is small, but there's not much to look at so you can make a quick pit stop on your way in or out of town. Staff is very friendly and helpful! read more

Eat outside. On the right side of the restaurant. Not left by the bathroom. Great crab sandwiches.

A MUST try when you stop in Bodega Bay. Every time, I head to the beach, on our return home, I swing by Patrick's to pick up a bag or two of their mixed Salt Water Taffy's. This time we picked up a few retro candies and bags of specific flavors of taffy (cotton candy, licorice, and watermelon). Very delicious taffy!! Patrick's is a combination of gift shop and candy store. They have Bodega Bay swag like T-shirts, Hoodies, Sweaters, Wind Chimes, Postcards, Stuffed Animals, Keychains, Memorabilia items. It's just an iconic cute little candy store by the beach and so nostalgic. read more

I reviewed this place 9 years ago, and still stands true today. Freshest salt water taffy around, hands down! Staff is always friendly, largest variety of flavors and the prices are way cheaper than any other place that sells taffy. I'm mailing some to NY and MI to my friends. Patrick's is the BEST! read more

I passed Patrick's of Bodega Bay a number of times on my way north exploring California coastal areas on Highway from 2016 to 2019. In mid-August 2019, I stopped and got a few bags of saltwater taffy. My parents had their wedding anniversary about a week later and visited me, so I gave them each a bag then as part of their present. The taffy was tasty and not too tough on my teeth. It held up just fine through my parents finishing eating it as well. read more

Patrick's is a classic destination in Bodega Bay. The pink and white building is cute and an aesthetically pleasing addition to a drive up or down the coast. They're usually busy when I visit, but customer service is friendly. I typically get a mixed bag. They have other classic candies, souvenirs, and drinks, but I stick with the taffy because it hasn't disappointed me in the decades I've been visiting. read more

I love coming here to get their saltwater taffy. Do not go anywhere else. Don't go to Santa Cruz or Sacramento lol. Trust me Patrick has the best candy in flavors to pick from. Get you a mixed bag of taffy's and surprise your taste buds! Thank me later read more

The taffy was really good I wish we could go back we were just passing through on a road trip but this place was on our must stop list it's located in a cute little fishing spot. Everything is also really decently priced we got a lot of taffy for pretty cheap overall highly recommend! read more

Look for the pink and white striped building... This cool little taffy candy shop is located right next to the Sonoma Coast Visitor Center along Highway 1. They are open for in store purchases and curbside pickup in addition to shipping! The store interior is tiny so they monitor a limited number of customers in store. I stood in line for my turn in the queue. When it was my turn I walked inside and it was like that classic holy sound of a choir singing AHHHHH! you know what I'm talking about... okay, maybe not that dramatic but my palate got excited LoL! I found a a great variety of flavors and picked up a few bags. They have every imaginable flavor combination of salt water taffy. How about maple bacon or chicken & waffle taffy... yes! they have these! Most are in 8-oz bags but there are some jumbo ones for the true salt water taffy lover. Soft and chewy with amazing flavors. Great pricing too! They also sell souvenirs and gift items, shells, tote bags, wind chimes but I never made it to that side. LoL There is parking available. Established in 1960 glad I finally made it to Patrick's Salt Water Taffy... better late than never ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Review #2177 read more

On a past trip to Bodega Bay and beyond, lol, I could not resist stopping by this cute pink building. Goal, get taffy for my mom. She loves taffy. I am not a huge fan but the flavor choices here are enormous! Loads of parking and it is located right off the highway. Choosing a flavor was so hard and I ended buying more than I could eat. Immediately upon walking in the smell is sweet and delightful. Plenty of cute trinkets too which I fought the urge to buy. Chocolate and other candy choices are available which is nice if you are not a huge taffy fan. I ended up getting a couple bags of variety taffies and continued on homeward bound on highway 1. This is a magical part of driving from Bodega Bay back towards Monterey. If you see this pink building stop by and satisfy your sweet toothe. You won't be disappointed. Cheers and happy Yelping. read more

Cute salt water taffy store right off the main road in Bodega Bay. Currently, the store only allows 8 individuals in to shop at a time and I don't blame them; their shop is tiny. We picked out various flavors of taffy and I truly enjoyed their coconut curry flavored taffy. I recommend this location to anyone in need of a sweet treat in the area. read more

Loved this little gem of a place! The atmosphere is so cute! They have just about every flavor taffy you can imagine! Prices were reasonable. My bf and I finished off a 3lb bag over a month ago and I'm craving another trip! Might just make this an annual thing now LOL. Thank you! read more

I always remembered seeing this salt water taffy store as a child whenever we would come and visit, definitely a staple of driving through Bodega Bay. So when we visited during Covid we had to make a stop and grab some taffy. Parking isn't too bad and they only let customers in one at a time for social distancing. I stopped by around lunch and it was a pretty foggy day. They had me sanitize and everything was pre packaged. The girls that were working didn't seem too friendly when I asked them a question in regards to other places open or fishing areas around the town. Maybe things change often? I tried asking what's pretty popular too and they just pointed to one of the bags so I got a variety mixed bag. I liked their assorted flavors especially their blueberry, orange, green apple, neopolitan, chocolate, peppermint, licorice, raspberry and you could pretty much figure out the flavors by the color. Definitely a staple if you have a sweet tooth passing through Bodega Bay and you can't miss the building! read more

If you're driving up or down Hwy 1 through Bodega Bay, stop at the pink and white striped building for a sweet tooth fix. Patrick's is taffy heaven with flavors such as salted caramel, watermelon, apple pie, peppermint, and even chicken and waffles! For the non-taffy folks, there are lots of candy bar options, along with caramels and brittles. Lots of parking off street. Takes cards, but note there is a minimum purchase of $5 to use a card. read more

A Bodega Bay experience is not complete without a stop to Patrick's Salt Water Taffy. You really can't miss them as it's the only bright pink and white building on the main road in and out of Bodega Bay. While the location is a bit small they sure do pack in a lot of options for taffy and other candies. Taffy options range from fruit flavors to seasonal to even some unique flavors too. They offer small to large bag options of taffy so everyone in your group can walk away happy with either a small taste or a whole lot of taffy. They really do have a ton of flavors to choose from. My favorite taffy is watermelon. They also have a smaller gift shop with clothing and unique gift options too. read more

While camping in bodega Bay, we stopped at the infamous taffy store. They had a tremendous selection of salt water taffy. We picked up several different flavors to sample including red velvet, s'more, chicken and waffles, birthday cake, chocolate peanut butter, and strawberry cheesecake. Some of the flavors were absolutely delicious - chicken and waffles was surprisingly good. But other flavors were severely disappointing like s'more. And some of the taffy was clearly very old to the point where you almost broke your teeth trying to bite into it ... But with all that being said, if you have a sweet tooth and you find yourself in bodega Bay, definitely come check it out. read more

Look at the photos. This is THE place to buy salt water taffy. Amazing quantity and variety. They are packaged all sorts of ways or you can do your own selection. They also have pre-packaged bags, great to buy if you have grandchildren in the car. By the way, leave them in the car and YOU bring back a bag of taffy. Kids will go crazy if they get inside and if you let them pick what they like, get your wallets out as their eyes will drive them to possibly gather more than they can carry. A bright pink building along Hwy 1 going into the town part of Bodega Bay. There is parking, but on weekends it is tough to get in and out. And you can order on-line at www.patrickssaltwatertaffy.com Be a kid again...look for the pink building. read more

OMG, this place is too cute! A must stop if you are a salt water taffy lover. There are so many different flavors of the candy. Wished I could've stayed longer to explore the different flavors of salt water but with Covid, it was difficult. There was a sign at the entrance that says "only 8 people in the store", other people were not adhering to that. So I grabbed what I wanted, paid for the items and out I went. Definitely need to come back here! read more

Happy we took that drive to Bodega Bay =) I had to see why would people stand in line on a cold windy day..well, happy to say that I stood in that line with them and it was worth it. I met a couple in line that says this is where they would drive to get their taffy because it's so delicious and you can taste the salt water. It's a small candy store and half of it is filled with assortments of salt water taffy...yum!! I didn't know what to choose but I got my fix. They have other types of sweets and knickknacks for sale as well. They're limiting the occupancy in the store and when it's your turn, you'll be asked to sanitize your hands at the entrance. There's parking on the side of the building. We'll be back for sure to try more flavors. read more

Every time we go to the beach Patrick's is an absolute must! The pink and white striped building has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I love how they pre bag the taffy in different sizes so you can get a small bag of one flavor and a bigger bag of another. They even have premixed variety bags of caramel mix, chocolate mix and dessert mix. This place has a huge selection at great prices for such a small store. It's a must if you're in the area. BTW the taffy is soft! Not hard like some places that get stuck in your teeth. read more
