Fantastic! Ahhhh all the taffy choices! So many great flavors! I love this Great prices too for a large bag Has Own parking lot
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!
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.
Every type of salt water taffy that you could imagine, all in one place! The servers were friendly, and the location and beach front ambiance certainly makes it part of the fun. :)
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.
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.
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.
A friend had us stop here and I'm so glad we did. So many choices - I haven't had taffy in years and year - had to be careful not to get it stuck in my teeth but yummy and fun.
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!
Patrick's is a sweet lover's paradise! Their saltwater taffy is fresh, chewy, and comes in a variety of delicious flavors with decent prices. The shop has a fun, nostalgic vibe, and the staff is friendly.
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!
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.
Can't recommend Patrick's enough! Big selection of fresh and soft saltwater taffy to pick from, and more candy too. Cute shirts and souvenirs in here too, check it out on the side of the 1 next time you're in Bodega Bay! Awesome spot
If you're going to buy salt water taffy, skip Kites and Candy entirely and drop by Patrick's of Bodega Bay. The service was incredibly upbeat and friendly and they had a massive (and I mean massive) section of salt water taffy and a smaller selection of general candy and clothing. I would have loved to have seen smaller bags of the different flavors because the sizing was a bit big for us, but overall we loved the vibes and the gorgeous pink color of the store, so we would definitely return, especially for the pog flavor! read more
I couldn't wait to stop in this super fun pink shop!! We made it in with 10 minutes to spare before closing time on a Saturday evening. The gal inside was super inviting and cheerful. She informed us about some of the different flavors of taffy. Seeing all the options was a little overwhelming, NGL. We settled on Maple Bacon (my favorite), Mango (his favorite) and a variety bag for my kids. I love savory candy so I thought the Maple Bacon was amazing!! The Mango was very well-received as well. Believe it or not, it's been a week and we haven't even opened up the variety bag yet! I didn't have time to look at all the fun novelty items, so we will be back by again for sure! 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

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
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
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
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

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

Are the individual flavors still packaged in little bags. I would like to try like one of a couple flavors so is that possible yet?
Mostly mixed, but they will put together what you want. Depends on what is on-hand when you are ordering. And, if on a weekend, it might be too crowded for them to customize for you. Suggest you order ahead, so they have time to put it together…
Does anyone know where the taffy is made?
According to whoever was working on June 18, 2024, they order their taffy from a maker in Salt Lake City, UT.
