We enjoy popping into the shops along Elkhorn Ave. There are plenty of gift shops, treat shops, and restaurants. Our family went in out of curiosity and they had yummy black cherry taffy samples (one per person) and the very kind woman at the register had wonderful energy. She was so friendly to our family and other customers. They have a large variety of flavors to choose from! Make sure to stop by this fantastic spot when you're in Estes Park! read more

We popped in here while walking around Estes! It was a great experience. We had kiddos in our group and the staff at the taffy shop were so kind and attentive. They even let them touch some of the taffy before it was stretched, which was so interactive and fun. There are so many flavors to choose from and walking around the shop choosing was memorable and sweet (literally). read more

Love the size options and being able to create your own little candy box! The flavors were so much fun and we were excited to make a little bucket for my dad. I love watching the taffy be pulled in the window and think it is a very fun touch. The employee was very nice. read more

Free samples, friendly owner, and also a cool taffy making machine. Vanilla sea salted caramel was so good and there was a huge variety of taffy flavors. read more

Some of the best taffy I've had anywhere. It's really hard to beat this place and highly recommended if you are into this.

This place is so cute! Small but delivers really good taffy!!! It's soft, chewy and has a ton of flavor!! We bought a 1lb fit each of my family members! My favorite is the cherry cola. Salted caramel and strawberry. It's honestly good taffy! read more

Purple Mountain Taffy - Candy Stores Near Me - Estes Park, Colorado

I was very surprised at the taffy. There are at least three taffy shops in town but i was happy with purple mountain. Sometimes they have free samples read more

Get the caramel apple. That's it. That's my review. No, I am kidding. Sorta. The taffy is good but that caramel apple will bring me back. Lots of soft caramel. The Granny Smith apple had just the right crunch. Seriously get the caramel apple. read more

We went in expecting to buy the little one a few pieces of cinnamon taffy, her favorite, and ended up being a pound (which we do not need!). There is a great selection of different flavors and we were too weak to resist. We did not count but there has to be at least a couple of dozen. So far, we've tried a few pieces and the flavors are spot on. The taffy is soft and fresh. Now the question is who is going to eat all this taffy? read more

Love taffy? Then this is the place to go. It's soft, silky, and shiny candy is full of flavor without that salty taste like some can be. I just stopped this on a whim with a friend of mine and decided to try it. I'm glad we did. We stopped by on a Saturday and I just wished the cashier was a little bit nicer. She had a bit of an attitude when my friend asked a question, but I'll still give the shop 5 stars because of the variety and taste. read more

We probably spent about $100 in taffy only for the cashier to be rude to us while we were checking out. And added an 18% tip to the bill on top of the taffy price? Not sure how this place has such good reviews with the outrageous prices and rude customer service. read more

I placed an online order to be delivered to some friends. I had the wrong address. I emailed them with the correct address to see if the order was returned would they re send it to the correct address. They sent a new order to the correct address! Great customer service and taffy as well! read more

Once I walked in to the store, it was amazing! Got a caramel apple and it was delicious! read more

This is one of two highly recommended salt water taffy shops in Estes Park, and I saw why immediately. We walked in and I was blown away by all the flavor options. 50 different flavors! I think we got a little sample of each and I loved each one :) Took photos of all of the options to help figure out which ones we were eating (would love if they put together a digital "cheat sheet" of the kids/colors). read more

Purple Mountain Taffy - Just a smidge of the options - Candy Stores Near Me - Estes Park, Colorado

Taffy was super soft and great tasting. The price is extreme though. $18 a pound. Also as we stood watching the taffy get made in the window, we noticed a ton of dead bugs and a live fly all over the inside of the window sill. Just curious how many bugs get intertwined with their taffy..... read more

Best taffy and jalapeno corn ever love all the little shops in Ruidoso NM I will be returning on my next trip out there

While in Estes Park, one of the hardest decisions you might have to make is to decide what candy store to visit. If you love Salt Water Taffy, than Purple Mountain is your holy grail. This taffy is out of t his world delicious. It has been a few weeks since I got back from Colorado and I miss that taffy so much. It was so fresh and delicious. It simply cannot be beat. With so many flavors, it was too easy to fill a bag full. Flavors ranged from the classics all to more interesting flavors such as huckleberry and molasses. My favorite though was the vanilla bean which actually had real specks of vanilla bean. Oh man, those were so good. Seriously, stop by Purple Mountain. If anything, you get a free piece to try just for coming in. You will leave with a bag though because that one piece will get you hooked. read more

Taffy is great here, unfortunately the female cashier with dark hair with red highlights and a septum ring decided to add an 18% tip to our bill without our consent. We won't be returning. read more

The taffy was perfect so soft and flavorful. It's def worth stopping by to get a box full of goodies.... read more

Taffy tastes old. The cinnamon taffy is over Flavored and burns your mouth when eating. Have to throw out @17.99 a pound All other flavors are to strong or have a funny taste Several other stores in Estes Park sell the taffy. The owner is also very unfriendly. read more

Excellent and super soft taffy. Many flavors to choose from and neve had such soft taffy

Best taffy I've encountered to date. So much softer than I ever imagined taffy could be, great selection of flavors, polite and friendly staff. I'm embarrassed to say that my wife and I ate our whole pound of candy in just a few days. Definitely buying more next time. Gotta stock up and bring it back home! read more

Taffy is tasty, but the last two times we've gone over half of the pieces would stick to the inside of the wrapper. This makes getting the taffy out of the wrapper without them becoming a total monstrosity nearly impossible. Each taffy you have a 50/50 chance of being pleased or frustrated. It's quite a fun game really! :) Try your luck! Or don't... maybe I'm just unlucky. read more

I really wanted to like this taffy! But it is just mediocre/average for me. I will say I prefer taffy that has a bit more "chew" to it. The taffy here is super smooth and easy to chew. So if that's you're thing, you'll probably like it more than I did. The flavor was also a little lacking for me. Staff was very friendly though! read more

When you have that many taffy shops to choose from, service is everything. We went in as a group and my husband started a conversation with the counter help. She was less than friendly. He, being the person he is, tried again to ask her a question about the taffy machine which is for show only and she responded rather rudely about the taffy not being for sale- which has nothing to do with what he asked. There's nothing special about the shop, no great specialty flavors, just bad attitude. read more

Favorite taffy shop in Estes Park and there are ALOT of taffy shops downtown. This store has a lot of delicious flavors from sour to fruity to creamy and chocolaty. The taffy also saves well as I have bought taffy at other stores in town and the taffy becomes hard after a week or so. However, this taffy stays soft fresh and chewy for a long time. I highly recommend trying this shop as they sell small quantities to large quantities and you can mix and match as many flavors as you want. Great present for yourself and others. Honestly, I could go for some right now. read more

Delicious and perfectly soft taffy in a plethora of flavors! So soft it won't rip out any dental work you've had done unlike some other more traditional old fashioned salt water taffy. A must stop when in Estes Park. The cherry is my favorite! read more

Purple Mountain Taffy - Key lime, raspberry, strawberry - Candy Stores Near Me - Estes Park, Colorado

Best place for taffy in Estes Park!! They not only have the biggest selection, and store, but the taffy is BOMB!! We were there for 3 days and made sure to go each day! Brought some home for friends and family and they now know how amazing fresh taffy is!! There are tons of candy shops on Estes and a hundred places to spend your money! Thai should be a first stop for you! If you want to mail me some I'll gladly play double....lol!! read more

Ok, I finally tried it. I put it off because this place looks just a little too "perfect" as an "original" taffy store in a very touristy town.... but I caved in today and tried them out and WOW. I see now that I have never had decent taffy before, and have missed out all these years. The caramel peanut butter and pecan ones are my favorites so far, but I grabbed a bunch of flavors to sample and have only tried a few so far.... But I have tried enough to give them 5 stars already! If you are at all tempted to try them, go ahead and try it. If nothing else, poke your head in and see what they have for the free sample. :) read more

Purple Mountain Taffy - The boys loved watching the taffy maker! - Candy Stores Near Me - Estes Park, Colorado

Best Taffy I've ever had! We stopped in for ice cream, that was delicious too by the way. I recommend wedding cake flavor. We picked up some taffy as a present after having a sample. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Estes. The service was friendly too. read more

Got a few pieces today (key lime, sea salt carmel, pear and cinnamon) all sooooo good so I'm making my hubby take me back for more this evening. Going back for more key lime and sea salt for sure and maybe couple other flavors since I don't think any are bad... definitely recommend this taffy!! read more

A little overpriced in my opinion but they can get away with it. Tried lots of flavors they were all yummy and soft. read more

If you don't know the song Laffy Taffy I'm sorry because that's all I could think of walking into this place; that and how much I wanted the taffy in my mouth. They had so many flavors! I grabbed a bag and started filling it up. The taffy was flavorful, soft and delicious. Only con was how expensive it was, but it's a tourist trap so I expected as much. I enjoyed a few too many taffy's on my flight home. read more

Thank goodness they had a sample of the day to taste test or I would not have bought their taffy! It is by far the best taffy I have ever tasted. It is the freshest, softest, most flavorful taffy. The Bing Cherry Vanilla had me at HELLOOOO! Delicious! The unfortunate thing for me is that I live in Ohio and yes, I can order online but not all the amazing flavors that they have to offer! This taffy has forever changed my life! read more

Went in specifically for black licorice Taffy because the store I usually buy from was out. Thank goodness I put a handful of buttered popcorn Taffy in because the black licorice taffy was bland, had very little flavor & not worth the $13 I spent. The buttery popcorn was well flavored & good, soft and delicious tho. As good as it is 10 pieces of good taffy was not worth what I spent! Disappointed that I didn't buy from a different shop. Halfway back to Denver & I'm wishing I had sampled before I bought! read more

This place has pretty good taffy, but it's a little too soft in my opinion. The flavor selection is great though, and I do enjoy the sour flavors because it is less sweet and I prefer less of a straight sugar taste read more

Literally the best taffy I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The place is clean and you have many options to chose from. The taffy is from another world - amazing quality. GO HERE!!!!! read more

The is the BEST taffy I have ever tasted. So creamy it melts in your mouth, not overly sweet like many I have tried. I have tasted taffy from Catalina, CA to Mackinaw Island, MI & I am telling u this is a must have. My favorite flavored were vanilla, blueberry cheese cake, & strawberry banana. read more

I am so pleased with this little store. We went through Estes Park this summer and discovered it. I have just ordered by phone this last Thursday and I got my order on Saturday. It was all I ordered and got here so quick. Their taffy is so fresh, chewy and delicious. I will both visit again and order by phone again and again.... Thank-you Estes Park Taffy Company. read more
