We perused around, but ultimately got a bag of salt water taffy that we chose from a wall of flavors; everything from apple to cotton candy. Each piece was soft, chewy, and true to its flavor. We also grabbed a bottle of root beer, one of the many vintage-style sodas on offer. THE PARKING. Metered street parking along the main strip. You may need to drive around to find an open spot, but as always in downtown San Clemente, double-check the signs and time limits. THE VERDICT. A charming destination for anyone with a sweet tooth or a soft spot for nostalgic treats.

I wasn't surprised by the prices, but I still decided to pick up some marinated carne asada and chicken thighs. Since I had a bit of a trek back home to Burbank, I asked for some ice, and the owner was kind enough to give us some! After grilling the meats, I have to say, wow, the flavor was absolutely delightful! Definitely worth the visit. If you're in the area, I recommend stopping by for quality meats and friendly service.

It's really disappointing because we drive there and look forward to them only to have one person eat one while the other watches with a different treat. The first time they were out of frozen bananas my husband was given a banana that wasn't frozen and the chocolate was all melted and dripping all over the place. Definitely not a satisfying cold treat. We found out somewhere else sells them as well AND they are cheaper. Hope this place starts stalking up and freezing them ahead of time

If you have a serious sweet tooth, this is a must-try, but for me, it was a bit too sweet -- almost like pure sugar. * Milk Chocolate Truffle -- Creamy milk chocolate center wrapped in a rich milk chocolate shell, with a smooth caramel filling. Perfectly balanced and indulgent. * Milk Chocolate Almond Cluster -- My favorite so far! Great balance of flavors with a satisfying crunch from the almonds. Service: The service was great. I mentioned it was my first time, and the lady behind the counter sweetly suggested I could get a thinner slice of the fudge -- such a thoughtful touch. Overall, worth visiting if you're a chocolate lover. I'll definitely be back to try more.
