Review: Sweet Experience at Candy World**
I recently visited Candy World and was impressed by their huge selection of candies and the variety they offer. The shelves were stocked with a delightful array of sweets, making it a candy lover's paradise.
I decided to try the fudge and had the pleasure of speaking with the lady who makes it fresh every day. The fudge was good and tasted great, with a rich, creamy texture. While it wasn't the best fudge I've ever had, I'd rate it a solid 7 out of 10.
Overall, Candy World offers a wonderful selection and a charming atmosphere. It's definitely worth a visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Lots of salt water taffy if you look for some!! Kinda not so good service tho? but if your look for a basic candy store, it has quite a bit of options!

Nice store. It is located in a very beautiful place. This pier is divine. The store is very nice and fun. A little narrow. Ice cream prices are good. We ate 6 ice creams. But the attention is bad. The girls are not very friendly and very slow. Thank you.

I’m no Karen but this place sucks and I’m mad I purchased anything from them. We went this evening 4/7/23. I walked in, I went to look at the confections. Picked a few and went to the counter to order. The worker had been standing there the whole time on her phone. I stood directly in front of her for a few minutes waiting for her to get off the phone and a line formed behind me. She rudely asked what I wanted and gave me one of the wrong chocolates which I didn’t even see until we got home. Normally I’d overlook this but the chocolates weren’t even good, we ate 1/4 of each and the rest away. Also so disappointing because they were $5 per chocolate. They look cute but were so waxy and just lacking in flavor, kinda tasted old. Horrified to find out some people have gotten sick from eating here, definitely avoid this place like the plague

They closed up 15 min before 9pm (closing time) and my 2 and 5 year olds literally sat outside crying because I promised them ice cream before we left. ??Luckily, the place right across the way, Wharf Chocolate Factory closed on time.. so they saved the day with delicious ice cream and of course we had to splurge on some chocolate clusters.

Don’t go to this place unless you want to get sick. The candy is older than Jesus and the storage practices are perfect for multiple generations of rats to enjoy. My girlfriend and I suffered the good ol’ “go number 1 out of the number 2” all night long. I over heard one of the younger workers complaining of stomach cramps while we were there. I should have let that be my first warning to run away…

Here in beautiful Monterey for the first time and we stopped at this candy store that literally called us in. Lol! So many choices to choose from. It is delectable candy heaven. My grandchildren would have a field day in here. So colorful, bright, and so much candy galore . They even had candy apples and fudge. So delightful and everything for your sweet tooth you can imagine. My husband loves spicy mango candy and that's what he selected. It was kind of pricey but everything is high nowadays. As far as service you have people at the counters that are waiting to ring up your order. They can answer any questions. Thank you and hopefully we'll see you again.

Right off the bat, it's a candy store. There isn't all that much that can go awry. They have a decent selection of candy. With a very good selection of taffy. Candy is sold by the pound with a quarter pound minimum. The price per pound was $17 in June 2023. I will point out that we stopped in quite a few candy shops this week and two or three before Candy World on the same day in Monterey. I'm only referring to candy shops that sold individual bulk taffy, and not just pre-boxed taffy. I will point out that Candy World on Old Fishermans Wharf was the most expensive per pound of the candy stores we visited in Monterey on the same day. The least expensive was on Cannery Row. The price difference between the high and the low three dollars per pound. ($14 vs. $17 per pound) Whether or not that matters to you is up to you.We of course walked out with some more taffy to join the other taffy we purchased else where. Candy World seemed like a nice store if you are into candy. Types of candy do vary and stores tend to vary on what the may carry. So keep that in mind and I kind of focused just of stores with bulk individual taffy available. Hope this helps in some way.

Unsanitary! They don't close the boxes and I saw a dog sniffing n putting his nose into the opener containers on the bottom shelves! I told one of the workers and she just ignored me.

Over priced candy, I was shocked to see one candy was $6 and another was $9 each!!!!! Crazy rip off for candy that is easily $1-$3 each. Ended up paying $46 for a couple peices of candy

I went in for a small amount and came out with a large bag of flavors that I've never tasted before. Chicken and Waffles taffy? Who knew it existed. The young woman in the store was very helpful and very friendly.
