Munchie's

I come to Munchies Salt Water Taffy in Old Sacramento many times. Sometimes, I buy a few of my favorite candies. Sometimes, I want to check them out and hope to see some unexpected new candies. I have been in this store many times. I still feel impressed by the amount of candy in the store. The candies are all over this vast store. But they have enough room between all the candy. Shopping here is very comfortable because all the candy is nicely displayed in this extensive and well-lit showroom. The workers in Munchies are all super friendly. They have a few workers helping customers on a weekend day times. But often just the cashier there in the late evening!

I understand some people steal but watching peoples every single movement is unnecessary. My daughter got some big league chew gum because we can never find that anywhere. I got Peach fruit slices. I thought they were orange. But when I tried it I spit it out... it tasted like simple green.

This is a pretty cool candy store in Old Town Sacramento. My aunt wanted to buy some candies so we decided to try this place out. They were well organized, spaced out enough and easy and fun to look around! I liked their salt taffy candies (they import from somewhere which I do not remember where the staff said ). The staff was following the state mask mandate and enforcing it right, which I definitely appreciate. It is ridiculous how few people rate business low because they were told to wear mask when the business is just following the law. I will go back next time in Old Town.

I was going to be in Old Sac and was looking on the internet at the different shops. I noticed Munchie's and because I love taffy decided to give them a try. I noticed on their Yelp account that it stated they offer 10% off any candy sold by weight. When I went into the shop I inquired how much the taffy was per pound and about the 10% off discount. I was informed that they do not give 10% discounts. I purchased about 1/2 pound of taffy. It is very tasty taffy. The reason I took off one star is because if a business states on their Yelp account offering a 10% discount, as a customer I feel they need to honor that or remove it from their account.

Thank you Atlantic City!Did you know that we have Atlantic City, New Jersey to thank for salt water taffy? How it was created is not very clear, some say it was a mistake and some say it was because of laziness, but it is generally agreed that it was created in the 1880s! Regardless, if you are in Old Sacramento area and have sweet tooth, you may want to stop by Munchie's, grab a little basket, walk through the rows of barrels containing different flavors of this wonderful creation and pick a few unheard of flavors to try!I am not a candy lover, but these taffies are very flavorful and not too sweet. Look, you won't even have to go to the boardwalks in Atlantic City to see what a real salt water taffy tastes like!

There are sooo many options for salt water taffy here; I love the variety! The taffy is $4.75 per half pound. With all the variety I just grabbed a few pieces of so many flavors lol. Yum!The cashier is friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that parking can be hard to find, but that was expected in that area.

Hands down best salt water taffy in the area. I LOVE salt water taffy but I'm really particular on the quality as I don't like the cheap kind with artificial flavors like the ones you can just buy at a trader joes. Not like these don't have artificial flavors but the quality if the taffy and flavors are a lot better. There is also a huge selection of over 20+ flavors. The taffy is super fresh and chewy. Every time I drive past the Sac area, I always have to stop at Munchie's. The owner is super nice and is happy to help if you can't find a flavor you're looking for. If you check in to yelp you also get 10% off! Favorite flavors: Neopolitan and Maple Fried Chicken

Overall, the selection and price were pretty good, 9.99 a pound. There were a few things here that I liked that other candy stores nearby didn't have. I may return for these particular items.

Kind of late, but better than never. I recently went to Old Town for a Christmas celebration (12/23/24) and decided to walk around the local businesses before settling in for our light show. When we walked in, we were met with a quiet calm that was a relief from the chaos of Old Town around this time of year. After looking for a while, my husband finally found his favorite: black licorice! A rare (-ly enjoyed by the majority, IMO) but nostalgic flavor that he holds dear.We are super tight on cash but decided to get him a couple of pieces for his stocking this year. The cashier that evening was so kind to give us the 2-3 pieces on the house as free samples. It not only made our night, but it relit our Christmas cheer. It is a rare sight to see someone not nickel-and-dime customers in this day and age. The cashier made what can easily be considered a modern-day Christmas miracle by our family's standards!In other words, what to many may seem like a simple gesture meant the world to our Christmas. I hope the next time we have some money to splurge, we can treat ourselves to a big haul of saltwater taffy from Munchie's.

Good food , gave us discount fresh fries, free drink prices were cheap for a late night dinner open 24/7
