Candy Baron

Such a cute store in Pier 39 with lots of taffy and nostalgic candy options. Priced according to the touristy area it is. I loved that you could grab a bucket and get your own mix, or grab a mixed bag -- the option I chose for a last minute white elephant gift under $10. Also grabbed some delicious, perfectly puckering sour belt candy.

3.5 out of 5 The selection of taffy was amazing! The interesting ones were coconut curry, POG taffy, banana cream pie and peaches and cream. It was a lot of fun picking out the flavors to bring back for my son. However, the other candies were very expensive. It was $4.99 for a special flavored KitKat bar and other special bars were around $4.99 - $6.99 which is a little too steep. It was around $14.99 for a pound of taffy. Which is a bit expensive but not too bad. I ended up spending around $17 for just over a pound. It was well worth it for all the cool flavors I chose. The guy at the cash register wasn't too friendly. Thought he would be happier or a bit friendly since this is a candy shop catering to kids. After getting the candy, I recommend going to the end of the pier where you can see a big heart statue, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a great place to snap some photos and videos.

A must-see if going to Pier 39There's so much variety when it comes to candy and so many differently flavors of taffy Good choice for affordable souvenirs as taffy is a staple and there are so many flavors that you can find a unique flavor for everyone you're buying forPerfect place to release your inner child as their is a nostalgic vibe and so many different candies to fawn over

There are tons of candies here. Tons. A fun nostalgic journey as they have classic old candies, souvenir/character tins, every type of gummy you could think of, imported candies and hard to find flavors. Everything is seriously overpriced, but it's to be expected in the location.

Looking to get your sweet tooth fix, this is the place to get your sugar rush on! Convely located in Pier 39 at the end of the Pier... all the way in the back. They have every single.kind of salt water taffy you can think of, or your heart desires.The barrels are step up so you can walk around and have candies on the left and the right. Prices are for a portion of a pound, so chose wisely as it can add up quickly!

My mom loves coming to Candy Baron when we're in fisherman's wharfI always get the root beer barrels

This is the best place in California to get salt water taffy. I have searched most of the California coast line. The store is clean and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. I would drive from the Central Valley just to get salt water taffy. I moved to Idaho in 2018, and I still order my taffy from them. It takes 2 days to get here, but it's definitely worth it.

So. Much. Taffy. You will love this candy store if you like taffy!! Even though I don't, we had a great time viewing all the different types of candies - they have a great selection of random candies, indulging Japanese matcha Kit Kat, hello Kitty candies, etc.We never give the kids candies, but since we were in the candy store, they got it each pick one they really wanted! So special!

Owner is not friendly and very mean spirited. Was a bad experience all together conversing with her. I would not recommend this place to anyone

Barrels and barrels on salt water taffy can be found in this place. Lots of your old favorite flavors and some interesting new ones. Watch out for those upper shelves... didn't know there were so many x-rated versions of candy paraphernalia.
