Candy Kitchen Shoppes

This place is sad and it upsets me.
It is so hard to find good local salt water taffy and candy kitchen is trying to take those businesses over. So overpriced and you cant even make your own assortment of candy. It’s like candy jail.

I will never visit another candy kitchen again. For over seventeen years we have visited the Delaware and Maryland shore. When we leave we always stop at a candy kitchen to load up. This time an unpleasant woman scolded me because my eight year old and four year old had the audacity to request something that was against corporate policy. They wanted their own bag of candy that did not quite reach a quarter pound. Heaven forbid. I offered a solution. Combine them and give me an empty bag and I will separate. This terrible request will apparently run the company into the ground. She made it quite clear I was going to create anarchy and perhaps the ruin of her employer. The lady behind me in line was as shocked as I was at this terrible employees response to my kids request. Shame on candy kitchen for teaching their employees that a complete lack of respect is the way to treat customers.

Rude staff that had their backs turned for most of my visit.
I felt like I was imposing on their conversation when I asked to be helped.
I wanted to try the rocky road fudge but was told I had to order a quarter pound of it. Now I know why I was not allowed to try it first. It was old, stale and hard as a rock.
There are way to many candy shops at the beach to choose from to be given such bad service and old stale fudge. I went here because it was right across from my hotel. Next time I will get in my car and drive elsewhere.

All the bright, pastel colors certainly catch people’s attention while cruisin’ down the Coastal Hwy, but don’t equate that with the quality of the candy. I’d rather buy my favorite Lindt Lindor truffles from the local CVS store. This is honestly just a mini Willy Wonka magical candyland playground for the kids to look around. Nothin’ special

The kids love this place. There seems to be one every 500 feet. They have a wonderful selection of candy at fairly reasonable prices. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely bring the kids for a stop by

There are about a million of these stores in Ocean City. If you want expensive vacation candy, this place is sufficient. A warning to parents, these stores are also full of small, overpriced plush toys on floor-​level shelves. I would call it tantrum bait.
If you are after salt water taffy, they have it here, but it isn’t very flavorful or fresh. There were a few flavors that we could not pinpoint, and my in-​laws insisted that they were not flavored. If you want good salt water taffy, I recommend Dolle’s. It’s on the boardwalk, and well worth the trip. Their taffy was soft and very flavorful.

Nothing special. too many toys for sale though. thought was was weird.

This place was well lit, clean, and staffed by some friendly kids. The candy selection was decent and the prices didn’t seem too bad to me. I just wish the taffy was made without hydrogenated oils! Overall an A-​OK experience.

Candycandycandy! Disappointed… I love candy and sweets stores… so is the sucker bf… but, I was let down. maybe I’m too spoiled with Edward Marc chocolatier inside the Pentagon. chocolate covered pretzels in bag tasted stale, almond crunch bar– stale, sea salt caramels (usually my favorite)-hard…bf didn’t like his sour apple laces in the bag…
Was disappointed… thought I was gonna have a Dylan’s experience.

This place is my enemy lol. As soon as you wlak in you can smell the scent of freshly made chocolate and candies. My favorite treat is the rice krispie treat covered in chocolate and sprinkles. I wish i had bought more of those. So good
They also have a make your own sundae bar that I did not try but looked delicious.

Driving along Ocean City and all you see are bunch of gigantic pink sign that reads CANDY KITCHEN.
I do love candy and this of course peaked my interest. I asked N (N’s a native to Maryland) what was this place all about and N replied it’s not good.
*sigh*
How could a place that has more than 7 stores along Coastal Highway be bad?
On our last day, while T, N and C were all at the beach… I decided to drive along and check this place out. This place looked way cuter on the outside than it was in the inside.
I was hoping I would find some cute things to bring back to my friends instead this place was just a lower and poorer version of Dylan’s Candy. I didn’t want to buy any Salt Water Taffy since 1. I personally hate them. 2. We currently already have one from Cape Code and Block Island — so no more taffy.
So I thought perhaps I should look at the chocolates… the chocolate here looked old and stale.
Gross.
I don’t want to buy something just to get something for the sake of it.
This place is for suckers.
