Munchies Candy

Munchies were exactly what I had. Not a very large selection of candy, but they had chocolate covered gummy bears which satisfied my needs. The lady working was very kind and told us we could have samples, which most places don’t allow! We ended up getting about $ 10 worth of candy but they were probably worth it. Didn’t have candy corn flavored taffy though :/

This is a great little candy shop in downtown Sausalito with an outstanding selection of taffy. They probably had upwards of 20 flavors to choose from and some unique selections such as maple bacon. The taffy was soft and chewy and left my dental work in tact which can be a challenge sometimes in finding good taffy.
I thought their prices were great and we also had a good time browsing some of their unique candy selections as well.

I use to go there all the time as a kid, and always had a great time with the buckets. They were probably sold somewhere down the line, and it clearly shows with their 5 pieces of sour patch kids wrapped in cellophane for $ 2.75. Also, they don’t accept anything other than cash, and the cashier lady wanted exact change because math must be hard or something. It was awesome years ago, now it’s just a generic overpriced candy shop with an attitude with your change.

Munchies has got a good selection of salt water taffy — there are some unique flavors here like red velvet and huckleberry. It’s kind of pricey at $ 9 a pound, and it’s cash only, but it’s not like this is something you get everyday.

Cute candy store right on the main strip in Sausalito. Lots of old fashion favorites like salt water taffy, root beer barrels other hard candies all in many different flavors … most items are stored in these large barrels. Surprised to see the Charleston chew bars come in different flavors, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Seems that the salt water tafy was the most popular, Iv’e never seen so many flavors. Many different shapes and sizes of gummy candies.
Prices were high, but it is a specialty store.
Open daily 10am-​7pm
Great tourist attraction, very crowed store.

Fun candy shop with so many taffy options! Mmm and boy is it delicious!
We might’ve overloaded on candy because of this store! Definitely don’t step into this store when you’re hungry because you’ll want to buy it all. I loved this little candy store and the store guy was super sweet and helpful too.

This place is awful. We couldn’t get the salt water taffy out of the wrapper and we came back to exchange it. What we found was a bag of candy that was opened. We told them about this open bag and they rudely said «no more returns». I’m sorry, you should be able to stand by your product and if there is a flaw the customer is noticing you need to be nice. But bad quality customer service and products.

Walked in on Wednesday afternoon and saw a trash cash in front with trash from other patrons and stuff obviously from other shops (a phiLz coffee cup for example). Although I was obviously browsing to patronize the store, the lady in the front counter loudly told me it was not a public trash can and was only for use of store customers. Despite there being obvious non candy items I didn’t protest, picked up my garbage and walked out leaving items I wanted to buy behind. This was rude behavior and no way to treat customers. I will not be back

Sorry for the one star, but I was very disappointed after calling in to find out if they sell a certain candy. I understand that it was a warm, sunny Saturday and probably busy with tourists, however if you answer a phone, you should at least pretend to be friendly or care.
I’m sure their candy is fabulous, however I rather give my money to friendly people that actually would like me as a customer.
Their loss, I needed a big order for a wedding.

They have just about every salt water taffy flavor imaginable, even some you’d never think of. There’s also a bunch of other candies from my childhood… I could totally spend a lot of money in here satisfying my sweet tooth :-)

Eek! $ 4.50 for HALF A POUND of candy??! I repeat, $ 4.50 for half a pound! That’s $ 9/​lb of candy. Cue fainting people. Don’t be fooled, if you look closely at Lauren L’s or Elaine Y’s pictures, you’ll see that the sign specifically states that. It’s shot up since 2010 when it was $ 3.79 for half a pound. I felt cheated because I later walked into the Italian deli nearby and they had the same salt water taffy that cost $ 4.50 for a full pound of candy. Ugh, I hate it when I fall for old-​timey shop gimmicks. This is the epitome of tourist trap as you’ll find these candy shops at every big tourist city. I hate to break it to the starry-​eyed candy connoisseurs, but you’ve been ripped off. P. S. you can find the candy sold here in the mall or any other store. My condolences to the future parents who shell out what could buy a full meal somewhere else for a little bag of sugar for their children.
I took a detour because I noticed they sell strawberry bonbons, which are my one true weakness. I also decided to buy some assorted taffy to give to my friends, which I didn’t question until I saw the $ 9 cost for a sad, little bag. Sure, the shop is unique, but it’s not the only themed candy store in America nor is it the only store that sells taffy. Also, people do know that they’re not making this stuff fresh, right? It’s a brand called Taffy Town based in Salt Lake City. Here, to prove my point, Candy Warehouse sells their taffy for $ 3.90 per pound or $ 1.95 per half pound:
I’d totally pay more if they were making the stuff, but when they’re buying it in ridiculous bulk and completely overcharging for it, I feel ripped off. I would also avoid the big name candy like Hershey’s because they are incredibly marked up compared to a normal store price.
My interaction with the owners was awkward and nonexistent at best. They were nice in greeting me and my boyfriend, but otherwise ignored us in a completely empty store. We browsed while the lady eyed us here and there. When my strawberry bonbons came to $ 2.98, I said I would like to get another piece to round out to $ 3.00 and she gave me my two cents and told me, «No, no. You go now. It does not matter.» Perhaps there was a miscommunication, but she sounded a bit hostile and wanted me to leave.
I guess if you have money to burn, you can get your candy crave here. It only gets an extra star because of the vintage feel you get from it and because the shop is clean and organized.

I like the salt water taffy, it’s $ 4.50 per pound, and I got nearly a LB and it was enough pieces to eat and share, so was fair to me, given you could mix n’ match flavors and get a nice assortment.
It’s located in the heart of the tourist crawl of Sausalito, so I’m sure a lot of families take their kids here and it’s a nice place to visit.
Sure, the candy is priced higher (I’d refrain from using the term «overpriced») than what you’d pay at similar stores in the mall or let’s say getting pre-​packaged candies at the supermarket… but guess what? — - So is the rent :) — — meaning… this location is a prime location with a lot of overhead and provides the convenience. The quality of the candies were fresh and good, some were unique, others were commonly available at retail.
So, if you know what 1 lb weights and don’t buy so much heavy stuff, you can come in and get out for under $ 5 with enough candy for 4 people to snack on.
It is CASH ONLY, so know that coming in.

I used to love going to this candy store, but after my most recent experience I won’t be going back! They have some special stuff, but they also have a lot of overpriced candy that you can buy anywhere for a lot less. I got one bag of mixed candy that cost a whole $ 14. It kinda of squashed the kid in me that was excited for a treat. The owners were also rude to me and my boyfriend, giving us a hostile bovine expression and then not saying bye. The guy was actually trying to be nice, but the lady was not. Overall, this place has lost a lot of its charm and innocence for me.

In love! I have the munchies big time! ;)
I happened upon this spot on my way back to the city when I took a slight detour and ended up in cute little downtown Sausalito. There are many adorable mom n pop shops there, but Munchies stood out right away.
Let me just say, I am a candy connoisseur-​not joking here this is a way of life so I don’t fool around! So I like my candy to be good quality and unique, or comfortingly classic and delicious. This place has plenty of both. Tons of different salt water taffy flavors sold by the pound, I picked up some maple bacon ones which were absolutely Devine. All kinds of classic candies and some I’ve never seen before and had to try. The fudge by the counter looked amazing too and was fairly priced like everything else, but I was already standing there with a full basket.
The lady at the counter was extremely sweet to me and very helpful, I would be pleased to come back. Everything happens for a reason and I’m glad I took a wrong turn and ended up here. It was the cherry on top of a great day and I’d highly recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth. :)

I am addicted. I bought a bagful of candy telling myseld that I’d finish them in a year. Well, I eat candy when I wake up, at lunch, while watching TV and even at 4 am when I can’t sleep.
The place is a candy mecca. You can even try, for free of course, any flavor you want. As in like a candy buffet. While I didn’t take advantage of that generosity I tried quite a few; watermelon, lime and cola were my favourites.
Buying candies has a little of style. They give you a wooden pail, which I filled up. They weight the candies and then you fork money.
They also have «normal» candies and chocolates that are sold by weight. Now that I am back in Toronto, I don’t know how to restock my candy bag.
Help. I’m in candy crisis!

I love love love salt water taffy and Munchies definitely fulfilled that want. It’s just rows and rows of barrels filled with taffy. They also had some other varieties of candies, but to be honest, I didn’t pay attention. I got a pretty fair amount of taffy and it only cost me $ 4.50. It’ll definitely last me a little while. There is a huge variety of flavors, but some are definitely better than others.
Cash only!
Try to avoid buying candy that you can find in other stores (prepackaged ones especially), the mark up is kind of ridiculous!

The workers are super nice! so kind and friendly (:

Cute little store!
The owners were SO nice, and they gave my son a lollipop free of charge!
I only bought fudge here, but their fudge was amaaaaaaazing. I love me some fudge! My friend also bought salt water taffy, and she was pretty thrilled with that as well. It was a really nice experience beginning to end, especially with the sweet older couple helping us!

Salt water taffy. Bring a bucket of cash. You’ll need it.

Honestly I spent a total of maybe 7 minutes in this little store, but it is such a charming place and staffed by an adorable older lady.
My friends and I stopped inside for a quick peek while waiting for our table at Angelino’s and were greeted very warmly. The lady behind the cash register invited us to sample any of the taffies and each of us ate a different flavor — all of them were delicious. The mix of candies available in the store was pretty impressive. Although there was a wide variety of salt-​water taffies, mainstream classics like Skittles and Sour Patch Kids were also available. One of my friends decided to take a walk down memory lane and bought a pack of warheads. We gave one to our international friend and watched in delight as she squirmed from the super sour taste.
A great quick stop in Sausalito among the other stores! Not 5 stars because I didn’t spend enough time inside, but definitely left a good impression.

A nice little stop as you’re strolling along the waterfront streets of Sausalito. The little lady owner that helped us during our visit here was just as sweet as the store. She gave the kids a generous sample of the fresh caramel popcorn she made that day.
Tons of saltwater taffy flavors in the yooze, but also some different ones like Chili Mango. And I really liked that they carry the flavored Tootsie Rolls so I was able to get as many green lime tootsies I wanted — score! And speaking of green, they only take cash so have some handy because there will be something in here you’d want for sure!
