Fuzziwig’s Candy Factory

Friendly staff, large selection of candy and chocolates to satisfy my sweet tooth. I had a milk chocolate salted Carmel square, which was the size of two normal pieces. It was the recommendation of the staff member, when I was torn between which chocolate to choose. It hit the spot. I also left with some cute, seasonal bat and pumpkin gummy sours.

A nice selection of candy, with homemade, boxed, and foreign options. I came in for the «Coronado Crunch». It’s a yummy combination of marshmallow, peanut butter chips, caramel, chocolate chips, rice crispy and white chocolate and wasn’t disappointed! Upon check out, the owner gave my daughter a free Hello Kitty book which she loved being a Hello Kitty fan.

3.5 stars is more fair…
Your typical Fuzziwig’s Candy Factory, similar to other stores of this genre. While nothing really sets it apart, it is still a cute fun store with a ton of candy, sweets and related gift items.
Pros:
–convenient location on the main drag in Coronado
–well stocked, clean and nicely organized
–bulk candy by the pound: gummies (of note was a large selection of sour belts including cotton candy which I’ve never seen), gum, licorice, old-​timey (zagnut, walnut chew), chocolate covered (malt balls, gummy bears/​fish, cookie dough bites, almonds, bridge mix), chocolate (marshmallow, bark, pebbles)
–huge variety of jelly belly, m&ms and taffy town taffy in bulk
–satellite wafers by the piece… always hard to find, even in a bag
–some harder to find, novelty packed, retro and japanese candy
–limited selection of food/​candy related gift and toy items
–a huge amount of «homemade» type items similar to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory: caramel apples, fudge rocky road, salted caramel, cookies and cream, peanut butter, starbucks mochaetc), candy/​chocolate/​caramel covered items (oreos, pretzels, bacon etc), petit fours… I can only comment on the quality of the fudge (delicious!!!), but everything else looked and smelled pretty good!
–dipping dots
–the staff was friendly and attentive; the lady let me buy just a tiny bit of fudge (most places only sell a specific piece amount) and gave me a few samples!
Cons:
–depending on the day/​time, street parking can be tricky
–limited hours
–minimum purchase to use credit cards
–many of the gummies were of the generic variety that you could find in mass retail, such as sour patch and swedish fish
–the bulk chocolate items are not the best quality chocolate and some are a bit stale (but that can happen with bulk candy if there’s not a great turnover or if staff doesn’t rotate stock)
–a tad pricey, especially for the more «generic» items you could find in mass retail
Overall, a novelty of a fun place to stop by for a yummy treat and maybe a gift, but not really a place to go for your generic, go-​to candy needs.

Cute little store. Large variety of candy. I’m not a sweets person so I didn’t buy anything but it’s fun to look around at all the colors and toys. They even had dog treats! Everyone loves their pups. It’s a little small. Bit of a cramp space. But with so much to offer, where you gonna put it all? Selling candy but the pound. They had the souvenir stuff with your name on it. Didn’t have my name though. Just wasn’t meant to be. Smelled delicious walking in. Lots to choose from.

What a great place ! They have amazing fudge and Carmel apples ! The candy selection is great! I went last year and came back this year and the owner remember me.
The kids love going here and picking out there own bag of candy !
A must try is the almond bark !
Oh and they have dippn dots

Yum! A little pricey but its a candy shop in Coronado… the young guy and lady that work there are really nice… the young lady went out of her way to help young kids. A plus for working in a candy store. Lots and lots of candy, chocolates, and fudge… everything I get is always fresh and delicious.

The owner is a jag bag. It’s unfortunate that his attitude has to mess up my nice time out with my kids. Please don’t patronize his shop. A young boy asked the owner as he was prepping for close «what time do you close?» He answered «right now kid!», no smile, horrible attitude. He must be someone who inherited the store, married into money, or is such a degenerate that his parents who owned the store forced him to work it. If it wasn’t for my kids wanting candy, we would have walked out. Experience it for yourself, look for the middle aged pud, who looks like he wants to strangle kids.

Awesome! Very nice people and great selection. So much to choose from. I was like a kid in a candy store. Heeheee!

Located in the heart of downtown Coronado; situated on a block of cute boutique stores and restaurants.
The store is basically a hot box. As soon as you walk in, you get a nice big whiff of sugar and you’re instantly on a sugar high. Different varieties of caramel apples, chocolate covered stuff, and candies (sour belts and jelly bean galore!). They even have a wall dedicated to cute little gadgets like legos.
The dippin dots sign is what brought us inside. $ 4 bucks for a regular and $ 5.50 for a large. Pricing on the dippin dots are amusement park status. Expensive! However I did expect things to be a bit more expensive on this island.

Their caramel apples are worth the trip alone. Also appreciate the reasonable prices.
It’s clever having a candy shop named after A Christmas Carol’s Ghost Of Christmas Past as a lot of the candy was popular in the past.

Cute candy shop in the heart of downtown Coronado– lovely store window, lots of sweet goodies to choose from here, as well as plenty of toys and knick knacks, and all the things a kid could want, and probably lots of adults who are still kids at heart. The «Boo» toys were a fun surprise in addition to the Hello Kitty merch. Lovely candied apples with several different flavors and slabs of fudge found here as well.

What a fun candy store, with delicious fresh chocolate covered varieties, not to mention a lot of candy options, including some fun oldies! Fun place to get some sweets, including those you may not be able to find anywhere.

The store had quite a selection, but being a tourist I thought I should get something that they only have here. Must try the Coronado Crunch! SO DELICIOUS! mmmmm. I bought only one for my friend and I to share. but after the first bite, I didn’t want to share with her anymore! The coronado crunch has rice krispies, peanut butter, marshmallows, chocolate and I think something else. The chocolate melts in your mouth and there’s a little crunch from the rice krispies and then a little chewy from the marshmallows! I want more :(The pumpkin malt balls are also delicious if you like pumpkin spice!

3 words: CHOCOLATE SALTED CARMELS!
By far the best thing I’ve ever tasted and a reason I come out to Coronado! It’s great to pick up a couple of these and head to the beach to enjoy the view :)
My only criticism is price and the fact that it does get extremely crowded but I think that’s the nature of the beast. Its not a large store so its better to know what you want before you go in if possible. And as for price… if you want cheap candy I guess you gotta go to the dollar store… but these salted caramels are worth it!

Good old-​timey candy store, chock full of toys, random gadgets, gag gifts, fudge, and dippin dots. A bit of quasi-​stressful sensorial overload for me, but I suppose that’s the point.
The candy selection was everything anyone could ever ask for – they have the hugest selection of sour gummy fruity things, which are my personal favorite of I’m going the gummy route.
My friend freaked out over dipping dots. I’m no expert, but it seemed like they had a wide array of flavors: birthday cake, moose tracks, etc., and my friend was completely psyched. In fact it may have been the highlight of our visit to Coronado for her, haha!
I would definitely stop in again, especially for a unique/​crazy/​fun gift… or if I had a child (who I wanted to get all hyped up), in tow.

So this is what I imagine Willy Wonka’s wet dream to look like: small, compacted, and brimming with sweets of all sorts, colors, and types.
More of a 3.5 rating, really. Why? The prices are way too steep. For example, they charge $ 3 for a single chocolate dipped strawberry. I mean, come on.
Small and compacted, yeah. Small space FULL of obese tourists. Not a good mix.
But they have a great variety of candy and things. They even have M&Ms of all colors. I hate the Oakland Raiders with a passion, but my friend loves that crap team and her birthday is coming up, so I had the idea to get her a Raiders glass and fill it with black, silver and white M&Ms.
They have lots of homemade treats too, and their chocolate covered apple creations look crazy. I would love to eat one, but i fear the calories, so I will pass.
I did get a small handful of popcorn flavored Jelly Bellies though.
I think a father and son might run this place. There was a teenage boy and an older guy who looked alike, and were ringing people up. Both were friendly and offered great customer service.

This is an a candy store with every sweet you can imagine.
Things are expensive, and the store is small and overcrowded.
I was found a little bit digusted after being at awe for the first 5 minutes or so.
I started to realize how dirty the place is, and I started to question how old the candy was and how much contact with human hands and breathre it has been through…
Eww…
It’s almost impossible to walk inside here, and most of the candies are not even marked with prices.
I guess this could be a nice place for someone looking for a childhood candy, but eat at your own risk…

So much candy! I always appreciate a candy shop with a vast selection of «homemade» treats, especially their Coronado Crunch or whatever that yummy white and crunchy stuff was that I bought. Mmmm…
Yes it’s a bit over priced, but this is Coronado,…

Lots of candy! Sort of over priced.
They have fresh made chocolate and caramel dipped stuffed.
So many kids in here. and it is so freakn crowded! Makes it hard to look and choose candy without bumping into people/​kids.
I have been to candy stores that are like this but they are usually roomier. It was so crowded that it made the candy experience bad since I couldn’t even leave or walk around cause there were just too many people and things. Wouldn’t go out of my way to get this but if in the neighborhood would stop by

Dude, this store is PACKED with candy. Holy smokeronies. I’m so glad I’m not a fat kid because every single corner is filled with candy, chocolate, eyecandy goods they make, and more stuff you really shouldn’t ever eat regularly.
Holy smokes, talk about an explosion of colors and smells and…
I’m glad I walked out before buying anything. I’m never tempted by candy, but THIS, was the devil’s playground.
