Kandy Korner

Lots of candy and souvenirs! If you’re in need of some candy and souvenirs, and are in downtown Hyannis, stop by Kandy Korner. It’s got small town appeal and is filled with sweet treats and all you could want for souvenirs (magnets, shirts, stickers, keychains, etc). Their prices are good and the staff is friendly! Worth a visit.

Cute store, friendly personnel. Souvenirs seem to be reasonably priced. We enjoyed their homemade ice cream but I don’t think it was worth the $ 13 for 2 cones.

Looking for candy and souvenirs? This is the place to go. Looks can be deceiving as from the outside it looks pretty tiny, but they pack a lot of stuff into the store. Fresh fudge, popcorn, cotton candy, caramel covered apples and every kind of candy you can think of. Loads of salt water taffy for your liking and tchotchkes galore.

Found this walking around our last night in Hyannis. Staff is super friendly and it has souvenirs, ice cream, and candy so it’s pretty much one stop shopping. I would say it was one of the best places we stopped at!

Their chocolate covered strawberries were delicious!
For what they charge for a dozen, it should come in a better box.

This is my must have ice cream when I’m in hyannis. Hands down, best around and .70 an ounce isn’t that bad. The shop in the back is super cute too.

I have been going to Kandy Korner for years and it’s always one of our first stops when we visit Cape Cod. Perfect for souvenirs, gifts, ice cream and not to mention lots and lots of candy.
What I love about this place is that is still has that old time «penny candy store» feel. Although it may be dime candy instead of penny candy now, you still can appreciate it. Grab a basket, pick up some of your old favorites as well as some of the new classics and you’ll be satisfied for only a few dollars.
Make sure you take a picture with the stuffed bear on the bench outside… but I wouldn’t touch it, it’s been there for years. Yay for nostalgia, but nay for germs.

This is a GREAT place for souvenir gifts, trinkets and sweets! Great prices (though the candies made on site can be a bit expensive), lots of variety, and not just a junk shop, which some gift shops can easily be. Great location right on Main Street in Hyannis.

They make their saltwater taffy on site in the window while you watch. It’s no wonder their taffy is so fresh!
Stale taffy is one of my pet peeves. When you’re paying $ 8+ per pound for taffy and it crumbles rather than melts in your mouth, there is something wrong here. They had about 1.5 dozen flavors, we samples them all, and all were chewy, melt in your mouth, goodness.
We also picked up some chocolate covered bacon toffee bits. The verdict on those was undecided. Half the group loved them. The other half though they were basically just edible, though nobody hated them. They didn’t quite taste like genuine bacon though.
We also picked up some various fudge, also made in house. While not bad, I’ve had batter, but I do give props for their vast varieties. The fudge was also distinctly extremely fresh made.
Though the fresh made cotton candy was tempting, I held off to keep myself from falling into a sugar coma on our 1.5 hot drive home. We will be back. This is our new favorite candy shop on the cape!

Loved the huge penny candy selection, homemade fudge and ice cream too. Great mix of gifts, novelties, thirst, etc.

In Boston last week to look at Colleges with my son. The entire city shut down last Thursday so we headed to the Cape. Many years ago (1971 — 1983) we summered on the Cape. We frequently visited Main St. in Hyannis and Kandy Korner was always part of the visit. I was disappointed to see the tattoo parlors on Main st but was relieved to see KK still in business. The store has not changed much since I last visited and the people were friendly. We bought some taffy to take back to the family in Texas which they loved.
Perhaps I am sucker for nostalgia, but I loved the KK. I appreciated that this business has stood the test of time and that I was not gouged on price. Way to go KK — I will be ordering on line from you in the near future.

It’s a candy shop and a gift shop. It’s pretty big for a candy store.
The owners put a lot of care into this place. It looks much the same that it did years ago.
I felt very welcome here. I’ll be back.
The chocolates are a little pricey.

Candy, Ice Cream, fudge, and touristy trinkets. you cant go wrong!!!

A staple in Hyannis that has been around for decades!
Good fudge, classic candy, and a great selection of touristy stuff in the back – assuming you’re a tourist. If you’re a local, then not so much. ;)

Worth a stop in. I remember this place from my childhood, so that might give it an extra star! It’s fun. But the chocolates (by the pound) here are very good — love the buttercrunch bars and chocolate covered cranberries and nuts.
The gift shop and other candy items are your usual pretty junky stuff.
Have never tried their fudge or ice cream. But if you want to bring back a box of candy assortment by the pound for someone, this is the best place in the area.

Their ice cream is awful and their fudge is nothing to write home about. Very disappointing.

Worth a stop in. In a declining tourist area this place can cover all your tourist shopping needs. They have a huge selection of candy, fudge and some ice cream.
There is also a large gift shop in the back that has a variety of themed items from wizard of oz, hello kitty and cape cod.
The taffy is actually pretty good.

No trip to downtown Hyannis is complete without a stop into the Kandy Korner, but that doesn’t mean you need to buy anything.
Their candy selection is that of your typical candy store, minus a few items. They do make their own fudge here, and you can see them doing it in the window frequently, but I have never tried it personally. The fudge, however, has always been good — nothing special in my opinion but definitely not atrocious.
Further back in the shop they have all sorts of various knick-​knacks that one can expect to see in all sorts of shops around The Cape. However, there’s a bit of a time saving benefit to being able to do all your souvenir shopping in one fell swoop, and for that the Kandy Korner is perfect.

Tourist Trap. Kandy Korner has been an institution in Hyannis since the 1910’s. They will ship anywhere (this I know because I sent some salt water taffy to my mom in St. Louis). The taffy is the best. The fudge looked good, but I didn’t get any on this trip.

This store is really BIG inside, but it’s not all candy. The front part of the store is where the candy, fudge, ice cream, etc is, and the back part of the store is a touristy spot, selling everything Cape Cod. The fudge here looks good, but doesn’t taste very good. The top part of the fudge is always hard as a rock, and the middle/​bottom is always sticky. I’ve had fudge before from a thousand different places, and none of them are ever like this, especially with the top being so hard. There are plenty of places on Cape Cod to buy fudge, and candy so I’d recommend going to one of them instead of Kandy Korner. The candy here is nothing special either, just a bunch of little pieces you can get anywhere. Try the Candy Café in the Christmas Tree Plaza in Hyannis. They have excellent fudge, and a better selection of candy.
