Munchie’s

You can never go wrong with some delicious salt water taffy! This candy shop is super cute and very reasonably priced for a touristy type area. At $ 4.19/half pound, we weren’t robbed just by wanting a sweet treat after finishing dinner. There were many different taffy options that I had never heard of and was very excited to try, and not disappointed! I really enjoyed the Candy Corn flavored taffy, simply because I love festive foods and enjoying the holidays! So much of the candy took me back to my childhood and really had me wishing this place was close by where I live so I can visit whenever I want some treats! Considering there are many other candy options in the area, my only suggestion would be to decorate more for kids (aka putting up Halloween decorations/​holiday decorations in general). Thumbs up munchies!

Stopped in Old Sac to kill some time before a red eye flight home. I stumbled upon this place and decided to check it out. Salt Water Taffy heaven! So many flavors I almost didn’t know where to start. The cashier was extremely friendly and helpful. Wish we had places like this on the east coast! To top it all off, the candy was fabulous and fresh. I highly recommend this spot for your sweet tooth needs :)

I haven’t been to an Old Sac taffy shop since I was a kid! The taffy here is very yummy but that isn’t the only thing they sell. They have old school type candy here like root beer bottle candies and so on. Although I didn’t see any apple flavored taffy or anything that wasn’t berry flavor.

I really love Munchies! They have just about every kind of candy imaginable, AND their selection of salt water taffy is amazing. The staff is very relaxed and ready to answer questions, but they never hover or act suspicious toward customers.
Be prepared to fill your basket with yummy candy at a very good price.

Walked in here on a weekday afternoon to a friendly and sweet welcome!
The place has a huge assortment of yummy saltwater taffy and old-​school candies!
Each time I’ve been here, the employees let you try any sample of taffy you’d like!
In my last visit, a homeless person came into the store asking a bunch of crazy questions loudly and yelling randomly. The employee (sorry for forgetting her name) handled the situation very well, kindly asking them to leave the store without sounding rude or offensive. I was pretty surprised at how well it went, most employees may freak out or go for offensive measures. Props to her!

Check in for 10% off. This place is family owned so we wanted to stick to that. Also it’s 1 cent cheaper than the candy heaven store in old sac. They mostly have the salt water taffy here and barely anything else. If you want other varieties then check out candy heaven. Love the taffy

Friendly staff [Shannon is amazingly helpful, knew exactly what I was looking for] and great candy, my favorite place to visit in Old Sac. Best taffy selection ever! Definitely worth a stop in, you’ll be greeted warmly and offered samples of awesomeness!

Went here twice in the few weeks vising Sacramento and Shannon was great! She even remembered me the second time. Me and my daughter went to three different candy stores in Old Sac and Munchies was by far the best! They were the friendliest and had the best selection of salt water taffy and other old time candies! We will definitely return when we come back!

Virginia was very sweet, happy, and friendly. As were all the employees. I was happy with the selection of candy choices that I had, and I will more than likely come back again. Thanks, Munchies!!!

Shannon was the nicest lady… we were greeted right away and she was very very sweet!!! She was informative and helpful to all those who came in!!! Thank you for being so nice! Awesome salt water taffy!!! And so much more that just that… old school candies of every kind from wayyyyy back! Best place in town

The only candy store I will go to. Everyone is so friendly. I love how they always invite you to sample! A must see with all the flavors of taffy yummy. Who doesn’t like wandering rows and rows of candy. They have some old time candies too… Great way to bring back some memories. One time I did a team building exercise and we went there and told everyone to pick out a few pieces of candy that made them think of their childhood or had a memory tied to it. When we got back to the office we all shared our memory and candy! It was a great team building event that everyone is still talking about

A huge array of options for salt water taffy. Free samples galore. I’m normally a laffy taffy kind of guy, but with so much variety, you can’t go wrong here. They also sell other types of candy as well.

This place is very old fashioned. They have old style sodas, candies, taffy and everything here. I heard about this place alot. The service is very nice. They have rows of candies I never heard of. Good spot in Old Town Sacramento.

«Munchie’s has great candy!» Says my 6 year old. They were also very friendly and way cheaper than other shops in old town.

Indeed I love saltwater taffy. It’s scary though because I could feel thunder thighs and love handles developing throughout my body as I explored the barrels of various flavors. THEN my husband, some of our family, and myself discovered even more nostalgic candy towards the back of the store. My mother-​in-​law demanded some of those Boston Baked Beans and I think Sugar Daddies. My husband grabbed Jolly Ranchers and others. My favorite taffy flavors – many of which I didn’t try for fear of turning into an Oompa Loompa – were Raspberry Lemonade, Neapolitan, and Strawberry-​Banana. Chunk any of your favorites into a little barrel. Hand it to the cashier. They weigh it. It turns out to be more than you expect, but what the hell? Anything you don’t eat between September and Halloween can be given to Trick or Treaters, right?
The next time I stroll up and down Old Sac I am definitely trying Guapa and Mango… probably a few others since the chick that works there kept announcing to people as they walked by to «feel free to sample what you like inside.»
Review #33

Una tienda para visitar! Si no tienes un dulce de taffy favorito les recomiendo visitar esta tienda, siempre que vengo salgo contenta Por eso le doy 5 estrellas oh! Y mencione que dan a brovar dulces gratis para que encuentres tu sabor favorito!

So much taffy!
This was a visit to memory lane they have all the old school candy I grew up loving remember when candy cost $.05 yeah so long ago man I must be old. Well just walking through and seeing all the candy from my elementary school days made me smile and so I will definitely plan on stopping by here when ever in the Capitol.
What i bought:
Taffy 1 of each flavor and they probably have like 25 flavors.

”Feel free to sample what you like when you’re inside”.
Probably the most exciting and dangerous sentence you could hear as you’re walking into a candy store! It’s hard not to be completely reverted back to child status and going crazy but be careful! I had 5 or 6 ”samples” and ended up feeling a little sick with a sugar buzz for some time after.
Munchie’s has the largest variety of salt water taffy I have seen and in so many different flavors — Bubblegum, Watermelon, Green & Red Apple, Cherry, Strawberry Cheesecake, Ginger Bear, Butter Popcorn, Pineapple, Banana Cream Pie, Birthday Cake, Jamaican Rum (one of my favorites!)… The list goes on.
The store is filled with brightly colored bins with not just Taffy but also other goodies like Rock Candy, Tootsie Rolls, Fruit Jellies, Candy Corn ect and it’s all done by weight. Simply grab a bucket at the door and fill to your hearts content. Most candies priced at $ 7.58 per lb.
It’s also not too busy either with plenty of space to walk around and browse freely.
Definitely a must stop of you’re visiting Old Sac and if the place looks familiar it’s probably because it was shown on the TV show ”Ghost adventures”.

If you like saltwater taffy, this place will be your wood-​clad heaven on Earth.
With only a few minutes left to browse until we were due at the Railroad museum, my kid and I were delighted to find this nostalgic-​style candy store. Apparently they have every taffy flavor imaginable and then some, especially if you’re looking for chocolate; chocolate malt, chocolate caramel, chocolate mint, chocolate peanut butter (the most popular, judging by how it was temporarily out of stock), etc. They also have flavors you probably would have never considered for saltwater taffy such as guava and mango. I just had to load up for my taffy-​junkie better half.
In case you’re not into taffy however there are a lot of other less-​common candies stacked in the barrels toward the back. Think fruit slice gummies, zots, unicorn horn lollies, push up pops, and retro candies that you probably thought weren’t made anymore like walnettos. I was having 20^th century flashbacks in spades.
What you won’t find is much in the way of chocolate or any more common, modern candies. That’s just the way they roll here in Old Town.
Since my sweetie approved of the taffy, Munchies officially gained must-​try status for our every future visit to Sacramento.

This place is a heaven for those who are into candies. There are barrels and barrels of salt water taffy and various hard and soft candies. You can try as much free samples as you want! I bet most kids would love this place.
Unfortunately these are no gourmet sweets (hence the 3 stars review). The candy flavors are artificial and most of them are not very distinct. Not really fit for foodies but if you are into candies you will probably like them. On the bright side, they are all fairly inexpensive. For a few bucks you will a long lasting sugar rush.
Oh yes, salt water taffy are not (and have never been) made out of salty ocean water.

This is a great candy store with wonderful salt water taffy if you are in to that sort of thing.
Grab a basket and get as much or as little as you like. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and quick to get my payment processed.
I will definitely be back when I need to buy candy presents!
