Walked 7km a few days ago to impulsively pick up their ginger fudge for my sister. Had no prior experience before-hand. Must say, I'm rather glad that I did. The staff were all very lovely and quick with figuring things out. Very patient and polite, even when I was fundamentally brain dead from the abrupt movement and sun exposure, and consequently fumbling over basic speech again.
Fudge sure isn't my thing and doesn't suit my palate, but my sister has a plethora of allergies and sensory issues that make her quite a fussy sort of eater. She's now very carefully practicing self restraint and rationing it whilst staring longingly at the packet, under the realization that I won't be doing 14km round-trips multiple times a week because she consumed the entire thing. It's really rather difficult to find food for someone who can't eat wheat, eggs, has issues with gelatin depending on the source, and shouldn't touch caffeine if they don't want to bounce off the walls for 32 hours and risk being mauled by irritated family, and more so to find food that they actually like or find tasting good, but Fudge Cottage did it, and they've done it incredibly well!
Got a new bi-weekly / regular customer, it seems - least, 'til I move across the city, and even then, I might just catch the bus in lieu of a car. Hats off to ya, and full respect...

Others, from Arrowtown and Morrinsville) took several days to arrive. Only Fudge cottage's fudges are less gooey than the other 2. I prefer a bit of crunch in fudge..not the gooey texture that supermarkets sells. Out of 3 businesses, I'd much prefer The Fudge Cottage's fudges. Love the Feijoa fudge, my kids dont like feijoa flavour so that means my feijoa fudge wont get swipe lol. Big tick for 1) speedy delivery, 2) less gooey than other business's fudges, 3) got high potential to be reused as gifts (since they came sealed and packaged in their own boxes, but who want to pass them as gifts right!? lol). * Bought Feijoa and the triple...
Read moreA family favourite and always worth a visit when visiting the Christchurch Arts Centre. They kindly gift packed 3 packs of delicious fudge (Bailey's, Russian, and coconut ice this time), along with a couple of chocolate coconut slabs for me. Warm friendly service too, and great to hear they'd enjoyed a good day with visitors and sales. This lovely little enterprise is a mainstay of the Arts Centre and stocks a lovely range of fudges and sweets, and the personalised greetings piped on to the chocolate fudge bars is a...
