Perkins Cove Candies — Attraction in Ogunquit

I have been coming here with my mom since I was a small kid. I visit OGT often and always stop here for a big bag of taffy. It’s a family tradition, I go now with my nieces and nephew. I visited on Saturday July 6th and got my usual taffy bag. After returning home my husband grabbed a piece of peanut butter taffy. I was alarmed to see that while he was chewing he stopped and reached into his mouth and pulled out a thin piece of black metal, could have been plastic but it was bendy, almost like a twisty tie metal. The twisty tie for the bag was in my hand so it wasn’t that! It scratched the inside of his mouth. I was shocked, sadly, I threw out the rest of the taffy.

The chocolates were below standard for a chocolate shop - they were no better than boxed chocolates! Only the raspberry cremes had any quality worth mentioning. Our daughter looked disappointed when she tasted some of...

We came here the weekend before Halloween and it was delightful! We were walking by the candy shop when we were welcomed by a witch in the alley way, welcoming us down the path for a surprise. We had no idea what we were in for. When we turned the corner in the back, they had completely decked out the back for Halloween and it had a really cool haunted pirate theme with fog too! There was picture props, and our daughter was given a bag of candy! It was such a nice surprising treat! We were able to enter the store from the back entrance afterwards and shop for candy. I LOVE their sugar free candy section! Everything we bought was delicious and the chocolate had a true homemade taste. We will love to return again in the...
