Picked this store for my fudge based on a quick "research" while in st Ives. I'm not a fan of fudge so far so wanted to see if it tastes any better here in Cornwall. Store location is great and has an inviting entrance with a brief history of how it all began on one of us exterior walls.

Of these three, the sea salt surprisingly was my favourite as it balanced the sweet with the salt perfectly. There were many more flavours bit I didn't want to overdo it so for a bag of these three.

Staff member who served us was friendly and patient while I tasted and made up my mind with the flavours to buy. Will try out fudge in other popular stores when I'm in...

Read moreI was not aware of Roly’s until my cousin requested I get some for her while at St Ives on holiday.

The only inconvenient thing I encountered was I wanted to pay with a £50 cash and they were not accepting it, a little disappointed as I needed change. Understandably ofcourse they have their reasons but should invest on this as there are still people that carries cash specially...
