Carousel Taffy & Treats — Local services in Capitola

44 cents? Was it worth it???? If I could give you 0 stars I would!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE do not support this store!!!

Today we went to Capitola. We go there as often as possible as this is one of our favorite places. Every time we go we visit the Taffy Store. It is one of the highlights of our visit. Today my 14 year old went to the store before us. He went in for the sample which we have always done. He went purposefully to his favorite taffy, got his sample and then started to leave. He then decided that he would bring one piece for his two little brothers back at the beach, which he has done before. He was not sneaky and made no attempt to hide what he was doing. He knows that we ALWAYS go in, get samples and by a big bag on our way home. As he was walking out of the store, an old lady with short black hair called him back. He did not run. She proceeded to tell him that he was to sit and wait for the police. She called them because he had stolen 3 pieces of taffy. He tried to explain what he was doing but she would not let him speak. When the police officer showed up she actually wanted to press charges for 44 cents worth of taffy. She would not listen to him explain what he was doing. He did not see the NO SAMPLES sign. Even the police officer said the he really did not think he did anything wrong. My son was polite and respectful during his ordeal. Which was also noted by the officer.

We go to Capitola about 30 times a year. We have in the past spent at least $10 a visit at this store. So I ask again; Was it worth it??? We will never go back. I will post this on my Facebook account and spread this story to everyone who...

The freshest taffy I've had in a long, long time! I took advantage of the special (buy 3 lbs, get 1 lb free) while in Capitola 3 weeks ago... and I'm already thinking about getting more! (I share, I swear!)

The shop has flavors I hadn't seen before. Cranberry/raspberry was especially delicious 😋 but maple bacon, tho not really bacon-y, it's got that bit of savory/sweet that made me wish I'd gotten more!

The shopkeeper (owner/manager maybe?) was very helpful, courteous, and quite gracious in assisting me in getting the best deal he could offer. Thank...

Carousel Taffy & Treats is a fun stop for anyone with a sweet tooth. My family and I enjoyed sampling different flavors of taffy, each one soft and chewy with just the right amount of sweetness.

The shop has a nostalgic feel, with colorful displays and friendly service. Whether you're grabbing a quick treat or stocking up on souvenirs, this spot is a great addition to a...
