Candy Baron — Local services in San Francisco

I loved all this store has to offer from a succulent sour treat to mounds of chocolate buttery and sweet. As I ventured further into the candy abyss I double took at what seemed to be two cases of each of the same treat, but alas!!! The 2nd variant was the C6H12O6 free version thAts almost carb free! Overjoyed as I was, I purchased sugar free licorice, sour patch kids and reces cups. I got home and immediately consumed all three bags and enjoyed every last piece as they tasted almost the same as their glucose counterparts. I only came to regret my decision about 2-3 hours after ingestion. What began as a cramping pain near my ribs crept down my intestinal track. I could feel every inch of my organs twisting as the sugar free mass migrated all the way down to my unsuspecting back door. An ereuption of gas, liquid, madness and self respect poured out of my rectum into the porcelain throne. This continued for 5 hours almost every 45minutes until I was left with nothingness. I would highly suggest visiting this place but if you indulge in sugar free candy, make sure you have a free schedual for the next 7 hours and a low...

This place is a magical Wonderland that can get a little bit confusing if you look down for too long. The candy Baron has a bunch of barrels filled with mostly salt water taffy but other candies as well. It has a somewhat circular motion with one large motion being for the majority of the salt water taffy and a sort of smaller motion being at the front with some random candy like Pez and Snickers. I recommend starting at the smaller area as it is right by the door and won't get you trapped into the large emotions that also leads into the line to check out. There's always a lot of people in this store so try to stay patient and keep a level head. Kids are going to run in front of you and possibly even grab things as your basket but once you snap them out of it they'll be okay. If anything I would recommend trying at least one of every single piece of candy. The last time I did that it came up to about $7 but...

My girlfriend went into there while I enjoyed an incredibly entertaining juggling/balancing/comedy act outside. (To which I give 5 stars, btw, as the street act was incredible) So she purchased about 3 pounds of assorted taffy which turns out to be extremely gooey and sticking all over, almost like it's melting. Very annoying, and no way can we gift it to anyone as planned. I have been a fan of salt water taffy for well over 50 years now, and this stuff they sold to us is not done correctly. So sad. I hate to think that this is the reason that they don't allow samples. I don't mind paying 12.00 a pound for good taffy, but this stuff is in bad shape. If you love good salt water taffy, THEN AVOID THIS PLACE...
