Marini's Candies

After watching a show about how candy is made we learned about Marini's "Chocolate Covered Bacon". We headed to Santa Cruz to check it out, it was worth the trip. The shop offers a lot of different candy for the young and old. We bought a few pieces of "Mango 🥭 and Chili 🌶️ " gummies, ate them and bought a pound. We highly recommend them. We also bought a variety of chocolate covered treats at roughly $8 per pound who could possibly resist. Salt water taffy galore at Marini's were the Tutti f

Nice place. Coffee was good but to small for the price. Doesnt hurt to make it a bigger size to satisfy. I don't know what it is with companies that charge so much and offer some little.

Such a great little candy shop, in such a cool location too. Went in and got some of the chocolate gummies as well as the chocolate covered walnuts. All milk chocolate, based on my lady friend's preference of course 😋

Fun little candy shop near the (now) end of the wharf. We tried an assortment of chocolates and other things. All were very good, and we enjoyed everything. They also had some canned sodas that I'd never heard of, and had shaved ice, cotton candy, and a bunch of other things. Definitely worth the stop.

The BEST little candy and coffee shop! Just took my little family to the beach for the first time. We love this store! Ordered coffee and ice cream and ate it in the store at their tables. Such a cute vibe and the staff is AMAZING! You're going to want to order the cafe Affogato with their pumpkin ice cream. Makes the best pumpkin spice latte of your life! We will be coming back daily for the rest of our vacation.
