Estes Park Sugar Shack and Fudge Factory

We had 3 ice cream cones and a shake. SO good! The gentleman working there was so kind and said strawberry was his favorite flavor which convinced me to get it. It was delicious! We also tried their fudge which was delicious as well.

We stopped by this candy store to treat my daughter to some ice cream, and the experience was absolutely mind-blowing — in the worst way. When we walked in, the older man behind the counter was too busy heavily flirting with a female customer to even acknowledge us. He didn’t glance up once. Meanwhile, a teenage boy was nearby pricing items and also completely ignored us, even when we clearly asked for help.

The ice cream was wildly overpriced and looked — definitely not fresh. As for the candy, we were shocked to see it being transferred from giant Costco bags into tiny containers and sold for $6 — for just a few pieces! If you’re going to resell bulk candy, at least do it behind the counter, not right in front of your customers you are ignoring.

Overall, this place is a total rip-off. Poor service, low-quality products, and zero customer care. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.

Went in here after a bad experience at another store. The owner was very friendly, helpful and proud of their store. The fudge I got was amazing and fresh!! I had never tried chocolate covered bacon before so I got one. It was very good. If in Estes, visit this store for sweets.

My wife got the pink powder fudge ball n the white powder fudge ball, we can’t remember what the name of these were but she loved these. we think the pink one was a raspberry chocolate or black forest either way though the flavor was amazing

i got 4 white fudge oreos n 2 dark chocolate oreos. next time i’m def getting some more of the dark chocolate ones, the white fudge were bomb but i didn’t know i was craving some dark chocolate ones oh man.

when my love n i return to Estes Park, we will, emphasis on will, return to this specific location for sweets n fudge.

the gentleman who served us was incredibly nice n also liked my wife n i’s matching space outfits. hers being sailor moon n mine is a cowboy bebop.

They have family/friends/military discount here.

Much to choose from here amongst this town’s many candy shops vying for your hard earned dollars. This place has history though so it’s worth stopping in and supporting them with a purchase or two. Saltwater taffy, fudge, hard candies, popcorn, suckers and so much more are guaranteed to satisfy and delight that sweet tooth craving you have.

Cute store. Went for the fudge.

The staff is so nice. The cotton candy and ice cream was delicious. Buddy the dog is an absolute sweetie.

Went in kinda late to get some goodies, was greeted with a young kid mopping and uninterested in helping us. Has zero customer service skills. Then an older man walked from the back and had the same attitude as the young kid. Spent 10$on 4 pieces of fudge that was so-so. Walking out the customers outside seemed underwhelmed as well.

SAYS open until 8!!!! But closed at 5!!!!!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!!! PLUS…their EMPLOYEES take up the spots in front!!! Watched them leave!!! VERY RUDE!!!

I’ve tried many fudge places and this one is a solid spot. Delicious homemade fudge and a huge variety of candies, chocolate and popcorn. The people are super nice too. I’ll definitely come back to try more. Best candy spot in Estes Park!

There is no shortage of fudge and candy in Estes Park, but by far the best fudge is right here.

Good spot but $17 for a quarter bag of popcorn is horrific.

Came in for some sweet treats. The man working the register asked where we were from. We told him where we live in CO. He immediately went on a soapbox about how that’s where a lot of the wave of immigrant “Mexicans” settle. I said k have a good night and tried to leave. He stopped our party again (with older aunt and uncle) and even walked outside to continue his spiel. Super weird behavior. Won’t be back when there’s plenty of other places for treats in town.

Other than the prices, this place is wonderful....They've so many beautiful, tasty treats. It's so hard to choose. I tried the chocolate covered bacon. It was interesting different. I tried the chocolate and treat covered twinkies. They were amazing. I tried quite a few different truffles and chocolate. Everything is worth trying. It's awesome!
