How much is shipping on Mail orders

How much is a small box of taffy?

Can kisses be ordered online & do you ship?

Yes to both

Closed last Sunday??? Anyone know why.

No clue

Will Goldenrod be opened on Oct 19?

No they close for the season on Columbus Day.

I had a an anniversary decorative plate from the Goldenrod ...might have been 1996 1998 ..not sure ...and it fell off the wall! ...And shattered in a million pieces... Is there anywhere I can get another one ?does anybody know?

Have you contacted the restaurant? I know they had anniversary tees for quite a while after the 100th.

Can you ship ice cream?

The Goldenrod does not ship ice cream.

When do they close for the season?

Usually Columbus day weekend.

When do they open (and start making saltwater taffy) in the spring? When do they close (and stop making saltwater taffy) in the fall?

It finally occurred to me to do the obvious thing: give them a call! They open each year on the Friday before Memorial Day. They close each year on Columbus Day. They accept mail orders until the last Friday before October. In the fall (after school starts up again) they are open Weds - Sun each week. None of this detailed info is on the website!

Rudest employees around. Didn't even get in the store without being harassed by Miss Blonde Thing. All set. Lost a continuous customer, your candy isn't worth it.

Doesnt matter what time you go to eat their food, breakfast lunch and dinner is always amazing. Plus their salt water taffy is to die for. Peppermint is my favorite. And when rootbeer was the weekly flavor.

A wonderful place to get a nice meal and load up on some sweet treats when you're on vacation in York Maine. You can choose to sit at the old fashioned counter while having your frappe or bowl of ice cream, or take a table in the dining room while enjoying your meal. If you're able to, get a seat near one of the windows so you can watch other visitors to the area as they pass by. And don't forget to spend some time on the sidewalk watching them make delicious Goldenrod Kisses (saltwater taffy) through the windows. The cutting and wrapping machine has been a source of fascination for many visitors for decades, and never loses it's attraction.

It is a tiny bit tight, but the staff is so friendly and the food is so good! And it's not break the bank expensive. They're very willing to work with food allergies, just let them know. There's a very quaint aesthetic to it. And the sweet shop part of it is so beautifully old fashioned, that you can't help but wonder at it. 100% will go again next time we come up here!

Delicious homemade saltwater taffy in a variety of flavors, located right by the beach. Windows on the street so you can watch the process, purchasing inside - you can choose how many of which flavor you want. They also have a large assortment of other chocolate candies as well as a full restaurant menu.

Great ice cream in a cute cottage feel restaurant. The food is good, but nothing over the top. It's simple and tasty casual dining. I have been coming here since I was 4 on my summer vacations and it is a staple whenever I am around. I live the coffee float with mocha chip ice cream.

Nice diner style feel, friendly atmosphere and pretty good food for what could easily be an over priced, commercialized, non friendly place. Which this place is NOT! Frappes (what I grew up calling a "milk shake") are DELICIOUS! Candies and blueberry pie were also worth writing home about (which I did). Savory food items were good enough to buy if for no other reason than to continue to eat and go back for more just to feel good about getting more desserts 😁Def going back before my return trip home

Service was very good. Food good but not exceptional. Prices in the normal range (55 for 5 breakfast). Outside seating, but it's in the sidewalk for the most part. Only real down side which is a pet peeve for me is an upstairs rest room.

I wanted to give them 5 stars, but I have to be honest. I go here because I have for 40 years. Not much has changed, but sometimes change is required. The food is, the sofa fountain and candy bar serve the same food I have enjoyed all these years. The staff is good while maybe not as friendly as in the past. Over priced and average quality food, but if you want to experience life from 40 years ago this is your spot. There are vastly better places to eat within a stones throw, but none of them have the pull of sitting in the same chairs as I did as a child.

Great place to go with the family. They have a restaurant inside with diner type food and they also have ice cream. I usually go for their salt water Taffy. There's a Taffy machine inside that is often running and is fun to watch. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend stopping in. The salt water Taffy made here might be the best in the USA!

Have been going here since I was a child. Wonderful family memories getting taffy, ice cream and a good lunch with family during summer vacations. I haven’t made it there in years because adulting hasn’t allowed for it, but my Nana just had a couple boxes of the taffy kisses mailed to me in Houston, TX! Nothing better than those peanut butter kisses! It is such a great gift idea and so thankful to have such a great childhood memory still around!

Fantastic candy with a not-too-bad dine-in scene too. You MUST try the saltwater taffy; I'd recommend a 1 lb variety pack (75 pieces). There's a dozen flavors and each one is made right there on-scene (beautiful location!). If you do a mail order, expect it to come incredibly fast. I got some candy shipped 1,000+ miles away and it came within like 2 days- amazing! The Goldenrod is a wonderful place!
