Cape Cod’s Sweet Spot
A family-owned candy shop serving Cape Cod since the late 1980s, Ghelfi’s carries on three generations of candy-making traditions with locations in Falmouth and Mashpee Commons.
What You’ll Find
Ghelfi’s makes all their chocolates by hand in small batches. Their kitchen produces:
- Chocolate creams and caramels
- Nut clusters and turtles
- Chocolate barks and nonpareils
- Cherry cordials
- Fudge and brittles
Their sea salt caramels are especially popular, and kids love their selection of gummy candies. Recent additions include freeze-dried Skittles and chocolate-covered gummy bears.
The Ice Cream Connection
Both Ghelfi’s locations serve Gifford’s Ice Cream from Maine alongside their candy offerings. Popular flavors include salted caramel, black raspberry, peppermint stick, and cookie dough. Their chocolate-dipped waffle cones add an extra special touch.
