Dewar's Candy Shop
Best Candy Shop in Bakersfield · CA
Taffy chews since 1909
Dewar's has made candy in Bakersfield since 1909, and four generations later the family still hand-pulls its famous taffy chews and hand-dips its chocolates. The old-fashioned Eye Street shop pairs the candy counter with a genuine soda fountain turning out sundaes and its own ice cream.
A true century-old institution, Dewar's taffy chews are a Bakersfield rite of passage — sold by the box, mailed around the country, and unchanged in the making since the shop opened.
