Seaport Fudge Factory in downtown San Diego has operated inside Seaport Village on West Harbor Drive since 1991, making it one of the longest-running confectioneries on the San Diego waterfront near the USS Midway Museum. More than 20 fudge varieties are cooked and pulled on marble slabs in full view of the shop floor, a live-production format that shares the open-kitchen transparency of Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop in the Gaslamp Quarter. The menu extends well beyond fudge into hand-dipped caramel apples with specialty coatings — cookies-and-cream, cheesecake crumble, peanut — plus chocolate-dipped strawberries, Dole Whip soft serve, loaded sundaes, and milkshakes. Seasonal confection runs introduce holiday-themed marshmallow pops, dipped Oreos, and gift boxes built for shipping, adding a mail-order layer to the walk-in retail model. Women-owned and positioned on the Embarcadero tourism corridor that also feeds foot traffic to HINAR Dessert Bar & Café, the factory anchors Seaport Village's dessert draw. The most complex production runs are bulk corporate gift orders of custom-wrapped fudge assortments and caramel-apple trays packaged for convention groups at the nearby San Diego Convention Center.
