UPDATE! Took the wife on a lunch date to day Nov 1 2025. She loved the sandwich that she got. Love the owners so friendly and nice! What a delightful hidden gem we discovered today! If you haven't yet visited this charming little shop, make the drive — it's truly worth it, no matter where you're coming from. The food is freshly sourced every day, ensuring top-notch quality. The customer service is exceptional; I felt an instant connection with the owner, who are incredible hospitable and friendly. I can't wait to bring my wife here for a date night! My business partner ordered the "Outsider" sandwich, and just seeing it made my mouth water. I opted for the "Big Hat Rob" salad, and let me tell you, it was fresh, crisp, and absolutely delicious. The BBQ chicken added just the right subtle zip to the ranch dressing, which came from an impressive variety of options. Florence may seem like a quiet town, but this restaurant is a fantastic testament to the quality and bold flavors that small towns can offer. Don't miss out on this wonderful experience!

- No samples for fudge - I stopped by at roughly 3pm on a weekday, they're getting ready to close for the day, there were no other patrons when I walked in, it was very quiet and clean. They have a very nice little selection of fudge, I recently visited a fudge company in Sedona just the day before and I wasn't too thrilled so I needed another option to compare the two. Florence Fudge does it right, priced at $4.50/quarter, perfectly squared up with a nice sticker or tape to make sure it doesn't come undone, appreciate that. I delivered a box of 4 squares to the owner of a local ice cream shop in Apache Junction (AZ VOLCANO), just because it's a nice thing to do, and then I went home and tried the Chocolate Amaretto because I was curious what it tasted like (got my own box of 4 squares). Wow. That's incredible, I took a gamble, asked the man what his favorite was, and this is what he said - I agree - that's a good flavor right there. This tastes like quality, I'm okay with the fact they don't do samples here, even though they're slightly more expensive than the fudge place I was at in Sedona, the quality is higher here at this fudge shop in Florence. They also have a bunch of sandwiches and food options you can order, saw salads on there too, get your fudge and a salad (: I am not a huge fan of metal chair seating, bit uncomfortable for a larger person, but you do have a couple small seating options just right outside the door. I love it, still have 3 others to try, and I'm glad Florence Fudge is not too far away from home. I will being going back in the future.

First time eating at Florence Fudge Shop and Café. Great food and great people! Can't wait to go back and bring family members and friends with me! Told my wife i was going to "eat my way" through their menu! Looking forward to my next meal! You definitely owe it to yourself to go there!
