A must visit if you’re in the area! Katie and Adrianna made our shopping experience delightful. They know how to make tourists feel welcome. They were helpful, kind, and understanding. We found unexpected treasures beyond the confectionery type. Check this place out.

This candy shop is always a fun stop, and since my wife is constantly on the lookout for candy shops wherever we go, we make it a point to swing by when we’re in the area. They always have a solid selection of taffy and rotate the flavors which makes it fun to switch things up each time we visit. The store isn’t huge by any means, but they pack a ton of variety inside. I also like grabbing some of the Mexican candy while we’re there, and it’s always cool to look at the massive gummies even though we never actually get them because they’re just way too big. The sour belts are definitely a favorite too. Now, I will say the staff can be hit or miss, and unfortunately not the friendliest or most welcoming overall. The guy working the counter seemed more focused on his coworker's school drama and was talking pretty loudly and laughing while we were browsing. A little boy nearby was checking out the chocolates, clearly excited, and the guy actually snapped at him to hurry up and choose. His dad looked shocked and ended up not buying anything after that.

Staff was so extremely rude - it was genuinely disgusting. Felt as if he was racially discriminating us because we were people of colour. Truly shameful behaviour for a place on the pier. If you don’t have the patience to speak or serve your customers then don’t go into the service business.

The staff seemed impatient and somewhat rude, which made me feel unwelcome. I understand that busy times can be stressful, but a little more kindness and patience would go a long way in creating a better customer experience. I hope they take this feedback into consideration for future interactions.

Kids that impulse buy place and for good reason. They take what makes these places so special and cram it all into a tighter space so it’s there for everyone to enjoy. They also did a great job of bringing some of the past retro candy feels to life, something I have always been a fan of.They had some great flavored popcorn there, just saying. 🍭 #sugar #candy #sodafountain #beachfun
