Nice candy shop to explore and taste local specialties . You can find very nice gift options to take back home. Very entertaining to see the bakers making treats with traditional equipment.

I recommend watching them make the salt water taffy from scratch. Takes a couple hours, but it's worth it!!! While they're making it, they give you free taffy!

Aaron Billings

Everything is awesome here!! We can by when they were making pralines and making taffy so we got free samples of both. If there is one place to go during your visit of Savannah go here.

Amanda Billings

SO MUCH CANDY . Amazing pralines and salt water taffy of every variety. Literally be a kid in a candy store here.

Cristen Taylor

Love watching them make the candies . Great pralines ! They usually have praline and peanut brittle samples.

It Sux To Be Fat

Looking for a healthier option ? Try a bag of raw shelled pecans , which are vitamin-rich and high in antioxidants and healthy unsaturated fat. They make a great on-the-go snack !

Leanne Wallisa

This place smells like heaven. Have so much to pick from and some stuff is made fresh right there in front of you!
