Very small shop located in a plaza. I was expecting much more. The candies were ones that you can find in pretty much any store. Nothing special. The ice cream was ok, not any better or worse than any other hand dipped ice cream I've had in the past. All in all, it was just ok. I probably won't go... More

Loved the fresh waffle cone and the great homemade ice cream. Worth the long line. Staff friendly and had a complete selection of candy, even the hard to find stuff.

My daughter loves Candy Kitchen and whenever we're visiting the beach its a staple stop for us! We love all of the retro candy and wide variety of ice cream.

Got a scoop of cherry vanilla which tasted ice milky vs creamy. The other scoop was malted chocolate something and it was creamy good. Tasted like a malted shake. They have a wide variety of old school candies which was a great trip down memory lane. Too full to try them or there homemade fudge but it looked great.

Don't miss out on this place if you are visiting the area. It is a quirky, cool little ice cream parlor. The ice cream is homemade and YUMMY!! We visited twice at two different locations. The kids behind the counter were very polite and helpful in our flavor decision making. The little stores also offer up a variety of candy... More

For such a small little place, it really is packed with all kinds of sweet delights. I liked that they have old-fashioned candy and items you would think aren't available anymore or haven't seen for years. A nice little place to stop while on vacation.

Missing a certain candy from your childhood? You're sure to find it here. I'm partial to the chocolate covered bananas.

Candy Kitchen was in walking distance of our condo and after reading reviews on TA we decided to try it. The ice cream was wonderful. They had a good selection of old time candies like Mary Janes that you can't find very frequently. I did buy their salt water taffy which was at least 1/2 the price of the taffy... More

The ice cream was good, but selection was small. There was a large selection of vintage/retro style candy.

Try the Cheesecake Lolipop! The best $1.60 you will ever spend! My boyfriend is also a huge fan of their chocolate milk shakes.
