    a sign for a golden ticket

    What an outstanding little shop full of familiar favorites, whacky novelties, creative whimsy, and fun! The staff are always warm, friendly and welcoming! My family loves coming here whenever we get the chance.

    Wonderland of treats. Mix & match endless varieties of Jelly Belly, taffy, old & new favorites. There are specialty old fashioned sodas, ice cream, & even a carousel. This shoppe is yet another fantastic stop in the hidden gem that is Swanaboro.

    "I'll take you you to the candy shop..." Ok, now that I have that out of my system, let me tell you that you've gotta check this place out. Fudge, homemade chocolates, old fashioned candy, saltwater taffy and more awaits you. The ice cream is out of this world - try the butter pecan (FYI, it's pronounced "pee-can"). The little ones will be in heaven when the walk through the door. And they'll probably be in a sugar coma when they walk out. Have fun!

    Great place for the family . Can't ever go wrong with a sweet treat . The ice cream is great and the fudge is good as well . A must visit when in downtown Swansboro .

    Tons of old school candy here!

    My kids were harassed and forced to leave by the rude staff. If you don't want kids in your store perhaps try not owning a candy store...

    I have enjoyed visiting this store in the past but will not support any business selling " Let's go Brandon" candy. What a disappointment!

    The fudge was actually so gross I wish I read the reviews. Yogurt peanuts were mislabeled- it was…read moreraisins! Awful. Candy was good though.

    I have been coming to this candy store for years and have always been a loyal customer, but my…read moreexperience today was incredibly disappointing. I spent over $25 in the store, yet I was treated as if I was doing something wrong the entire time. I picked up a piece of candy using the provided tongs because the sign specifically said not to use your hands. Despite following the rules, two employees began yelling at me as if I had done something wrong. The situation got even worse when I was looking at one of the squishies. One of them was already out of its packaging before I ever touched it. An employee immediately started yelling at me and accusing me of taking it out, even after I repeatedly explained that it was already like that when I found it. Instead of listening, they continued raising their voices and treating me like I was lying. To make matters worse, the employees were also speaking about me in a different language while I was standing there. Although I could not understand everything they were saying, it was clear from their tone, gestures, and the timing of their comments that they were talking about me. This made the situation feel even more disrespectful and uncomfortable. As a customer who has supported this store for years, I found this treatment disrespectful, embarrassing, and completely unacceptable. Being publicly yelled at over things I did not do was frustrating and upsetting. Customer service should involve listening to customers before making accusations. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will seriously reconsider whether I want to return. I am incredibly angry

    This new candy place is on the boardwalk next to Britt's Donuts. They have a variety of candy as…read morewell as bottled beverages, clothing, shells, knick knacks. Candy ranges from jelly beans to chocolate-covered you name it, sour candies, and taffy. There were some candies that are old school like bazooka. I didn't see any out of this world unique kind of candies. If you want any of the candies in the glass cases, you asked the staff for a scooper and you start filling up your bag with whatever candies you want. Regardless of the candy, it's a base price of $12.99/lb, which is a bit pricey. Understandably it is the boardwalk. I was disappointed that some of the sour candies were either low or out of stock. (I arrived around 9:30 p.m. on a Tuesday) I got some sour belts-the strawberry and apple mix and sour blue raspberry belts were both good. The mango sour belts were decent-they had a strong mango flavor. I didn't really like the watermelon sour belts. They didn't have the sweet watermelon taste I was hoping for. They are only open during season and will be closed during off-season, which starts around Labor Day.

He's checked back every day since and each employee has given him a different answer but still no prize! The owner's son now says there is nothing they can do.
