    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.

    Tons of old school candy here!

    During our vacation in Emerald Isle we would were looking for a different place to have ice-cream and we came across Candy Edventure because they had chocolate covered frozen bananas that my husband loves. The ice-cream was okay. I got the moose tracks which I'd never had before so I didn't really have anything to compare it to. The candy selection was awesome, there was one whole section devoted to old school candy which my mom loves. The neat surprise was when we came outside there were all these ducklings wondering around and watching them try to find there momma. This was a nice location as well right by the water.

    "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!

    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 really do love this place, so I want to preface this by saying this comes from someone who…read moregenuinely wants to see you all thrive. I'm a local music teacher, and I often meet potential clients here instead of Starbucks because I'd much rather support a local business. This morning (7/31/26 around 9:00 AM), I had my two girls with me, ages 3 and 1. I completely understand this coffee shop is geared more toward adults, and I don't expect anyone else to parent my children. With a little supervision, though, they're usually happy to sit in the front area with a pastry and hot chocolate while I meet my client, who today was a no show lol. Today, my hands were obviously full with a baby on my hip, so I was microwaving cinnamon rolls one at a time while making sure my 3-year-old wasn't getting into anything. That's just part of being a mom, and I didn't mind doing it. What stood out was that when I asked if there were any napkins, I was told, "Nope, I think we're out." I assumed someone might grab a paper towel or another option from the back, but after waiting a few minutes while my daughter kept saying, "Mommy, sticky," I realized that wasn't happening. I finally just told her to wipe her hands on my pants because we didn't have anything else. Then I went looking for utensils to make things a little less messy and found only one fork, so my daughter and I shared it. I know these seem like small things, but my family owned a restaurant growing up, so I also know how much the little moments shape whether someone feels cared for. We live in an area with a lot of young families, and even small gestures like having napkins stocked, keeping utensils available, or offering a paper towel when someone is clearly juggling little kids can make people feel genuinely welcomed. I'll absolutely continue coming back because I really enjoy supporting your business and bringing my students there for meetings. I just wanted to share this experience because I thought it was something the owner would want to know. I hope it's received in the spirit it's intended: not as a complaint, but as feedback from someone who truly wants to see this place continue to succeed.

I live locally and can confirm this is a place locals go, it's been a couple of different restaurants over the years, all have been great but we hope Il Cigno is here to stay. If you read my reviews I try to provide data and facts and set expectations. Service / Price - I have been to the restaurant no less than 20 times and the service and people are great! Our last waitress was really fun, even though the place was at mid vacation season madness. I would recommend getting reservations for sure and give yourself time to park. It's very limited. Price, you are going to one of the best restaurants in Swansboro, that has a great wine list and world class chef cooking for you...it's not a sports bar. Expect to pay minimum $18 to $22 per person on average before alcohol. Ambiance - the palace has a fantastic back porch looking out into the White Oak River. If the weather is nice and you can get a back porch seat, it's worth it. The inside is pretty much the same it's been for years, however it's not a bad thing. It's a great combo of old beach elegance (means laid back, but you can dress up or down, have a nice romantic meal or a family dining.) The bar is pretty nice to sit and have a drink or wait for your table. It's not a sports bar, so maybe not the most ideal place to watch a game. Food - it's all good. I have to recommend the eggplant meatsballs, and I don't really like eggplant. They are absolutely fantastic. The only issue is they only give you 3 per serving, which is a little mischievous on Il Congo's part .... it makes you buy to appetizers if you have a normal party of 4. Their salads all good, the house Halibut special is amazing, and my personal fav the Tuscan Salmon. It's just all good! If you are vacationing, go, you will be glad you did.

The host and other employees quickly took to paying him LOTS of loving attention. They provided water and ice for him. They even have a dog menu - he loved the grilled chicken. The clam chowder was better than any I ever had in New England - definitely will have another serving. Hannah doubled check to ensure I had no specific dietary requirements after I made a request for no back on top. I ordered the beet salad - it was a perfect serving for lunch - it came with mixed greens instead of arugula, but that was not a big deal for me. My spouse ordered the flounder with a side of asparagus and coleslaw - all good portions. The batter on the flounder was light, which was appreciated. Service by Hannah was TOP NOTCH, very attentive to us and our furbaby. Checked on us several times, answered all of our questions about the food, shared the specials and also inquired if I wanted tea to go. It's the little details of customer service that makes a HUGE difference for us. Thanks Hannah for the EXCELLENT service - we will be back!
