The Candy Kitchen is the best. My husband is an ice cream connisuer, had it all of the world. It is very creamy and made on site.

Hands down, this is the best ice cream in Florida! The staff at Candy Kitchen is always friendly, the ice cream is always delicious and made from scratch...and they have all the candy from your childhood. Some of our favorite flavors - Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Butterfinger, Cotton Candy, Vanilla Peanut Butter, Chico Stick, Cookies & Cream (Oreo). read more

Candy Kitchen - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Redington Shores, Florida

You want to go back to your childhood with penny candies and limited edition flavors, this is your place. I was like a kid in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, eye bigger than my stomach with all the choices of my favorite candies. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find Chick-o-Sticks now. The ice cream and Italian ice are very good, with many different flavors to choose from. The staff while busy was extremely polite and patient when my wife felt the pressure to make a choice after tasting a few flavors -- the line was winding out the door. Our friend warned us about the parking and the popularity of the Indian Shore location...we should have listened. There is limited parking so be on the lookout for a spot. The line will be out the door, though it does move quickly. If you are claustrophobic you may want to send someone in to buy sweet treat for you. They could benefit from a larger store front though I feel like this is part of the allure of the place. read more

Great selection of nostalgic candy and toys. Candy cigs! Those always crack me up. I got the brownie sundae and it was better than Oberweiss! Freshly baked brownies in house and homemade whipped cream. I love that. Girl working was very sweet. Great spot right across from the beach too. Support local! read more

This Candy Kitchen sells loose candy in 1/3 ounce containers for $5 a container. That makes the price of each candy $15 a pound. The Madeira Beach location sells candy from jars with prices ranging from $9.99 per pound to $11.99 per pound; and since they calculate the price by weight you can get as little or as much as you want. So technically the Redington Beach location is ripping you off by selling candy for about a third higher than the other location. For that they lose a star. If you want to buy any of the candy that the Reddington Beach location has pre-packaged in 1/3 ounce containers, instead head for the Madeira Beach location and save several dollars. Well worth the 5 minute drive. read more

We are in town on vacation but went to the candy kitchen for ice cream a couple of times. The ice cream is good- less expensive than most of the other places we've gone. They have a large selection of flavors- but mostly the young man that works there is such an asset to the business. He actually tries to get to know the customers- very rare these days. This is a great place to visit if you are looking for a sweet treat. They have a large selection of retro candy as well. read more

We were here last fall, but I've been too busy to write a review. This is a historic shop and a family tradition for us while in Florida. We actually go to the other location more frequently, but we happened to be closer to this one after a day on the beach, so we gave it a try. We were pleasantly surprised with the selection of candy, ice cream, and other knickknacks that this location had to offer. For the first time, I got a freshly made ice cream sandwich, that was as huge as a burger. It was delicious and it melted quickly in the hot sun, so it forced me to finish it quickly... next time I'll start it inside so that I can savor the flavors longer. Lastly, Sean was an absolute superstar in his patience and service. While I was waiting as our family explored the store, Sean gave me a quick history lesson on the store, the area during the hurricanes, and his future goals. He also took care of our daughter, when her water toy wasn't working properly and actually comped us a toy after there was an issue with one. We are forever fans and will be back soon! read more

A single scoop is huge!!! There's parking out front as well as a paid lot across the street. Walk up ice cream counter makes service easy for ordering. Try flavors to find the perfect one for you! Their peanut butter Oreo icecream is fabulous. A perfect beach snack. read more

Small shop has been around forever but this was our first visit. Customer service was friendly and attentive. Hot fudge sundaes were the bomb! Best hot fudge around. Size of scoops were very generous as well. We will go back! read more

This was extremely Gucci, tasted like a million dollars. Rate this 10/10 any day and is the reason why I am fat. It is so exciting to eat and will enjoy it forever. It is sigma rizzy it gets me dizzy. For all the haters out there, please back off, because it is actually amazing. Now talking about the candy, it is elite. I loveeee the gummy sharks, it tastes like paradise. This is my favorite candy shop ever, and you are stupid if you don't come here. It would probably give me diabetes for how much I go there, but is totally worth it. Like kids say it is " sigma, rizzy, gucci, bussin, and skibidi." So if you don't visit here your mom loves me more than you. Peace out love y'all read more

I usually stay in madiera beach/ treasure island area but this year we stayed in redington beach so this was our first time at this location. Stopped twice so far and have only been here for 3 days. Young staff but they are so friendly and polite! Please tip them well!!!! Extremely helpful and patient. This location is larger and more organized than the original location in madiera but same ice cream. Please visit!!! Great ice cream and good price! Ice cream made at this location I do believe. read more

Love this old school ice cream and candy shop. They also sell small vintage toys. My kids always have a blast when we go. Definitely a nice sweet and cold reprieve from the heat of the beach. Definitely check them out if you're over at the beach. They are worth the stop. Sugar free flavors as well for the health conscious. read more

Really good ice cream, huuuuge portions! The ice cream sandwiches are fab. However, they are light on the peanut butter and the gummi sour octopus candies only have 7 legs. Big disappointment. Gummi sour sharks... fierce. read more

What a quante little place. This was our first visit to this place and we really enjoyed it. Had to check out the candy 1st andc take a trip dowm memory lane of all the old fashioned candies we had as a kid. Also the vintage games and toys were an added bonus. End up getting a old electronic football game. The ice cream itelf was delicious. I had a scoop of the vanilla peanut butter( 1st time seeing this flavor) and the birthday cake. My husband had a cookies and cream malt. Thought the ice cream was rich, creamy, and flavorful. Good service as well. We would suggest checking it out. read more

Super friendly staff, awesome ice cream and all the nostalgia candy you can think of! Highly recommend the peanut butter Oreo ice cream. So good. read more

Neat little place. Any Candy you could want. Very nostalgic. Ice cream was yummy! Server was friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped in after dinner and got a single scoop of Nutella Oreo, asked for a double and she said are you sure our double is 6 to 8 scoops, so I got a single and it is a lot of ice cream. The Nutella Oreo was all gone the next day I went back to get more because it was so good. The gumming candy was very fresh and chewy, not hard and chewy. Most ice cream places in Michigan serve ice cream you can get in a grocery store how original. You need to go here for your ice cream and candy needs read more

Not sure if it's just nostalgia or a sheer fascination with the many variety of candies that are made in the world, but Candy Kitchen is a retro-candy lover's dream shop. They have everything from modern candy, to gummy sushi, to astronaut ice cream, to candy cigarettes (lol). Definitely fun to browse the selection and take a walk down memory lane. Also... they have ice cream. Quite a few flavors to boot. This past time I opted for the rocky road single sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry. It's HUGE. Definitely worth the money! I've also had their chocolate dipped ice cream sandwich, which is to die for. Come for the candy, stay for the ice cream! read more

A staple when you visit Redington or Madeira beach! This location has friendly staff, a variety of candies, old and new, and so many ice cream flavors! We got the killer sundae with home made fudge of your choice on the bottom, home made ice cream of your choice, and a topping or two of your choice for $6 each. Totally worth it!!! Got some candies that had us reminiscing our child hood. Love this place! read more

Such a cute little shop. This is the best ice cream I've ever had!!!! And the staff was so friendly. I'll be back!

Nice little shop with lots of selection. Friendly staff. There are several places that are similar here. This one was the only one worth reviewing. read more

Still haven't heard from here after my horrible experience. Unreal for a family location

This place had a huge line outside so it seemed like it was going to be great. It was only okay. People were all pisses around bc they had to wait (which I know is not about the business but still affects the experience). The ice cream was okay and candy was a cool experience but nothing to write home about. I thought it was a bit overpriced and overhyped. Okay experience for one time though. ‍ read more

Very very disappointed of how much more expensive everything was at Candy Kitchen. Everything in there was 25% to 35% higher in price. Did not feel the love. We will not be going back. read more

This place is a steal. Where else on the main strip can you walk out with ice cream for four at $12. We will be back multiple times this vacation. read more

I am a absolute icecream lover. I do like that there are lots of retro candies, pop rocks and other candies. But it was one of the worst icecream I've had. I tried about 3 flavors Cherry vanilla, Twinkie, cookies and creme. I ended up getting cookies and creme in a sugar cone. The lady put 4 scoops of icecream into the small cone. The icecream almost fell out of the cone. The prices are fair but the icecream wasn't great. read more
