They had every soda that you can possibly imagine there at least a few hundred sodas I have never seen before! Also all different candies and chocolates, stuff you can't even find anymore! My husband found a caramel toffee that he use to eat when he was a kid and you can no longer find it anywhere. It's called a Mackintosh creamy toffee. Also what I loved about this soda shop is they had different types of sodas and chocolates from different countries like Japan love trying unique stuff! They also had all kinds of vintage collectibles, which I thought was really cool. The service was great. The lady behind the register was so helpful and kind. She answered all our questions, and we love this place. We'll definitely be back again when we're in town.

The Candy Kitchen - Madeira Beach, Florida…read more At least twice a year, our family makes a point to stop at The Candy Kitchen, and it never disappoints. When we can squeeze into the original store -- small, crowded, and wonderfully cozy -- it feels like stepping straight into a slice of old‑Florida nostalgia. The newer location is fantastic too, but there's something about the original that just hits differently. The assortment of candy and small toys is endless, like a treasure hunt for kids and adults alike. And the ice cream selection? Easily the best around. The flavors are bold, creamy, and consistently top‑tier. This place is a wonderland of vintage charm, packed with color, character, and that old‑school candy‑shop fantasy you don't find many places anymore. If you're anywhere near Madeira Beach, The Candy Kitchen is an absolute must‑visit.

The staff member was absolutely amazing in helping us decide which flavors to try, ingredients, and cost. There are lots of sweet and salty flavors to sample. It is hard to choose. We had such an amazing experience we hoped they would be back after the hurricane. Instead of waiting for our next trip to Florida, we made an online order. We ordered Jan 8 and just received our order this week, Feb 20, 2025. There was one issue after another that delayed shipment. We were concerned with the lack of communication. When we finally had a response, it sounds like the owners had a lot going on. The owners sent some samples as a sorry for the issues and delay and a few other extras due to being out of the flavor that were in stock when we ordered. We appreciate the honesty and customer service from company's like this.
