Small expensive shop on the historical grounds. Good for a small piece of fudge or a turtle. But they don't serve coffee.

Cool candy shop with lots of old-fashioned candy. I had salted caramel ice cream here and it was…read morevery good. I didn't ask who makes it, maybe Leopold's, maybe it's homemade? At any rate, it was nice and creamy and tasted fresh. We didn't try the chocolates or the fudge, so I guess we'll have to come back :)

I'm posting this publicly because my private feedback to the store was ignored…read more We stopped into Jekyll Island Sweets one evening while visiting Jekyll Island for the Christmas lights. After finishing a holiday tour in one of the classic motor cars with family, we stayed behind briefly to grab a few sweets before closing. We ordered a small, straightforward purchase, totaling $53 after a $5 tip: * 2 Snowman Nutter Butters * 1 Giant Buckeye * 2 Reindeer Rods * 0.25 lb chocolate fudge (pre-cut square) * 2 Ribbon Candy (3 oz) * 1 Mini Buckeyes bag Despite the small order and the fact that we were polite and efficient, the customer service was shockingly bad. From the start, the employee rolled her eyes when I began ordering. She cut me off and said, "No, just walk over here with me." With every single item, she sighed, huffed, rolled her eyes, and asked "Anything else?" with increasing irritation--as if ordering candy in a candy store was an unreasonable burden. The worst moment came when I asked for one piece of chocolate fudge. Since the fudge was already pre-cut, I didn't know your internal terminology. Instead of simply clarifying, I was met with a sarcastic "One square or what?" Yes--one square. One piece. One item. That shouldn't be a problem. The sweets themselves were very good. Unfortunately, the customer service completely ruined the experience. What's most disappointing is that I already submitted this feedback through your receipt-based survey system and invited management to contact me. No one ever did. That tells me this behavior is either accepted or ignored. I love Jekyll Island and visit often. Sadly, I will never return to this store--not even to stand under the awning to get out of the rain. Great candy doesn't excuse treating paying customers like they're in the way.
