We were drawn into the Flip Flop Shop by all the stuffed animals on the porch! I saw them while we…read morewere driving by and just knew we had to stop there. We found parking easily every time we went to this area in front of the church which was super nice because everywhere else on the island parking is a literal bear an agitated one at that lol. We walked down to the shop some places had nice shaded wooden porches to walk under and a path a little further from the main road which was nice. When we made it we looked at all the stuffies on the porch and then ventured inside. They have beach hats, clothing for ladies and men, toys, souvenirs and candy. I don't know about your kids but mine right now is obsessed with squishy dumplings if a store has them she can find them in mere minutes! They had several varieties including glow in the dark ones, they had the squishy cheese (which she says is "the best"), and squishy gummy bears (regular colors and glitter ones). We ended up getting a dumpling and a squishy gummy bear. Service was friendly and store was clean and organized. We ended up checking out pretty quickly once we were ready which was great because my husband was waiting for us outside with the pup! Definitely check it out if you have kiddos they will love it!!

Very clean, very nice detailed store. The candy looked very fresh too and not dry like some stores in the area. Very impressed.

We chatted a bit and we complimented each other on our nails :) even though her's were much better than mine! I will def be back next year!

I tried the Road Trip flavor along with a seasonal vanilla and chocolate flavor, and both were rich, bold, and delicious. The portions were generous, and the ice cream held up all the way to the beach. The shop has a fun, nostalgic atmosphere with throwback toys and family-friendly vibes. I also loved being able to scan the menu while waiting in line. The cookies and giant fudge bars are definitely on my list for next time. A great ice cream stop that I'd happily visit again!

They have a huge wall of all kinds of flavored taffy. We ended up buying half a pound and would buy more, but we will be back. I had to dock a star as I couldn't tell which taffy was which after dropping them in my bag since they didn't have labels on them. Would be good to somehow label them. Otherwise, great customer service and a cool tangy stretching machine is running in their front window. If you like taffy, this place will definitely stretch your wallet...lol.

If you have been to Savannah, GA, you may be familiar with the Pecan Praline treats. They have them here. They are really good and sweet and dissolve in your mouth like soft crystals. They have different flavors but I liked the sample of turtle the most. Besides these Savannah Sweets, they have chocolates, candies, ice cream and sorbet. I really didn't feel like ice cream but my husband did so we shared the butter pecan. It was pretty good. We also tasted the toasted coconut but the butter pecan was better. Everyone here was super nice and walked outside and offered ice water to everyone. Such a great friendly detail considering how hot it is right now. Definitely a cute sweet spot to visit in St. Armand's Circle. Also many shops are closed after sunset but they do stay open later.
