Smell was so wonderful when we entered, had a couple of samples and an ice cream. Wanted to have much more but couldn't manage In and out , was fast service .

Yum Yum. Yum... There are so many words that fit your Yum Yum Yum. Excellent pralines excellent chocolate excellent gelato ice cream excellent candy options. I highly recommend a trip.

So if you like the diabetes this is definitely going to be your friend LOL. I'm only kidding, but it's a lot of sugars here. The parking is deck parking, and its free for a couple of hours. That is aside from it being game day, at that point all bets are off with parking. Here you can taste some of the candy that they have there, they have some ice cream, and they have a boatload of all the other wrapped goodies for you. I'm not really a candy fan by any means though, but if you are or you have small kids with you they will have a field Day. You'll go ahead and talk to the person at the register and they'll get you straightened out, from when I've been there. They've been super friendly so I don't have any complaints.

Me and my family went to a baseball game and stopped in here after. They have all the old school candies that used to be in the bubble gum machine. We filled up a bag and the ice cream was good as well. Shout out to Avery for having outstanding customer service

River Street Sweets is a candy and sweets shop at The Battery. If the store's doors are open, customers can just smell the sweetness flowing out toward The Battery walkway. The store isn't that big, but it has a lot of product packed in there, and still has space for customers to walk through without running into each other. Lots of sweets here: a wall full of unpackaged loose candies that customers can dispense by themselves from canisters and bins (at $16.95 per lb!); ice cream and gelato scooped up by employees; hand dipped candy and caramel apples, and Rice Krispy treats; various flavors of fudge; sweets made with fruits; hand made chocolate clusters and candies; their "World Famous Pralines" and so much more! The owners should train all of their employees how to provide great customers service. Only one of the four employees that I saw was actually assisting customers. This guy was helping all of the customers, answering their questions, scooping up ice cream and gelato, and other tasks, while the other three even disappeared off of the sales floor for a while, leaving only one employee helping about 15 customers (not all together). R stopped another of the employees to tell her he wanted to get a caramel apple, and she turned to the busy employee and told him to assist R, and then she disappeared from the floor. This store has a lot of sweets and candies that many people love, but I think that most of the items are overpriced, especially the $16.95 per pound candies along the candy wall. Customers dispense or select the candies by themselves, and there is a scale to determine the weight of the candies, but, seriously, you still have to pay for everything you've already dispensed, so keep this in mind when dispensing candies from the canisters.

Finished having dinner and was checking out all the cool places in the Battery and came across this candy store. Went in and it had a steady flow of customers coming in and out but wasn't overwhelming. Everything was very neat, clean and well organized. I grabbed a half pound of assorted candy and it may or may not be gone already . All really fresh. I'd come back.

This place smells yummy! I felt like I had been to somewhere similar and turns out I had been. There's a location off of Broadway in Nashville, TN. This location is smaller but still has lots of yummy treats and goodies. It's located in the Battery in Atlanta, GA. My friend and I just looked around. Neither one of us bought anything; I think because we had just finished a delicious brunch at a nearby restaurant. The staff appeared to be hard at work. Unfortunately, no one greeted us or asked if we needed any assistance. Overall, this was a cool little adventure. I am happy to know that this candy shop exists and is in closer proximity than the one in Nashvegas!

Will making fresh pralines

While we were waiting for a table at the Yard House in the Battery, we stopped into River Street Sweets. Patrick enticed us with a free sample of warm, fresh pralines. They were amazing. We also sampled a few flavors of gelato. Everything tasted great. After trying the praline samples, Sidney enticed us to purchase some. I had intended on purchasing one, but Sidney convinced me to buy two. They were soft and super sweet. The prices are a little high in the candy store, but the fresh pralines are definitely worth it. I'll be back the next time I visit the Battery.

The candy was almost depleted. Ice cream was okay. Not really a lot to choose from and the prices are a bit high for quality of candy.

A family-owned business too - I happened there just after the scronuts were sold out for the day (be forewarned- they go fast)! The owner (I'm not sure if it's specifically female-owned vs family-owned) was so hospitable in tempering my disappointment (I was visiting the area). I instead went for a croissant breakfast sandwich (also a backup option as they offer this with the biscuit dough) and it was delicious. Not over-weighted on the croissant bread, it was just right. The next day, my colleague ordered ahead and got a box so I got to taste a variety of scronuts. It tasted like a slightly crispier coffee cake. While my colleague thought it was too sweet (she sugars her coffee), I had a black decaf with mine and it was just right. Our other coworkers also dug in and there wasn't any left over. Next time I'm in Atlanta, I'll be back for the food, and the hospitality. Thank you!

I am not the type to give praise easily, but I was absolutely floored by this experience…read more First off, it's family run and the entire family is fun to chat with, personable, and very willing to make menu recommendations. Monsieur Flaky - We came in late and they were out of croissants, but they offered it on a sourdough biscuit....my God. It actually makes me so mad that they are several states away from us. Georgia is so blessed to have them . This hit every savory note for me and was served piping hot with a biscuit that was crisp and lightly salted on the outside with the softest fluffiest composition inside. The second I bit into this I knew the sconut was going to wreck my life. Sconut - Yup. Devastated me. The cinnamon roll was hands down my favorite, but I'm willing to hop on a plane to try their lemon when it hits the shelves again. Typically, if a place floors you on a particular food item, they drop the ball on a side, dessert, or drink. That's not my rule it's just what traditionally happens. So I fully expected to take a few polite sips of matcha honey oat latte and grab something else later...so imagine my surprise when they rocked that too! Matcha based drinks are NOT easy to hit. They are very easy to slip up on and are somewhat dependent on how strong you like your matcha. Fortunately, they thought to ask us how strong we wanted our matcha and it was easily one of the best drinks I've ever had. I'm at a loss for constructive feedback. The only thing I could ask for is delivery options to Texas. We hope to return soon!!!

I love It's Sugar. Being from New York, I'm super familiar with it, and it's always been a go-to…read morespot to satisfy sweet cravings. I've been a fan of the licorice strings since I was a kid--my mom loves them, and now my son does too. We went to the Atlantic Station location over the weekend--either Saturday or Sunday--and while the store itself is cute and colorful, the service left a lot to be desired. And honestly, it's not the first time I've had that experience there. Sometimes you walk in and get great service, and other times it's just rude. And that matters, especially in a space that's made for kids and families. Good service should come standard in a customer-facing role. This time, I went in with my mom and my 5-year-old son. He's pretty independent and knows how to go in and get his candy. When we got inside, he opened one of the candy containers to grab a bag and get his licorice strings. Nothing crazy. Out of nowhere, one of the employees--a dark-skinned young lady with braids in pigtails--shouted across the store, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" It was loud, unnecessary, and completely uncalled for. My son froze, confused. I froze. My mom froze. We didn't know what was going on. She rushed over, didn't ask a single question, didn't clarify anything--just grabbed the entire candy container and walked it behind the register. My son turned to me and said, "Mommy, what happened?" And I honestly didn't have an answer for him. He hadn't touched anything yet--he was just in front of the bin, doing what he always does. And even if she thought he had touched the candy, there was a much better way to handle it. You don't shout across a store at someone's child--especially when the parent is right there. A simple, "Hey, could you help him with that?" would've been just fine. It took everything in me to stay calm, because I was really upset. I didn't even want to buy anything after that. But we went ahead and got his licorice, and my mom picked up a few things. At the register, that same employee clearly picked up on my energy because her entire demeanor changed. But by then, the damage was done. It's disappointing because I actually like this store. The candy selection is fun--it's not full of specialty candies, but it's bright and cute and great for kids. Still, the service is what makes or breaks it, and in this case, it really broke it. This isn't the first time I've experienced this at this location, and honestly, I don't know if I'll be going back. If you do stop in, go for the candy. But don't expect much from the service.

I visited the It's Sugar location at Atlantic Station today with my grandchildren. While shopping,…read moreI noticed several images displayed throughout the store that I found unsettling and inappropriate for a family-friendly environment. The pictures were visible in multiple areas and made both me and my grandchildren uncomfortable.

Every so often, you need to go and check out an old-school store. That can include a soda fountain,…read moresome sort of clothing store with fashion of yesteryear, or in this case a candy store. Located inside Ponce city market, this place will satisfy your sweet tooth as well as your desire to see the sorts of things that your grandparents checked out as a cure for their sweet tooth. The footprint of this place is pretty limited, but I've got to goor amount of stuff here. There's an impressive selection of different types of gummy's. Seeing as we were in Atlanta, it felt like the kids probably needed some of the cola gummy's. Had they been there, I'm sure they would've been jockeying for just about anything. There's a good specialty chocolate selection, though the options that included dark chocolate were unfortunately sparse. However, if you're a milk chocolate fan, they've got a lot of different options for you. There were lots of larger than normal options of things like sugar daddies, candy bars, as well as a bunch of $.25-$.75 candies. The yard of Snickers was probably the item that was the most intriguing while also being the least likely thing for me to buy on that particular day. The gumball selection was also very impressive, with the oversized gumballs ultimately being the choice for the kids. These gumballs were slightly larger than a golf ball that were filled with nerds. I think they were something like two dollars apiece, but it definitely brought more than two dollars worth of joy! These things were massive and came in about 6 or 7 colors, which made it easy to decide to get three of the same color so as to prevent a meltdown over how everyone else got the color they wanted! All in all, a nice trip down memory lane and a good spot to grab a treat for the kids!

Starting with the downside: there are a few items that feel slightly overpriced. Not many, but enough to notice. That said, most of the menu is either fairly priced or even a great value when you consider how good everything tastes. When I first walked in, I had no expectations at all. What I found was a cute, welcoming ice cream and candy shop that immediately made a great first impression. The associate greeted us warmly, almost as if we were family. He offered samples of the ice cream and took the time to explain everything we asked about, answering questions thoroughly and genuinely. His customer service alone made the experience stand out. We ended up visiting twice during our stay in town for a convention. On the first visit, I tried the chocolate-covered graham cracker, which tasted exactly like a portable s'mores--sweet, nostalgic, and very satisfying. On our second visit, I went for ice cream and tried the blueberry cheesecake flavor. If you've ever had a frozen cheesecake from the freezer section of a grocery store, this flavor is spot on. It had the same familiar taste and balance, which made it surprisingly comforting and enjoyable. Would I recommend this place? Absolutely--five times over. If I were in the area regularly, I could easily see myself stopping in every single day. From the desserts to the location to the friendly associate, everything about this place feels welcoming and homey. If you find yourself nearby, do not hesitate to stop in. It's the kind of place that turns a simple dessert run into a genuinely pleasant experience.
