We've walked by this place 1000 times and didn't think much of it walking by. Today something in the window caught my eye and we went it. AND soooo glad we did. The items in the store brought back so many memories. We were seriously kids in a candy store. There's a great variety of "throw back" candy. And just so many options over all, including dog treats. Bust out your wallets because it's a bit pricier but so well worth it. My mouth watered eating the pecan caramel paws ( I think that's what it's called) sea salt and milk chocolate is always oh so good. Check them out as I'm sure you'll find several items to satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

I try & stop here when I am in St Augustine. My favorite is the Milk Chocolate and dark chocolate paws. The pralines are great too. Ms Catherine was very friendly & offered me a sample of the pralines. I have also been to their other store in the mall in Savannah, Ga. The pecans that they use are always so fresh. I wish I could buy some of those from them to take home. read more

My husband loves the pralines from this shop, so it's one we often visit when in the old city. We only realized recently on a trip to Savannah that this shop was a small version of the ones there. The sweet smell of candies hits you as soon as you walk through the door of this shop. Unfortunately, the place seems rather cluttered and dirty. Some of the candy trays in the cases were half full so you could see the bottom of the tray and it did not look like it had been cleaned for some time. I think the size of the shop compounds the cluttered and unclean feeling as well. I would recommend trying one of the other candy shops in town as an alternative. read more

Such a cute spot. Smells amazing. But they don't let you get smaller pieces of fudge so I had to buy a big chunk. It wasn't great, didn't have much flavor read more

Savannah Sweets - Candy Stores Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

For me, Savannah Sweets is the premier candy shop in Saint Augustine. Their pralines are next level and I usually get one daily when I'm there. This visit was no different, you won't see a picture because it was eaten too quickly. My apologies. Their use of nuts, their chocolates, their fresh preparation never fails. You can't go wrong with anything you get, and they are always creating new experiences. Pictured with this review is the genius idea to utilize Fruity Pebbles in a Rice Krispy treat. That's my next purchase. Amazing idea. The staff is always courteous and friendly. It's also nice to see candy being made fresh as part of the decor. This is one of THE Saint Augustine standards that never dissapoints. If you're going to get candy in Saint Augustine, there are many choices. None are as good as Savannah Sweets. read more

Savannah Sweets - Fruity Pebble/Rice Krispy Treat - Candy Stores Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Sweets were amazing, definitely worth stopping in and trying a praline or caramel apple! Staff was super friendly!

Every time someone visits us we always go to St Augustine. Savannah Sweets has always been so good! The pralines are the main reason we go! They are usually delicious. I would go buy a few pounds and ship to my son overseas while in the military. But, About 3 weeks ago we were there, bought a pound and a half of pralines. So, so disappointed. They were hard, not fresh. Terrible!!! Usually they are so soft, melt in your mouth. These were not. When we go again, I will ask for a sample before buying. I wasted my money this trip and they are not cheap!!! read more

The caramel oreo is a MUST try. Went with my sister and we got a variety of treats for ourselves and for our 4-legged baby. Everything was so good but the winner was for sure the caramel oreo (surprised even half made it to the picture). read more

They have the best pralines around. Great service too! I think we ate 3lbs in 5 days.

We purchased chocolate covered graham crackers, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered toffee Oreos, rice krispy treats, chocolate covered caramels. EVERYTHING was SUPER stale. It was all gross. Nothing was fresh. Nothing. read more

This shop is the perfect end to a perfect day. I LIVE SAVANNAH SWEETS !! I purchased truffles four different flavors White Russian, Pumpkin, Mint, and Dark Chocolate Pretzel read more

Savannah Sweets offers nearly any type of fudge and candy related items that your heart may desire. You can sample one fudge and one praline on each visit. I do not eat fudge that much so I was treating myself. They had a fudge with coconut that was very tasty. I've never seen anything like it. The associate explained they have seasonal fudges. He was nice and had patience as I wasn't sure which praline I wanted to sample. The praline was my not my favorite, but I think that's because of the flavor I tried. And the fudge was not as soft as I have had in the past but the flavor was still great. I would recommend this spot to fulfill your sweet tooth needs. read more

Pralines are always delicious. Any time I am in town I have to pick some up. Love this place!

Stop in here if you have a sweet tooth or if you're looking for gifts for someone who does! The smell of delicious candy will draw you in and the sight of all the freshly made treats will have you smiling like a kid. We got a few of the turtles -- milk chocolate with walnuts and dark chocolate with almonds. So tasty! Our favorite of the day was the praline! They'll give you a sample if you've never had one before. It was divine and I wish we'd bought a whole bag full. Can't wait to come back here again soon! read more

I bought candy from this company as I do every year but this year made it difficult after spending $46 and pearlings a bit into a durable plastic object that loosen my tooth. I contact the store by phone and emails several times and never response. Be careful there is no concern of customers. what looks good won't be good for you. read more

When you need some chocolate walking around St. Augustine stop in here. They have a great selection of sweets to enjoy and take with you. My wife and daughter love stopping here. read more

The smell coming from the building really brought me off St. George Street. Perhaps the best pralines I have ever come across... silky smooth texture, crunchy pecans and a nice buttery overtone. The pecan logs were a disappointment... marshmallow centers are a no-no when making pecan puffs. I liked the "old fashioned" counter displays of confections and the staff was quite nice and accomodation. The smell brings you in and the pralienes thank you for your visit. read more

Savannah Sweets - Lit at night - Candy Stores Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Ordered Mothers Day candy online . Never got the candy delivered . Called and left 2 voicemails E-mailed 3 times never got a call nor a response . I would not recommend this joke of a company to anyone . read more

This is exactly how candy shops should be! They were passing out free samples on the street, and though we didn't take one, it gave us incentive to step in and check it out. The firs thing you notice about this place is the aroma of candies being made....it smells so rich and lovely of melted butter and sugars! While they have a big prep station, we didn't see any being made by hand, just working away in the machines. The displays were great and full of items made in shop, and the walls were lined with some grab and go gift bags of candy and also of other commercially made harder to find sweets. If you need anymore validation of this place, I spent $30 on treats for presents. It's that nice of a shop! read more

The fudge and caramel apples are delish and they were super helpful at the counter. Will go there more often for my chocolate fix!

Smells delicious, tastes delicious! This place is delightful, and has far more variety than the other shops on St. George. The fudge is delicious (red velvet!), and this time I bought chocolate covered caramel corn as a special treat. Mmm! read more

My kids and I drove down to Savannah sweets just for the pralines and we were all disappointed by the taste and texture of the pralines. We've had pralines in New Orleans and Savannah and couldn't get enough but the pralines here are just different....like in a bad way. We won't be returning during our vacation in Florida. read more

They have hands down the best chocolate! If you have a sweet tooth this is a must visit! Honestly, the chocolate Buckeyes are to die for! Chocolate covered marshmallows! Sign me up! read more

We were pulled inside by the amazing chocolate scent! The employee was so sweet and recommended her favorites! The Buckeyes, white chocolate turtles, and chocolate marshmallows are what we ended up with. They did not disappoint and we will definitely go back next time we are in town! read more

I'm probably not the most qualified to be rating confectioner shops but I know what I like, and this is one of those things that I like. It astonished me how expensive shop-made sweets can be but I figured that I was probably going to be getting products of high quality. I was definitely right when it came to this aspect, especially with the pralines. This decadence was absolutely wonderful and made me realize how a lot of things in life come at a high price. For around $2.50 per praline, they were not cheap but definitely worth it. The rest of the store had a wonderful selection, with fudge, chocolates, apples, pralines, brittle, truffles, and more. Everything seemed great but sadly, it was not possible to try everything. It wasn't even the fact that my stomach wouldn't be able to take it. I just wish I could say the same about my credit card because this was the only thing stopping me. I also liked the fact that you can see everything being made in the shop. And after asking the cashier how much of the products were made in the shop, I was pleasantly surprised with his answer at around 97%. I wish there were one of these shops in Miami, but its good that there isn't, or I would go broke. read more

You will not find any fresher or better tasting candy. The pecan paws and the pralines can not be beat. Also try the rice krispie treats. I know what you are thinking "what is so special about a rice krispie treat?" Nothing, until you add a layer of caramel topped with chocolate. read more

Was really excited to try the TOFFEE STICK. Paid $5.00 and expected chocolate covered TOFFEE on a stick. What I got was chocolate covered marshmellow with the tiny amount of toffee sprinkled on the outside. When I went back in to express my disappointment the 2 young ladies were rude and unapologetic and didn't know how to turn a lemon into lemonade. Needless to say I'm local and will be sending people to Whetsones or Kirwins rather than this bate and switch place. read more

Really great people and sweets. We love stopping by and creating a sweet moment. Out of the different sweet spots this one is by far the best. read more

Good place if you want caramel, nuts, and chocolate covered anything, but doesn't do much in the exploring of flavors beyond that.

The best pralines in St. Augustine! We went to A LOT of candy shops, and Savannah Sweets had the freshest candy and the most variety. I will definitely return on my next trip to St. Augustine! read more

You will not find a better " homemade sweets and treats" place. I can never decide if I want to get a chocolate covered oreo, or fudge, or chocolate covered Rice Krispie treat, or a marshmallow covered in all kinds of goodies... I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE STUFF I LOVE THERE. Hands down though you have to try their PRALINES, OH MY GOSH! If I lived closer I would be so fatttt hahaha read more

I explored many of the chocolate and candy shops in St. Augustine, and this was my favorite. The prices were the most reasonable of any shop I went into, and the selection was incredible. I left with some delicious fudge as well as treats to bring home for friends and family. Everything has wonderful quality flavor! I recommend the red velvet cake fudge especially! read more

Amazing caramel apples!! My gf has been craving a caramel apple since we went to Disney this past October. We forgot to buy one when we left and has been wanting one since then. We found this shop walking around St. Augustine and of course had to purchase one. She got a caramel apple with sprinkles. When we got back to the hotel, she dug in and loved it! I enjoyed it too, even though I'm not a huge fan of caramel apples. We'll have to stop by tomorrow for some more before we leave. read more

This is a really cool shop that we had high expectations for, but unfortunately the quality of our purchases was a really mixed bag. The fudge and Rice Krispies were excellent, but the $9 bag of caramel popcorn that we bought was some of the stalest I've ever had. There was no crunch whatsoever! We probably just got some of an old batch but it was very disappointing nonetheless. read more

This is a great candy shop! They have a wonderful variety, the customer service is exceptional, the candy that the 5 of us tried was amazing! My daughter and I love cheese popcorn, so I bought 3 bags. We tried it that evening, it was stale. Since we were close by, and I had spent $22.00 on it, I decided to try returning it. The woman that was there that morning, possibly the manager or owner could not have been more apologetic! She said that it was hard to store due to humidity in Florida. She profusely apologized, could not have been sweeter, returned my money, and to top it off - she also gave me a box of pralines for my trouble!!! I tried to pay because I was going to buy some more anyway, she was not having it! The popcorn issue is understandable here in the summer. I will definitely always make a point to visit Savannah Sweets, any time I visit St. Augustine! Try it, you won't be disappointed! read more

My experience with Online Ordering of the Free Pralines plus shipping was disappointing. The pralines apparently crystallized...white on top, crumbling with rubbery pecans. I contacted the company and they replied that they would investigate. No word after contact. The pralines could have been left over from the holidays. Not worth shipping costs. read more

Every time we go to St. Augustine I have to stop here for pralines. Not every confectioner makes pralines and not every one makes them RIGHT. Savannah Sweets does both. My husband loves the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. read more
