After completing the Swamp Rabbit trail in Greenville South Carolina, my family and I decided to…read moreexplore downtown Greenville walking the lively streets. I was in the mood for some homemade soft-serve ice cream. To our surprise we stumbled upon River Streets Sweets- an homemade candy and ice cream confectionery located in the heart of downtown Greenville. I was in Oh, with the desserts they had ranging from candy, fudge, chocolate covered apples, soft-serve ice cream, popcorn, nuts, chocolate covered pretzels/marshmallows, and so much more. Thankfully my family was there because I would have bought everything-it's a child's dream. At last I got the soft-serve ice cream I was craving all day. Let me tell you, the ice cream, gelato, and sorbet were truly homemade. To my surprise the prices were not as pricey considering they were in downtown Greenville. My family got two scoops in a cup costing $7.95 a single scoop is $4.95. The scoops are a decent size for the price you are paying. River Streets Sweets has some unique flavors that I have never heard of before, such as Bear Claw, Blueberry, Hazelnut Coffee Crunch, and Pink Grapefruit. They also serve Raspberry Sorbet sugar-free which is nice. My family decided to get Rocky Road and Bear Claw. The ice cream was so rich, creamy, and flavorful. It did not taste artificial like some ice creams in supermarkets. My whole family was pleased with the purchase. The staff were extremely friendly, especially the one member who was mending the ice cream section. She was so kind and energetic, letting my family sample the flavors before purchasing, which a lot of food businesses do not do. In addition, to my surprise, the store was huge, leaving plenty of space to walk around without running into other customers. The store was organized, making it easy to see all the yummy treats. There was no visible dirt or dust, the businesses looked polished.The only downfall would be the parking situation, since they are located in the heart of Greenville parking is limited. I would recommend walking and parking in a free or reduced parking area. The next time I am in downtown Greenville or around the area, I will be stopping by River Streets Sweets to indulge in some of their other sweet treats, such as their fudge and chocolate covered apples. I would recommend checking out River Streets Sweets if you are in the area.

I had flashbacks to the movie "Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory" - (the original one with Gene Wilder) Pure imagination... From the pink chandeliers to the giant lollipops and giant candy bars to the HUGE assortment of boxed and individually wrapped candies to the whimsical gift selection you will be tickled pink. There were homemade candies, fudge, cakes, jellybeans galore, classic candies from your childhood...SO MANY CHOICES! The mom and daughter owners, Kimberly and Claire, were the icing on top of the cupcake. Their joy and excitement were contagious. You could tell they love running this sweet little shop together. This is a must stop when you are in Pendleton. Whether you bring the kids, grandkids or just yourself, you'll be glad you did.

Pricing was very reasonable, and service was fabulous! Stepping into this delectable candy shop was amazing as the smell of chocolate just envelops you and a very large hug! Of course, we walked down the very large candy counter, picking out chocolates for later this evening, and they were very patient with us. They also had free samples of their fudge, and their brittles. They have a wonderful selection of sugar-free confections as well. The staff, was very knowledgeable on what was behind the counter, and answered quite a few questions. If you love, homemade chocolates, this store does not disappoint! Safe travels

The girl behind the counter was spectacular handled my cravings really well and I ended up getting Oreos for my daughter, and I had a selection of Petit fours and truffles, which were fantastic! I also got a couple of large pieces of peanut brittle and some pecan pralines all of which are some of the best I've had in a while. What a great place to get your sugar fix on, and the staff was super friendly, especially when they're about to close. Highly recommend!

Used to be a great and varied superior chocolate offering, colorful and joyful and definitely part of the holiday experience. Now "tastes waxy and off" as another contributor noted. 2nd Essentially they ran a very poorly worded "give away" that lists one of the prizes to be picked up in store as a $60 I store credit, but in reality when we went the person behind the counter told us it was only good online, this after he stepped away to call "someone" to get clarification. 3rd the service the last few times we were in there were lacking much in the way of friendliness or helpfulness.
