A sweet shop on the main street in the village . They have all kinds of candy, ice cream, fudge and merchandise. I couldn't resist the praline and it was really good. The young lady who helped me was very friendly even though she had quite a crowd and was by herself at the time. I will be back! read more

St. Simons Sweets - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - St Simons Island, Georgia

An old-fashioned sweets shop with homemade candies, think peanut cluster, buckeyes, turtles, etc., ice cream and any candy you enjoyed during your youth (i.e., jujifruits, maryjanes, smarties, etc.) I opted for a single buckeye and peanut butter cookie. My husband ordered key lime ice cream and when I tasted it, I had to have that, too. Don't be like me and over order. One scoop of ice cream should have been more than enough, but I added on a scoop of cookies and cream. I probably had more than a half pint of ice cream. Key lime was so good. Cookie and buckeye were enjoyed a couple of days later. Also very good. read more

St. Simons Sweets - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - St Simons Island, Georgia

Ice cream is good but why is it always soft. I like my ice cream extra cold and firm. All the times I've been here the ice cream is melted, so by the time you get it, pay, and get out, it's already like soup. I just saw the health code violation that they have based on cleanliness. Cmon Simon's sweet shoppe let's get it together! Service is meh. Helpers never smile and some girl had on her headphones and he couldn't hear what I was asking her! No attentive customer service here. read more

We visited this place almost nightly when we were in the area. Clearly, this is either a popular spot for treats or they know what they are doing in the treats department cause every night we visited, the line stayed out the door. They have an assortment of specialty ice cream, there is something for the entire family. There is not a place you can eat in the inside but you are close to the pier and there are benches outside you can enjoy. Overall nice and we enjoyed. read more

Wanted a little snack before heading back to the room. We got ice cream and some brownie goodies. The ice cream flavors were okay. Nothing out extravagant but it was good. Prices were okay. Service was nice but there was a long line in the store just to grab 2 small cups of ice cream. The line loops around 2 stores. One to order and the second to pay. It's pretty stuffy and small inside. Great place to stop in for candy, snacks, or ice cream. read more

The red velvet ice cream was amazing and, although swamped, the staff worked quickly and were really nice.

We stopped in here after dinner for a small treat. We tasted the maple walnut and the cappuccino fudge. Both were delicious but we went with the maple walnut and were not disappointed! They have ice cream as well as loads of candy. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Cute place with lots to look at - there's something for just about everyone. read more

St. Simons Sweets - a hand holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - St Simons Island, Georgia

Fantastic sweets shop. They have many great treats like fudge, chocolate covered items, and ice cream. They also have pre-bagged candy and some trinkets in the back. This is a great institution that has been on St. Simons for a long time and hopefully for many more years to come. read more

You know when you pass by a sweets shop and cannot resist going in, even though you just ate a huge lunch at Southern Soul BBQ with dessert. Well, I could not resis. I came, I saw, I conquered. Then I saw the grab bags for $4 and conquered some more. Then when I checked out with my pecan bar, Ooey gooey bar, and mega buckets, I realized I earned a free small nice cream. So I walked back and got my free peach cobbler ice cream which is handmade and oh, so good. Never mind that it is January. And it hands are cold. And my family won't help me eat it because we ate a peach cobbler for dessert at lunch. Oh well. One must persevere and enjoy ice cold ice cream when one is given a free ice cream, which was delicious. You should come here and leave happy. read more

St. Simons Sweets - Peach cobbler ice cream, so good! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - St Simons Island, Georgia

St. Simons Sweets is a classic, old school candy & treat shop. I love taking my time, looking around at all of the goodies. Everything is displayed so nicely, making it easy to shop. The cute shop offers everything you can imagine - and more. The flavors of fudge are creative and unique. The dipped pretzels were delicious. The creaky hardwood floors, gorgeous display cases and kind staff make this a go to stop while in St. Simons. read more

Now I have a pretty crazy sweet tooth but even walking in this place I was nearly satisfied. The smell alone is heavenly, nice and sweet. The line was long but the woman working was very efficient. I ordered fudge, a praline, and a biscoff bar. Each item better than the last! I would drive from atlanta just to get more treats. Don't skip this spot!!! read more

Our family went in this establishment after dinner. There's ice cream and candy/ confections. The lady at the candy register was very , very rude. Our family spent over $200 (NOT A TYPO) $200!!!! She asked, "Are you from around here?" We said "No, we are from Columbia, SC and Orlando." She replied, "I hate tourists." No tip for that miserable employee. Seriously. You are in a tourist town. Get over it . Smile. Don't be so negative towards the people spending SO MUCH in your shop. Ridiculous. read more

Delicious ice cream (pecan pie)! The sweets looked great, need to make a visit just for them. A local person highly recommended the lemon bars! read more

Pecan pie, peach cobbler, blueberry.... They have it all, homemade ice cream, right there. Pecan pie was delish but would have loved more pecans.... Who doesn't?!? Peach cobbler was a group favorite and a must try when you stop by. read more

Love love love this place. I think the customer before me was being a bit of a jerk, so the sweet girl getting me my choices was on edge. My husband loves the white trash and the one that had peanut butter in it. There are so many choices at this store. There are always kids begging their parents for the novelties they see. Parents--buy this stuff!! They are only little for a small time!! read more

Nice neighborhood spot. Hubby got an ice cream cone and the very nice young lady working the ice cream counter gave me a free treat just for coming in It did feel like more of a candy store with ice cream as a extra choice once you were in the store. In fact, if the line looks long and you're there for the ice cream you can walk around all the candy customers to order your ice cream which is good to know. read more

What can I says, I love sweet confections... cup cakes, cookies and candies, I just enjoy them by the pound (to the detriment of my waist line). St Simon Sweets is one of those establishment where your literally a kid in the candy store. The staff are very friendly and accommodating they also make candies in house, even giving samples. St Simon Sweets is definitely a must visit while on St Simon Island. read more

Lots of flavors to choose from and while waiting in line you can consider all kinds of unique candy for sale! They literally have edible candy and eye candy! The ice cream was fresh and they offer lots of flavorful options. We go every time we visit St. Simons. read more

First of all. I live in Brunswick and we frequent the Village area often. I have 4 kids and I know better than to go into a sweet shop with crew in tow. I had family in town his week, and truth be told we all have a bit of a sweet tooth. So when they showed up with a bag of treats from the St. Simons Sweets, I was excited. I asked them how delicious they were and I was bombarded with how gross the stuff was. I thought they were kidding. I grabbed one of the 5 dipped Oreos and popped it in my mouth. At first it was good.... then it happened....... the after taste hit. It tasted like how the store smells mixed with a faint hint of death. It was so strong I began to gag and dry heave. What the Hell! How does a store with all those good reviews allow itself to put out a product on the shelf like that. Much less sell it to the public. I will never eat anything from this store ever again. I also caution anyone else not to eat anything. Everything that was purchased had the same after taste. What a waste of money and a horrible experience. read more

It was okay. Doesn't warrant the high prices, nor high star rating. But everything else nearby is inflated prices and inflated ratings too. read more

Reviews have to be at least 85 characters, so I'll say that the location is cool, near a bunch of restaurants and shops. I really came here to say though that unlike any other ice cream shop I've been to in years, these folks make Dole Whip. Bless them. read more

Always a great place to visit. It's a must do every time we visit SSI. From homemade ice cream to fudge, there's something for everyone.

This place is a happening daytime and nightlife place on hot summertime visits to the Georgia coast. They have tons of varieties of wrapped candies, store made candies and cookies, floats, ice creams, shakes, drinks, gag gifts, and much more to explore. Small town coastal happiness when driving around looking for a treat day of night. Just a one or two blocks away from the pier St. Simons Island. read more

Stopped in for ice cream and left feeling quite disappointed. With two small scoops costing over $10, I had high expectations. Ordered key lime pie ice cream which tasted like vanilla ice cream with soggy cake crumbs - needs more lime and more crunchy crust pieces! Also, I asked if I could get two flavors in my cup (the small cup size is quite large but I also expressed that I was happy to purchase a larger sized cup in order to accommodate this request) and was told that they were unable to do that. Unable or unwilling? I would have absolutely been willing to overlook this experience and the cost had the ice cream actually been good. Won't be returning. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Iguana's for dinner and we wanted something sweet afterwards. We saw this place across the street and decided to walk over. So many sweets to choose from but we settled for the red velvet and strawberry cookies. Both were really good, moist and the perfect amount of sweetness. If you're looking for something sweet, try this place out! read more

If Willy Wonka had a treats shop, St Simons Sweets would be the island-variety front. The wood-board shop is comprised of three areas. The candy counter ~ bins of bright gummies, huge licorice ropes, tables overflowing with old fashioned sugary temptation. The bakery ~ mini cupcakes, fudge, chocolate covered everything (I personally recommend the chocolate covered potato chips if you're feeling adventurous), and an ice cream bar that serves new, fanciful flavors each night from Superman to Nutella to Carrot Cake and more. And finally you have the sundae bar ~ upstairs and still a mystery to me as each night we were in (twice in six days) it was reserved for a birthday party or special event. A model train choo choos overhead as you sit at side tables to eat your ice cream. If you prefer outside seating plant yourself on the patio to watch the throngs of people headed to the pier. The only thing they lacked was the chocolate river and schnozzberries. But I'm sure Mr. Wonka will be installing those soon, so I'll be checking back in the next time I'm in the area. read more

St. Simons Sweets - How do you choose? - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - St Simons Island, Georgia

several times shopping here it is noticed that on any purchase you are automatically charged a 4% fee, not compensating for a credit card usage / swipe fee, no this is when paying with cash money ( U.S. currency ). and the 4% fee is pre tax, meaning you pay tax on the 4% charge. there is no signage anywhere in the business telling the customer of the 4% fee, and they do not verbally tell you of it. when questioning the employees they can not tell you what the 4% is being charged for, but can only tell you it is automatic, mandated and required, and can not be removed. they send you with what ever you are purchasing to the cashier at the exit of the store, where there is located a tip jar, to add insult to injury. in todays times for the owners of this business to treat their customers in this fashion is horrible, and in my opinion shows they don't care about you. I always return the item, canceling the transaction. I am in the process of notifying the proper state authority of this misguided fee they are charging their customers. read more

I walked into this place and I was literally like a kid in a candy store. Everything looked delicious, it was hard to limit myself to a few items. I started with some ice cream, Bourbon Pecan to be exact. It did not disappoint. I then moved to the front of the store to get some sweets to go. Coconut Praline and a Pecan Bar were the winners. This place is a bit expensive, but you should be aware of that before going in. Parking can also be a bit challenging during peak hours. This is the perfect place to satisfy your sweet tooth, there is something there for everyone. read more

St. Simons Sweets is a great little shop to satisfy that sweet tooth when you got a craving. This past weekend we wanted to grab a gift of homemade fudge to take home to the family, so we dropped into St Simons Sweets. Not only did we find the homemade fudge we were looking for, but we also picked up some sweets for ourself. One of the treats we got was the caramel covered marshmallows; they were the bomb with their chewy caramel goodness. read more

A must visit on St Simons! Amazing ice cream choices and lot of fun treats for the little ones. My nephews absolutely love the sweet shop

St. Simmons Sweets never disappoints. Don't be intimidated by the long lines, the team here does an outstanding job of facilitating service so you won't wait too long. Although they serve a wide variety of sweet indulgences, I always opt for ice cream. They have a huge assortment of flavors with something for everyone including your good ole standbys to more unique flavors like bourbon pecan. As mentioned above the service is excellent and always there to serve..literally. When in St. Simons Village, this is a must visit. read more

I'm a sugar fanatic and I love alliteration so St. Simons Sweets was high on the list of places to visit while we were on the island. The shop is nestled in the Village and they have an assortment of eye-catching sweets on their menu: Caramel apples Fudge Chocolate dipped Oreos, pretzels and marshmallows Specialty Rice Krispies Treats (on popsicle sticks, shaped into bundt cakes, etc.) Frosted sugar cookies Truffles Pralines Homemade ice cream, milkshakes & smoothies Bulk hard candies Items in the glass cases are adorably decorated and several are beach-themed. I brought a crab (a dipped Oreo with red licorice arms and candy eyes), a flamingo sugar cookie and a Rice Krispies treat that looked like a wedge of birthday cake. True to the name, all three were super sweet. I didn't think the cookie or Rice Krispies treat were as buttery as other versions I've tasted but they were fine. Also, the prices were a bit high but that was a common refrain in the tourist district. Ultimately, the variety they offer will justify multiple visits. When your sweet tooth aches, you should have no issue satisfying your craving at St. Simons Sweets. read more

The store was large with a good selection and in a nice area, but the prices were very high. We opted for ice cream. They hardly give you any - about the equivalent of one scoop for $5 sans cone. This is fine though, because you wouldn't want to eat much more. It's very bland and chalky, and was already melting when we got it. Disappointing. The staff was likewise disappointing. They weren't exactly friendly, though not outright rude. I don't think I'd go back. read more

This place looks and smells delicious. But they could REALLY use some labels because the staff does NOT like answering questions. I hate strawberry flavored anything so if the jar of pink gummy bears are unlabeled - how do I know what flavor they are? And how inconvenient is it that when I ask the young female cashier with the glasses, she said, "I don't know - either watermelon or strawberry." In fact - the response "I don't know" was pretty much what I got each time I 'bothered' her with a question. I was also stoked thinking they had candied apples - they actually only have caramel apples with various toppings. (I'm sure I'm wrong but I thought candied applies were the apples with the hard, red crunchy coating). I had my first Mexican Coke here - the ones made with cane sugar and sold in tall glass bottles and it was good. My caramel apple with chocolate and peanuts is still in the fridge - it's pretty good but the apple was a little mushy so . . . I didn't wolf it down like I would have under normal circumstances. My chocolate peanut cluster was awful. It's actually still in the fridge. I took one nibble and all I could taste was scorched chocolate. Under normal circumstances, I would say give this place a try - because they have SO many items to choose from - but lackluster customer service COMBINED with subpar offerings - Yikes! For me that equals 2 stars. read more

Stopped by for a quick sweet treat. There were many options fudge, baked treats, ice cream, candy. We selected the ooey gooey bar and a praline. They were both tasty. It's a neat concept overall and we would have given 5 stars but some of the treats are pricey. read more

Oh my... really delicious house-made ice cream and pralines here!! Lots of other sweets, too. Yummy!

Talk about "finding your Sweet Spot!!" This is one of our favorite stops whenever we are in St. Simon's! It is always a treat when we stop in to this fun shop. Colorful candies and delicious smelling treats immediately greet you whenever you walk in the door! We first started coming here when our kiddos were little and it was kind of like walking into Willy Wonka's factory! Over the years, it seems to me that these folks are always ready to try something new, whether it is a chocolate-covered Rice Krispie treat or a new novelty candy. Whatever you're looking for, you are sure to find it here! We always seem to find something we haven't tried before, which keeps us coming back year after year for old favorites and to see what is new! read more
