I don't know when this place opened on the Island. I was always a fan of another candy company down the street. We stopped here because my 21-month-old grandson has a recently emerging fascination with Mario. When his parents drove by on the way to meet us for dinner, he started shouting "Mario" over and over. So, after dinner, we all stopped in. It is a very nice candy store. There are lots of fun things to look at like statues of the Hulk and other comic book characters. The color scheme is bright and appealing. The bins of candy throughout the store had me really excited. The concept is the same as the other candy store. You fill a bag with chocolate for a set per pound price, or you fill a bag with non-chocolate candy for a different set per pound price. The difference between the stores is that this one is about twice as expensive, and they don't seem to make any of the chocolate candies in house. None of us grabbed a bag. The price seemed too high, even if you got to put a great candy mix in your bag. I recommend this place for the atmosphere. If you can control yourself and not fill up multiple bags, the price may not be a problem. read more

Great selection of candy, but the prices are a little high. I also wish there was a scale available so customers could weigh their candy before checking out. The lady at the ice cream counter was very friendly, but our checkout experience was disappointing. Jonathan Cohen was not friendly, never greeted us, stayed on his phone while checking us out, and slammed my receipt into my hand when I asked for it. My sister also had a poor experience with him. After she paid, he walked away to the back. When we asked another employee for paper towels, she rolled her eyes before helping us. The candy selection was great, but the customer service needs improvement. read more

We were in Port A for a week and saw this newish candy shop had opened. It was really fun to walk around and look at all the candy. It was pricey though. I got some fruit slices and this box of 1 chocolate chicken like strip. It was $29! Good to splurge but way over priced. read more

Tons of options here. Found some oldies and some Japanese candies which are my favorite. Big bonus for having Blue Bell ice cream available too! Store was clean and not too busy, parking was kinda a hot mess but that's ok. Service was fine, only one gentleman working so, took a few extra minutes as he was scooping ice cream when I wanted to check out. If you've got a sweet tooth, stop on in, I'm sure you'll find something to get your fix. read more

The candy vestibules are not properly labeled with pricing. My parents purchased candy off of one labeled vestibule with the price being $10 per 1/2 lb. Upon checkout, the price was $14.99 per 1/2 lb. When asked why we were informed that chocolate was $14.99 per 1/2 lb. This was nowhere on the station we utilized. When speaking to the manager, we were met with very brash comments about how we should "know the difference between chocolate and candy" and that we should have "looked harder". The customer service was extremely rude and we did not appreciate being spoken down to in such a way. I tried to locate a phone number to call about this situation, but there isn't one of those listed either. Highly disappointed, will not recommend, and will not return. The ONLY candy my parents got was Reese's pieces as seen in this photograph. What price do you see? read more

My kids came here last year on our vacation and begged to go back. We knew it was expensive but they love the experience of picking out the candy, and it's vacation, so we didn't have a problem coming back. We visited on 7/20/26 and the staff was not very engaged but fine whatever. I'm sure they are paid hourly and it was a Monday. The unfortunate part is the staff was playing heavy metal music while all these kids were in the shop. It was totally inappropriate and very disjointed to the fun candy shopping experience. We hurried the kids through the store and spent way less than we probably would have spent because I was so overstimulated by the music, I just wanted to get out of there. read more

The location is nicely decorated and looked clean, service was OK for checkout. I was expecting to pay a premium due to location for families on vacation at the beach. The downside is the poor quality of candy and especially the chocolate. They charge an added premium for the chocolate candy even though it was cheap and tasted old/stale. Some of the regular candy, gummies and sours balls were old and hardened. Save your money and spend it elsewhere like Winton's or Bourbon Street in Corpus. read more

Cute shop but really overpriced. Chocolate candy is stale. I guess if you are in vacation with unlimited funds it's an option. Won't go back. read more

Super cute and giant candy shop! they have a great selection of candies/sweets. It's even attached to a massive gift shop next door! Only docked a point because we got a hello kitty surprise ball $10, that had candy and a "toy" but the "toy" wasn't even hello kitty related. read more

My kids and I had a blast at the Sugar Shack! It's not just a candy shop, there is a full-service Blue Bell ice cream parlor. If you have been to any ice cream parlor in Texas in the summer, the service will be a little bit slow, and it was the day that we went. We probably waited 15 minutes just to have our order taken, and then another 5-6 minutes to check out. They have only been open a month, and had wonderful attitudes and were excited for everybody in line. My kids found some really unique toys and candy. They've curated unique sweets, created a fun atmosphere, and so the "up charge" is there, but this place deserves it. They're brand new, locally owned, and I was happy to give them my business. I do wish that they had a social media account or website though! read more

$16.39 for two handful of tiny (5 bigger size) jawbreakers! I couldn't even change my mind. there's no weight there to do it independently. How was I supposed to know it's more than 1/2 lbs?! Such a rip off- wouldn't go there. read more

Sugar Shack - $16.39 for two handful of tiny (5 small but bigger size) jawbreakers! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

Cute, fun and colorful. $10.00 for 1/2 lbs of candy. Chocolate cost around $14 for 1/2 lbs. and they can't be mixed. A convenient scale for everyone to weigh their candy bags somewhere in the store so I have an idea before I get surprised at the cash register. Missing one star because there wasn't enough scoops and the candy containers were sticky and low on candy. read more

SO EXPENSIVE. HALF OF A BAG WAS $32. No one helped us the entire time untill checkout. fun vibe but not worth it for the price.

Scam. Prices are changed at register and if you don't catch it before you swipe your card there's no refund. Candy was melted in some bins, but most bins were ok. It was clean and we liked the huge Batman. The colors were what drew us in, but the prices have permanently driven us away. We'll stick to Wintons from now on. read more
