Sweet Julep's is the place to buy special candy without driving to Downtown Charleston. Or, buy something sweet to top off your meal at Mount Pleasant Towne Center's restaurants. If you need a specific color of M&Ms for an event such as a wedding shower or party, this is also the place to come. At the counter, you can buy chocolate covered everything- pralines, Oreo cookies, rice krispy treats, truffles, the list goes on and on. They sell weigh-and-pay candy and offer every candy imaginable, including classic favorites and sugar free candy. The candy is expensive- five pieces of pre-movie candy cost over $3. If you want packaged candy to snack on, you're better off at the grocery store or gas station. They carry seasonal candy, so chocolate bunnies are popular right now. Be sure to eat your chocolate bunny head first, so he doesn't watch his body get devoured. read more

We came to the store and absolutely loved it. The candy was cheap and good! The Lego candy was the best because it's a hard candy and a sweet. The lady who helped us weigh our candy was awesome! read more

Such a cute candy shop! A great selection and super polite safe. Fun place to stop in before or after doing a little shopping.

I am so thankful that I live 2 hours from this place or I would be gigantic and diabetic. I purchased the regular and chocolate pralines. They were literally the best I have ever had. This place has a huge selection of chocolates. My perfect heaven would be dying and waking up in Sweet Julep's. I will be coming back. read more

Sweet Julep's - The most delicious chocolate praline in the world. - Candy Stores Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

If you're planning on buying candy at the movie theater, stop here instead. It's literally right outside the theater, which I bet is hurting Palmetto Grande's bottom line. The real kicker would be if the the same company owned both businesses and everyone though they were screwing over the theater when in actuality, they were cleaning up all along. That would be some corporate next level shit huh? Anyway, they've got a great selection including everything sour, salty, and sweet to choose from. Most of the candy is done by weight and although you can go overboard, I feel like the price is pretty reasonable for getting a variety. They also have fancy chocolates in a case up front if you fancy and all. If they know what's good for them, they'll start selling bottled water too! read more

Sweet Julep's - the entrance to a store - Candy Stores Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

We got to the register only to find out that a candy that cost us $2.99 at Walgreens immediately after we left was going to cost $7.03 here. That markup is just crazy to me! I usually would pay a little extra to support a local business but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much more, even with a disappointed 5 year old in tow. The candy they made in house seemed to be less overpriced but just be warned! read more

Very helpful staff. I could smell the sweets when I walked in the door. Smells of chocolate and fudge!

Sweet Julep's is a really great place to get all the sweets and candy you could ever possibly want. I like coming in here just for the smells sometimes, but always seem to walk away with more than that. I really like the layout of the store and the staff is super friendly and allows you to try samples of everything. They have some candies I forgot even existed. Sweet Julep's is an awesome place. read more

I really miss when, back in the day, there was a cool candy store at Lenox. Alas, that was way back in the day. So, I was very happy to discover a similar but even better spot in Sweet Julep's, one of the key stores at Towne Centre. Yum, yummy, yum. When I finally tore myself out of B&N today, and hadn't had lunch - what did I do? I got candy, of course. Very NPWH and .... drumroll please.... they have my most favoritest of gummy bears et al EVER - Haribo! Those little cuties from Switzerland that just knock everyone else out of the ring. Pay by the pound ($2.75/lb) and a large selection of candy (from gummies to jelly beans to all kinds of chocolates to . . . ) and also some truffle and cupcake type choices . . . Somehow, I managed to corral myself and only spend $2.03 (that includes tax!!) so I don't feel bad about my little indulgence. If you ever find yourself in this snazzy little shopping center and are, say, tired of The Gap and Chico's and all that jazz . . .go see the folks at Sweet Julep's. My $0.02, just sayin' . . . (Oh!! And if you are going to a movie at the theater that is literally right next door and want candy while there- stop here and get it - way better yummies and such better prices!!) read more

I live in California and my mom sent me this fudge from Sweet Julep's. It is so smooth and delicious and even made it through a week long shipping. I definitely recommend!! 10/10 read more

Wanted to thank Sweet Julep's! As we are all in quarantine, me in IL my mom in Texas and a visit cancelled I wanted to send her something to let her know I was thinking of her. Hello best chocolate ever! Having stopped in Sweet Julep's last year I knew they were the amazing, so thankful they now have online ordering! Yes! Easy to find exactly what I wanted and pick my shipping. Mom loved, I'm still favorite child and know where to shop for her Mother's Day gift! Thanks again! read more

I went to Sweet Juleps with my brother tonight for a few treats. Keep in mind that we are in our late 50's. I am an IT professional and he is an HR director. We were dressed casual but nice as we just came from a dinner engagement. We spent time gathering our bags full of candy and walked up to the register to pay. The young lady behind the counter snarled at us and said, "you can keep what you put in your pocket!" We had no idea what she was talking about so we asked what she meant. She said, "you put something in your left pocket." my brother and I just stared at each other in shock. We had no idea what she was talking about. We emptied pockets and pulled them inside out to show we didn't take anything. She didn't apologize or say anything. We left the candy and walked out. I pride myself on being an honest and ethical person and I am so offended by the accusation that I will never go back. We deserved an apology after such a false accusation. read more

The owner called and apologized. They also had a conversation with their employee. I wasn't mad just disappointed that someone would think I would steal. Thank you to the owner. read more

I'm not sure which was sweeter, the candy or the service! We got pralines and fudge, both are fantastic. The service was incredible, a warm friendly greeting and encounter. We loved our experience here. read more

Amazing and beautiful candy store with such sweet employees. It is right next to the movie theatre and a great place to stop in and get some candy from! The decorations are gorgeous and the sweets are delicious. The employee by the name of Colton, offered me praline samples and once I had a taste, I needed more! 5 star, highly recommend. It is also a great family owned small business read more

Candy was good, service was weird! The girls behind the counter kept having to run back and ask their manager on basic questions, making the process quite long. When I asked the manager to try some white chocolate before purchasing, she said, "well I don't want to hand out a quarter pound...." Geez, sorry for inconveniencing you. I didn't ask for a quarter pound. I'm not here to jip you. The chocolate was good, and had the manager been less rude then I would have purchased more. But that attitude quite frankly turned me off. read more

Who doesn't love a candy shop? The owner and employees are fantastic. My bf loves the pralines (as do I), and we stop here from time to time whenever we're at Town Center. Recently, I bought a box of pralines and other chocolates for my co-workers. When I told the owner who I was buying them for a why (just because), she took it upon herself to wrap the box up with such a nice bow and to throw in the crinkly papers to lay the pralines themselves on. It was great! They have a variety of candies and it's conveniently located near the movie theatre. read more

This store is a great candy shop!!! Perfectly located beside the theater....so do yourself a favor and make your own bag of delicious candy before going to the movies and spending $7 on m&ms. I got an amazing mix of candy for less than $3. Also they give samples so be sure to stop in. Friendly employees! :) read more

We stopped in here to get a bit of a sugar rush after lunch. It was a pretty large store, nicely decorated for Christmas. I think we picked up three truffles for 2 dollars and some change, not bad considering a lot of places in DC charge 2 dollars for one truffle. I think the employees at Market Street Sweets are a little bit nicer and seem to enjoy their job more but this place is pretty handy being in town center. read more

Mmmm, candy. This is the ideal location for a candy store; I don't see how the movie theater next door can compete. They have a lot of variety too, salt water taffy, a wall of gummy-cherries/worms/octopuses/strawberries, jelly beans, and all kinds of chocolates. I'd caution you on the gummy things though, they were definitely sub-par. read more

My daughter was getting married in Charleston and wanted a sweet treat for her guest this place was perfect for the salt water taffy we were searching for. Great selection and price thank you. read more

This is in the perfect location, right next to the movie theater. They have bins and bins and bins of candy - tons of sour things, chocolate covered pretzels/peanuts/etc, gummy worms and bears and so on. They also have a ton of fudge and chocolate behind the counter and many old fashioned candies that are hard to find at other stores. read more

This place is insane. Candy, candy and more candy. I prefer the numerous kinds of fudge and chocolates but they also have hard candies, gummy worms and every candy in between. The place is located right by the movie theater in Towne Centre so it's very convenient and the treats delectable. Just don't be a fat ass and frequent this joint too regularly. read more

Sweet Juleps excels in customer satisfaction. The owner and staff of this beautifully decorated store go above and beyond in customer satisfaction. I was taking a road trip up to Yankeeville and the gift box's of assorted pralines, pecans and cookies were above expectations. SWEET JULEP'S ...You ROCK!!!! read more

I think the store is phenomenal, the service was good and the chocolate was fantastic. Their prices are much cheaper than downtown Charleston's candy store on Market Street! They even had a lot of the candy that was in the candy stores in the 60's and 70's that I didn't think they even made anymore! read more

Tourist out in Mount Pleasant for a wedding and came across this candy store. Very good service, excellent selection and fair prices, which is a rare find. I will be back for more! read more
