    Melted soft serve
    Mirei K.

    Just your typical candy shop you'll probably see at a beach area. I do like the aesthetic of the shop and I also purchased a t shirt from them! I ordered the soft serve dipped in chocolate but I do wish the worker waited until the chocolate hardened before handing it to me since everything started melting right when I stepped outside.

    A must-do at Coney Island! Our friends all got different goodies (malt balls, marshmallow sticks, cotton candy, wax bottles, salt water taffy) and shared together outside. So fun and nostalgic!

    Williams Candy Shop is an old school candy shop (open since 1941) with candy apples, caramel apples, marshmallow sticks, cotton candy, popcorn, candy, and soft/hard ice cream. The store is right next to the Nathan's Hot dog and closest to the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station. This is my first time visiting and I only got their rainbow lollipop. I will definitely come back to try their other treats.

    Nostalgic candy shop in Coney Island. It's such a cute candy store that I had to go inside. They have ice-cream, milkshakes, fugde, caramel apples, cotton candy, and a bunch of old school candies. Brought back so many childhood memories of coming to Coney Island. The display of marshmallow treats was calling my name. I just had to try one. I got the toasted almond. It wasn't as good as I had a imagined but it was still a nice treat. Awesome shop for the kiddos and adults.

    I have not gone to Coney Island in years, not since 2019 B.C. (Before COVID-19) and had to stop here since I used to come here every summer. It's an old school candy shop with candy apples, caramel apples, marshmallow sticks, cotton candy, popcorn, candy, and soft/hard ice cream. My favorite summertime treat is their soft serve ice cream. They usually have vanilla, chocolate, banana, and pistachio soft serve ice cream. I usually go for banana or pistachio since most ice cream places don't carry those flavors. I ordered a pistachio soft serve ice cream cone which is still a good portion. It was creamy and not too sweet. The pistachio flavor is on the light side though. Service is always friendly and fast. I'll definitely be back next summer!

    Yes please. I love it here. The pink popcorn, marshmallow on a stick, candy apples, and cotton candy. This place is amazing and opened all year round. It's so good and I am hooked. There is a lot of candy there but check out what I suggested. They are great for day to day or parties. The candy is amazing.

    I've been coming to this beautiful place for years and years and years. I always get their marshmallows with chocolate sprinkles and their toasted coconut. And I'm in love with their chocolate fudge.

    You're greeted as you walk in with a smile. I felt like a big kid in the candy store literally lol. Everything looked amazing. Seeing candy from back in the days took me back to my childhood. Very organized, easy to identify the various candies. The candy apple was delicious

    Located right next to Nathan's famous! They are known for their candy apples but we got their soft serve which was perfect for a mid afternoon cool down treat! It was a generous amount for $6, so it was worth it. Could have been creamier but overall decent.

    Growing up in Coney Island this was always my go to candy store. I no longer live in Coney but not too far of a drive away. I sometimes get off the belt parkway strictly to visit this shop for the best jelly apples ever, the best marshmallows on a stick covered with sprinkles or M&Ms or nuts, and my total favorite chocolate covered Swedish fish which you can't get everywhere. Best custard -pistachio and banana swirl. Every time im there I take pictures of the window because it is just so colorful and delectable. This place is a must for locals and tourists. Right next door to Nathan's

    A feeling of nostalgia filled me when I entered my childhood candy shop. My Dad used to take my sisters and I here to purchase cotton candy and candy apples. This business has been in operation since 1941 and I'm glad they are still here. I was able to bring my sons and granddaughter to experience this wonderful candy shop. Prices are still affordable. They offer catering services as well.

    This place brings back good memories of when me and my grandpa drive around Coney Island. Just stopping next to all the candy stores and just getting food. We probably didn't need to eat but craved. My grandpa, especially likes the cotton candy which is shown in one of the pictures where we both got two big giant bags of it. I haven't gone there very recently, but it definitely holes in the stalls place in my heart and it's in Coney Island, a great place to be.

    Every time I come to Coney Island, we have to visit Willam's candy shop. The only disappointment is the candy apple isn't as crisp as before and the candy part is super thick. My wife can literally make it herself, whoever made the candy apple need more practice. The other items such as marshmallows are still a hit with me.

    My new favorite candy store in Brooklyn. I spent a recent afternoon in Bushwick and I happily…read morestumbled into Eugene J. Candy Co. It's more than an amazing store with an incredible selection of candy, It's charming, friendly and has a magical quality. Eugene is so friendly, ready to help with a smile and made me feel welcome. It was so hard to choose, I wanted everything. Eugene's has his very own candy creations (now my mouth is watering). "Freaks" are Eugene's version of Nerd's but so much better! He makes them in several flavors, and they are amazing! Who knew I would like chocolate covered cornflakes? I am a chocolate lover but I would never have thought of this combo. They are melt in your mouth while, being crispy at the same time. There is a large selection of gummies in so many varieties and flavors. I felt like I went back in time with many childhood candies that I haven't seen in years. I didn't know that candy waxed lips, fangs and mustaches still existed. I totally had to buy my dad Mary Jane's, such a classic candy. I most definitely will be back. Thank you Eugene!

    The Freaks (Eugene's homemade version of Nerds) are a must try. The citrus flavors (grapefruit,…read moreorange, lemon, and lime) are flavored with essential oils and the grapefruit ones taste like a super packed version of my favorite grapefruit gummies. They're bigger and crunchier than the original Nerds, honestly better in every way. After my first trip, I was back within the week for more. For chocolate lovers, there are a plethora of chocolate covered candies and cereals. My go to are the matcha white chocolate covered Frosted Flakes.

    I've been here twice. The first time I bought chocolate covered strawberries, which are a made to…read moreorder item. She charged two dollars for each regular sized strawberry and three dollars for each large strawberrry (these are VERY large -- the type Shaquile O'Neil eats). This price is very reasonable compared to other candy shops. The lady in the store wrapped them up very nicely, and told me how to store them so they'd be nice for the wife. On my second visit to the store, my sister and I went shopping for Purim food baskets, or "mishloach manos." Again, the ladys eho worked there were very cordial. We end up buying three baskets, one dried fruit ($26) and two food baskets ($18.99). See my pictures for how they looked. The baskets were nicely wrapped and I couldn't of been happier. In and out quickly. Parking situation is terrible, especially right before holidays (and on Friday). Look for parking on McDonald Avenue if you're desperate.

    If you're not hasidic or orthodox, dont bother going in here. I'm reform and I dress oddly enough…read moreto piss off anyone conservative and I clearly was not welcomed in that store. I was there at the store back in spring and I asked about one of the candy boxes because I never learned hebrew and had no idea from the picture because it looked like actual gemstones. This old hag behind the counter either ignored me or gave me a snippy attitude. When I asked her what it was she went "I dont know. I dont try every candy here." Well you should at least know what you sell, you shmuck. I had to argue with her just to get her to ring me up because she was "busy" hiding herself behind a rack of candy and she had to stop the world to ring me up. There were no other customers really in there. I walked by there yesterday and saw people in there but I didn't even bother. She can kiss my kosher ass. I only wish I did learn hebrew or yiddish as a kid so I coulda chewed her out for being a horrible employee. If you do decide to go into Boropark...dont drive here unless you want to park a week in advance. Either take the B16, the B67, the F to church ave or the D to 50th/55th..which is probably the closest.
