Newport Candy Shoppe

Beautiful candy shop! I was amazed at the selection of so many chocolates and candy! Their new location, still right there on the Bayfront, is amazing! It is well stocked and so well arranged, as well as bright and cheery. I wanted one piece of everything! The chocolates are made right there in South Beach, and you can’t beat the selection and flavor anywhere! I used to be a big fan of a well known chocolate store, now I am definitely a loyal fan of Newport candy shop hands down. Even the taffy is made right there at the shop and it is the best in my opinion. Please make sure to visit this shop when you are in Newport, the staff are also very friendly and helpful!

Newport Candy Shoppe was a super cute candy shop with tons of different candies. They also had popcorn and caramel corn in different flavors. They were super nice and friendly.

Service was exceptional. The gal working was very friendly & helpful when asking about all the chocolates. We only purchased chocolates & so far everything is delicious. The downside is the price. It does seem quite steep. The second thing is overfilling the salt water taffy candy that you see some on the floor (that and am sure people moving candy around).

We were dying for soft serve ice cream and after another shop’s machine was down, stumbled into here. Was so glad we did. Fairly priced and big portions of chocolate soft serve. Was $11.50 for a few cones and a packaged candy for my daughter. We didn’t get their candy, but it looked great and they had a huge selection of house-made treats. Only knocking off a star because you had to have cash. While they did have an ATM, it’s a little rough to tack on ATM fees just for ice cream. Crazy to see there are places that still don’t take credit cards.

Yum yum yum. Everybody loves saltwater Taffy. Lol Newport candy shop was priced well per pound also they accept cash and cards and tap

We always stop at this shop but were really disappointed this trip 8/19/25. The Carmel corn was not as crunchy almost stale and the taffy was terrible! It stuck to the paper so bad and was way too soft. I don’t know that we will be back! Maybe time to try another store??

I have always loved this shop! Still do, but hoping maybe they will read this and start making taffy the way they used to. Soft and chewy with the perfect burst of flavor. This batch we got was hard as a rock! Like bust a tooth hard. So disappointed 😔 Please, please fix your taffy. They have an amazing selection of candy.

Not sure what’s happened to this place. Usually come here every summer to get taffy for gifts, same story this year. Friendly people, good quality. Person working this year seemed to be bothered that we were there, and annoyed that she had to look up from her phone. She dropped my change to me before I was ready and it just went everywhere. Didn’t give me my things, just left it all on the scale and started typing again. And they don’t take card…turning out to be more of an inconvenience. Hope it turns around.
