Savannah's Candy Kitchen

This store was nostalgic for me. Tons of childhood candies and everything childhood related, I.e metal lunch boxes. Sweetness all around. The hubs for the Caramel Taffy Apple and Peanut Brittle. He said the Taffy Apple was good and he’s not had his brittle yet. Service was prompt. Store was busy. Staff was lovely. Family owned, which was good to know!

Their pralines are to die for!! I purchased a pound and a half and ate them all myself. The men handing out the praline samples were also the sweetest. They have my 9 year old multiple handfuls because they were just that good. Next time you’re in Savannah I highly recommend making a visit here!

This place is a sweet tooth’s dream come true. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, nostalgic vibe and the smell of fresh caramel and chocolate in the air. They offer an amazing variety of handmade treats—from perfectly chewy pralines and chocolate-dipped strawberries to colorful candy apples and gourmet popcorn. The staff was super friendly and even offered samples so I could find my favorites. You can tell everything is made with love and care. The presentation of each treat is Instagram-worthy, and everything I tried tasted just as good as it looked. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Dayana Candy Kitchen is a must-stop. I’ll definitely be back to stock up and try more. Highly recommend!

OMG!!! When you walk into this store you immediately get the smell of goodness!! You don’t know where to look first. There is candy, popcorn, fudge and the list the goes on and on! It’s like you don’t want to leave. We looked at everything but we got Peanut Brittle, Cinnamon Roasted Peanut's and a soda in an old fashioned bottle! We would have gotten some chocolate to take for later, but it was super hot out so we did not want it to melt. Do not miss this store on your trip!🍭🍬

5 stars for 5 reasons 1. Caramel popcorn was fresh Almonds were fresh and just how I like them 2. If you have sweet tooth this is the place for you. Literally, has all chocolate and candy you could possibly want. 3. Price is fairly normal for places like this and tourisy areas. 4. The store is clean and very organize. 5. Nice customer service and helpful staff.

A Must-Visit Sweet Spot in Savannah! So good that we went twice in one weekend! Savannah’s Candy Kitchen is incredible. We stumbled in after lunch at the amazing spot next door (seriously, best lunch in town), and the smell of fresh pralines and the warm, welcoming atmosphere drew us right in. The free samples were just the beginning—we tried the pralines and were instantly hooked. We ended up getting ice cream and pralines both days we were in Savannah, and everything was top-notch. It was almost impossible to choose what to buy because everything looked incredible—from the handmade candies to the nostalgic treats lining the shelves. This place is a perfect mix of Southern charm and sweet indulgence. If you’re anywhere near River Street, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just be warned: one visit won’t be enough!

My wife, daughter and I stopped by on Saturday, May 24 (Labor Day weekend) in mid-afternoon for some candy. We bought an assortment of salt water taffy. When we got home, and later in the week when we were trying it, nearly every piece was stuck to its wrapper, so badly that half the candy was thrown away. This was not our first trip here, but we were disappointed enough that it puts us off ever coming back. I feel like we wasted $35. I know it's made fresh, but really there's got to be a way to avoid this! Ridiculous!

Great Candy Shop! Lots of choices and good stuff! The Gophers are freshly made and you can taste it! Caramel apples are super good as well! Tons of niche sodas to choice from too. They have what you need to handle any sweet tooth cravings!

Savannah's Candy Kitchen located in Savannah, GA Food: Chocolate, Popcorn (all flavors) mix and match flavors. Different kinds of confections to many to mention however something for everyone Service: The people working there are so kind and polite. Don't forget to try samples... of everything! Ambiance: Willy Wanker and the Chocolate Factory vibe.

This was such a wonderful place: candies, chocolates, popcorn and ice cream! We walked by when we were walking down River Street. Got attracted by the smell and look of it. Went in and service was amazing: quick, accurate and friendly. Coffee Smoothie was delicious. And I loved the peach and pistachio ice cream. Very unique. Will come again when visiting Savannah.

It's been over twenty years since my last visit to S C K, it was a much smaller store, it's about triple the size loaded with more goodies than you can possibly imagine without visiting it, (which you really should), the only reason that I had any willpower was that I drove here for one thing, and one thing only, the pralines (ok, I also bought a bag of praline coated pecans). I had a very nice talk with Eric, their master praline maker, I even offered to take over for him if he wanted to take a coffee break but he said it was against the rules...I drove 162 miles from Columbia on my way down to Florida to stop in for their magic pralines, you should go, you'll thank me for it...

Pralines and Milk Chocolate Turtles are amazing. I haven't been to the shop for several years but my daughter brought them home from a recent trip. Still highly recommended stop on River Street!

Amazing pecan praline-- balance of salty, sweet, and rich. Enjoyed walking through the store as well to see the variety of freshly made candies and the older machinery on display. The sweets are a bit pricey, but worth trying as a tourist in Savannah! Enjoy while they're still warm for the best experience.

My son and I stopped I here while we were waiting for our tour to start. The store was welcoming and so many options it was mind blowing. We kept walking and found even more! The store was so fun and inviting. My son ordered an ice cream cone and he said it was some of the best est ice cream he has ever had.

I love coming here when I am in town! So many amazing options you can find something anyone will enjoy. My favorite is the banana pudding ice cream, the best I've had!

So my stepmom was in the mood for some popcorn so she popped in and grabbed a fresh bag. This place is a delight and has a treat for everyone. I don't grab anything, but my eyes were enamored with the many options.

This place is a kid's dream (both young and old lol)! From the various chocolate treats to the popcorn and different nostalgic throwbacks, it has something for everyone. The workers are diligent at providing the best customer service despite the constant food traffic. They do the best they can at making the experience pleasurable. The smell will definitely drive you in off the street and your stomach will keep you looking around. The only drawback is that it is a little pricey, but I guess you have to pay a little more to take a trip down memory lane Lol!

If i could give 4.5 i would. This place is great and has a ton of candy varieties. The really good stuff is the homemade sweets. Fudge, chocolate covered items (pretzels etc), popcorn varieties, barks, giant pb cups and dipped rice crispy treats. So much to choose from. The only knock against them is the price. Chocolate covered pretzels for instance are about $27/lb. If you find the bag of broken bits its the same thing but only $11. Most of the options are really pricy so be prepared.

Every time we are anywhere near River Street my kids all beg to go to Savannah's Candy Kitchen. It's a family favorite. The kids love all the candy and I usually go for some ice cream or baked goods. It's all delicious! I also love that they decorate for all the holidays. It's a great spot to stop and take a quick cute pic of the kids (and maybe bribe them with some candy )

By far my favorite thing in Savannah!!! This place was SO good! I felt the prices were great for being such a nostalgic store! They make the taffy right there and a machine fills it as seen in my video. This was the coolest thing EVER. The guy making the taffy kept throwing us some to try. Oh man obviously that was the freshest taffy we've ever had. I was smiling ear to ear the whole time. Took home some goodies for the drive home! The store was so cute and nostalgic. Made me feel like a kid in a candy store all over again! Please stop here!!

5-12-24 Mother's Day What better way to celebrate Mother's Day but in Savannah one of my most favorite cities in the World. When you think sweets I only think of this place when in Savannah. So hubby and I were on the Old Town Trolley tour so definitely had to get off at the Riverwalk and go directly here. I know what I want so get straight on line to buy six milk chocolate gophers. Milk chocolate because hubby prefers them. Than guess what the guy behind the counter says to me? You know you bought a pound so you get a half pound free! Well he made my day and truly earned his five star review. I forgot all about the coupon for this and this nice young sales associate reminded me. Wow talk about customer service plus. I was so happy let's add a Carmel Apple with pecans as well. Since visiting I polished off that apple myself in one sitting. It was truly perfect the Carmel is exceptional. Now that I live close by I definitely will be back more often. I think next will check out their cakes for the next special occasion. This place is delicious and smells heavenly like freshly made candy.

Continues to be my favorite stop in Savannah. Went this weekend and got a fresh hot praline sample that melted in my mouth. We also tried popcorn samples. The baked potato was tasty! They have lots of fun candies for the kids. Our 7 year old was in heaven. Can't go to Savannah without stopping here for the pralines!

Pros: The popcorn is good but very salty. The gelato is good and very creamy. The store has a lot of different and fun candy items. Con: The taffy - although it tastes good, it sticks to the wrapper, making it virtually not edible. Every single piece was soft and sticky - $12 down the drain. It was not even a warm day. I was so excited to get fresh taffy as usually it is hard and has sat around a while. The dark chocolate turtle - so disgusting. The chocolate was probably the worst chocolate I have had, and the caramel was still runny and beyond sweet. The dark chocolate pb cup was also ruined by the chocolate, and the pb had a strange taste. The chocolates look very pretty, but honestly, ask for a sample first. The store is clean and set up as a total tourist trap, but the staff were very friendly. I wish we would of sampled the stuff as I would of never purchased it - also, we were halfway back to California before trying it all.

We stopped here for gelato after exploring River Street. It had been some 40 years since I last saw the factors on River Street, and quite a lot has changed. Savannah's Candy Kitchen is a small shop at street level that features all kinds of sweet treats. There's a combined gelato/ice cream counter on the left as you enter. Here we found at least a score of choices. My wife had a cup of an excellent Chocolate (5/5), I had Praline Cream (4/5). Overall, the texture and flavors were very good. Our server was very nice and helpful. Credit cards accepted. Strictly take-away, intended to eat while strolling or find a seat across the street at the river front.

If you are a chocolate/candy/fudge fan, you must stop by Savannah's Candy Kitchen! I've been to this location a couple times and everything I've tried has always been fantastic. Some of my favorites include: --Gophers - both milk chocolate and dark chocolate were great but especially enjoyed the dark. The caramel was smooth and delicious. Pecans were fresh. Their chocolate was top notch! --Peanut Butter Fudge - hands down the best fudge I've ever had! I'm normally not a huge fan of fudge, but this one was unbelievably delicious. Rich and smooth with perfect texture and flavor. --Cookies & Cream Bark - hubby loves white chocolate so this was right up his alley. Absolutely no shortage of Oreo pieces! Very good bark. I highly recommend trying some of their tasty treats!

I have a sweet tooth and this place is both a blessing and a curse! With fresh pralines being made (free samples too!) while you watch, literal barrels full of candy, and dozens of fresh treats behind the glass just begging to be brought home, this place is amazing. They had a line every time we went in but service is efficient enough to get you in and out quick! The walls have shelves full of prepackaged goods and wonderful displays of old candies from your childhood that everyone walking around saying "do you remember?"

I would definitely recommend this spot! You can get popcorn, candy, and ice cream! It smells WONDERFUL even from outside! I stood by the window of the candy side and it was amazing! My wife and one son got ice cream. Our other son and I got popcorn! We were all served quickly, which was good. I got a Regular size bag of the Cheddar Pretzel flavored popcorn. I'm not a real big fan of pretzel by themselves but this flavor was delicious! I'd get it again. I think one regular size bag was $4.

Very cute candy shop right by the river. One of my friends insisted we stop by so she could get some pralines before she left town. Once we were here, of course I had to get something, too. :) This is a spacious shop filled with more goodies than I could possibly list! You can smell it (in a good way, lol) from down the street and the displays are absolutely beautiful and very inviting. Highlights include candy apples, pralines, and beautiful chocolates. They were very busy on an early Sunday afternoon, so traffic throughout the shop was a little hard to navigate. Thankfully, there were multiple places to check out, so we weren't waiting around too long. Service wasn't effusively friendly but they were definitely working hard. It's fun to watch the candy being made. I got a chocolate Oreo pretzel and something called a gopher, which seems a bit like a chocolate turtle but larger, and with an outside covered in pecans rather than the usual chocolate coating. My friend got her pralines and also two biscuits/treats for her pup back home. I can only imagine the pralines are great since she remembered them from her childhood and wanted to come back and get them! For my part, the gopher thing was awesome. So many yummy pecans, gooey caramel...super satisfying. The pretzel was a little less successful; the Oreo pieces tended to chip off so that was a little sad. Still enjoyed it though! Thanks for the sweet treats :)

This a a large candy store. Both wrapped candy you find anywhere and a large candy kitchen making taffy, candy apples, chocolates, and the thing you go to a candy store in the South for... pralines! You can enjoy a free sample of their pralines as they are being cooked. (A mouth full of flavored sugar). 4 pralines cost around $15 (a little less than 1/2 lb. Their special is buy a pound and get 1/2 lb free. Purchased a Paw Patrol Lunch box for my Grand ($18) and he could fill it with all the candy it would hold from the barrels. (Wrapped candy) It held a LOT of candy. Fun stop on River Street.

I want to move here. Well, not to the Candy Kitchen per se, but to Savannah. During our cross country road trip in Summer 2022, we spent a couple of days in this historic city, and just fell in love with it, warts and all. As SoCal natives and lifelong residents, visiting a city like this, so full of history and charm, really makes the heart ache in different directions. There's a "Life is like a box of chocolates" punchline in here somewhere... heck, you can walk to that very filming spot and hike up your pants like Gump if you want. Luckily, copious quantities of chocolate and sugar assuage the torment of malcontent, and sate the hunger for something geographically different. Enter the Candy Kitchen on River St., just a few doors down from the place we had lunch. After turning down the dessert menu at that restaurant, we asked the server where we might find some sweets. This place was her top recommendation, and also the closest. Good thing, because we were pretty stuffed... But there's always room for peanut butter cups, says I. The store is about what your wildest candy dreams and imagination could muster: floor to ceiling shelves of just about every candy you ever knew at any stage of your life, surrounding several glass top counters with even more delectable creations of chocolate, caramel, fudge, and all sorts of other goodies. Oh you wanted ice cream? Move to the left, and have at it. Oh, you were looking for some kind of candy coated apple? Good luck picking from the 50+ options and iterations, each more beautiful than the one before it. They even had that candy that's been outlawed in the People's Republic of California, you know... Things like candy gum cigarettes. My kid bought a pack, chewed most of it to it's 15 second flavorless conclusion, and so far, we haven't found Pall Mall's or Camel's under his bed. The fact that this candy store is just a few steps from cobblestone streets and decidedly non-ADA staircases that were traveled by our forefathers and founders of the nation make it all the more special. I know you folks who live there don't want another California family relocating out there... and trust me, we can't afford to leave for a while anyway. But I sure hope we get to visit again sometime soon.

I feel like this is one of those places you walk into and are so mesmerized by the fragrance of the sweets and the variety to choose from that the price becomes the last concern. I walked in and was drawn to the ice cream, popcorn and chocolates and decided to grab some pralines to go. To my surprise, they were more expensive than River Street Sweets just steps away where they had a special offer: buy 1 lb and get 1/2 lb for free. I paid just about the same amount for 1/2 lb at the register here as I did at RSS. Wasn't happy about that so keep that in mind. As for the taste, the pralines are delicious, possibly because they all use the same recipe. They had lots of ice cream and if I were spending the day here I would have definitely indulged. Since this was a pit stop off I-95 I decided to save it for another visit to Savannah. Some friends tried the popcorn and loved it. Really there is something for everyone here. Just be prepared to pay; prices are high for these pretty gourmet treats.

My favorite spot to grab candy to bring home after a trip. Fresh snacks and desserts! Employees are super nice and quick

The River Street location may feel like it's for tourist, but as a local I can't wait by without buying something! The free praline sample is alway warm and delicious. I'm a chocolate covered pretzel fan and the milk chocolate is smooth and creamy. There's so many options to choose from it's hard to decide. I love the chocolate rice crispy treats - they're huge! The staff is always friendly. This place is a well oiled machine!

4/24/2023 Weekend getaway Son wanted to go to Savannah for his birthday and we always include a stop at the Candy Kitchen. This time the Gopher Turtles were a smash hit and we discovered the yummy popcorn. Got a large bag with every flavor, it caused some small friendly spats over who got to hold the bag, so next time maybe a bag for each of us. LOL The staff were all very nice and didn't mind our indecisiveness or the many questions.

There are two shops , one on River St , the other which we went to is in the City Market . We have been here before and especially enjoy the praline pecans . As you walk in there's usually someone cooking up a batch of their delicious pecan praline patties and handing you a sample ! Yum ! Everything looks so inviting . Definitely a place to stop in and indulge that sweet tooth !

I cannot rave enough about this candy shop! It easily rivaled some of my favorite shops in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The taffy is delicious and they pull it right there in front of you. They will pull a piece right off the machine for you to try and it's melt in your mouth taffy! Staff is very friendly and willing to answer all questions, even my non stop talking 6 year old! Haha! They have so many varieties of chocolates, fudges, bear claws, taffy, hard candies, etc. SOOOOOO much to choose from! The atmosphere feels like you are right on a New Orleans street shopping! Highly recommend stopping by if in Savannah!

Located in the heart of River Street this is a must-visit when in Savannah. Their ice cream is great and their chocolate-covered pretzels are amazing. You can also see taffy being freshly made in their store. Their fudge options are also great. Whenever I visit Savannah I make it a point to stop by to get some pretzels.

This candy shop was smaller than another one close by but OMG the candy is so delicious. From the taffy to the candied nuts and a chocolate covered pretzel, everything was fresh and tasted oh, so good! This is the candy place for me!

Wow! Our family had such a fun time in this candy store. We tried free samples that were delicious and bought a wide variety of items from flavored popcorn to a truck filled with candy and really appreciated being able to buy a few cold bottles of water for a fair price. Can't wait to visit again!

Cozy vibe looking bro draw in anyone with its aura and mesmerizing smell. Employees really do give you that southern charm. Their food is delectable.

The ice cream was 10/10! I ordered two scoops, a mango and a chocolate hazelnut and the mix of them both is really good. I was walking down the street and it was very hot so I decided to go in and it did not disappoint. Really good service and really good ice cream. Thank you!

This shop specializes in fudge and hard candy. I'm a peanut butter and chocolate kinda gal, so all they had was milk chocolate peanut butter cups that caught my eye. I will say, the cup was very soft and melted right in my mouth; I HATE rock hard chocolate and peanut butter that tastes like pure sugar rather than a rich almost salty peanut butter flavor. This store has been around for a long time and is popular with tourists.

I don't know what all the fuss is about these candies but someone requested some when I was in Savannah, so I ventured into a few shops, tried a few samples that nearly made my mouth feel like it was squelching together similar to when you accidentally inhale ocean water -- but in this case pure sugar overdose. This is the one I ultimately bought some stuff from so I may gift to the requestor. Cute, clean, pricey like they all are. Did the job. Bottom line: Got what I needed and a sample to know I didn't need any for me!

This place is a candy wonderland! They have everything to appease your sweet tooth! Delicioso! We came here to get a a fresh bag of their kettle popcorn. I got several pieces of chocolate. Honestly, I really didn't know what to get. It was so much. Every item is made on the premises. You can see the sweet treats being made right in front of you. This is a "must visit" on your list of places to visit in Savannah. Enjoy!

In Savannah for our anniversary, decided to explore the area. We enjoyed a cup of delicious ice cream and of course had to get some of the pecan pralines, oh my are they delicious

So good food for meal and a good meal for the day and a good meal for the day and a great meal with a good friend of mine and I will be able to make it to the event on the 15th and I will

We had the pecan chocolate pie omg delicious!!! Crumbs were fought for. The pie was so sticky and yummy crust flacky and moist. Perfect for Thanksgiving and any celebration only wish my dad could had some it was his favorite.

I ordered 2 cakes to be delivered the day before Thanksgiving, i spoke to a person that assured me the cakes would be there the day before Thanksgiving. Well here it is Thanksgiving and no cakes. When they were not delivered by last evening i called and left 2 messages, emailed 2 times and no response. If you can't deliver then don't tell someone you can. I will dispute the charges as they did not do what they said they would do. And i will never order anything from them again.

I love a good candy store and this store was so fun to walk around and smell all the smells! It is a huge shop with a popcorn shop attached too. I was literally a kid in a candy store! I opted to purchase a white chocolate covered marshmallow with m&m's on top and it was exactly what I needed. There were so many tasty treats to choose from including fudge, taffy, brownies, clusters, candy apples, etc. So many decisions. I had a nice time walking around and taking photos and noticed that there was a girl in the back dipping the apples so I hung out back there for a bit to watch. Such a fun time! The marshmallow treat was so good and fresh. I am glad I chose that treat and I am now bummed that I did not purchase additional goodies to go.

What a fun spot for a family treat! We spent way too much money on treats at this shop. It's a great value, and we just purchased too many yummy items. Lolz. The pralines are magic. The saltwater taffy is pulled right there. The rice krispy treats are as BIG AS YOUR HEAD. Don't miss this sweet Savannah shop.

I love that they offer free samples of the prailines. I had never had one before so it was great to be able to try it before purchasing. Most of the staff was very friendly and there was so much candy. Nice selection of drinks and popcorn as well. It was a little pricey for the chocolates and some other things but overall it was just a fun place to stop into.

After a day on the tour trolley my husband and I checked out Savannah's Candy Kitchen. I only had one thing on my list that I wanted, Pecan Pralines. The shop is divided into three separate sections with wall-to-wall candy and sweets. There is a section full of nostalgic candy, a section devoted to chocolates/fudge, candy apples and pralines. You can watch the workers dipping apples and mixing pralines while you're trying to decide what you want. Ice cream and other treats are in another section of the store. My husband and I both got a bowl of Banana Pudding ice cream with nice bites of nilla wafers blended into the creamy yellow custard. My husband got a few slices of sugared fruit slices, and a few pieces of peanut brittle. I got my pecan praline which was about the size of my palm. The pecan praline was a sugar shock to the taste buds rich and sweet, but so hard to stop eating. Definitely a candy lovers destination, especially for Southern treats. Prices are what you'd expect at a location like this but definitely worth it.

Hello Candy Heaven!! This vintage looking adorable shop has the best of everything. All types of candy, caramel apples and popcorn. Your every craving is here. The shop has everything displayed beautifully. It was so easy to browse and find everything you are looking for. The people working there were very nice and helpful. My friends and I loaded up on a ton of things to bring back to our hotel room. Visiting Savannah's Candy Kitchen was a fun experience.

This place has every imaginable Keeney you can imagine up and want. The store itself takes up almost half a block. You can smell the delicious popcorn from the caramel and the praline chocolates. They have ice cream and shakes and anything you could possibly ever want or crave. It was such an overload for the senses. The candied apples and caramel apples are huge here. There's a line to order all of the candy with 6 feet distance signs on the floor. It's hard for social distancing, considering the amount of people that are inside the shop.

This was a wonderful place! I took my friend here who is from out of town... it was like taking a kid to the candy store (literally!) the staff was super friendly and helpful! The line was kinda long but they had so many helpers that it took no time to get through the line.

If you want candy, this is the place to be! All kinds of candy, ice cream, chocolate here; I truly felt like a kid in a candy store. We bought some of their classic pecan-caramel pieces, that are super sweet. Also, their white coconut-milk chocolate clusters were pretty good. I picked up some strawberry licorice in their bins that was very fresh. Staff was really friendly and helpful. This is a big place, I'm sure anyone will find something they like!

This is for their mail service. Everything in their store is very good. Always enjoy their store when in town. From pictures on their web site I hoped to have that same experience for moms 93rd birthday since she asked for pralines. The individually wrapped pralines that were delivered did not seem like the same product. We were both very disappointed. Much rather have the authentic product as pictured on the web site for taste, appearance and originality. These seemed to be specifically smaller and packaged for shipping.
