Firstly- ALWAYS SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES! Here we have a small, local owned bulk candy store that's…read moresuper cute! We came in looking for candy cigarettes for my son, and they had them for 99 cents a pack! We got exactly what we were looking for for an AMAZING price! They also have a good assortments of old school candy, salt water taffy and freeze dried goodies. I am so happy I don't have to drive to Boone to Mast general store because I found what I needed here! Just a note, it was a little hard to find... You will need to walk into the little corridor that says "shoppes" that is located in between the buildings. The shop is in that hallway/corridor. It's a super cute store for kids and adults of all ages! Hopefully, they'll be able to get in some more items soon as the business grows! Stop in and check them out!

We stopped in while visiting the area and were so glad we did. This shop is a true local gem with a…read morenostalgic, small-town charm. The shelves are packed with an impressive variety of candy--from classic chocolates to fun, individually wrapped treats you don't often find anywhere else. They also carry small gifts, unique goodies and an antiques in the back, which makes it a fun spot to browse whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for something to take home. Even though we didn't end up buying anything this time, we really enjoyed wandering through and taking it all in. It's the kind of place that brings out your inner kid and makes you smile. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and want to experience a bit of local flavor and charm!

I had never had a praline before, and she took the time to explain it and answer my questions. I'm celiac so hearing that most of their products are gluten free was a big plus. I tried the praline, loved it, and had no reaction. Diane really knew the shop and made the whole experience feel welcoming.

After completing the Swamp Rabbit trail in Greenville South Carolina, my family and I decided to…read moreexplore downtown Greenville walking the lively streets. I was in the mood for some homemade soft-serve ice cream. To our surprise we stumbled upon River Streets Sweets- an homemade candy and ice cream confectionery located in the heart of downtown Greenville. I was in Oh, with the desserts they had ranging from candy, fudge, chocolate covered apples, soft-serve ice cream, popcorn, nuts, chocolate covered pretzels/marshmallows, and so much more. Thankfully my family was there because I would have bought everything-it's a child's dream. At last I got the soft-serve ice cream I was craving all day. Let me tell you, the ice cream, gelato, and sorbet were truly homemade. To my surprise the prices were not as pricey considering they were in downtown Greenville. My family got two scoops in a cup costing $7.95 a single scoop is $4.95. The scoops are a decent size for the price you are paying. River Streets Sweets has some unique flavors that I have never heard of before, such as Bear Claw, Blueberry, Hazelnut Coffee Crunch, and Pink Grapefruit. They also serve Raspberry Sorbet sugar-free which is nice. My family decided to get Rocky Road and Bear Claw. The ice cream was so rich, creamy, and flavorful. It did not taste artificial like some ice creams in supermarkets. My whole family was pleased with the purchase. The staff were extremely friendly, especially the one member who was mending the ice cream section. She was so kind and energetic, letting my family sample the flavors before purchasing, which a lot of food businesses do not do. In addition, to my surprise, the store was huge, leaving plenty of space to walk around without running into other customers. The store was organized, making it easy to see all the yummy treats. There was no visible dirt or dust, the businesses looked polished.The only downfall would be the parking situation, since they are located in the heart of Greenville parking is limited. I would recommend walking and parking in a free or reduced parking area. The next time I am in downtown Greenville or around the area, I will be stopping by River Streets Sweets to indulge in some of their other sweet treats, such as their fudge and chocolate covered apples. I would recommend checking out River Streets Sweets if you are in the area.

I only ended up getting some penny candy that I haven't had in a while, it was 15 for $1, again pricey! They had the viral Asian fruit ice creams, cheesecake slices which I believe were about 10/15 dollars per slice.... They had candied grapes a lot of candy that you probably haven't seen for ages. Asain snacks such as chips, sodas, etc. So it's worth a try, especially if you've been craving candy you haven't seen for a while. The store is small, but has a nice layout. The lady at the counter was nice. Will I be back, probably not. But, I am happy that I finally came! Give them a shot!

I mentioned this to the friendly owner and she said this was definitely what they were trying to do. They have ALL the THINGS. Now n laters, laffty taffy, pop rocks, chips and so much more! I highly recommend this small business.

I've only had their Italian ice and cupcakes here which is always delicious! They have a good selection of ice flavors and a medium is $3.25 for up to 2 flavors (pictured) and enough to share between two people. They also have a smaller size (1 flavor) and large (3 flavors), I don't remember the pricing but it's all under $5! The flavors are so accurate, fruity, and not overly sick and the quantity is amazing for the price. Watermelon is my absolute favorite. Their cupcakes are also my favorite. Light fluffy cake base with whipped sweet frosting. They sold out today so I wasn't able to see or remember their flavors but they usually offer a range. My only wish is that they were open for longer hours during the week, sometime it's hard to stop by!
