Once we got into the store, it was full of old time candy from my childhood. Even though there was a line, the server took his time and helped us find the perfect order. He offered suggestion to my wife as they out tighter the prefect milkshake. I ordered a single serving on a waffle cone. The serving was very generous. Not to be outdone, my son orders the double. It was a mountain of ice cream! The server was kind and engaging. He made us feel like we were his only customers. Again, the ice cream was delicious. And the atmosphere was fun. We will definitely be back.

Not only was the taffy so delicious with so many different flavors but the service we received while we chose our taffy was unmatched. Not only did she help us by giving us suggestions of flavors we might like, but she also was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area. She kept the store extremely clean and organized and treated us with such genuine enthusiasm from the moment we walked through the door. Loved this place so much, would definitely return just to see her again!

Most,…read moreif not all of the candy in here is family made in the general area and you can honestly taste the freshness, especially in the salt water taffy. There were not any that we got that were hard and there are an absolute ton of flavors to choose from, more by far than any other store! The taffy itself was so fresh and the flavors really lit up our mouths. The chocolate that we got was pretty good but blown away by the taffy. Now, you will pay for the quality and freshness but in my mind, it was worth it.

They shared a little bit of the story and where their ice cream comes from. They also sell candy in addition to ice cream. The shop is bright, colorful, and offers ample seating. I sampled a few flavors before deciding on a scoop of salted caramel and a scoop of coffee, which are my two go-to flavors. The scoops were huge (see photos!). Delicious! My husband got their no sugar added ice cream which I believe was a cherry flavor. He enjoyed it as well.

I love the lunch deal and hand made sandwiches that make a quick and affordable meal. I had so much nostalgia from treats I have not seen in years. The beer selection is great, and the individual cans sold make it more affordable to get a craft beer here than anywhere else in town. The staff is amazing and within a couple times meeting Eddie I consider him my friend. You never know what new items you will find at the corner store but it will be delightful either way. Cannot recommend enough!

I went to this little market next to Stella's in hopes of finding some jelly or jam. Boy oh boy, I…read moreREALLY lucked out!!! I need to be better about taking pictures, but the jam selection was unreal. I got the Wild Black Raspberry as recommended by the employee. He said it was his personal fav, and WOW, I can see why!! I paired in with some feta wrapped in some well-buttered phyllo sheets, and it was *chef's kiss*. As a matter of fact, I added MORE of the jam after taking it out of the oven. I also got a block of Gouda cheese, which is imported from the Netherlands by a local couple here. Crazy!!! I'm excited to try it soon. I'll update this review whenever I get a chance to try. This little shop was super cute and had exactly what I needed! Small little corner store, just as it says. Friendly service and 10/10 jams. They had other amazing options like Apricot, Blueberry, and some savory options like Garlic Onion and Bacon something. Yum!!! I think this place is a spot for local businesses/vendors to sell their things, because they also had Kahwa coffee grounds which is a local coffee spot here (I think). Love a local business that supports local businesses!!!

The staff member was absolutely amazing in helping us decide which flavors to try, ingredients, and cost. There are lots of sweet and salty flavors to sample. It is hard to choose. We had such an amazing experience we hoped they would be back after the hurricane. Instead of waiting for our next trip to Florida, we made an online order. We ordered Jan 8 and just received our order this week, Feb 20, 2025. There was one issue after another that delayed shipment. We were concerned with the lack of communication. When we finally had a response, it sounds like the owners had a lot going on. The owners sent some samples as a sorry for the issues and delay and a few other extras due to being out of the flavor that were in stock when we ordered. We appreciate the honesty and customer service from company's like this.
