    So if you like the diabetes this is definitely going to be your friend LOL. I'm only kidding, but it's a lot of sugars here. The parking is deck parking, and its free for a couple of hours. That is aside from it being game day, at that point all bets are off with parking. Here you can taste some of the candy that they have there, they have some ice cream, and they have a boatload of all the other wrapped goodies for you. I'm not really a candy fan by any means though, but if you are or you have small kids with you they will have a field Day. You'll go ahead and talk to the person at the register and they'll get you straightened out, from when I've been there. They've been super friendly so I don't have any complaints.

    Me and my family went to a baseball game and stopped in here after. They have all the old school candies that used to be in the bubble gum machine. We filled up a bag and the ice cream was good as well. Shout out to Avery for having outstanding customer service

    River Street Sweets is a candy and sweets shop at The Battery. If the store's doors are open, customers can just smell the sweetness flowing out toward The Battery walkway. The store isn't that big, but it has a lot of product packed in there, and still has space for customers to walk through without running into each other. Lots of sweets here: a wall full of unpackaged loose candies that customers can dispense by themselves from canisters and bins (at $16.95 per lb!); ice cream and gelato scooped up by employees; hand dipped candy and caramel apples, and Rice Krispy treats; various flavors of fudge; sweets made with fruits; hand made chocolate clusters and candies; their "World Famous Pralines" and so much more! The owners should train all of their employees how to provide great customers service. Only one of the four employees that I saw was actually assisting customers. This guy was helping all of the customers, answering their questions, scooping up ice cream and gelato, and other tasks, while the other three even disappeared off of the sales floor for a while, leaving only one employee helping about 15 customers (not all together). R stopped another of the employees to tell her he wanted to get a caramel apple, and she turned to the busy employee and told him to assist R, and then she disappeared from the floor. This store has a lot of sweets and candies that many people love, but I think that most of the items are overpriced, especially the $16.95 per pound candies along the candy wall. Customers dispense or select the candies by themselves, and there is a scale to determine the weight of the candies, but, seriously, you still have to pay for everything you've already dispensed, so keep this in mind when dispensing candies from the canisters.

    Finished having dinner and was checking out all the cool places in the Battery and came across this candy store. Went in and it had a steady flow of customers coming in and out but wasn't overwhelming. Everything was very neat, clean and well organized. I grabbed a half pound of assorted candy and it may or may not be gone already . All really fresh. I'd come back.

    This place smells yummy! I felt like I had been to somewhere similar and turns out I had been. There's a location off of Broadway in Nashville, TN. This location is smaller but still has lots of yummy treats and goodies. It's located in the Battery in Atlanta, GA. My friend and I just looked around. Neither one of us bought anything; I think because we had just finished a delicious brunch at a nearby restaurant. The staff appeared to be hard at work. Unfortunately, no one greeted us or asked if we needed any assistance. Overall, this was a cool little adventure. I am happy to know that this candy shop exists and is in closer proximity than the one in Nashvegas!

    Will making fresh pralines

    While we were waiting for a table at the Yard House in the Battery, we stopped into River Street Sweets. Patrick enticed us with a free sample of warm, fresh pralines. They were amazing. We also sampled a few flavors of gelato. Everything tasted great. After trying the praline samples, Sidney enticed us to purchase some. I had intended on purchasing one, but Sidney convinced me to buy two. They were soft and super sweet. The prices are a little high in the candy store, but the fresh pralines are definitely worth it. I'll be back the next time I visit the Battery.

    Came here for ice cream and just browsing with the kids while waiting for our movie time. I'm giving them four stars because the kids enjoyed themselves and the staff was nice and friendly. However this place had a 87 health score and I was scared. But we had passed on the other ice cream shop for this one because Savanhaa's had more kid friendly flavors. I bought a prepackaged pecan log and a bottle of water. My daughter enjoyed her birthday cake & cotton Candy ice cream cup. There's outdoor seating, but it's for the Battery in general. It's a cute tourist type of place. If they had a better score I would have tried some of there in house Candy, treats, or ice cream.

    The candy was almost depleted. Ice cream was okay. Not really a lot to choose from and the prices are a bit high for quality of candy.

    This is a cool candy store, but I did not buy anything. The candy was way overpriced but considering the location, it is expected.

    I tried some of their praline and it was fantastic, I would have bought some but already had my other treats.

We saw some of the really cute things in the window, so we walked in and it did not disappoint. The place was filled with chocolates macaroons and a whole bunch of pastries. You could also order a whole variety of espresso drinks and lattes, etc. It even had a really cute seating area directly outside, but if you could fit yourself inside, there was some bar seating as well. The place is not large however, the cases are definitely filled with a lot of goodies. On this particular day, it did take us a little while to make a decision as there are quite a few choices. However, the two staff members who were here that day were very patient with us. We did walk away with macaroons a lemon meringue tart as well as a Canele. You know what it's in the pictures. I do not have a picture of that because it was eaten before I got a chance to take a picture of it. But everything was so tasty absolute perfection. I don't know who's making this stuff but they are truly talented. I have to come back here again when I'm in Buckhead Village.

The employee was sitting down behind the counter just ignoring everyone who came in so quite literally the store was not being monitored and a few other customers mentioned how it would be easy to take. I wanted some gummies and went over to their selection but you can tell it is not maintained. Lots of stale gummies and or empty bins. It was rather disappointing. Once I was ready I was at the counter for about 12 minutes and I kept looking at the employee to see if they would come over. Eventually I said excuse me and he got up very annoyed. Didn't even greet me, tons of attitude and mumbled my total so low I couldn't hear it and had to rely on the screen for my price. I said thank you and he just ignored me and went back to his seat to completely ignore the other customers. It is pretty unfortunate that this location has such awful service.

My recent experience on a Sunday evening (5:22 PM, to be exact) was not just disappointing--it was a glaring example of systemic indifference and selective engagement that has no place in retail, let alone a family-friendly establishment. From the moment my excited little one walked in--freeing herself from her stroller with the innocent enthusiasm only a child can muster--to the moment she proudly selected her lollipop and approached the counter, not a single employee could muster a "Hello," "How are you?" or even a perfunctory "Did you find everything okay?" Instead, the interaction was reduced to a robotic price quote, dead silence, then back to their conversation. No warmth, no acknowledgment, no effort. If the staff's exhaustion at the end of a weekend shift was the issue, then management needs to reevaluate scheduling or hire employees who understand that customer service is the bare minimum in retail. What makes this experience even more egregious is that this wasn't an isolated incident. On multiple occasions, I've noticed a pattern--certain customers are greeted warmly, while others (particularly those who look like me) are met with cold indifference. A simple "Hello" should not be a privilege; it should be standard. If your staff lacks the emotional intelligence to treat all patrons with equal respect, then your establishment has failed at its most fundamental duty. The most heartbreaking part? Watching my little one's bright-eyed anticipation wither into confusion when her simple joy was met with blank stares. Children remember these moments. They internalize them. And while she may not fully grasp the nuances of poor service or discrimination, I do--and I refuse to spend my money in a place that allows such energy to thrive. In 2025, consumers have endless options--and even more platforms to voice their dissatisfaction. If your employees lack the personality (or basic decency) to engage with customers, they have no business working in retail. And if management turns a blind eye to discriminatory behavior, then they don't deserve patronage. To Lolli and Pops at Perimeter Mall: You've lost not just my future business, but the business of my network as well. My coins--and those of my vendors--will be spent elsewhere, with establishments that understand respect, inclusivity, and the bare minimum of hospitality. To Potential Customers: Spend wisely. Your money and your energy should go to businesses that value you--regardless of what you look like or what time you walk in. "A candy store that leaves a bitter taste."
