After a filling lunch, I came to the Promenade at Sunset Walk to walk it off. It was such a humid day that I needed something to cool me off. That's when I spotted River Street Sweets and decided to check it out. Upon entering, I noticed the well-organized shop featured a vast array of chocolate covered treats neatly displayed in a large case. I looked at the small selection of ice cream and gelato flavors and asked one of the employees for a single scoop of pineapple gelato. There was no seating inside. Since I didn't want to go out into the humidity, I just stood inside and enjoyed my sweet treat. The texture of the gelato was incredibly smooth and creamy, and I could taste the distinct pineapple flavor in every bite. It was thoroughly enjoyable and did an exceptional job of cooling me down. NOTE: There is a 3% surcharge on credit card purchases. read more

This is a great store that doesn't just sell chocolates but has ice cream and lots of praline. Upon entering the store smells of amazing chocolate and sweets. There are tons of selections of pralines, which of course my favorite is peacan, sweet and buttery which can be a little too sweet depending on your palate. The space is roomy, yet can get crowded on a busy day. Staff is friendly and ready to answer any question you may have. It's great seeing a candy store in the strip where you can fulfill your sweet cravings after a nice savory lunch or dinner. read more

River Street Sweets - Yummy pralines - Candy Stores Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

We were at Escapology and stopped in for some pralines. I'm a southern girl and haven't had good pralines since we moved to TX 8 yrs ago. Buc-ee's tries but doesn't come close. We are used to the ones from Savannah and St Mary's GA. So I have high expectations! Everyone was very friendly and there were so many treats to choose from. But I stuck with my plan and got my 1lb and 1/2 lb free. I have enough to share with our neighbors and put some away for a rainy day! We will stop in again soon to try other goodies from the cabinet. Very clean and smelled so good that I didn't want to leave. read more

Walked here after dinner to get some gelato and I wasn't too impressed. Ordered the pistachio flavor and it didn't have too much of a pistachio flavor. It was busy inside as there was a large group ahead of me. read more

Anthony was so helpful and kind helping us choose the perfect treats as gifts for our family! Looking forward to more treats!

This whole place has such a fun old timey feel! The ice cream was really good. I tried the Cookie Monster flavor. The staff let us sample some of the flavors before choosing our flavor. They have a lot of different handmade candies, and a lot of prepackaged candies too. They had a section that looks like they sometimes make the candies while people watch, but they weren't currently making anything, so I'm not sure. read more

I forgot the flavor ice cream I had but i think it was praline. I loved the nutty flavor with caramel. I also got their toffee and a chocolate covered pineapple . Their toffee was so delicious but extremely sweet. I was disappointed with the pineapple because it was like a pineapple gummy candy , not a real pineapple slice so that was a let down. Outside of that, I'd go again to try the other treats they have. read more

If sweets are your thing you'll love this place. You can smell the sugar as soon as you walk in. Talk about a sugar rush. I bought a white chocolate bar that was absolutely delicious. There is no proper signage though. I saw someone leaving with a drink and when I asked about it they said it was a milkshake. But there are no signs saying they even offer milkshakes. read more

Quick friendly service, clean location, and efficient despite the crowds. We enjoyed the mint choc, loggerhead and rocky road... however... rocky road has nuts?!?! The rice krispee treats were also great. read more

This place is amazing! There are so many options and we try to get something new each visit. It's hard not to get the delicious pralines. They are simply the best. The pralines are super sweet. It's good that they have chocolates that are not as sweet to balance out the experience. The service is always great. The only problem here is that it sometimes gets very popular with tourists, especially during events around Margaritaville. Pack your patience if you visit on a busy day. Parking is conveniently located in the lot nearby. read more

Nice little shop with a ton of options. Fresh made fudge, pralines, candy and ice cream. I had high hopes headed into the shop, unfortunately the gelato I got was lacking the key lime flavor I was expecting. I also tried chocolate covered peanuts and you could taste the peanuts, but it overwhelmed the chocolate. read more

We loved our gelato from River Sweet. It was our first time visiting but won't be the last. They had the BEST mint ice cream I've ever ate. Not too sweet and no fake flavor. My husband had banana pudding gelato and it was to die for! 10 out 10 recommend! Natasha who waited on us was a doll too and let us sample a few flavors before we committed. read more

We walked into the open door 20 minutes before 10 pm and they were removing ice cream from freezer while we waited for group in front of us being served. We asked for a flavor they had out away and told us no, we couldn't have it. Terrible, rude service! We walked out! Shut and lock the door if you're not going to serve customers! read more

I have not had a praline this good since my visits to New Orleans. The shop offers three types...original, chocolate and toffee. I purchased original and chocolate. They were unmistakably fresh made with quality ingredients...both were smooth, slightly chewy and melted in my mouth like butter. In addition to pralines the shop sells an abundance of southern pastries and baked goods, gift boxes, caramel popcorn, candies, ice cream and chocolate dipped items galore. read more

It may be a tourist trap but big can they make a praline and fudge. This Savannah staple always sets us back about $200 for goodies for the family. Then I have the hide the goodies so they last more than a week when we get home. The pralines are smooth and come in several varieties. The same goes for the fudge and take a stroll around the place for a taffy assortment. We had ice cream to cool off and the flavors and come selections were standard and nothing unique. Customer service was excellent and who can say no to a sample. They also had a great selection of prepackaged novelty candies for those who are t a fan of the southern goodies that are their specialty. A trip to Savannah, Charleston or anywhere there is a satellite store for this company would not be complete. read more

YUM! Inside of the Promenade shopping plaza, it's a great spot to satisfy any sweet tooth. I love any chocolate or candy shop, so you know I'm gonna stop in to any of them when I see them. We have been here a couple of times and each visit was great. The staff is quick to help and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the products. They have ice cream, chocolates, fudge, covered apples, and packaged goods to take to-go. There is also a station where they make the candy in-house and it's fun to watch - our little one loves this part! The store is clean, well organized and nicely stocked. I usually get a stick of dark chocolate covered marshmallows and a couple of truffles. Overall: A+ Great sweet shop and a must do for any sugar fill needs. read more

What a great little place! Their selection of ice cream and sweets was unbelievable, so much to choose from. We sampled the pralines that they are known for and all I can say is WOW! Rather than overindulge in the massive quantities of sweets, we opted for ice cream cones which were also very good. Greeted as we walked in and asked by at least 2 other employees if we needed help or had questions the staff there was amazing! We will be back before our vacation is over!! read more

Very cute little sweet shop. They offer free samples of their pralines, which are very yummy. We stopped in for the gelato, which also offers samples. I ended up with coconut and pineapple flavors, which were DELICIOUS! My little niece loved the birthday cake flavor she got too! My kiddo chose to get a stick of marshmallows dipped in white chocolate with sprinkles. Smiles all around! read more

I stopped in here while waiting to pick up dinner. You can smell the sugar as soon as you walk in! If you like sweets, this is the place for you! I checked to see if they had fudge, and they did! Good fudge is hard to find, so I got some. They didn't have a lot of flavors, so I got plain peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter. They were both very good and very soft! My husband doesn't like sweets (I know, what? lol), so I was the only one eating it. I think I bought it on Wednesday and I didn't finish it until Monday, and it stayed nice and soft the whole time! I only had the paper bag they gave me and a ziploc bag to store it in. Great fudge! read more

Beautiful: the place, the complex that this is store is located, the chocolates, the ice cream... But talking about flavor, disappointed. Extremely sweet, even the dark chocolate. Truffle fillings, just a sweet creamy, flavored with the essence you like. read more

This place had sooo many great sweet options. Ice cream was great. Selection of random chocolates was expansive. Price is what you'd expect in an entertainment district like this. Only con.. would like to have more seating options. read more

Place looks beautiful and chocolate well organized. The problem is Devin our server was lost not knowing what chocolate we wanted and grabbed wrong ones. At least that was the believe since we got a tiramisu chocolate that tasted nothing like tiramisu. Also prices are a little too high. $6 for a piece of pineapple covered in chocolate. Sad and disappointed. read more

Delicious treats & homemade ice cream. Spendy, but worth the splurge. They don't serve their famous caramel cake at this location .... only at the original location. Disappointing! It was packed - they could use more help, but those waiting on us were very kind. Grab & go. No seating. Scant curbside parking...you have to walk about 2 blocks to get here from the closest parking lot. Loved EVERYTHING (only selected milk chocolate for all) Assorted truffles Chocolate-covered pretzels Chocolate-covered graham crackers Chocolate-covered caramels Got 2 scoops of ice cream: butter cookie dough & banana pudding YUMMY! read more

This shop has some great sweets, as well as samples if you want to try out their pralines. However, their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. They tried to charge me three times for something and even after I showed proof I paid, they demanded to write down my name and credit card number. The sweets aren't worth the awful customer service. Ugh. read more

I love this place- I can go broke here lol. But kidding aside, the staff is always nice and the place always smells delicious! They offer chocolate covered strawberries when in season and I am not joking when I say I have purchased their entire inventory of them for the day on more than one occasion! I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Literally tastes just as good as it would if we were in Savannah. I found this place on a whim, I had typed in ice cream near me and when this popped up - forget ice cream, we HAD to stop. When we walked in it was empty. 2 employees were behind the glass making pralines and offering samples. 3 employees were behind the counter waiting on customers. They have packaged candy, taffy (pre-packaged), standard candy, ice cream, gelato, fudge, chocolate covered marshmallows, chocolate covered (& also candy covered) Rice Krispies, fruit tarts, truffles, chocolate covered pretzels, candy apples, caramel apples, pralines & a few other delicacies. We ordered 3 double scoops of ice cream, but somehow got 4. We questioned and the lady shared 4 doubles were purchased. Flavors we ordered: praline, mint chocolate, banana pudding & chocolate. Hands down the banana pudding ice cream is down right delicious, you may even find a Nila wafer. The mint chocolate ice cream had a strong mint taste & had huge chunks of chocolate. The chocolate ice cream was nothing worthwhile and the praline ice cream was delicious! A few of our delicacies were 2 chocolate covered rice Kirstie, pralines & fudge pieces. Tip: all delicacies are weighed for price. They had a special by 1lb of praline, get 1/2lb free. read more

Delicious, fresh pralines made in house. Ian offered us a sample of pralines, and they were quite good. My partner enjoys turtles, and the milk chocolate Loggerhead we got here was one which was highly praised between the caramel and the nuts included in the treat as well as the topping of high quality chocolate. I got a few pralines, and while not the best that I have EVER had (New Orleans is tough to beat with theirs, not going to lie....) they are definitely delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was quite nice and a fairly large selection of sweets ensures we have a lot to enjoy in subsequent trips. read more
