Visiting Charleston for my birthday weekend and decided to try this place for icecream. Upon entry the employee was waking away from the icecream and going to ring up two customers. We looked at the icecream and said we'd like to get some. She rudely said I'll do it this time...confused by what she meant we said don't you close at 9? She said I'm the only one here then another employee walks out from the back. It was just before 8:30 and the door was pushed open. She needs training, I don't know if she was the manager had what looked like a finger waved wig on. We did not buy anything walked around the outlet and when leaving saw other customers coming out at 8:50with items. Do better!!!! read more

River Street Sweets - Candy Stores Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Came in today and the ice cream was ok but the lady behind the counter wouldn't let us sample any more flavors and was visibly upset when my friend didn't purchase any ice cream (because she didn't know what it tasted like because she wasn't allowed to sample it). We were waiting at the counter for several minutes as we waited for her to finish talking to her co worker as she made eye contact with us several times. She was just as rude to the customers in line behind us. Overall just bad customer service. I work in food and bev and i honestly would never ever treat my customers like this. read more

If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place for you! Amazing selection of candies, both packaged and fresh made, served up by friendly smiling staff. One might think this place would be crazy busy with "pant tuggers" (aka children) but perhaps it was the time of day, so it was quiet as a library. Even so, I would not have been deterred by a little noise; it's nothing a mouthful of sweets can't fix. (Ha, Ha) I'm looking forward to my next visit because the fresh pralines are divine! read more

Ordered a chocolate shake which came with 1.5 scoops of ice cream. Tasted like a glass of milk with a drop of chocolate. Store was unbelievably hot with the ice cream melting. read more

Was looking forward to having a gos ice cream. The ice cream was "meh". Definitely not worth the price.

If you have a sweet tooth or just a craving for ice cream, this is the place to go. The customer service alone is worth going there. They have every kind of candy you can think of and plenty of samples to help you decide. Can't go wrong there. read more

Who has a sweet tooth?!? Not me, but anyone who has one should totally visit River Street Sweets when they visit the outlets in Charleston. This place has candied apples, chocolate covered pretzels, gummy bears, gummy worms, fudge, and more!! I'm not even gonna lie, I was overwhelmed when I walked in the door, but that quickly subsided and I became a big kid again. What was awesome was seeing the staff actually make the items in front of you. I have never seen fudge made before, but it was pretty cool. It was also cool seeing the pretzels get covered and drizzled. Think of it like a mini Willy Wonka shop without the Oompa Loompas! All this goodness in one place, but I did feel it was bit pricey... good thing I don't have a sweet tooth, I would have spent entirely too much money! lol read more

If you love pralines and/or caramel this is the place! Their original pralines and bear claws are worth a taste fresh from the store. They gave self serve candy and sugared fruit slices that are a tasty treat too! Service with a smile! Wish they delivered to Canada. Oh well will have to come back again next visit. read more

Amazing ice cream and even better customer service! So many options and a nice, clean shop.

Gummies, chocolate covered pretzels, pralines, bark, truffles, jelly beans, taffy, bear claws, candy apples--you name it, they have it. This store is sure to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. Definitely a sugar overload! It's super organized. There's an ice cream counter in the back of the store. They offer about 20 flavors. The prices are a little high. Most of the items are pay by the pound but they do have prepackaged items. The associates are helpful. read more

I've been coming into River Street Sweets since October 2023 the 1st day that I walked into this store was a pleasure meeting Chris Haskins I believe he's assistant manager maybe a manager I'm not really sure but he greeted me with a friendly smile and very outgoing all my management of 32 years I would love to have someone like him on my team he's very outgoing very polite. I went into the store today Chris was in the store today and he's so cheerful you couldn't ask for a better person I really enjoy going in there especially when Chris is there he brightens up my day thank you Chris Haskins read more

gelato smells and tastes like it was expired 5 years ago, customer service is awful do something with your freezers and train your stuff how to treat customer, I need fresh produce and if I am first in line they must serve me first read more

You can't beat a good sweet shop, and River Street Sweets sells specialty items without having to go downtown and find (and pay for) parking. The staff members are nice, and immediately upon walking in, offer you a praline sample. The store has all sorts of sweet items, including ice cream, chocolate covered pretzels, caramel apples, clusters, rice krispy treats, and truffles. The reason for my three star review is because the store is pricey. Yes, it is located in an outlet mall, but River Street Sweets is NOT an outlet. The packaged candy prices are double what you'd pay at a big-box store, and the ice cream is a bit steep as well- it would be $20+ for a family of four to have ice cream here. If you're looking for specialty sweets or pralines, you can't beat the convenience and quality. Hey, if you save enough money outlet shopping, a chocolate covered rice krispy treat is a fun splurge. read more

The candy is incredible and made in store. The customer service is unmatched. Such a nice guy let us sample some of the pralines and bear claws and walked us through the differences of each. We will be returning!! read more

Not happy at all with the ice cream. $12 for one double and 1 single cup. Problem was they were the size of single and kiddie if that. Also single scoop was over half frozen ice only. read more

River Street Sweets - This is the double scoop I paid over $6.00 for. - Candy Stores Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Love the sweets and all the treats. Never been disappointed. I was surprised to learn that they also have this is Tanger Outlet. So it's great not to worry about parking and having another option than downtown. read more

DELICIOUS! Will be back again and again and again and again and again. Cannot wait to try more sea salt items!

River Street Sweets at Tanger Outlets in North Charleston is one of my favorite places to go in the area for all things snacks and sweets.

The staff here is very friendly and accommodating to make sure that you have everything that you need and more. I have been happy with all of the purchases that I have made from here. read more

they told me the candy would be 17.89 and to "go crazy" with the candy. We got candy about halfway to the top and then we went to check out and the guy looked at us in a rude way and put it on the scale. It was 58.00$ for a bag of candy. But the ice cream was good and normal priced. read more

If you need a sweet fix -- this is the place ! Great cookies and candy selections. Many Popcorn flavors. Very helpful staff. Clean, fresh and tasty. read more

I bought several items, but one in particular was noteworthy, and not in a good way. The chocolate walnut fudge looked normal, but when I tried to cut off a piece with a plastic butter knife, I almost broke the knife! Despite the fact that it was super dry, I ate it anyway, and discovered that is was extremely stale. I suspect all of their fudge predates COVID 19. read more

Best place for any hand made sweets and southern treats Jessica here is very helpful and kind!

While shopping on King Street, I discovered Market Street Sweets on King! I didn't even know they had one on King! Great place to go for candy, ice cream, pralines, fudge and more! Their pralines are heavenly, and have to be the best in town! The prices are steep for everything they sell, but I know they have to keep up with the overhead of being on King Street. The lady who helped us with ice cream was delightful. She was friendly, and eager to please. Stop in and try a praline sample! You will not regret it! read more

Awesome!!! All of their fudge and candies are Amazing!!! Will definitely be shopping here again!!!

I am totally disappointed I came to this store. The clerk charged my card 5 times (additional $150) for the same transaction because their system was malfunctioning. I was told the charges will drop but that was not the case, they were all applied. I called the store and again they was adamant the charges were not supposed to be applied and there was nothing they can do to fix it. I had to call my bank which took approximately 1:10 because of call volumes. This was a major inconvenience and waste of my time. read more

I don't know what its called but there is this chocolate cookie thing with pecans on it that tastes like heaven. I asked the clerk how much they were, she said "2-3$". I said okay and then got charged $4.50. Oh well it's by weight I guess. I figure there are 48 of those cookie things on each tray so it's around $200 I bet they are printing money!! Anyways I love it and will go back, but be warned, it's EXPENSIVE. read more

This place is a dream. As soon as I walked in I was offered a sample of caramel brittle which was amazing by all accounts. They offered to help if I had any question while looking over the many selections of candy and treats. On my way out I grabbed there online catalog conveniently located on there counter. As I was looking thru it, a employee let me know that if I use there store location when ordering online, I can get free shipping. When I left, they thanked me and invited me to come again. This place is so friendly and helpful. And it really helps that the sweets are DELICIOUS! read more

Pralines Candy Ice cream Need I say more? We stopped in on NYE while just roaming downtown and though they were busy we were in and out quickly. Of course they had samples of the pralines. read more

I was planning to order an ice cream cone and pralines, but the associate working in the ice cream section went directly from cleaning out the freezer with a towel, to grabbing one glove with her bare, unwashed hand and securing the glove with the other unwashed hand. When she almost dropped the wax paper that was to go around the cone and catch it between the portion of her shirt not covered with the apron and her hand, I decided to walk away. read more

The first time I got ice cream from here, I got a hearty serving and it was delicious. The second time, I got a very small serving - not worth the money I spent. I decided to give it one more try. I got a small serving (even though I paid for double scoops) and it was very icy tasting. Don't waste your money on this place. read more
