The service is impeccable here. The folks that work here are always busy serving guests, or making something extra delicious. Today I had the pleasure of enjoying some delicious jalapeño cheddar popcorn, coffee flavored ice cream and a praline, talk about kid in a candy shop. The ambiance is giving "Enjoy this life". There's so much to try here and it's all good. There's fudge, ice cream, candy of all sorts, chocolate, candy apples, craft sodas and so much more. read more

I wanted some pralines for my friends back home. As soon as I entered, I was amazed by all of the incredible smells. Candy, popcorn, chocolate....it was all there and it smells scrumptious! I was actually a little happy that we were stuffed from lunch or I probably would have bought so much more. In addition to the pralines I picked up, I got some bear paws as well (pecans covered in caramel and chocolate...like a Turtle but that name must be trade marked.) All made by hand. The special was buy one pound, get a half pound free. This is a no brainer. I got 8 pralines and 5 bear paws for $29. Maybe a little expensive but "Vacation Me" thought it was an excellent deal. I do find myself regretting not buying any jalapeno cheddar popcorn...oh well, I guess I will have to come back! read more

10/10 candy shop from the popcorn to the gelato choices to the pralines to the unlimited throw back candy brands I was on complete heaven and the best part is you can literally try almost all the items such as the popcorn and gelato to help you decide which item you like best.the service was amazing the staff was super friendly and informative and attentive. It's definitely a place to go with friends family or by yourself. read more

I meant to leave this review a while ago. We were walking around the area and stumbled upon this shop. It had a ton of treats that they seemed to make in house. We had five of us, so we tried to buy stuff that we were unfamiliar with, instead of the usual treats we have at home. I'm not able to eat much sugar, so I didn't try anything, but I wanted to! Lol... my kids and their dad loved everything they chose. I thought the value was definitely there and the shop was clean and had a fun vibe with a nice staff. I would come back again the next time we find ourselves in Savannah. read more

Cashier was rude. She was rolling her eyes , giving short responses, and even slammed her fist against the register table. I would love to say my experience was just as sweet as the candy we bought but unfortunately it was NOT. read more

Cute busy shop! Pralines were delectable! The rest, as expected. Definitely stop by for the pralines!!!

Store caught my attention with candied apples in their window and ice cream on their sign! Fun to walk through to see the many options of candy, sweets, ice cream, popcorn. They are known for their pecans praline and bear claws! Got one of each. Dubai chocolate was very tasty too. Felt like I was a child again. read more

On the Riverfront Cobblestone Street in Historical Savannah Tony Vanoy and I was strolling around! Except for the Homeless Bugging you for handouts it was extremely nice! There was a nice breeze along the river and it was 93 degrees! We came out of the bar " The Warehouse" and immediately you are greeted by the century old store front of "RIVER STREET SWEETS" & I had to go in!! Tony waited outside enjoying the fact he could drink his draft beer outside and enjoy his cigarette! I looked at every nook and cranny of this store! I had a sample of the Pink Grapefruit Sorbet in the Ice Cream Parlor in back of store....it was killer but I limited myself to one sample even though I had a hard time deciding! I ended up buying about 10 pieces of Salt Water Taffy various fruity flavors and 2 pieces of Sugar Free Homemade Chocolate! Pecan Turtle Patty and Coconut Stack! I have not eaten them yet going to wait until tomorrow...I had a smoothie earlier and some cookie samples! I'm on a diet....got to use some self-control! Definitely recommend and Definitely will venture back again...if at least for another sample of a different flavor of sorbet! read more

Wow! This is the sweet shop of all sweet tooth lovers dreams! It has everything you could need in more. We fell in love with their world famous pralines and went home with over a pound of them. We also had ice cream. I got the blue moon (fruit loop) in a waffle cone. It was a one of a kind experience. My friend had coconut gelato and loved hers. We loved watching things be made while there too. It was a super cool experience unlike any other. The store was colorful and filled from side to side with sweets galore. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful experience for sure! read more

Wow! The sweet smell fills the air as you walk by. It lured us to come right in and look around. Friendly and helpful staff. They offered us fresh samples of the pralines which were rich and sweet. They have an amazing selection of freshly made fudge and chocolates. I also appreciate the variety of white chocolate choices they feature. It is very decadent. They also have a lot of classic and bulk choices as well as ice cream. It is a one stop sweet shop. We left with several pieces of fudge. They have a small deal the more you buy. I would highly recommend this place is you have a sweet tooth. read more

Some very friendly staff. Right on River Street to right of Hyatt and City Hall. Bought crunchy Peanut Brittle $10 for 14oz, good but a bit too sweet for me. Tried a hot FRESH chocolate praline - oh so good. Taffy $14 per pound. Will FedEx candy anywhere. read more

We liked this place. Another post I needed to let my hubs author because he's enjoying this trip too! "To be honest, we weren't completely sure what pralines are. So, for purely educational purposes, we went into River Street Sweets. The people who worked there were kind, and the place had sweets made in house, popcorn, ice cream, and lots more. So many tasty things, and we paid about $16 for 0.75 lbs of praline and a bag of specialty popcorn. It was all so tasty that my next check in will be with my dentist if I keep going here. Suuuuugaaaaaarrrrrrr." read more

Nice place to go by the river. You can go in and take pictures. There's a bunch of sweets, ice cream, and popcorn! It's a nice place experience! You don't even have to buy anything, you can just go in, take pictures, and even try out some ice cream or gelato. Their pralines are my favorite and when I went, they were having a sale! The workers were fast too. read more

As a surprise coming back from a trip from Savannah Georgia my boyfriend brought home some Bear Claws and Pralines for me to try for the first time from River Street Sweets since I was unable to go on this trip with him! Needless to say I fell in love with them and have been craving them ever since! Fast forward a couple months and today I was finally able to come experience River Street Sweets personally with him! This sweets shop is a candy and chocolate lovers dream! Walking through those big doors made you feel like you were being transported back in time... It's every kids dream candy store. I'm a big chocolate lover and I was overwhelmed trying to pick a section to start at to see everything they had to offer! We ordered the Rocky Road Bark to try and it was delicious! We were so excited to try it I didn't get to take a picture of it I completely forgot it had milk and white chocolate marshmallows, almonds. We then ordered Bear Claws to take home with us because other than trying another new sweet treat I was on a mission to bring Bear Claws back home to Miami with me To our surprise they had a special going if you spent around $25.99 or more on Pralines you got a 1/2 lb of Pralines free! We were pleasantly surprised with this deal and we cant wait to get home and have some Bear Claws! If you are in Savannah and have the time, definitely go see River Street Sweets it's a MUST! read more

River street sweets is full of delicacies. Love the pralines. Had to buy some after them handing me a sample as I walked in! They have ice cream here too. I was also given a sample of caramel corn. Everyone is friendly. A fun stop!! Watch them make the pralines, popcorns, taffy, etc! read more

Of course I had to get some pralines in Savannah. They are always so yummy. I was shocked how much they were - they had a deal for a pound of pralines and get half free but I still paid $30, also not sure if what I got was truly a pound and half (seemed a little light for that) but still so yummy. read more

It's always a treat to visit River Street Sweets! I lived in Savannah, GA for almost two years when I was in college and loved visiting River Street Sweets, usually get to a sample of their famous pralines. That sweet smell is irresistible! We stayed on River Street in September, and of course, had to make a stop at this candy store. Not much has changed. It looks just like it did many years ago and still offers the same delicious treats. Can't resist their pralines, so we got that and some taffy -- another crowd favorite -- to bring back to our son. River Street Sweets is a must when in Savannah! At the very least, come in and get a sample of their pralines. They offer them all day! read more

For someone with a sweet tooth like mine, a visit to River Street Sweets is truly a sugary paradise. The moment I stepped inside, I was drowned in the sweet smell of freshly made candies, and my eyes were dazzled by the colorful array of confections displayed in every corner of the store. With so many choices, it was a delightful challenge to decide which treats to indulge in. I found myself tempted to buy each and every kind. In the end, I bought a box filled with their world-famous pralines and their rich, creamy fudge. Service was friendly and accommodating. If you find yourself in Savannah, don't miss the chance to taste the Southern sweets they have to offer at River Street Sweets. read more

I was visiting Savannah and stumbled upon this place on River Street. The pralines looked great so I decided to try one - and it did not disappoint! I got the cashew praline and it was delicious. They have many other sweet treat offerings and I bet everything else is just as good. The smell as soon as you walk in hits you immediately, nothing better! Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Excellent!!! Praline ice cream hits! Butter pecan was great. Everything looked awesome. Will be back.

I was very disappointed by an interaction I witnessed outside River Street Sweets on New Year's Eve in Savannah. While standing nearby, I observed an employee aggressively arguing with two women who were navigating the crowded sidewalk with a baby in a stroller. The women simply made a polite comment asking him to be mindful of the stroller, as he was carrying two large high chairs that appeared difficult to see around. What seemed like a reasonable and courteous heads-up was met with unnecessary hostility. The employee responded by raising his voice, using profanity, and repeatedly calling the women "bitches," all in front of children and other passersby. The confrontation continued for several minutes outside the storefront, creating an uncomfortable and inappropriate scene. Regardless of the circumstances, this type of language and behavior -- especially in front of a baby and other families -- is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the business. Savannah is known for its hospitality, and this interaction fell far short of that standard. I hope management addresses this, as no customer or bystander should be subjected to such conduct read more

I waited 15 minutes in line and when i got to the front the cashier informed me that she was leaving and I needed to get in the other line. I waited in the new line for 10 minutes and when I got to the front, the other cashier moved to a new machine (and a new line) without saying a word to me. I was never able to get what I came in for. I feel as if i was discriminated against for some reason. Also, I was looking to purchase something on a stick so it didn't affect me directly, but all of the girls were handling money with the same gloves they were picking up candy with. They didn't bother changing them at all. Disgusting food hazard. read more

The best bear claws and fudge. People are very nice, you get a few free pralines with a purchase of $$$ or more!

My first time at River Street Sweets and what a delicious experience. Wall to wall and floor to ceiling treats. A true Candy land. And yes I was like a kid in a candy store. Lol But you just have to try the pralines. Weather it's cover in dark chocolate or milk chocolate it don't matter. I know this because I bought both and both were equally fantastic. Hands down the best Pralines I've ever had. The only glitch was that the check out person seemed a little confused about which customer was next in line. She kept taking different people in no particular order and was having trouble working the "cash register" (Is that even a term anymore?) lol. But it was still a wonderful experience. I went back the next day. So it had to be good. read more

If I were just to review the praline it would be a 5 star review. But... I called customer service today and had the misfortune of reaching a totally disinterested 'customer service' person named Kim. I needed to change the shipping date from today to next week for a valid reason. Kim was just all boredom and gloom with a not interested in helping me attitude. I spoke to her 3.5 hrs ago and I'm still waiting for an update phone call from her. How difficult would it have been to get up, grab a box and change a date? Kim What / How will you ever handle a real crisis? Is your laziness due to my request not being in your 'job description'? Well, please let your boss know, I'm sure they'd be interested in discussing it with you. Given my experience, I'm not sure why there is even a customer service line. read more

Tried the Pralines and had to go back to get a box. They were delicious and not too crunchy

Walking in this candy shop had a lot of options. It was clean and people seemed pleasant and smiles. They also have a lot of candy that you don't see anymore. Lots of candies from 20 or even 30-40 years ago and only see at specialty places occasionally. There was only 1 negative and that was that I picked up one container of a candy I was reminiscing about and it was expired. I looked at others and I didn't see any others like that but it did make me question how often the supplies are being turned over. In all it was a fun place to look through. read more

This is a must do for me when in Savannah - love my pralines! I love that you can get a free sample when you walk in, and they have a huge variety of sweets including taffy. The sugar here is not cheap, but it's special. I usually grab at least a few pralines for the road and sometimes more. It's fun to watch them make the taffy, very interesting to see. Today they had a special where you buy 1 lb of pralines and get a 1/2 lb free so that was nice. The staff is friendly and you can usually get in and out pretty quickly. read more
