    The ice cream space
    Carson H.

    Outside seating was creative, sort of long line but you can't help that. The indoor was cool with a nice breeze. The names everywhere made it seem popular. The pez on the counter was cool. Lots of candies for sale. I got the orange pineapple one scoop waffle cone, it was very rich, creamy and smooth. And the waffle cone was very good. The workers were very hard at work and seemed to love their job. Very good. Definitely recommend.

    The original candy kitchen is back after the hurricanes, yay! We haven't been out to the beaches since before the October storms and decided to go for a ride and visit some local businesses. While it is a little different, because they did have to clean up, they still carry retro candy, fudge, ice cream and a bunch of wacky sodas and Asian candy. Stop by for a visit and a treat!

    I always find myself visiting this store when I'm in the area can't help myself I do have a sweet tooth and they have so much nostalgic candy, trinket, toys and things in there. And the ice cream is sooooo yummy! The building is tiny, but it leaves a "HUGE" impression on your heart. The inventory is nothing short of "SPECTACULAR ! My family and I love this place! I highly recommend the shop, and I will definitely return when I'm in the area!

    We went this evening to the Candy Kitchen It's a little candy shop/ice cream joint in Madeira Beach It's tiny in size so not much room to have multiple customers .... It's got a ton of candy and chocolates from my past and some newer ones They have some neat little toys from Care Bears to some Funko pops of the past The highlight is the ice cream When you ask for a single scoop.....well let's just saw it's more like a double No complaints here My wife had a single cup of cookies and cream I had mocha chocolate chip Only thing is that it melted fast in the evening heat but it tasted great Staff there was friendly and cool Great lil spot for sweets and ice cream

    Y'all. The Candy Kitchen is a South Pinellas County treasure. I don't know when it originally came to be but it's OLD. And still worth a visit. Our kids were BLOWN away by the selection and my husband had a blast getting Jelly Beans. The staff were two very friendly young girls who joked with us about the things adults choose versus kids. What a selection guys. I mean ice cream, candy, Chocolate, gum, very nostalgic and gave me all the feels about childhood. Get into The Candy Kitchen so you don't regret missing out!!!!

    Stopped in for a sweet treat after dinner. They have icecream, fudge, and an assortment of candies! This place was established in 1950 and is a cute spot. It is not big, but you'll definitely find what you are craving.

    Leaving the Candy Kitchen w/ kids candy and an adult treat! Thank you, Candy Kitchen! We love you!

    Candy kitchen has quenched our family's candy cravings for 25 years and look what I was given today!

    Such a cool little nostalgic place! Lots of things to look at and purchase if you wanted. They have ice cream and shakes. Lots of fun flavors! There is a small lot for parking. They take cash and card.

    A cute little place that has all sorts of candy selection. I haven't seen some of these varieties in years! They also have fudge and taffy. Checking out, the owner had one of his kids ring up my items but the process was super slow. Perhaps he could have helped him a bit instead of letting him go it alone.

    The candy kitchen is one of those places that has just always been there for as long as you can remember. This place is a very small hole in the wall that, if you're driving and you blink, you'll miss it. There is very limited parking so be ready to look around if you can't find any in the lot! The interior of this place is really cool and themed with the copious amounts of old candy, that it'll make you forget you're in 2019. The prices for the candy here are ridiculously reasonable and they even offer bulk candy and candy by the pound. The ice cream is the best thing about this place though, I got the strawberry oreo ice cream and it was delicious! It was the perfect amount of creamy and for $4 the amount you get is insane! They have many different flavors such as butter pecan and coffee&doughnuts so be ready to have choices! It is a very small place with MAYBE 7-8 people being able to be inside at one time. Friendly staff and great prices!

    Rocky road and Mocha chip! Double scoop. Yum!!!

    See all

    Fun vibe, good options, fair prices. Would recommend popping in if nearby - not worth a trip out of your way.
