I had been taking a walk though the rosemary beach area when we stumbled upon this candy store and decided to walk in for fun. After seeing the minimum card payment needed to be $10 we walked around and grabbed some candy that caught our eye and proceeded to the cashier counter and saw our total: $24! We purchased 3 cowtales, two cartons of gator eggs, and a little bag of gold nugget bubblegum. Photo attached of the haul. Absolutely not worth the money. I feel bamboozled. read more

Wry crowded. It's a small place, fence the name Sugar shak. We did get our ice cream and snow one very quickly. Service was ok. Just super crowded in such a small space.! read more

Somehow 3 ice creams and 3 pieces of candy was 60 dollars. Did the math and that means each candy piece was $12.... Obviously wasn't marked in the store. Maybe I'm the fool but don't waste your money. read more

Really wasn't impressed. Some friends rave about this place but I found it to be very expensive for the candy. They were sold out of so many sizes and styles of shirts I gave up even looking for one I'd like to buy. I did get some candy and there's no prices on anything so there was sticker shock big time at checkout but the store was so crowded I just wanted out and paid for it anyways. If there's a candy bar you can't find and miss it might be worth checking this place out. If it's really quiet and you want ice cream it was a generous portion. They serve Edy's so it's good but nothing special. But if it's crowded forget it. read more

The Sugar Shak - Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rosemary Beach, Florida

Great selection and customer service. Unique candy store that the whole family enjoys

This spot is okay if you're in the area and looking for a quick sweet treat. The inside is pretty tight and got extremely crowded (the line was out the door) however going through the line was a fun & entertaining experience because you get to look at all the cool candy options you can buy and they have some pretty cool merchandise as well. The Ice Cream was okay, nothing out of this world. Consider coming here more for the experience, candy, and great service. When it comes to pricing, Ice Cream is reasonable. However, the merchandise, although very cute, was very overpriced. $40 for a T-Shirt and if you're getting an XL or higher, be prepared to pay an extra $3 fee (Which is not okay!!!) read more

Great candy and ice cream shop! Came here twice during our week in 30A! One of the few ice cream places that's open later. And they had like 20-30 ice cream flavors that are gluten free for my son who has celiac. Friendly staff too! Will be back for sure! read more

This place has truly gone downhill. They may try to blame inflation but I blame lazy employees and ghetto infrastructure. We ordered a gummy snake and we got home and it is rock solid like I hit it on the concrete driveway and the concrete cracked also in the store they have very many options but they are all extremely expensive. Also, when you go in the store, there is candy just thrown all across the floor to the point where it's hard to walk. Also, you have to spend a minimum of $10 on credit cards. The employee was slightly nice but overall I hated this experience and do not wish this upon anyone read more

It was crazy crowded, but everyone has a sweet tooth. You can grab any candy you want, but beware of the long line. I feel like the candy was a little expensive, but then again, it's a tourist spot. The lady working up front told us that we could've lined up to the cashier since people were in line for the malts and shakes. We didn't know that, but I'll keep that in mind for next time. Don't forget to bring in cash since the minimum is 10 dollars for the card. I was lucky to carry cash despite a year in a pandemic, but just to give a heads up in case anyone doesn't want to spend extra money to hit the minimum. read more

Goated AF, come there every year when I visit Florida when I die bury me here. I will return on Saturday sugar shack staff, don't worry.

If you need a sugar fix then this is your place. It's located on the main strip in Rosemary Beach and offers a lot of candy. The prices are abhorrent and the quality of the candy, ice cream and shakes are only "so-so" but I still visit the place every time I visit this tourist community. Maybe I'm a repeat customer because the candy is colorful or the long lines make me want what others want. Whatever the reason, myself and others find ourselves wanting sugar and this is one of the few places to get it. read more

They have amazing customer service. I had the best time. They are there to serve you and your family their ice cream is delicious with 19 different flavors to choose from! I love the ambiance too! 10/10! They are a family owned business which I love and seeing their children working is just so genuine read more

Overpriced. $23 for two shakes plus the tip we also waited half an hour just to get them. The straws were tiny asf too so you could barely even drink the shake, like they really couldnt of invested in some wide beverage straws?... The place is dirty,tight, and cluttered, barely any room to move around the place. read more

Horrible. Over priced. For a can of soda, small bag of gummies and a small ice cream pop it was 20 dollars. Felt pressured by the screen when it asked for tips. Would NOT Recommend. read more

LOVED this cute place! It's right in the heart of Rosemary Beach, FL and it's the perfect spot for a nice treat after dinner. They have ice cream, candy, and shaved ice! We got shaved ice and it was cheap and had SO many flavors! Also the shirts are so cute! I snagged one of those too! 10/10 recommend! read more

The Sugar Shak - Shaved Ice Flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rosemary Beach, Florida

Pricey but good quality ice cream. Very crowded and lots of bins and stands full of candy that make forming a line inconvenient with other shoppers roaming about. read more

They have a good selection of candy in a nice little shop on S. Barrett Square. The service, however, is barely adequate, almost indifferent. The primary problem here is the pricing, which is incredibly aggressive. There are plenty of better places on 39-A. read more

I am a major ice cream fan - it's always my favorite dessert option. I wish that the Sugar Shak had house or locally made ice cream, as that would make it much more special. They sell Edy's ice cream, which they don't try to hide at all. The Edy's ice cream is good, but it's somewhat frustrating to know you could be buying a whole pint of it for about the same price as one cone's worth. The line for ice cream was wrapped around inside the shop and to the door. There were not very many employees working and they didn't seem to be in a big hurry to move the line along. Samples are limited to 2 per person, which I can understand given the long line. There is a $10 minimum transaction limit to be allowed to use a card, which is an inconvenience sometimes. Yummy ice cream, but could be better for sure! read more

The Sugar Shak - Dulce de leche - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rosemary Beach, Florida

In the most respect to this store its almost too much candy like overwhelming amounts of it (too cluttered and junked up its hard to even walk around I can only imagine if it got crowed #firehazard ) Maybe some people like the appeal but not for me. I got some icecream wasnt bad but really wasnt amazing either. I dont think I would come back but its in a good location to get people to come in. my friend got fudge but didnt have much to say about it "ehhh" and another one of my friends got icecream but ended up throwing the icecream and just eatting the cone because she didn't like it. Im sorry to bash the place maybe we just ordered wrong but just wasnt our place read more

This place lives up to its name. There were a ton of kids in there going nuts on sugar highs. We came in for a cool ice cream treat on a hot day. I recommend it but watch out for the crazy kids. They have some old timey candies. I saw stuff from when I was a kid. Check this place out. $10 minimum on credit cards. read more

Ice cream is sub par it's literally Edy's which you can buy from publix down the street for 1/8th of the price. The store is insanely crowded and the workers are slow and quite frankly rude. If your looking for ice cream in the area I recommend sweet Peddler or Heavenly in seaside where the ice cream is worth the price and the workers are fast. read more

Apparel is adorable. However the sugar itself, ITS MOLDY!!!!! My friend got a sleeve of powdered Krispy Kreme donuts and she ate one and thought it tasted funny. She handed them to me and ask it they we moldy and sure enough the were COVERD in mold, there was even a bug in the package. The place is packed with with old boxes and it musty and dusty. Do NOT recommend. read more

We walked down here to get ice cream, but because of the $10 minimum if you pay with card, I decided to try their fudge and buy some candy. The candy was extremely overpriced, even for normal candy that isn't that special. The ice cream was normal priced, I spent $5 on a waffle cone, which was pretty good. I got smores, raspberry cheesecake, and caramel fudge. The caramel and smores fudge was good but not spectacular, but the raspberry cheesecake fudge tasted like a block of sugar and I couldn't even finish it. It's a good place to walk and get ice cream, but i'll be keeping cash on me because there's nothing else i'm really interested in. read more

Everything's overpriced! Was charged extra for sprinkles for a kids ice cream! Ridiculous!

The line was long but I completely understand why after finishing our milkshakes! So yummy & so many flavor options to choose from! I loved reminiscing on all the childhood candy I ate and even found some I had never seen before! Such a fun experience! We will definitely be making this a stop every time we visit the area! Highly recommend! read more

It's a fun store for the kids to go in every summer and get ice cream and candy. Yesterday, we stopped in for ice cream and snow cones. A couple of our girls wanted t-shirts. T-shirts on hung on the walls with post it notes stating which sizes are sold out. Everything we asked for did not have post it notes, but we're all sold out. That's ok. But, the lady who was working was very short and rude about it when I asked her to please tell me what was in stock on Adult Small (3 shirts were only available). read more

I'm so disappointed in this place. Our kids have grown up going to this place and we look forward to taking them to the Sugar Shack each year. However, this year we let our girls go into this place by themselves with us waiting outside because they were older. The cashier pressured my 7 year old ( supervised by my oldest) into giving her the rest of her money for a "tip". Sorry, we won't be back if your taking money from kids. read more

I love this little cute ice cream joint! I've been going to this place for years and every year I go it only gets better. Staff is amazing and want your experience to be as great as the ice cream is. I got the Oreo milkshake and it was super delicious. read more

The ice cream tasted stale and the candy was old. Maybe keep less of an inventory when it's not season.

horrible service. they started counting the cash drawer 30 minutes before close despite there being a line of at least 30 people. everyone ended up leaving and the staff was rude read more

Long line. Shakes tasted like cleaning fluid. Ice cream was great in a cup. $10 minimum on credit cards. read more

This is the greatest place on earth. Greatest. The owner is the sweetest woman I have ever met. The Shack is a child's paradise, with floor to ceiling candy of any kind you can imagine and the best ice cream in the world...every kid will leave with a smile. Tucked in the tiny town of Rosemary Beach, it is the perfect cherry to top of this town's charm. read more

I spent $10 on this small sized milkshake to receive it halfway full. Ridiculous. The small amount they gave me tasted good though. read more

I know, you really want ice cream today. And you've been trapped in the beach house with the rug rats all week so you bribed them to be good by offering them a sweet, dripping cone. And with a name like Sugar Shak, how bad can it be? Trust your fellow Yelpers on this one and keep looking. Or go find a donut. Cuz even though "we're on vacay!" and the normal calibrations on cost and hassle vs quality and satisfaction don't apply, you are going to be disappointed in the low return on this investment. The lines aren't so long because people can't wait to go here; people just go here to wait. And wait. How long does it take to scoop a frikkin ice cream cone? And when it's finally your turn you're in for a surprise or two. First, the flavors are a surprise, because there's no board above to help you savor the flavor as you wait and decide what you're going to order, and all the little tub signs have been hidden by the wall of bodies in line. So when it's your turn the kids have to fan out and press their faces to the glass and agonize over their decision as if it's the first time they ever contemplated cookies n cream vs chocolate chip. And then you see the Edy's sign and realize you could have been back from the store by now with a half gallon (1.75 quarts) of this stuff for the price you're about to plop down for each of the icy little cones you're putting in your kids sweaty hands. Well that was fun. Let's go to the beach. read more

Don't bother stopping in here on your walk through Aly's Beach. There are several reasons for my degrading review of Sugar Shack compared to the ones previously given it. 1. The place is packed with tons of candy (this is cool)...but their prices are outrageous. $4 for a box of candy I saw the other day at Walmart 2 for $2?! I think not. I didn't feel like a kid in a candy store. It was more like a being a teenager in a Mercedes showroom: I wanted it, but everything was too expensive. 2. I am a huge ice cream guy. I scourge the earth in search of ice cream joints that do it right, so I was pumped when I saw that Sugar Shack sold ice cream. I walked in eagerly ready to buy some ice cream, then I see it: the labels say "Edy's". What?! They don't even make their own ice cream. Gone are the days of parlors and small shops that just resell ice cream that isn't theirs. You've gotta get with the game, and make your own items if you expect to WOW people. I mean, come on, Edy's? That's not even a good brand. It's the brand I shun when walking through the freezer section at Walmart. And then their prices for the small cups they call servings: $3.50 for a cup that might hold one scoop. I just walked straight back out. 3. As with their ice cream, none of their candy is homemade either. I was expecting a good candy shop with unique candies, fudges, etc. made by Sugar Shack, but no. They just sell the same junk you can get at the Dollar Tree. Count me out. read more

The lady working at the checkout counter was the rudest person I have ever met, she complained about us holding up the line. Although in reality she was giving my friend a pep talk about calling our elders mam and sir, my friend simply said "yes, id like it in a bag." Sugar shack owner if you are reading this please fire the blonde southern women, she seemed very unhappy about her job and that definitely showed to her customers. Besides that the place has some really fun candy that you will not find anywhere else, but over priced. read more

This ice cream and candy store is the most inefficiently run I've seen. Which is a shame, because it could be such a gem if they just ran it a little better. You stand in line to order your ice cream (which is just edy's and pricey). . .then once you get your ice cream. . . .you have to go get in another line to pay for it. By the time you pay for your ice cream its completely melted or gone. And who really wants to enjoy their ice cream in line? Nobody that's who! This was the most inefficient food service ever! Get another register. One dedicated to ice cream. . .the other for candy purchases. read more
