Don't fret! You can have immediate gratification! Sample and buy some taffy!
Sherri H.

I was just enjoying the stroll down St. George's Street in the historic district of St. Augustine when I happened across Zeno's. What a fun candy shop! My favorite thing to do was just watch the taffy pulling machine. As I said in the caption of my video - it's so mesmerizing and calming to watch! A trip here involves all of your senses - watching the taffy being pulled and listening when you open the wrapper of a piece, the smell of the flavor you choose, the taste and texture of the candy. Enjoy!

Holy taffy and more! This boardwalk sweets shop does not disappoint. There are more flavors than you can imagine. Free sample is a bonus, and the other candies are just as amazing.

a variety of sweets

Taffy heaven with flavors such as margaritas, Sangria, bailey's, cookies and cream, and many more. The staff is friendly and gives you 1 sample to choose. The price is by weight and you can also purchase cotton candy in various flavors as well as some soft drinks or water.

I've been searching for some delicious fudge ever since I stopped at a mom and pop store in Nashville, and no where had come close. After having a less than stellar experience at a Winter Park location we were in St. Augustine for the annual light show and thankfully stumbled upon Zeno's. As soon as you walk in your told you can pick a piece of free taffy. The amount of flavors they have are astounding. We were also told if we buy a pound for $14 we can get half a pound free. She spilt it into three flavors. Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Mint and Chocolate Peanut Butter. This ladies and gentlemen is what fudge should taste like. When you bite into it, it melts in your mouth. Than an overwhelming flavor of the fudge you picked enters your pallet and your life has been ever changed. We also got a sea salt piece of chocolate and a white chocolate truffle which were both just as addicting. We live an hour and a half from this location, but there is another one in Daytona. Yay! Also free shipping for $75 and over. If you're a chocolate lover this is MUST stop for you.

Totally 5 stars! I asked my husband if he's ever tried Salt Water Taffy and to my surprise, he hasn't. Despite it not being vegan, I wanted to go in so he could get a taste. The girl behind the counter was so friendly. She said to everyone in the store that we were entitled to one free piece of taffy for Mother's Day. There are soo many flavors you can't just choose one! The whole time she was talking to everyone about what her favorites were along with other random facts; she was definitely saleswoman of the year. We walked out with almost $30 worth of candy! There's nothing better than a great experience with little bit of sugar!

Assortment of taffy

Not your average taffy. Multitude of flavors from birthday cake to strawberry daiquiris to beer!!! You can taste a sample and you'll be hooked. Unique and tasty

This place is so cool. They have a huge variety of taffy, candy, Cotten candy and wild drinks. We bought a few different flavors of taffy and Cotten candy and I surely was not disappointed ! This place is a must try

Julie S.

Fun place to walk through. Where else can you find 103 flavors of salt water taffy, plus about 12 flavors of cotton candy. Kids big and old will love this little shop for a sweet stop!

Funkiest selection of sodas I've ever seen! This is a cute taffy shop on George Street that lures you in with the mechanical taffy pulling machine in its window. There's a large assortment of taffy flavors against the wall as well as brittles, fudge and more. If you ever wanted to know what pickle soda tastes like, you've gotta come here.

Cute paper bags

Super cute and the most delicious taffy I have ever had! You're allowed to try any flavors! I only bought a couple. I'm paying it forward!!!

Tiffany M.

Amazing chocolate pistachio bar!! Super friendly team and the store is super adorable. They have a huge selection of taffy's! I recommend anyone who stops by St. Augustine to stop here.

Loved the soda selection in the back of the store!

OMG! CANDY GALORE!!! I felt like I had gone back in time, like the 60's. I saw candy that you don't…read moresee in a typical convenience store nowadays. They had it all!!!! I bought an assortment of candy to share, and a Zero bar to share as well. WOW! I am so glad I found this place. The Cashier was just as nice, helpful and friendly as can be. On my way out, a box of Boston Baked beans caught my eye, so I will go back soon and pick some of those up. The shop is near the courtyard by the St. George Inn. It's under some of the rooms. Look for the huge Pirate.

It is actually located in the same store as Pepper Palace so we killed two birds with one stone. I read previous reviews and everyone had great contributions so that sold me. I am not sure how crazy popular St. Augustine has become in the past year or two for families but it seems like families took a really long wrong turn away from Disney and headed here. Anyway, this place is really small. I mean like maybe can fit 10 people maximum at a time. I expected unusual finds of candy and I did find some unique candy for sure! I really did not have anything specific I was looking for but was willing to spend money if I found something. Unfortunately, there were too many kids standing around like zombies and it made it really difficult to browse and shop. I was feeling too crowded so I made my way towards Pepper Palace. I intend to come back but only when there are not so many people. The selection was good but I think there could be more unique finds and a little more variety. They had bulk options, but not many. There was of course plenty of packaged candy that many of us are familiar with. There was also slushees, smoothies, and drinks behind the counter. Next time I really want to look at that.

Carnival Sweets was AMAZING! We were waiting on our driver to do the Saint Augustine Christmas…read morelights tour. We still had about an hour so we went on a walk to find some coffee. We got about halfway to where we were going and decided we weren't going to make it there and back on time. We crossed the street and turned around to head back to where we were parked. We walked up to Carnival Sweets and immediately noticed how absolutely charming the store looked. You went inside and it's such a quaint little store. We were immediately greeted by two men who were just the kindest. I purchased two honey bun cow tails for my children and then I ordered two hot chocolates and a strawberry lemonade. To receive your drinks, you go out the side door to the left, around the back. The hot chocolate with some of the most decadent that I have ever had. It was incredibly rich and very flavorful. The strawberry lemonade was also delicious. Between the cleanliness, the cutest decor, the kindest staff, and the delicious drinks, I wish I lived closer to come here more often. This is definitely an establishment that deserves your money and time.

Amazing!!! Customer service is 10/10. We got funnel cakes, ice cream, and milkshakes for my family…read more Every single thing was delicious. I wish I could add pics but I'm leaving this review the next day. I'm from Chicago and on my way home I remembered I had such a great experience I wanted to leave a review. When I come back in August I will be sure to add pictures. You won't be disappointed.

Whether…read moreit's specialty truffles, chocolate bars, coated nuts or classic chocolate seashells, you're sure to be amazed. They have fudge, popcorns, brittles & even a variety of chocolate based wine & liqueur. While the delectable scent of fresh chocolate draws you in, the loaded displays around you are sure to keep you there. They've recently undergone some renovations which are finally done & the new store looks great. The floor has really been opened up & they did a great job at utilizing the space. Everything is organized nicely, prices are listed clearly & the store itself is spotless. While it may not be the biggest, it's easy to get carried away here as you look at the deliciousness surrounding you. I haven't personally tried them yet but their hot chocolates definitely caught my eye, they offer a nice handful of varieties. Even the coffee lovers, like myself, are recognized. They have a chocolate-flavored coffee that sounds interesting so I'm thinking about grabbing a bag on my next visit. The chocolate covered espresso beans are also delicious, although I like the milk chocolate ones way more than the dark. Every time I've visited this location the employees are so friendly. They acknowledge you as soon as you enter, they almost always offer help & they're efficient at handling crowds. Customer service goes a long way & they do a great job here. If you're just passing through or staying in St. Augustine then you need to give them a visit. In a world full of mass produced chocolate, it's a breath of fresh air to find a company that cares about serving amazing products. You can even do a factory tour at this location to find out all about their process!

Well it's not as exciting as the movie, lol, but it was cool to see all the molds and cooling tables! We got to sample 4 types of chocolate while learning about the business. Afterwards we of course bought some chocolate and started digging in and man sooooo good! Small batch, years and years of experience, and highest quality ingredients have created an amazing creamy chocolate, even their super dark was good! Wish I had got more!
