    Zeno's Boardwalk Sweet Shop is a place that I have come to time and time again when I am in St augustine, on St George Street and I continuously forget to write reviews for it until today! Walking in the staff was very friendly and told my party that we could each try a couple of different pieces of Laffy Taffy figure out what we like the most! I decided to try the eggnog flavor and it was very nice! After trying a sample I decided to get a handful of different flavors and nibbled them while I walked on St George street. The Candy Corn Taffy was decent, but it did not have that much flavor in my opinion. The consistency of it was very tasty however so I was glad to try it. I also got one that was pickle flavored and this one was absolutely flavorless so I was a little upset about that. Another one that I got was beer flavored and you could taste it with just the right amount of flavoring. The prices are very decent and charging by the weight, you can get a nice amount in your bag without breaking the bank. The place was very nicely lit and super clean and I loved how one of the walls, in its entirety, was filled with easily over 50 different flavors of saltwater taffy! I felt like a true kid in a candy store!

    This shop is located on St George's Street in St Augustine Florida. There is a old fashioned metal taffy pulling machine in the window. When you go inside the shop is all colorful and bright, very cheerful The staff is so friendly! The staff said I could sample every flavor of taffy they had, no charge...FREE SAMPLES!!! I sampled a few of my favorites and purchased about 20 pieces. They had well over 100 flavors to choose from. But, I just didn't have it in me to try Dill Pickle Taffy!!! But the taffy I purchased was very good, definitely would go back and definitely recommend if you're in the St Augustine

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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!!!

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.

    After eating a variety pack of jelly beans around Easter time, I found a very odd flavor that I…read moresurprisingly liked. Not caring enough to order that specific flavor directly through Jelly Belly, I told myself the next time I was near a candy store I would see if they had that flavor. Sure enough, Mix and Match Candy Shop had that flavor and I was able to buy a few ounces of it. I opened the brown paper bag and loaded up my desired flavor. I walked over to pay the hipster cashier who looked like he was still on a bender from the night before. I handed him my money and he stared at the five-dollar bill I gave him. He pulled out his counterfeit pen and tested it on the five-dollar bill. I have to say, that was the first time I have ever seen someone test a five-dollar bill. It's five dollars and I'm buying jelly beans. It was sort of funny. The place was small, not really well labeled, but I got what I wanted and that's what matters. The prices were fair and the selection was decent considering the storefront was pretty small.

    This is the most disgustingly rude and insulting treatment we've ever received…read more We've been coming to St. Augustine for family vacations for twenty straight years. Every single year we bring our adult kids, our nieces, and our nephews to the same candy store to fill a bag like we've always done. This time some miserable woman at the register decided to accuse us of sticking our hands in the bins. Nobody did. Not one person. We're all grown adults. We opened the lids to look, then used the tongs like normal people. She still insisted someone reached in, like we were a bunch of dirty little thieves. Then, out of nowhere, she announces she's closing and we have to get out. Right then. No discussion. I asked if we could at least pay for the bag of candy we had already filled. She flat-out refused. Just "No. Leave." Like we were nothing. Twenty years of loyal visits, and this is how we're treated? She couldn't even take cash for what we already had in the bag. She just stood there looking sour and watching us like every customer is either a criminal or an inconvenience she has to endure. We will never set foot in that store again as long as she's working there, or if she's the owner. Absolutely ridiculous, hostile, and completely unnecessary.

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.
