Candy Kitchen

Candy Kitchen is always one of our first stops every time we come to Redington Shores. It’s like stepping into a nostalgic time warp with all the retro candy and old-school toys. The ice cream is also delicious — perfect for a beach day treat. Highly recommend making it a must-do on your trip!

Our favorite ice cream shop! The most delicious ice cream! A great variety of candy and goodies. Super nice staff. We love it!

We arrived here on Sunday during Labor Day weekend at 9:50 PM. The shop closes at 10 PM. The line was all the way through the store, and it took us almost 40 minutes to get to the front line to get ice cream. Even though the store closes at 10, both employees continued to serve every single person that was in line.
I know the employees were tired and wanted to go home, but I was very impressed that they stayed to make sure everyone got what they needed!

We do not understand the hype of this place. Ice cream was freezer burnt, and there was no room to move inside because it was so crowded. I would have been happier with a Breyers from Publix. There also is not much parking here and no room for someone with a wheelchair if it’s crowded.

Update: The owner called us and apologized saying this is not their policy at all they are to serve all products till closing and that she was sorry for the employees telling us that. We revisited a week later and Lilly, I believe her name is, has been working here a while and she also apologized for the service and she said it was her day off and that would have never happened if she was working. The owner said she’s going to be talking with staff to make sure this does not happen again. Overall this place is great for old school styles of candy and great ice cream. Just need to make sure the people running the place is doing so in a manner they are supposed to.

We have been coming here for years. They close at 10 we get in line inside at 9:40. Wait in line till 10:16 and was told while we were at the counter next to be served that they are not doing anymore shakes and we were the last people to be served. Never mentioned this to anyone during the 30 minute wait in line until the last people step up to be served.

We have spent I would assume thousands here with a family of 14-16 coming 9-10 times per 2 week vacation trip. I won’t be spending another dollar in here. This place was so much better customer service when Brad owned it. They actually cared about their customers that keep their doors open and business running.
