The two girls working behind the candy counter today (9/23) were AMAZING! They were so kind and patient, answered every question I had, and directed me right to exactly what I was looking for! They honestly made our day so much better. It’s not often that you have a customer service experience that leaves you walking out happier than you walked in, but they absolutely did that for us. Excellent customer service and easily the best candy shop I’ve been to in Galveston...read full review
It’s great to see a place where you can step back to a more simple time. Watching taffy work on a 100 year old machine is just so satisfying to watch.

La King's Confectionery is a historic candy shop and soda fountain that has been a Galveston staple for generations. This old-time drug store offers a wide variety of treats, including saltwater taffy, chocolate, fudge, bonbons, and unique items like shark gummies, chocolate-covered potato chips, and crab-shaped chocolates. Visitors can enjoy ice cream and floats in the air-conditioned comfort of this antique-decorated shop, where prices may be a bit steep, but the experience is well worth it. The store is also famous for its milkshakes and banana splits, providing a truly old-fashioned candy store experience. The Taffy pulling shows are very cool and add to the nostalgic atmosphere. Customers appreciate the generous ice cream scoops, delicious sundaes like root beer floats, butterscotch, and banana splits. The shop is packed with candies, chocolates, and more, and features a clean, open bathroom for visitors. The dark chocolate orange peels and taffy are highly recommended, and the coffee, especially the mocha amore latte, is also a favorite among guests.
