Always a great experience, delicious candy and a nice selection of ice cream flavors. Handmade sweet treats and overall, a place to visit when you’re in Galveston
Great icd cream
I had an amazing experience. I used to come as a kid all the time with my parents and get a shake and candy or popcorn. The nostalgia that hit when I walked through the door was uncanny. I enjoyed a coconut creamy frappe absolutely divine. The taffy show was spectacular! We enjoyed the candy bar and my kids had ice cream as well they said was super delicious. Can’t wait to be back on our next visit. The salt water taffy is 10/10! Must buy! Chefs kiss on customer service!...read full review

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.
