- NCNatalia Velandia Congote4 days ago5.0This is a must go spot in Savannah! We love to stop here every time we are in town. Absolutely delicious, fresh and a lot of options to try. The best of the best pralines in the world!!!!!
- MMMyLife84Dec 31, 20251.0Highly disappointed with my online order. I feel like I was ripped off. I ordered the assorted holiday tray for $48. The items were much smaller than what they appeared in the pictures. Did not even taste good. The pralines just tasted like cheap, chalky sugar. I don't understand the hype over these things. That's what I get for taking a chance on a business that I have never even heard of. I will never order anything from here again!
- DCDavid CeballosDec 28, 20251.0On Saturday, December 27th, at approximately 10:06 PM, I had a deeply unpleasant experience at River Street Sweets, located at 13 E River St, Savannah, GA. Initially, a female employee offered us two or three samples but then left, seemingly unwilling to continue serving us, and directed a younger male employee to assist. The male employee immediately displayed a negative attitude, stating we had received enough samples. This abrupt refusal and impatience caused my discomfort. After I placed the spoon on the counter, he reacted aggressively. As we were leaving, with my friend behind me, the male employee flicked the spoon with his fingers, causing it to hit my friend’s jacket. This can surely be verified by the store’s cameras. I consider this an unjustified act. Due to the poor treatment, we left without purchasing ice cream and went to another store. Worst experience ever.
- RIRio IndioDec 26, 20251.0Me and my family are 14 are here visiting Savannah And came here for ice cream. Everybody wanted ice cream, but to be honest, the ice cream was real bad more than half of us, ended up, throwing it away and not eating much of it. I don’t know about the ice cream is not good
- NENick EdDec 24, 20255.0The Sweetest Stop in Savannah If you ever get a chance to go here and grab some sweets, do! The treats are so fresh and literally melt in your mouth. Whether it’s the world-famous pralines being scooped right in front of you or the incredible chocolate-covered bear claws, you can tell everything is made with care. Beyond just grabbing a treat for yourself, they also offer great baskets for gifting. They are beautifully put together and make the perfect present for birthdays, holidays, or a "thank you" for anyone who loves high-quality Southern candy. Between the incredible smells, the friendly staff, and the amazing gift options, it is a must-visit every time you’re on River Street! Why their gift baskets stand out: Freshness Guaranteed: Even when shipped, they use special packaging to make sure the treats arrive tasting just as fresh as they do in the shop. The Variety: They mix and match their best-sellers so the recipient gets a "best of" experience. Presentation: They use iconic red-and-white branding that looks classic and upscale.
