River Street Sweets

"I recently had the pleasure of visiting River Street Sweets in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and it was a delightful experience. The turtles are an absolute must-try – each bite is a perfect balance of caramel, pecans, and chocolate. I also recommend the Irish Potato. Beyond all the delicious treats they offer, what truly stood out was the warmth and kindness of the owner, Robin. Her passion for sweets and dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere make the whole experience even sweeter. River Street Sweets is not just a place for exceptional treats; it's a testament to the incredible impact a person like Robin can have on a community. This business radiates positivity, making it a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth and an appreciation for genuine hospitality."

"I've been coming to Asbury Park for the last 15 years for the zombie walk. This past Friday I stopped with my boyfriend and we chatted with a really cool guy there. Not sure of his name but he has some anime and video game tattoos. He was so amazing! Super friendly and had the nicest things to say. We came back on Sunday with friends and bought more goodies to take home. If you haven't stopped here, put it on your list and make sure to go! It's definitely worth it!"

"Place isn’t cheap but they do have some good treats. The homemade white chocolate peanut butter cup were my favorite. The ice cream also hits the spot. I did almost lose a tooth on the chocolate covered marshmellow. It had to be sitting there for a while. The M&M peanut butter cup was also lovely. I like the chocolates in here aside from the one off marshellow treat. Check this spot out! 3.5 stars."

"I stopped by this place for the first time today after seeing them featured at the end of a Barstool Sports Pizza Review. This candy store is utterly fantastic. It has such a great variety of anything you are looking for, whether it is popcorn, pralines, taffy, caramels, etc. The staff is friendly and attentive and all the chocolates I bought were fresh and delicious. It can seem a bit costly, but it is so worth it since everything is homemade. I will definitely stop by again the next time I drive through the area."

"This is such a lovely store started by wonderful people. They have a huge selection of candies and make tasty in-house conditions. Their gelato is excellent though expect to pay the tourist tax on it. The older lady who runs a part of the store (owner?) was just grandmotherly endearing to my son. He was elated coming out of the store and said her interaction was the highlight of his evening."
