Walking into La King’s Confectionery in Galveston is like stepping into a time machine—one that runs on sugar, smiles, and pure childhood joy. From the moment you hear the clink of old-fashioned soda shop glasses and smell that warm cloud of freshly made saltwater taffy, you know you’re in for something special.I’ve been coming to La King’s for years, and every visit feels like a sweet reunion. The place is brimming with vintage charm—glass jars full of colorful candy, antique signs, and that magical sound of taffy being pulled and cut right in front of your eyes. It’s part candy shop, part nostalgia museum, and part theater.Whether you're grabbing a handmade root beer float, picking out classic candies you forgot even existed, or watching the candy-makers whip up batches of fudge and taffy like edible magic, there’s something for everyone. Kids run around wide-eyed, and let’s be honest, the adults do too—we just hide it better.It’s not just a treat shop, it’s a Galveston tradition. So if you haven’t been in a while, do yourself a favor and stop by. Let the sugar rush and sweet memories carry you away. La King’s isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling.

Definitely recommend to check out while you're in the area. Be sure to be prepared to pay for parking using a credit/debit card but it was only $2.25 for an hour so that's a great price point. Neat location especially if you are in the area when the nearby cruise ships are docked. The selection of items is amazing to say the least. From fresh popped popcorn, gummies, hard & soft chewy candies, chocolates, fudge, saltwater taffy made fresh in store with free samples, shakes/malts, ice cream, and even some novelty items, and much much more, you'll easily drop $100 in one visit if you're like myself and live 4 hours away. Take some back home to share with your friends & family. Enjoy it that much but don't live nearby? They also offer shipping through their online website. The chocolate shake was pretty darn good, I must say. We chose so many different items though.

Went every day I was in townThe ice cream by the scoop is very generous. Everything was delicious! Had a fabulous root beer float, a tremendous banana split and a terrific butterscotch sundae. The store is full of candy including chocolates, Taffy, and much more. The bathroom is also nice and open to the public which is rare in the area

Old-school ice cream, soda fountain, and candy shop with vintage vibes and charm right on the Victorian Strand. Easily accessible and an essential stop if you're visiting the area!The root beer float is imprinted in my food memory as the quintessential version of the dessert. Dr. Pepper, coke, and root beer are made the old-fashioned way with syrup and carbonated water stirred quickly with a long silver spoon. The float includes a generous scoop of stretchy homemade vanilla ice cream.Employees give excellent recommendations on candies, especially taffies, which are made in-house. Hard not leave here happily without a sugar high! Restrooms are also clean.
