Review of Sweet Pete's

Sweet Pete's
Ranked #3 of 58 Dessert in Jacksonville
Restaurant details
Reviewed 8 August 2018

Sweet Petes' is located slap dab in the middle of our 'yet to be reinvented', historic down town area. As you drive down Hogan Street, you are surrounded by tall, gray buildings and churches...all you see is gray--until you are suddenly greeted by the most whimsical, adorable house, Sweet Pete's candy store and restaurant!. The magic begins as soon as you walk up the steps to the old fashion front porch. Take a trip to Pete's and find out what wonderful treats await you (I wont spoil the experience by telling you). You will walk out feeling like a giddy child again!

We have been to sweet Pete’s in the past but somehow this time the experience lacked the excitement. They seemed to be out of a lot of candy on the second floor and the shelves were bearer than normal on past visits. The caramel candy apples also were not plentiful. The candy we purchased however was excellent! We went on a Sunday because it’s hard to park during the week. However parking spaces were hard to find due to church services in the area.

This is one of the Must-Do in Jacksonville Spots! Pete is our hometown hero, having grown up in a candy family and bring all fo the magic of Willie Wonka to the First Coast! Beautiful packaging, sweet treats, and an imaginative decor, Sweet Pete's is a delight for all ages! The classes are fun and the events are outstanding. Try the sea salt caramel and the chocolate dipped apples. Be sure and tour the factory and wave to the candy makers--They have to be the happiest people on earth! Take the kids, the spouse, your grandmother, your best friend, your significant other, your classmate, or go by yourself. You won't be disappointed!

The variety of candies were great. Loved the caramel apples but the items seemed to be a little over priced. Overall, a good experience.
