  We visited this past Saturday and the pralines and bear claws were absolutely perfect! Everyone was very nice and helpful. Will definitely return.

  After completing the Swamp Rabbit trail in Greenville South Carolina, my family and I decided to explore downtown Greenville walking the lively streets. I was in the mood for some homemade soft-serve ice cream. To our surprise we stumbled upon River Streets Sweets– an homemade candy and ice cream confectionery located in the heart of downtown Greenville. I was in Oh, with the desserts they had ranging from candy, fudge, chocolate covered apples, soft-serve ice cream, popcorn, nuts, chocolate covered pretzels/marshmallows, and so much more. Thankfully my family was there because I would have bought everything–it’s a child's dream. At last I got the soft-serve ice cream I was craving all day. Let me tell you, the ice cream, gelato, and sorbet were truly homemade. To my surprise the prices were not as pricey considering they were in downtown Greenville. My family got two scoops in a cup costing $7.95 a single scoop is $4.95. The scoops are a decent size for the price you are paying. River Streets Sweets has some unique flavors that I have never heard of before, such as Bear Claw, Blueberry, Hazelnut Coffee Crunch, and Pink Grapefruit. They also serve Raspberry Sorbet sugar-free which is nice. My family decided to get Rocky Road and Bear Claw. The ice cream was so rich, creamy, and flavorful. It did not taste artificial like some ice creams in supermarkets. My whole family was pleased with the purchase. The staff were extremely friendly, especially the one member who was mending the ice cream section. She was so kind and energetic, letting my family sample the flavors before purchasing, which a lot of food businesses do not do. In addition, to my surprise, the store was huge, leaving plenty of space to walk around without running into other customers. The store was organized, making it easy to see all the yummy treats. There was no visible dirt or dust, the businesses looked polished.The only downfall would be the parking situation, since they are located in the heart of Greenville parking is limited. I would recommend walking and parking in a free or reduced parking area. The next time I am in downtown Greenville or around the area, I will be stopping by River Streets Sweets to indulge in some of their other sweet treats, such as their fudge and chocolate covered apples. I would recommend checking out River Streets Sweets if you are in the area.

  I love coming to River Street suites because it’s more than just dessert. It’s an entire experience and I can bring the entire family.

  Had an interesting experience last night. While everything tasted great, I was just shocked at how expensive everything was. My significant other and I are foodies, and we’re willing to spend good money on food. But correct me if I’m wrong for thinking a chocolate-covered Rice Krispies treat, two Reese’s cups, a chocolate-covered marshmallow, a bear claw, and two chocolate-covered Oreos shouldn’t cost $40 and some change. Really think about how cheap these ingredients are to dip, yet you’re being charged that much for them. With that being said, we just went on vacation to Gatlinburg this past month and found a chocolate shop called The Chocolate Monkey, where we got boxes very similar to what we bought last night—and spent half the price. I personally just don’t feel like I got my money’s worth.
