Few things are more nostalgic than old-fashioned candy shops in Texas, and La King’s Confectionary in Galveston is truly the cream of the crop. Featuring a 1920s soda fountain, fresh saltwater taffy (with live demonstrations), and more candy and ice cream than you could ever hope to encounter under one roof, this local icon is undeniably worth a visit.
For more information about La King’s Confectionary, including current hours of operation, please visit their official website or Facebook page.
