THE BEST SPOT IN CONEY ISLAND!! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Every time I come, I feel like a valued customer. You can tell they genuinely care about both their service and the people who walk through the door. Not only that, but the cleanliness of the space really stood out to me when I first came in. I’ve come on different days at different times and the store is always tidy. It’s clear they take pride in maintaining a spotless and well-organized environment, which makes a big difference when buying food. I can confidently say I’d eat anything off the counter 🤣! and of course, their treats are delicious as well!! Without fail, their candy apples are always fresh, beautifully made and packed with flavor! This spot really goes above and beyond. Not only do they have quality treats, but their customer service as well as their cleanliness, makes this spot stand out. They hit the mark with everything. It’s rare to see spots like this left. Will ALWAYS recommend this spot to everyone I know!!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! Their candy apples with coconut are the delicious. I don’t know how they make their apples but I literally have an obsession with them. I feel like a pregnant lady with cravings and I’m not even pregnant 🤣🤣! The girls working inside are always friendly and ready to take your order. Place is clean. Will definitely come back for the 50th time 🤣🤣

What can I say, amazing amazing amazing. The candy apples are always crisp and fresh, the ice cream is always creamy, and their milkshakes are always thick. The girls working the counter are sweet like their candy inside. Must come here if you come to Coney Island.

Williams Candy Shop is a classic Coney Island spot that brings back a real sense of nostalgia. They’ve got a huge selection of treats — from Italian ices to fresh cotton candy, candy apples, and rows of different candies that make it hard to choose. Everything feels fun, colorful, and full of that old-school boardwalk charm. It’s only a short walk from the beach and the train station, so it’s the perfect stop before or after spending time on the boardwalk. A real neighborhood gem that keeps the tradition of sweet shops alive in Brooklyn.
