Randomly stopped by on a road trip and had a great experience! The staff member immediately greeted us and told us all about the candies and how they are made in house. She told us her favorite items in store and helped us pick out bags that had the most of our favorite flavors.
The store itself is very clean and neatly organized. I appreciate how there were some savory options of treats too. It was nice to see them stock local popcorn. The staff member also gave us some fun ideas on how we can top the popcorn, such as using the freeze dried candy corn as a topper which melts onto the popcorn. The dried fruits were so yummy! The freshest and tastiest array of freeze dried items I’ve ever had!
This is a must stop at shop!

I was walking by the River City Sweets and the smell was amazing. Cinnamon and vanilla were what I noticed. I wandered in to see what smelled so good. I’m glad I did.
When I walked in I was greeted by a woman who was very friendly. We talked a bit and she even gave me a free sample of some of the freeze-dried candy.
The place is beautiful, clean and bright, blue and white. They have a big assortment of different candies. Many that I remember as a child. A huge assortment of freeze-dried candy. But what caught my sweet tooth that day was the ice cream.
They have real ice cream and it is absolutely delicious. There are many flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. I got a double scoop, two different types, I was not disappointed.
I’m certain I will be stopping here again. I highly suggest if you get to downtown Prescott you stop as well. I certainly was not disappointed and I’m certain you will not be either. They have a sweet for everybody. Hard or soft, chewy or crunchy, sweet or sour, they have a little bit of everything.

Brian from River City Sweets was at the Red Wing Art Festival with a bunch of awesome options for freeze dried candies. From freeze dried gummy bears, freeze dried taffy, and many more. I’m not much of a candy person myself, but Brian has surprised me with how much I actually enjoyed the freeze dried candies. I will absolutely make a stop by Prescott again on the way to the cities.

I usually don’t do reviews because I don’t see why but I LOVE this shop. As a really big Sanrio fan, they have perfect Sanrio stuff for a really good price. Also as a therian and me public gearing and going in there to be being welcomed and told that our tails and mask are really cute and we should wear them next time is really good to hear since therians get really hated. Also the ice cream is REALLY GOOD! But I wish they had unicorn flavor because that’s my favorite. Anyways go to this shop because it’s a really decent place to go to if you’re not planning to spend $200! It’s really nice!
