This place is absolutely incredible! The moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into a kid’s dream candy shop — jars and displays packed with a huge variety of candy everywhere you look. It’s colorful, playful, and honestly just as exciting for adults as it is for kids.

But the real star is the homemade ice cream. You can immediately tell it’s the real deal — unbelievably creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. Our family tried several and every single one was amazing. The Kahlúa had the perfect bold coffee flavor, the Baileys was smooth and indulgent like a frozen dessert cocktail, the banana pudding tasted exactly like the classic southern dessert in ice cream form, and the toffee was rich, buttery, and full of delicious crunchy bits.

And don’t even get me started on the homemade chocolates — absolutely delicious and clearly made with care.
Take some home for later!

Another thing that really stood out was the spotless cleanliness of the entire shop. The equipment, counters, and displays literally shine from how clean everything is.

Between the incredible ice cream, the handcrafted chocolates, and the massive selection of candy, this place is truly a kid’s paradise and a sweet tooth’s dream. It’s fun, nostalgic, and the kind of shop that instantly puts a smile on everyone’s face.

We had such a great family experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you love amazing ice cream and a playful candy shop atmosphere!

What a great place!
The owners were so friendly and welcoming. The cutest shop with a large variety of treats other than ice cream. And the ice cream had so many unique and yummy flavors.
We will definitely be back ☺️

Stop there yesterday with the granddaughter had an amazing experience. What a value for an outstanding product. We look forward to coming back.n Quite often, hopefully they’ll pick up some ice cream for our little 4 legged friends that would be fun too cause we’d love to bring them along, to have them some enjoy that, what a great value, what a joy to have in the neighborhood. Look forward getting fat from your stuff

I recently visited Pecan Jacks Ice Cream & Candy Kitchen, and it was absolutely amazing! This family-run ice cream parlor truly makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The welcoming vibe, friendly staff, and that cozy, nostalgic atmosphere instantly put everyone at ease—perfect for a family treat or a quick indulgence.

The selection of flavors is out of this world. They offer an impressive range of handcrafted, small-batch options, including unique and seasonal ones (some even infused with adult beverages for the grown-ups!). After eyeing everything, I settled on the Peanut Butter Blast, and oh man, it did not disappoint. Creamy, rich, packed with that perfect peanut butter punch—it’s now officially my go-to flavor whenever I return. I couldn’t resist sneaking a taste of my daughter’s Oreo Vanilla ice cream too, and it was just as delicious—super fresh and loaded with real Oreo pieces.Everything tastes so fresh and homemade, which really sets this place apart. Whether you’re craving classic scoops, creative mixes, or even some of their famous Southern pralines and candies from the kitchen, Pecan Jacks delivers pure joy in every bite.

Highly recommend—Pecan Jacks is the real deal!

I can’t say enough great things about Pecan Jacks! The ice cream is absolutely amazing with so many unique and delicious flavors! Everything we sampled was fabulous! Their specialty candies are just as impressive, making it feel like a true old-fashioned candy shop experience but with a modern twist!

What really sets this place apart is the fabulous customer service. The team was so welcoming and friendly, and the owners are genuinely great people who care about the community and their customers.

This is the perfect addition to the area and exactly what we needed in Lakewood Ranch. Best ice cream shop hands down! Whether you’re stopping in for a treat with family or picking up something special, they never disappoint!

I had such a great experience! The family was so nice and the ice cream is soooo yummy. My husband and I had the boozy ice cream (Baileys salted caramel and chocolate whiskey) and we really enjoyed it. Honestly, I think it was the first time I ever had boozy ice cream and it did not disappoint! My daughter had the birthday cake and she said she liked it a lot especially the eye candy that was on there. The shop itself looks really nice and I love the pelican stuffed animals I thought it was a cute tough. We are definitely going to go back and try more flavors and the treats behind the case. ☺️

We were looking forward to them opening and they didn’t disappoint! The owners and family were so friendly that we got a taste of just about every flavor of ice cream and their brittles. It was all so good it was hard to pick but we finally decided on 2 of the boozey flavors and 2 regular, they even had a pup cup so everyone got a tasty treat. We will definitely be going back, 10/10 recommend.
