Zeno’s Boardwalk Sweet Shop

Zeno’s Boardwalk Sweet Shop Zeno’s Boardwalk Sweet Shop has a fabulous backstory behind that giant taffy puller in the window. This sweet shop came about thanks to a Greek immigrant who left Thessoliniki and made his way to Daytona Beach. He opened up this confectionary in 1948 along the entrance to the Main St Pier and passed it on to his nephew, Zeno, who took over at age 21 and has since passed it on to his son. Their chocolates come from homemade recipes, handed down through the family; they make their own fudge and delectable candy creations, including the tasty caterpillar—several marshmallows poked on a skewer and swirled in caramel—and pecan balls. They also make their own ice cream, and are now wholesaling it to others—including Angell & Phelps. Flavors tempt just by name, with cake batter, caramel caribou, mud pie, and death by chocolate in the freezer when we visited. Trust me, you cannot leave this shop with succumbing to your sweet tooth. Zeno’s Boardwalk Sweet Shop 38 S Atlantic Ave, Daytona Beach, FL 386-253-4563 www.zenoscandy.com
