My kids love this place! We travel from Port Austin just to stop in.
Huge selection of candy and nuts! Has been open for over a century. Make sure to visit the waterfall park during your visit
If there was a way to give less than 1 star I would. Went here today for my birthday anniversary and soon as we walked in there were other patrons in the store. We were greeted and the young lady asked if she could help us with anything and her and the guy followed us all the way to the other side of the store. My partner had already replied that we were there for some ice cream. There was so much to see I begin admiring everything and kept walking throughout the syore. My partner just followed me encouraging me to pick something to remember the moment and place. He noticed they had carmel popcorn and suggested I get some. I picked that up. I noticed they had starburst straws and suggested he get that so I picked that up. The young lady asked if she could help me with anything I said Im still looking. My partner suggested I get some cashew brittle I did she helped me and then asked afterwards if she could help me with something else. I told her again Im still looking. She said well you can sit your things down on the counter. I was a bit shocked as other patrons held things in their hands. I sat the two items down anm My partner had enough. I saw him walking out and followed. Really left a bad view about this place and the people that work there.
Love the prices and treats, but cannot overlook the service unfortunately. Every time I come into the store, I don’t even have a second to look around and read what candies there are, because a worker is constantly following you around, almost pressuring you to hurry up and get out. Today, I came in with my friend, and there were around 6-8 workers huddled behind the counter and as soon as we walked in, every single one stared at us, looked at each other, and smirked in a pretentious way. Then as per usual, as soon as I get to the counter, I’m greeted with an almost robotic sounding “can I help you with anything?”. While I appreciate being serviced, the workers asked us at least 10 times. Owner or managers, please do some customer service training with these young workers.
A unique nostalgic candy shop that has been in business for a long time you can get most classic candy from here. They also make there own chocolates and other assorted sweets. If you get lucky you might even see Madonna here.
Love all the old time candies you can get here as well as all the handmade stuff.
Always nostalgic! Its one of the best candy shops in the country tied for 1st with the shop in Sacramento.However 1st in my heart always!! My grandma loved this place! My mom and my father too!Amazing quality and good variety of sweet treats! Great young folks working always!
There was a terrible smell in the store today. I realize the building is old and thats par for the course..but it was very unappetizing tonight. However, great selection and friendly staff.
Ms. Clara is from bay city Michigan, & this candy store is from my childhood. Always came to this store, best Renaissance candy store in town.
One of the biggest collections of candy and chocolates that I have seen anywhere! They have truffles, fudge, and many chocolate covered items. They have name brand candies, including some rare kinds like crazy flavor jelly beans. Friendly staff. Check this place out and you will feel like a kid in a candy shop! At least I did. I thank God for this place. Candy is Gods love made edible (in moderation of course)
Seafood candy has always been a favorite of mine so please keep it stocked its fantastic
Had to pick up the big bag of roasted peanuts in the shell. Masks still appreciated.
Huge selection! Something for everyone. Even ice cream.
We got four different kinds of chocolate covered nuts. Good stuff
Wish they had more individual candy for kids so they could.purchase different candy. Cheaper so they can buy their own. Like an old fashion penny candy store.
February 2, 2019. Hot chocolate contest was going on so we were served delicious hot chocolate with chocolate covered marshmallow. Purchased fudge and rock candy. The man who prepared our fudge purchase was friendly and kind. The lady who served hot chocolate and cashed us out was also kind and friendly. Store has many candy options in addition to the nuts. We tried the free chocolate covered nut samples and they were scrumptious. Great experience. Thank you so much❤️
I have been going here for my whole life. It is the best old style candy shop. I was raised on the peanut butter!
Fun place with great candy and staff.
They have it! Even sugar free!
Always a GOOD experience...love this store
I could of bought 1 of everything! Definitely worth stopping 👌
Always amazing. Best candy hands down. Amazing selection.
A classic store, classic candy and a really friendly staff.
Super friendly staff and best chocolates!
Always a great place for candy and nuts
Beautiful view very calming and super friendly company!!!
Very clean well-lit store nothing but friendly people helping you and the product is delicious how much better can it get! Be sure to get in there and get your sweets for the holiday season!
THIS IS AN OLD TIME CANDY AND PEANUT STORE!! THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PEANUT BUTTER THAT IS FABULOUS! BUT, MY REAL DRAW IS THE CHOCOLATE CANDY COLLECTION THAT IS THERE! IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT KIND OF CHOCOLATES YOU ENJOY, THEY HAVE IT ALL! FROM HANDMADE TRUFFLES TO COCONUT CLUSTERS AND EVERYTHING IN-BETWEEN. THE PEANUTS COME IN A HUGE VARIETY OF STYLES AND THE CASHEWS ARE TOP OF THE LINE! IF YOU TRAVEL TO BAY CITY FOR THE ANTIQUE STORES, YOU GOTTA VISIT HERE TOO!!!
I sure do wish they would deliver.....
Best service . Best candy. I called to see if they had a particular sweet for my mom for Mothers Day . The owner answered when I called. He not only fixed up a box and set it aside for me but he gift wrapped it in the most beautiful paper with a bow. He really made me look good ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My mother was thrilled.
Such a fun place to go. Wonderful selection of nuts and chocolates plus all kinds of current and retro candy. Awesome, friendly staff. Beautiful store in a fun area of town.
This old fashioned candy store is one of Bay Citys gems. Delicious treats made on site.
They followed me all around the store will not go there any more
Wonderful place with wonderful service. Always a pleasure
I love this store. Nuts, candy, and ice-cream (in the summer), what more can a person want?
Ive been going to the store since I was a little girl. I love to go there and get the old candy that we had years 40 years ago. Theyre so friendly in there and excellent selection of candy
Delicious. Very nice place.
Great staff and Candi you havent seen in years love it
Their chocolate here is so good.
Great customer service, and a huge selection of chocolates and novelty candies!!
BEST CANDY EVER!!!I absolutely love the shark gummies and chocolate covered orange peels! Highly recommend! Very friendly staff. It’s all made In MI some even in the store!
Milk Chocolate Cashew Clusters available here...also, dont go rushing the place, but Peanut Brittle is In!

Good selection of goods very unique and service is great as well
Great stuff thats affordable and not available anywhere else.....Prerty cool.
Always good
An amazing old school candy & nut shop. Every candy that you can imagine is there.Ice cream too. Service is great and best of all, very Covid conscious. Please seemed clean and workers seemed diligent to keep it that way.
Always polite, everythings fresh and prices are decent!
Great local candy store with very good ice cream. A little bit pricey, but worth it
Great place lots and lots of fine nuts and candys
I absolutely love the dark chocolate covered almonds. This is a must have for me!
Love to visit when I come into town!
St Laurent Brothers has all of treats you could want. Their selection of candy and nuts is always fresh and delicious. They always have an excellent selection of seasonal items. My wife and I were shopping for stocking stuffers and found everything we needed and more. The staff was very friendly and efficient. It is nice to find a store where the staff obviously enjoys their work.
Find candy from your childhood days! Also a huge assortment of chocolates, sugar free candy ... and nuts! Great place to stop on a trip to browse and get goodies to take home and snack on during the ride! My favorites ... soft chewy coconut macaroons, Heath bar type toffee and coconut haystacks covered in chocolate!
Great old fashioned candy store, hand dipped chocolates and fun candy for kids as well. Must try are the Double dipled chocolate covered raisins. If you dont like raisins, just leave them for me :) price point seems a bit high but well worth a sweet tooth visit.
St. Laurent has candy and nuts every day but they hold a special place in my heart and home for the holidays! There were 2 places that helped make Christmas special: Model Bakery for cookies and St. Laurent Brothers for the candy. The special candies for Christmas are all there. My mother would fill pretty candy dishes with so many different candies. They seemed to just appear. The dishes would shine and the candies would glimmer in the dishes from the lights on the tree. I can remember just looking in wonder at the dishes. Then wed choose our favorites and carefully place the tops back on those delicate dishes. I never knew the candies came from this store until I was sent to get them for my own child. My mom had to tell me because she wanted her grandson to have the same memories.
I can get any amount, including ice cream. My husband loves spearmint leaves. They have some already in 1pound bags.
I love their shelled peanuts here.
My absolute favorite spot in America to buy sweet treats. Not just for tourists! Prices are almost as delicious as their candy, so the locals love the place too. ;)
I literally feel like a kid in a candy store every time I visit this place. I especially like the extra large chocolate covered raisins. They are a delight!
Love The Nut House so much!! It’s been a favorite place of mine since I was a kid and now I bring my kiddos there every time we visit from Texas!
St. Laurents is the best candy store in the Tri-City Area (Bay City-Saginaw-Midland). Its located in the heart of Bay Citys historical district along the Saginaw River, where the citys lumber industry used to thrive.It is sensory overload when you walk in for the first time: all the colors, brands, shapes, sizes. Youll have memories evoked of candy consumed as a kid that you had no idea was still being made. Youll find something for the most discriminating sweet tooth. No matter what you purchase, youll leave with a smile on your face.
I love the smell of that place as soon as I open the door. They still make lots of the candy on site...
I have discovered this peanut butter and it is now my absolute favorite. Love that it is in a glass jar. I buy the crunchy No Salt Added.This is the only peanut butter I will ever buy.
Great service and candy selection! Awesome place that Ive enjoyed since childhood!!
Absolutely love the sea foam here. Theres so many different choices of delicious candies, chocolates and nuts. A must visit while in bay city!
Great candy and chocolates
Its always a treat to stop at St Laurent Brothers. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. I always walk out with some sort of chocolate treat.
Amazing candy and prices!
Ample varietyExquisite tasteGreat prices
Candy was cool in from San Antonio so the feeling of it being around since childhood isnt there. A lot of variety. Employees were rude. Only one lady smiled while asking if I need help so I ordered from her. Deff not how I personally would treat customers.
Love the selection of candy and nuts!
This place was amazing! Such an old country feel to it. They had tons of old school candy, homemade chocolates, and new age candy as well! But they dont stop there! They also serve ice cream! 😨 if youre diabetic, I would avoid this place like the plague because even the most disciplined dieters will be tempted to get something to ease their sweet tooth.
This is a MUST. Great selection. Really caring staff. Old school feel. And best of all real hand made candies !!!!
Seriously, who doesnt LOVE this place! If they dont have it, it isnt made. Been going here since we were kids. And, a fun place to take the kiddos to let them pick out their own goodies. They have popcorn balls.....YUM!
I absolutely love at. Laurents brothers I have been going there since I was a kid and I am 43 suggest everyone visit there at least twice haha!
Great store!!Great treats inside
Reminds me of childhood sweet shop called Sweet Marie s in Flint on Chippawa Street. I really enjoyed my shopping experience. Thanks Ill come again.
I needed some candy bagged individually. Young man helped me was very nice and helpful. Thank him for his patience.
Love this place very great service very friendly staff.
Old fashioned childhood candy. Great sugar free selection.
Great selection of candies. Expensive though, and the front desk candies are weirdly displayed, they can state that they are sold out, but the candy is still in stock.
Lots of great treats and a fun old fashioned candy store. I went there as a kid and now we take our grandkids there.
Always great service and they always have the raw nuts i want
Love the chocolate covered peanut clusters! Fresh peanuts and pb without preservatives. Ice cream and candy rounds it out. Been going there since I was a child 60 years ago.
Great nuts,love the smells, people, CHOCOLATE. You can get every candy and nut imaginable in there. Absolutely LOVE this place!
Not the store it once was! They still carry almost every candy made and a good variety of nuts but the prices keep raising while the quality of what they make has gone down or they dont make some things but have them shipped in loosing taste, texture and/or authenticity from what it was years ago to what has become these past few years.
Absolutely amazing old school fancy shop. Employees were super friendly and prices where not sky high. The selection was accessing and candy was 😋. Nestled on the Saginaw River with abundant parking, easy access, and last but not least a amazing view!!!
