This place had 8 feet of water in it during Hurricane Ike in 2008. Thankfully, they saved these old machines by moving them upstairs before the storm. Also, you can't beat this place's ice cream. It's specially made there using recipes from a local ice cream company that was around almost 100 years ago. The family that owns this shop bought the ice cream company when it went bankrupt and still makes ice cream with those recipes. The cinnamon ice cream malt is to die for. It's also like $8.

His accuracy and speed when tossing out the samples was amazing.

I remember seeing a taffy machine like that when I was a kid at the beach boardwalk in NJ. There was no big show, just a machine in the window that you could watch and then go in and buy some salt water taffy. We also had taffy pulls at home on a much smaller scale of course! Delicious fresh and still slightly warm.

As a Baking and Pastry student, watching people make works of candy gives me pleasure.

Love La Kings!! Love how he taffy is thrown at you after it’s made!! Best soda shop on the strand!! Love Galveston, Love my Texas ❤️❤️

I loved watching how the cook worked, and how he used the old machines. Thank you.

It’s so cool how they use the same equipment that they used 80-100 years ago

Wow! That was really interesting. I have seen the hand pulled version made before, but never seen it made by the old machines. Kudos on keeping those machines in good working order.

I sew and knit, let me tell you, few things are made like they used to be! The only thing I know that’s still made just as well is spinning wheels (little ones for home use), as they’re still hand built. But sock knitting machines, for example, are all antiques. And the best sewing machines are by far and away antiques! There are some good modern ones, if you want to spend several thousand on a single sewing machine, but the really good ones are the antique cast iron ones.

When I was just a wee child, my daddy used to stand me next to the taffy machine window and I would watch that machine - for hours if they would have let me. I stood my children at the same window, my granddaughter too. I have always considered watching that machine a part of any trip to the beach. Sigh, now I am to old. They make it and wrap it before this old great-grandmother is out of bed. The wrapping machine is Awesome! I can still go there in the afternoon and buy some. My favorite flavor is chocolate with walnut. Hubby likes lickerish. .

Even if it's his job, you need to appreciate his hard work here; he could just make the taffy and skim over most of the processes (like the sweet/candy shop here does) but he doesn't, he explains it loud and thoroughly.
