"This a little candy shop near the boardwalk of Daytona Beach. It’s not a large collection but they have homemade taffy, fudge, and other chocolate goodies. They also have ice cream and a few other treats.
The people here are so very nice. Check them out, especially if you like salt water taffy. I didn’t count, but they must have almost 75 to 100 flavors."

"Best spot in Daytona to get fresh taffy, ice cream, chocolate covered apples n marshmallows, caramels, rock candy, gummies, and (our favorite) fudge in a variety of flavors. Something sweet for everyone!
Bag-your-own loose gummies and wrapped taffy (you bag it-you buy it) by the pound or 1/2 pound. Always busy (usually at least 5 customers typically with kids in the store) so make sure you bring your extended patience 😉. The chocolate fudge and mint chocolate fudge are our recommended must-try.
Attached gift / tourist shop is made for people under 6 feet tall from the low hanging wind chimes that my 6 ft+ tall husband had to duck below. Entire store and candy shop is not mobility friendly so if you're a wheelchair user or have a mobility aid, you might have to send someone in to get your sweets for you.
This is our 2nd visit - and we'd come back for the fudge 😋 Nearby lot parking is $6 (pay by card at a station) with about a 2-5 minute walk to get to Zeno's and the beach."

"A staple of Daytona! They have taffy for days and the staff is very friendly. Upon walking in the place, other customers were raving about how great their taffy is. They also serve homemade ice cream and have a fudge counter. This a great place to bring the family, a youth group, your significant other for a date, etc. The staff was very knowledgeable and customer service oriented. We visited on a Thursday at 3 pm and it quickly became busy. It’s attached to shop which is owned by the same family. They operate separately though. So make sure to buy your sweet treats before shopping for souvenirs. They even have souvenir taffy boxes with Daytona and Zeno’s specific themes on the front. Right around the corner from other lunch and entertainment options, Zeno’s is perfectly located in the heart of Daytona Beach’s famous boardwalk area. It’s a must stop for tourist akin to Savannah, GA’s @RiverStreetSweets."
