We just ate lunch at Luna Sea next door and was looking for a sweet treat. Topper's ice cream and…read morecandy had some ice cream I knew the kids would enjoy. They also had chocolate and taffy, which my daughter got a small bag of their cotton candy salt water taffy. We ordered some ice cream for the kids, cotton candy, and by then there was a long line of people behind us. There were two teenagers working and the one helped us get the ice cream and check us out. The kids ate some of the cotton candy ice cream but didn't finish it all. May have been too cold and windy outside to enjoy it since that was the only place to eat it. I thought it was creamy and sweet but nothing special. I got the huckleberry cheese cake and wish there was more cheesecake pieces in it. My husband found me one good piece to try and it just wasn't enough.

We picked up 2 sourdough batards (1 seeded, 1 plain), a small carrot cake, a berry scone, cinnamon roll, 1 snickerdoodle cookie and 1 shortbread square. I am a sourdough aficionado and bake with some regularity. The bread here is 10 out of 10 = perfect! Try to arrive early - when the shelves are full but expect to wait in line. (Would be worth it!) In conclusion: I would travel here just for their bread!

Ordered an olive sourdough that had a delicious crunchy crust and soft tender interior with the perfect hint of olive throughout. The sourdough is not especially sour but still decisions. Ordered a few pastries that were also delicious! Service and the line move quickly. Lots of street parking with a few lot spaces in front. Our pro tip is to drive down the street toward the marina and grab a picnic table and enjoy your pastries on the bay

Since it was their last day, they gave me a complementary peanut butter cookie. The servers were wonderful and a little bit carried because there were quite a few people in the restaurant. After a nice little early lunch, I stopped at the bakery area and got a dozen of their wonderful gingerbread cookies and one macaroon because they're so delicious. I can't have more than one!

Gingerbread village is an icon in Eugene to Florence travel. In fact, seeing the gingerbread…read morevillage means we are almost to grandmas house. When we visited this time, of course we had to stop! But we had arrived on a Wednesday and they are closed tue/wed, still recovering from the small business effects of COVID. So, we went the next day! The owner asked us if we had been there before, and being a brickerville resident (heading out of mapleton towards swisshome (best place in the world)) of COURSE i had eaten at gingerbread village! They had sponsored our 1st grade baseball team when we were the champions! I still have my t-shirt, and I'm now 43. Anywayyyyssss I'm a big fan of gingerbread village. The owner was extremely apologetic. She said they had fallen on hard times with employees moving away and recovering from Covid- so they have had to change their restaurant experience. It is now serving a very nice salad bar that has a great selection of fresh veggies and lots of unexpected yummy extras- and a build your own pizza option, as well as burgers and a selection of soups, a few other things I can't remember. They had house fried fresh chips that were still hot. Very yummy. Two of my kids got the chicken and dumplings soup, and they both ate it all. My son said it was the best he has eaten. My husband had the burger, and hot tea. My older daughter had fresh chips because she's picky but then also ate some watermelon. I had the salad bar and I was impressed with the choices. There was a family there eating the custom pizzas, the kids were having fun designing their own pizzas. There's lots of room outside to run around. The owner gave my kids a large rock and paint pens to decorate in our own way to place in a collection of travelers rocks. They also have several picture opportunities in the woods surrounding, like the ones I got of my son and gingerbread and our dog, and the Bigfoot giving finger hearts LOLZ. If you stop there, try yo spot him and post a pic. I'm sad I didn't get more pics. On our way back I'll get some more. Input pics of Munsel Lake in Florence. we caught 12 trout in about 3 hours on my dad's boat. It is also very close to the ocean. It is the warmest lake I have ever visited. We would always go to the ocean and then go to munsel lake to get the sand off, and then go back home to Mapleton. I know this has nothing to do with gingerbread village, but if you're on a road trip, maybe you'll care. You need a fishing license to fish, but they sell them online and in stores. We got ours at bimart (we don't have bimart membership, they didn't care) my son also got a mini pole there. The license was 23.00 for one day for adults. Kids 12-17 is 10.00. 12 and under don't need a license. If you are over there in Florence anyway, Darlingtonia is up the street, it's a carnivorous plant nature reserve. It's easy walking and really cool. There's go karts and mini golf nearby too. And dunebuggy rental stuff. Gingerbread village also had a lot of souvenirs and items for purchase for the local high school art program. I moved away before I made it to high school at mapleton. But I am an artist so I love supporting young artists and I love mapleton. Some of the ambiance- the plates- are still there, a lot of them anyway. The owner said that the owner before her sold most of them at a yard sale type sale. When she bought the place and re-named it "old world" gingerbread village, she vowed to not sell any more of them. She now has her globe collection scattered through the restaurant. It's pretty cool. The bouncy ball machines aren't there!! Bummer! Haha. Don't forget the gingerbread!! Served us a huge chunk of fresh gingerbread, warm, and melting a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream. We were so full we had to take it to go. We were passing through again about a week later to go to our air BnB in yachats (there's a lady named Jana that has a spot RIGHT at bob beach, the loft is CRAZY CHEAP) (the first time we were there, we were staying at an air BnB in BRICKERVILLE can you believe it? Two houses away from where I grew up. Grandmas house) So we were passing again and my husband INSISTED on more gingerbread and yes.... Omg. Yes. Right out of the oven, a box to go stuffed with gingerbread. We were eating fists full of gingerbread down the coast. Sooooo good. So, I may be biased, but my husband is definitely not. He wants to stop for more on the way back to Eugene before we have to return to where we currently call home, San Diego... but my heart will always lie in Mapleton.

**Flavor:** Midnight Chocolate Truffle unicornbow…read more **Rating:** 4.5/5 stars The moment I scooped this Midnight Chocolate Truffle into my bowl, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. The color is impossibly dark - a rich, velvety brown that seems to absorb light rather than reflect it. The texture is perfection itself - smooth yet substantial, with none of the icy crystallization that plagues lesser chocolate ice creams. The first spoonful delivers an immediate cocoa explosion that's both intense and nuanced. This isn't your childhood chocolate ice cream. The flavor profile evolves dramatically as it melts on your tongue - starting with a bold, slightly bitter dark chocolate note, then mellowing into something creamier with hints of espresso and vanilla. The finish reveals subtle notes of cherry and almond that linger pleasantly. What truly sets this ice cream apart are the truffle pieces scattered throughout - not too many, not too few. These decadent morsels provide textural contrast and concentrated bursts of chocolate flavor that elevate the experience from merely delicious to transcendent. My only complaint? At $9.99 per pint, it's definitely a splurge. But for special occasions or when you need to reset your chocolate standards, this is absolutely worth the investment. Would I buy it again? Already have. Twice. Have you tried any exceptional chocolate ice creams lately? I'm always looking for recommendations to expand my frozen dessert horizons.

It's a cute little building and store with places to eat and have coffee inside. Well worth the 10-15 minute drive from Newport. Much better to us than the candy shops at the bay front or near the aquarium. Will definitely be back.

Not in a fake way either, like genuinely took her time with us. She was explaining where the ice cream and treats are from in Mexico and you can tell she really cares about what she's serving. Everything we got was SO good. Like actually delicious. You can taste the quality. She kept thanking us, was super sweet, and just had the best energy.

I stopped to buy some fudge, but I thought the chocolate chip cookie looked like it might be good. I was right. It was so good. Fresh and gooey. If you are coming to the coast, you'll want to stop by and get some taffy to take home, but don't sleep on the cookies and ice cream. I was told by the sweet gentleman running the shop that they will soon have soup for the cool winter days. I sure wish I could post a picture of the cookie, but it was gone before I thought about it. Here's a pic of the fudge. It's the perfect amount to share. I recommend this shop for a treat to eat now and a treat to take home. Taffy is the best souvenir. Try the spicy mango flavor. Thank me later.
