Saw some souvenirs for Westport right next to the candy shop, which was convenient. Anyhow, after checking some stuff out, decided to buy Chocolate Caramel Popcorn, 4 Cans of Energy drinks for $1.99 each and a bag of Taffy. After getting back to the hotel room, tried out each of the items I bought. Here are the ratings: Energy drink - 4/5 Popcorn - 2/5: I don't know if the popcorn was too old or sitting there a while on the shelf, but it tasted stale, and too stuck on each other. Was so difficult to eat! Flavor was alright. Taffy - 4/5: Tasted pretty good. Wasn't anything special, but liked it.

Lots of fun touristy souvenirs and their candy shop has lots of choices, including a jaw breaker bigger than my hobbity sized hand. They have silly souvenirs and of course stuff for the beach like sweatshirts and sling bags, which you'll need at some of the beaches because they're pretty windy and cold. I'll be back with some senior citizens next month, so this will definitely be one of our stops.

I have been on an ice cream kick all summer trying to visit as many creameries as possible. So…read moreafter a long day of fishing in Westport, I decided to give this little ice cream shop a try. I was dying of thirst and needed a place to use the bathroom. The location appears to be a gift shop with an ice cream business on the side. Regardless, it is conveniently located at the waterfront. The shop did not have a ridiculously number of flavors. I would say it had enough. I decided to try the Mango sorbet on a waffle cone. The ice cream was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by mango flavor. I think what I liked the most about it was that it wasn't super rich and that helped quench my thirst. I was dissapoined the establishment does not have public restrooms. Actually most the business in the area are the same way. After spending the day out on the boat fishing I was looking for a nice place to use the bathroom and rest for a little bit.

For myself this is the approach I took, as I eat ice cream rather slowly. Inside there are vibrant colors all around and even has a section of children books and DVD's for your kids to browse through as you wait in line for your turn to get ice cream, or a waffle cone; this idea in my mind is a very ingenious idea and I applaud them for this. Nice family friendly atmosphere, and a great place to grab some cold treats; walking along the pier watching the boats come in and leave, a sight so peaceful and tranquil you may just forget your ice cream is melting.

Beautiful collection of items, very diverse and not all "cat" themed, but included. The people we spoke to (shop owners?) were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, as we purchased a niche item that we found very unexpectedly in their shop. Not only were they able to tell us about the item we purchased, but about the history and facts of the item. Their warmth and relatability led to us making a few more purchases before leaving the shop, and we will definitely return when we're in OS next time. My only regret is the beautiful purse I forgot to grab before we left! Next time...!

I have since returned multiple times and it is somehow even cuter in person! They have so many unique goodies whether shopping for a gift or yourself: prints and other artwork, stationary, ceramics (including such cute mugs), art supplies (indigenous handmade paints!), bath and body items (Wato soap, yes please!), housewares, treats, adorable accessories and clothing, etc. Many items are local, too! They are always really friendly and nice in the shop, and it's just such a pleasure to wander. I honestly think my mom, sisters, and I nearly spent an hour there. If you can, time it so you can check out the Sunday Astoria Farmers market while there. Parking is not great as it's right in the middle of downtown Astoria, but that's just the nature of the beast, and worth it!
