There was a lot of different candies and some that can be harder to find. They also have a large case of different chocolates. They had one person working on a Friday, but she was really getting people in and out, it was impressive. I got several different truffles. While good, some of them lacked the flavor they claimed to be, which is why I took a star off.

Cute shop and friendly employees, but unfortunately I have to give a low rating because the product…read morewe got was sub-par. We bought a bunch of taffy and the dark chocolate and milk chocolate sea foam. Almost every single one of the taffy pieces was stuck to the wrapper making for a not enjoyable experience. The taste was also lackluster. The sea foam was a weird texture and pretty much just tasted like chocolate.

Bruce's candy kitchen has a wide variety of house made taffy and chocolates as well as a big collection of candies, both common and hard to find ones.

She loved caramels and would use them to make homemade caramel popcorn quite often when I was a kid. My favorite Halloween snack was her caramel popcorn balls! These sweet treats offer a whole lot more to me than just a treat. They offer warm childhood memories of the lady who meant the most to me. Thank you for the love that goes into these caramels.

We were welcomed by the nice gentleman who walked us through his products. We picked up a couple peanut brittles (so good and won't break your teeth!) and got the big flattened caramels ready to wrap an apple. We will definitely be back for more! PS. Store is cash only

Jandy Oyster is an absolute gem! The seafood is incredibly fresh and delicious, and you can tell…read morethey really care about the quality of what they serve. Even if someone in your group isn't a seafood eater, there are great options for them too, which makes it an easy choice for the whole family. We especially appreciated how kid-friendly and welcoming it was. Finding a place where the adults can enjoy amazing seafood while the kids are comfortable and happy isn't always easy, but Jandy Oyster checks all the boxes. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and something for everyone. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to!

This was a mixed experience. We ordered oysters and fish tacos. The oysters were definitely five…read morestar worthy. They were petite, sweet and delicious to eat. We had 9 in the 1/2 shell and 3 shooters. The shooters were also excellent and carried a good kick. On the other hand, we were generally disappointed with the amount of fish on the fish tacos. There couldn't have been more than a couple ounces on each. Our server was excellent and efficient and we enjoyed walking around the property afterwards. Definitely come here for the oysters, but maybe stay away from the fish tacos.

Listen. If you ever find yourself wandering through the salt-kissed mist of Cannon Beach with sand…read morein your shoes and an ache for something sweet in your soul, go ahead and duck into Schwietert's Cones & Candy. It's a sugar-slinging time machine. Shelves groan under the weight of taffy in colors that don't occur in nature and fudge dense enough to warp gravity. I had the ice cream. Two scoops. Marionberry Pie and Mountain Huckleberry. Both from Tillamook, which around here is less a brand and more a benevolent dairy cult. These berries are like edible postcards from the Pacific Northwest. One bite and you're knee-deep in a foggy forest thinking you hear Bigfoot weeping quietly from joy. Of course the prices are high. You're in a town where the beach views are free and everything else makes up for it. The real gamble is who hands you your scoop. Some of us got generous lumps the size of a toddler's fist while others looked like they'd been served a sample. Such is life in a democracy. The lines wound throughout the store, but it moved along at a respectable clip. People were smiling. Sugar does that. All in all, this is the kind of place that doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is. A temple to nostalgia. A sanctuary for the sweet-toothed and sunburnt. Four stars. One star held in reserve for the day someone figures out how to standardize scoop sizes.

On our walk to brunch from where we parked we walked past this place. My granddaughter looked up…read moreand me and said "what's that smell?" Oh she knew what she was smelling. It was a mixture of candy, waffle cones and other goodies. But first we needed to have lunch and I promised we would be back for some ice cream. What's a vacation without a daily scoop of ice cream ESPECIALLY when you are on vacation with your GG? I made good on my promise. We walked in and were met with a display of various fudge, saltwater taffy galor but we were there for some ice cream. Which was located at the back of the store. Displayed in all its yumminess was various flavors of Tillamook ice cream. Granddaughter chose birthday cake. I had jamoca almond fudge and my son had a cherry jubilee. We found seating outside in a courtyard where we enjoyed our ice cream before our big drive home.

There are certain places in Seaside that are not optional. The beach. The arcade noise. The smell…read moreof saltwater in the air. And for me, walking straight into Phillips Candies like a man fulfilling a sacred coastal tradition. This place has been around since 1897 and is actually the oldest continually operating business in Seaside, which honestly makes perfect sense the second you walk through the doors. First off, I absolutely love that they carry sugar free chocolates that actually taste good. That alone deserves applause. Then you add in the giant selection of candy, the homemade treats, the popcorn, the chocolate, the old school charm, and suddenly you realize you've been wandering around the store for forty five minutes carrying six pounds of snacks you absolutely did not plan on buying. I am a complete sucker for the white cheddar popcorn and the cheese popcorn. Throw in some Laffy Taffy and now we're talking about a full blown Seaside survival kit. Every single trip to the coast, I stop here and "accidentally" leave with enough candy to supply a small movie theater. The store itself is beautiful too. Bright, nostalgic, cozy, and full of that classic beach town energy that makes you happy just being there. It sits right near all the fun downtown, close to the arcade action and the heart of Seaside, so stopping in feels like part of the experience. The customer service is always fantastic, warm, welcoming, and patient with people like me who spend fifteen minutes debating popcorn flavors like it's a life decision. And somehow, even with the quality, it still feels like you get a good deal. Chocolates, candies, caramel corn, saltwater taffy, coffee drinks, sweet treats everywhere you look. No trip to the Oregon Coast feels complete without walking out of this place carrying a bag that's way heavier than you intended. Five stars all day long.

Cute cow bench outside if you'd rather wait while your loved one stocks up. Interesting to buy and also just to browse - I loved looking at all of the old fashioned candy boxes on the walls. Some Asian candies, mostly U.S. of A. A big attraction is the "seafoam" candy. Also they have merch, primarily the type of keychains and necklaces that have your name on them, and also a surprising amount of dog-related merch, including a bone-shaped dog toy and some cute signage. The staff were some of the friendliest we've ever encountered. They were so polite and eager and really seemed to enjoy their jobs.

The fudge assortment is great here but the line was way too long to wait for any of the candy in yen cases.
