    Dairy free options, chocolate and espresso amazing
    Kelly S.

    Best ice cream - I've ever had! Staff Service was fast Nice date or family environment

    Non Dairy Chocolate chocolate chunk & Dairy - Birthday Cake.  Both delicious!
    Elicia B.

    Excellent selection of sweets. My husband got some sour candy and I left with a few truffles. They were amazing! We were excited about the ice cream and it did not disappoint. Im lactose into and I was pleased that they offer 4 flavors of non dairy options. 2 dairy free ice cream and 2 sherbet. My hug or birthday cake ice cream on a waffle cone and I got a dairy free chocolate chocolate chunk on a waffle cone. It tasted amazing and my stomach stayed happy. Im glad I don't live here or I'd go here all the time!

    In the still developing town of Seabrook, I was the most impressed with this shop. Although not the the cheapest ice cream ever, you get really good quality...perfect for those summer days. If you love coffee flavored things, do yourself a favor and get the Espresso Flake. On a side note, if anybody has a sweet tooth and didn't pack any candy for vacation, this place offers a decent variety to pick up. I would've stayed longer to browse their selection since I had spotted some really different offerings, but tight spacing and one way foot traffic due to COVID precautions makes you speed up a bit to make way for others.

    I bet there is something here to satisfy any sweet tooth. Kids like to frequent this place for obvious reasons.

    $$$

    So torn because my kids love it and the selection, but it's very over-priced, especially with candy you can find at any convince store- or even at grocery store down a few doors away. Almost $50 for the candy pictured below. But business seems to be good because it's always packed and crammed with people in that tiny store- so good for them! I do wish they would reconfigure the display set up somehow so the traffic flow wouldn't be so awkward. We basically have to circle at least 2-3 times around because we're often hurried/rushed by the impatient customers after us.

    They have the elusive (in the U.S.) Mars Bars!

    The Sweet Life is a sweet little sweet shop in Seabrook. Say that three times quickly! They scoop small batch local artisan ice cream and have a great selection of retro candy that will take you back...no WABAC Machine required. Mr. Peabody and Sherman thank you! I found two of my childhood candy faves here! Big Cherry and Mars Bars. Now if you're a fan of Mars Bars, you know how rare it is to find them here in the U.S. They were retired here years ago, brought back once or twice for a short period and now live happily over the pond in the U.K. Their first cousin, the Snicker's Almond Bar does still live here in the U.S. but (while good) it is just not the same as the Mars Bar. Oh how your fans miss you! So when you're in the sweet little seaside town of Seabrook be sure to grab a cone, some retro candy, slow down and and enjoy the Sweet Life!

    My friend reccomended we stop in Seabrook while we were on an Olympic Peninsula road trip to Ocean Shores and the town iteself is Insta/Yelp worthy. It is brand new looking, the Ocean is incredible, the people are so interesting and what is better than trying ice cream in a new space? I love that this is a little candy shop, as well as some very delicious ice cream. The social distancing was held to great standards as we were able to look around without having to worry about anyone else! We found candies while we were waiting to get to the ice cream counter and there was outdoor seating available! It was fantastic. The candy choices were a hard one to maneuver because there were so many options in a small space. The ice cream - classic chocolate and vanilla and it was perfection. I had an ice cream cone on the ocean and it made my day. Loved this little spot.

    I could smell sweetness as I was walking towards the candy store…read more They had lots of taffy, including freeze dried taffy. I had to get a bunch. Then I noticed they had my favorite chocolate that melts in your mouth Ice cube. I was excited to get a few. It was 1.00 each for the tiny cubes which I didn't mind paying for them because they're my favorite. I would've given higher rating but I did notice the place was pretty dusty, and some of the candy seemed like it was sitting there for a while. They did have a good selection if old school candy though. What made the rating even lower was when I ate my favorite 1.00 chocolate ice cube. It looked old, and tasted old. Had the waxy and starting to look white like it's been sitting there a while look to it. I still ate it, but it was just not the same melt in your mouth feel. I think the service could use some work also. But it's a small town older gal sitting behind counter looked like she was falling asleep. I don't blame her it was a beautiful warm day, and I was sleepy also. Young man helping us had a big smile the whole time. Seem friendly enough.

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.

I'll be back with some senior citizens next month, so this will definitely be one of our stops.

    My family has been buying oysters from this business for several years whenever we visit Ocean…read moreShores. My son owns a beach house there, and our family often gathers to spend time together. Between my family, my son's family, and my daughter's family, we have purchased oysters here more than 40 times over the years. We usually buy oysters while we are staying in Ocean Shores and often pick up another order on our way home. Out of all those purchases, only one order was less than satisfactory. The oysters from that purchase were a little smelly and contained more sand than usual. During our most recent visit, I mentioned that experience to the staff. At the time, they were out of the larger oysters I normally buy. Instead of simply telling me they were unavailable, one of the staff members arranged for someone to harvest medium-sized oysters directly from the farm. The oysters were freshly harvested and packed right away. I was impressed by the extra effort they made to ensure we received a quality product. That experience showed me how much they value their customers and stand behind what they sell. Aside from that one disappointing purchase, the oysters have consistently been fresh, delicious, and high quality. Based on our family's experience over many years and more than 40 purchases, I would gladly recommend this business to anyone looking for fresh oysters and excellent customer service.

Speaking to CHILDREN like that is beyond inappropriate--it's disturbing. As we were walking out she went behind the counter and started opening & shutting cabinets as loudly as she could. We didn't even stay a full minute before leaving because of how uncomfortable and disrespected we were. No family should ever be made to feel like that walking into a business. If this is how customers, especially kids are treated, then Scoopers doesn't deserve anyone's business. We will never be back.
