I didnt go myself but my son always brings me divinity when he hits the coast. Usually in Morro Bay. This time he went to Tomasko's and I'm happy he did. Best divinity ever! Soft, buttery and so delicious. I don't think I've ever enjoyed this treat so much. Thank you Tomasko's. read more

Delicious chocolates and taffy! They also have super cute souvenir shirts. Service was wonderful and everything is made in store. We stocked up on chocolate and one was better than the next! Highly recommended during your visit in Pismo Beach! read more

Tomasko's Salt Water Taffy - Desserts Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

Anytime we come down to the area we make a trip just to get Taffy. It's HOMEMADE. It's also the only place I've found WEST/EAST coast that makes Peanut Butter Taffy. Yes- real ribbons of peanut butter through each piece. Was just there last week and bought 2lbs to bring home. Family members request it! read more

Their divinity is yummy & excellent! We make a specific trip to go there just for the divinity when we're in town!

Neat place to visit. They have a variety of taffy to mix and match for $12 a pound. They have some cool shirts and baked goods along with souvenirs. Service was good and helpful. The store was quaint and inviting. Worth stepping in and checking it out. read more

My absolute favorite sweatshirts come from this place! They're the coziest ever, and every time I'm in Pismo I have to pick up a new one. I have a few in the butter-yellow shade -- I'm obsessed with that color -- plus a couple in the other pastel tones. Even after tons of washes, they stay fluffy and soft. I always size up a couple of sizes so I can feel my coziest out there! read more

This is a great place! Owner is nice. Taffy is handmade. Quality is great! I will keep going there.

I always like to support local establishments when we travel. The taffy was fresh so i recommend the visit!

The soft, chewy taffy was so good! My fav is peanut butter and it did not disappoint! I also bought banana and watermelon. They were good, but much milder on flavor. The service was friendly and she was patient while I browsed. The store was neat. It is pet friendly too. They had other desserts...baked goods, candies, chocolate covered apples and fresh baked cookies too. They even shirts and other souvenirs. The ambiance is perfect for tourists. Check out all of the goodies! read more

Really awful customer service. Limited selection. Unfriendly and rude. Will never shop here.

Great little shop offering taffy, fudge, candy, and ice cream. The taffy was delicious and so was the fudge. Super fresh! read more

Tomasko's Salt Water Taffy - Yummy taffy! - Desserts Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

The chocolates we bought yesterday tasted old, stale coconut. The darker chocolate was very poor quality. The taffy left a weird aftertaste, very disappointed. The service was subpar. Spent almost 200$ between the candy & gifts. Wish I would've waited. read more

The best salt water taffy ever, beyond compare! We moved to Texas 4 years ago, but every California visit since includes a stop here for ourselves and for friends! Peanut butter taffy, yeeeesssss! read more

Best divinity in the world since my great grandmother's......Worth the trip for the delicious trip down memory lane...mmmmmmm

Great service and the lady was very kind and friendly. She been having homemade salt water taffy for 35 years. Came inside the store with my golden retriever and she didn't mine. Because some business don't allow dogs but she was kind and said hello to mine. I got some different flavor of taffy for myself and to give out I'll come back again. read more

So happy we stopped in for ice cream! Long line, as it was hot out and everyone seemed to have the same idea. And there was only one girl working and the poor thing was doing a hell of a good job! Why do they keep the ice cream so ice cold and hard to scoop? Poor girl! She was sweating but still did a great job with a friendly attitude. I wish I had gotten her name to give her a shout out, but we were there on Saturday March 12th :-) The ice cream I got was called Pistachio Amaretto and Daaaaaaaannnggg it was freaking delicious! Now, listen to me. I am an ice cream freak! An ice cream freak of nature and I love ice cream more than any other dessert on this planet....and this was mind blowingly delicious. It tasted like a creamy frozen cannoli. I wish I had ordered more, even though I had a big lunch, and my one big scoop was plenty good enough. My husband got lemon marionberry which was incredibly lemony, the most lemony flavor of any I'd ever tried! Would I go back? Absolutely! But this time I'd skip lunch and just get a huge bowl of ice cream!! read more

Error 404: Customer Service not found. I instantly got turned off by the staff, the man working behind the counter loved giving service to same color of his skin. Took me a bit of conversation to get him to acknowledge us. If you're in dire need of ice cream, please order a scoop of Turkish Coffee flavor to cleanse his holier than thou attitude. It's sad that a fine ice cream company like McConnell's Fine Ice Cream is being served in a cesspool. read more

This is the best kept secret in Pismo Beach. Mr. Tomasko is a wonderful gentleman that is truly an amazing candy maker. His shop is clean & has the fantastic fragrance of taffy. If you get to Pismo, don't miss this delicious candy shop. read more

This shop is very charming, friendly staff and great salt water Taffy. In beautiful downtown Pismo Beach

My sister, niece and I came to this candy and sweet goods place to get goodies for the rest of the family back home. When we entered we noticed so many goodies at the store we couldn't help ourselves at all. They have a fudge table that has nothing but variations of fudge and goodies. It was so hard to pick out which fudge we wanted so I ended up going with the chocolate swirl peanut butter fudge which was bomb dot com. I let my niece pick out a toy for herself and her cousin then we made our way to the Salt Water Candy area and other good treats. They also had ice cream too. I treated my sister to some yummy candies. They had ever flavor of salt water taffy but we opted for a $5 bag of taffy that had a variety. They not only had sweets for candy-holidays they also had clothes and other knacks to bring back as souvenirs. The area was under construction so it was challenging to get to the shop and a little confusing as well. Other than that we had a great experience there. There are chairs and tables inside where you can sit down and enjoy your sweet treats. Definitely a must try if you are in the area. read more

This place is definitely worth practicing patience. At first I was put off by not being helped right away. But I was patient and glad I was because I realized the gentleman that was working was a little hard of hearing. Once I got my chocolate and had a chance to try it, well let's just say I was blown away. The dark chocolate salted caramel and dark chocolate peanut butter cups are delicious. So good in fact, I drove back to Pismo Beach the next day to buy more. So practice patience and kindness and enjoy the deliciousness of this small business gem. read more

Great selection of candies and chocolates as well as souvenirs. But my only reason for coming here is the McConnell's ice cream. They offer several flavors and scoops start at $4.50. A little pricey I guess, but it's the beat ice cream in town. read more

We come here because we love the taffy. We were all sad when they had to move. Now the store is kind of hidden. We also miss them making the taffy where everybody can see. We learned that they now make the taffy and other sweets in Morro Bay. The shop is cute and has some souvenirs that are a bit overpriced. The store is a little unorganized with boxes stacked around. They treat case was not fully stocked with treats when we went and not much of variety of taffy but enough to capture the attention of the little ones. Oh and they also sell ice cream. read more

This place had a ton of gear, but beware the quality isn't great at all for what you pay. I spent about $150 worth sweaters & each one of them had a problem with the wear & wash. My daughter put on a black sweater over a t-shirt & half the inside lining of the sweater pulled all over. Took me forever to get it off. Plus they shrink big time. I normally don't dry my clothes but on low setting. The taffy almost made my mom sick. Did not taste like that good seaside taffy you'd get from a coastal city. I think there might have been cross contamination with the utensils used for making the chocolate which also tasted like taffy too. Won't be revisiting when I come back. read more

OMG! This place is a gem! The boo and I randomly stopped by because we saw a sign for fresh cookies. I am sooooo happy we did because WOW. Hands down BEST cookies I've ever had!! They only offered one flavor, chocolate chip, but it's really the only flavor you need. The base of the cookie is amazing! The browned butter makes it exceptional and the chocolate chips are abundant throughout the whole cookie. It was just as good two days later, droool. It's chewy, it's sweet, it's absolutely perfection. We got a brownie and that was great too but I'm not a fan of chocolate chips in my brownies. 4 cookies and 1 brownie brought us out to $9. Best $9 I've ever spent! read more

We bought candy and sweatshirts here. The sweatshirts weren't ridiculously priced. The staff was pleasant and helpful. They had sanitizer for use at the counter. It's a pretty average touristy place. A little pricey for the candy but the kids liked it. read more

We found this shop off the main path. They were having a great sale on clothing. Picked up some of their hand made taffy. The taffy is soft and really good. Looking forward to coming back for more sometime. read more

First time here. Has various kinds of taffy. Took chance on PB taffy. Wish i had gotten 5 lbs of it. Filled with creamy PB!!! Cotton candy was out of this world too. Got a nice big hoodie too read more

You know it's bad when your girlfriend says it tastes like it's been sitting in her grandma's potpourri drawer The molasses flavor was decent, but everything else was inedible. Yucky flavor and stale. read more

We have gone here for caramel apples and we went this past weekend. We got home and wanted to eat our apples and cut into them and my apple was brown inside and I was unable to eat it. Super disappointed. Probably won't be back to purchase from them again. read more

" Great Variety of Items " We went into the Tomasko's Salt Water Taffy store in Pismo Beach, CA and had a nice time looking around and buying items. The large store is packed with tourist type items which include a good large selection of clothing items, beach type items and souvenirs, along with sweets, cookies, chocolates, a coffee bar area, ice cream, and oh yeah, salt water taffy. Their chocolate Pecan Truffles were so good. Nice variety of items and a very organized and clean store. read more

Love this place! So glad they made it after the move. I come in here at least once a week for my candy fix. They also sell the best avocados around. The avocados spread like butter. You get 8 big avocados for $6. The owner and staff are very friendly. They have some cool sweatshirts and souvenirs too. read more

We happed to walk right by this corner shop and took a quick peak inside. This Pismo touristy gift shop sells souvenirs as well as hand made candies including chocolates and taffy. They actually have a candy making station and they have an actual taffy pulling machine...would have loved to watch them making the taffy but they said the following day was their taffy making day. My husband loved the taffy...he picked out a handful of flavors to munch on while we walked on the beach, I think they were all gone by the time we got to the car! We recently started eating dairy free foods so my husband cheated I didn't. The young man at the counter was nice to chat with. read more

I live locally and I often visit Tomasko's Salt Water Taffy store. Their chocolates are rich and very large in size and the Caramel/chocolate dipped apples are fabulous. I also love their variety of t-shirts and sweatshirts...they make great gifts. visit soon...you won't be disappointed! read more

Used to love the caramel apples with almonds but they rarely make them anymore and if you ask when they will have them, they tell you they have no idea. I felt like I was being an inconvenience to the young staff by asking. There were no other customers inside at the time read more

I was SO excited to see this candy shop as I am 5 months pregnant and craving chocolate. We walk in and immediately there are Trump 2020 hats on display. I don't care how you vote, just don't shove it down your customers throats. Sadly, we walked out of there and went to the nice shop down the road and got some delicious fudge with out dealing with any political agendas. read more

Must try the Peanut Butter Cookies at the top of the counter in a glass jar , they are topped with a peanut butter cup. I only got a small sample from my friends purchases, but OMG was that cookie the bomb.com, I'm ready to go back just buy some of them. It reminded me of a classic homemade peanut cookie rolled in granulated sugar, except these bad boys are thick, but break apart like a homemade cookie should. Why 3 stars? The store itself was very warm when we went inside, to the point of being uncomfortable and people seemed agitated because of it, lots of grumbles, maybe the AC was out, but for that reason alone I couldn't wait to get out of there. It also seemed a bit unorganized but that might be because everyone seemed to be going a little loco due to the warmth of the shop. it's Souvenir themed store as well, you can purchase T-shirts and baubles to take home to the family. read more

First time in Pismo Beach and I wanted to try the salt water candy. This store was not enforcing the mask policy and I caught a glimpse of Trump merchandise. Amidst a pandemic you would think a store would try to place their customers first but this was not the case. Im not sure if their political affiliation was connected to their no mask enforcement but geez keep people safe. Save your money and go elsewhere for candy/merchandise. read more

Terrible customer service and they are not taking health precautions seriously at all. The girl serving the food was NOT wearing a mask and when we asked her to put one on before handling our food she said no because it is a "personal choice." Absolutely ridiculous that they do not care about the safety and well being of paying customers. There are plenty of other shops to support rather than this one. read more

Do NOT support this business if you're lgbqt. Their fudge wasn't any good as well. One star for the deal on the avocados.
