Ice cream was excellent and very generous servings. Waffle cone, regular cones or cups available. Fun candy selection especially if you like the retro stuff. It is right by the marina so great location to sit outside although it was too windy when we were there so we stayed inside. They have a comfortable dining area as well. We would definitely return. read more

Dropped in at the end of the their day. They hadn't put their closed sign up yet, but invited a group of us in even though they were cleaning up for the evening. The owners were incredibly upbeat and kind. We left with some wonderful chocolates and had such a nice experience that we'll be back the next time we're in town! We highly recommend stopping in! read more

Came in for ice cream and left with a small hoard of chocolate! Fun little shop with very good quality ice cream and chocolates. A small selection of retro candy too. Friendly counter person and clean well organized store. read more

My daughter and I stopped in to get some fudge when we were on vacation last October. My daughter inhaled the entire thing before I even got to try it. So we went back last week and stocked up on fudge and their salted caramels. They make the best fudge that I have ever tasted. And the salted caramels are amazing. I am addicted. I got my parents and my siblings hooked as well. I wish I had bought more! We will absolutely place an order to be shipped to us during the holidays. read more

Super cute! We love this place. Old fashioned candy from when we were young, unique fudge flavors that were a perfect balance of sweetness and flavor (like lavender and matcha), and cool gifts. Got an adorable, one-of-a-kind crocheted yellow dragon Friendly and great customer service! We'll be back! read more

Great customer service and candy, except if you are diabetic or your friends are. No sugarless dark chocolate, oh well.

it is a amazing place the food is amazing the service is amazing and the ambiance is amazing I highly recommend it

Wow where do I start? Becky the owner used to be a stranger, but now is my friend. She has the best of the best in that store but the most important thing she offers is excellent customer service. She has put together gift baskets for me over the phone. She has made incredible Valentines day gift baskets, Easter, Christmas, Birthdays and beyond. \ She also now carries hand scooped ice cream...lots of great flavors and a local favorite. She is a must stop shop if you live in Brookings or are visiting! Here is her website and also a video to watch about her great candy shop! http://brookings.chamberbusinessgateway.com/whales-tail-candy-gifts/ read more

The store was cute and had a nice selection. The problem was that there was an indescribable odor so strong it sent us running (smelled like a sour pet store or something pet related). Literally couldn't continue shopping even though I wanted to because the smell was so bad. read more

We stumbled upon this shop after lunch and I'm so glad that we did, they had the most amazing selection of Desserts. We bought so many assorted flavors such as Cookies & Cream, Almond Toffee and Chocolate Coconut, not only were they delicious but they were affordable too. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Whales Tail Candy & Gifts - a hand holding a piece of chocolate and nuts - Desserts Near Me - Brookings, Oregon

Love this place.....we go in for cones and a pup cup for our furry daughter at least once a week. The best part is the service.....they are always really great. read more

This is the cutest place with the absolute best homemade chocolate I've ever had. The owner was one of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone going through Brookings. It's worth taking a few extra minutes to stop and enjoy the area and get yourself some handmade, delicious treats! read more

You can absolutely NOT leave Brookings without visiting Whale's Tail! From the moment we walked in the front door until we walked out with goodies in hand, we had such a delightful experience. The owner, Becky, was super nice, friendly and informative. And there were so many yummy goodies to choose from! After Becky told us that she made all of the chocolates herself (with no preservatives), we had to buy two of each kind (well, almost). One of our favorites were her dark chocolate "Tidal Pools" topped with dark chocolate. So unique and delicious! My hubby and I recommend this sweet little shop to everyone visiting the area! read more

The store sends you back in time to remember the sweets we remember as kids. Lots of candy and they have scoop ice cream too. The woman at the counter was real nice. read more

Service and quality with a smile! That's what you will get here, and consistently. Today was my second visit, to pick up a special order that arrived quickly and with a reminder phone call. The order arrived quickly despite Becky telling me she had to reorder because the first package arrived in poor condition. This attention to detail and quality earns five stars for me! Her hand made chocolates also earn five stars. Quantity and selection are quite limited, but you can be sure it's all fresh. The salted caramels are another thing I returned for today. Both the milk and the dark are good and since I couldn't choose, I have had to get both! The salt-water taffy is the old-fashioned kind, made with egg white, which took a bit to get used to, as it is initially hard so you have to remember to hold a piece in your mouth for a minute before trying to chew. ...but it's worth it as the flavor and texture is far superior to the more common taffy made with coconut oil. It also keeps longer, in case you somehow manage to have any left over. While I was in the shop, someone popped in to thank Becky for the freshly caught crab she and her husband shared recently. I felt like I was in an extension of Becky's home. This was actually my third visit. My first visit was with an elderly friend who thought she remembered a place down on the boardwalk that had good taffy, but the shop was closed that Wednesday. The shop is closed Tuesday and Wednesdays during the winter slow time, which is understandable, but the only negative I could come up with. I wonder if the poor review concerning the bad smell was due to something out of the owner's control from the nearby harbour just a few steps away? That reviewer did not state if he asked the owner about it. I only smelled chocolate on my visits. read more

What can be said other then your hand made Candy are amazing. I love you truffles and yours are the creamiest truffle I have ever had. i have had several of your Candies and they are something to be treasured. I love the variety that the store has to offer and the customer service is exceptional. Any one who is looking for a a treat or a gift to take home with them needs to stop in. read more

HARD Salt water taffy!!!! My hubby and I went in and we each picked an assortment of salt water taffy from their individual flavored bins, paid and left. Half way down the road we both tried one and almost cracked a tooth. I took each piece out of our bags and they were ALL hard as a rock. I mean hard!!!! SO sad and disappointed. Selling rock hard taffy is bad business, even if we are tourists and won't be back through this area, it's just not nice. Plus it was expensive, it's pretty much the main kind of candy they sell. I'd say we had a good variety, and if every piece was hard, this is just dishonest business. read more

What a neat little shop lots of goodies to choose from. We sampled the fudge YUM. we bought some of the Taffy super good! an we left with Chocolate Covered pretzels. The lady working didn't get her name & not sure if she is the owner but she was super nice. read more

Excellent sweets! The sweets are handmade and excellent. Service was wonderful and friendly making us want to return in the future.

Cute little candy store right near the dock. The owner was very nice and informative of the area, places to see and things to do.

A fun little shop with great chocolates, taffy and an ice cream show you won't want to miss! Very friendly staff. We are stopping by every time we are in Bookings. We love it! read more

This is a nice little candy store. The owner was really nice and helped us in our selections. They have a great selection of candy and they have a good amount of sugar free options also. This place is a hidden gem! read more

This cute little store is somewhere you absolutely must stop when visiting the town of Brookings and the Harbor. Becky is the sweetest women! Very friendly and helpful, she told us where we could find and do certain things around the harbor while we ate our ice cream (which was oh so yummy!) The store is cute, clean and easy to navigate. Sells taffy and other little assorted candies, chocolate and fudge (also very good, I always get some when I visit here) and ice cream. I definitely recommend stopping into Whales Tail Candy & Gifts whenever you venture into the harbor. And give Becky a big smile and hello :) Good service and make or break an experience. You better believe my experience here made my day! read more

Amazing Dark Chocolate Candy and Ice cream. They make the candy. Yum!!!! Friendly service also.

Cute little store with lots of retro candies, ice cream and gifts. Great vibe, friendly people, but the reason for the five stars? Chocolate. Delicioius milk and dark chocolate dipped works of art. Hand crafted pecan turtles, cashew turtles, dark and milk chocolate seafoam, caramels, haystacks, "tidepools", peanut clusters, velvet peanut butter bars and truffles, all made on-site by owner Becky. read more

I don't know what all of these bad reviews are about but the lady down there is very nice and helpful. The wide assortment of salt water taffy is almost overwhelming. read more
