Stopped here pretty much all the time whenever we're in Morro Bay. It's always for either a tea, coffee and some sort of sweets. It is a candy store so you must have something to enjoy. They have a good selection of sweets, and a lot of flavors of salt water taffy. It's also somewhat of a gift store with little trinkets and souvenirs. The selections of truffles candies were really nice. So many to choose from as they all looked so good. Not sure if they're made on site or delivered to. Also the selections of jelly beans were impressive. Picked up one of the strawberry truffle and raspberry truffle. Both were quite nice and not overly sweet. It's a nice little shop that does offered a lot of sweet and coffee drinks. I alway forget that they have a good selection of rice crispy treats which is one of my favorite. There was a bin full of them right where you pick up your drinks. read more

It was freezing yesterday evening as we were wrapping up our day trip to the coast. I needed something hot to sip on but also to help warm my hands. We stopped in at Kelli's and ordered a mocha. Despite their shop being filled with customers, service was quick and we were outta there in about 5 minutes. They have lots of goodies to pick from, but this was an emergency situation - we were in and out. I will definitely stop in next time and take my time to look around a bit more. read more

Stopped by on a chilly evening and the warm coffee smell really drew me in. Got a hot latte and it was exactly what I needed and soooo good!! Best coffee I've had in a while. read more

Absolutely love the almond pistachio ice cream! Great flavor with full sized almonds. They have another delicious sounding flavor with Heath Bar, but they were out. Hoping they refill that one by the end of this holiday weekend. read more

Down by the rock. Coffee and candy. Ordered two coffees and two pieces of candy. Pecan sugar free bar and white covered Oreos. They were both just okay. $2.50 for two pieces seemed like an okay price. Coffees average The girl that took our order was nice answered our questions, etc. The girl that made our made an okay coffee seemed bothered. When we asked where cream was, she was dramatic on pointing to location. She left us not wanting to return...ever. read more

Kelli's Candies - Location - Candy Stores Near Me - Morro Bay, California

I absolutely love Kelli's Candies! They have been here for years and they are the best. I have tried coffee from every place in Morro Bay and Kelli's always has the best! My favorite coffee 10/10!! read more

Alright here's what I will say about Kelli's candy, if your going here to buy packaged, name brand candy, it's a regular experience, probably 4/5 start. I was told by a friend that this place had excellent salt water taffy, so when I came here I had high expectations. I'm gonna keep it real here; the salt water taffy was ass. I took one bite and threw it away. The overall ambiance of the store was fine, but the service was mediocre at best. I don't think I'll be coming back, next time I'll try Carousel Taffy. read more

Was very disappointed when I came in. Not Much selection in candy just a bunch of jelly belly jelly beans and some odds and end. I saw alot of cotton candy. No one asked if I needed anything. Walked out without buying any treats and nothing was picture worthy. read more

Stopped in to find some nonpareils. Didn't have any, BUT they did have some excellent dark chocolate fudge with walnuts. So good. My wife made me share and now I'll have to wait till tomorrow to get some more. You can bet it won't be just one piece!!! read more

If you wants sweets, this is the place to go here along the Embarcadero. They have chocolate, fudge, candy and ice cream. And if you're looking for sugar-free, they've got that too! Super friendly service. The person who helped us was very cordial and patient. We had a big party, with different people getting different things, but he kept us our order organized. He also offered samples of fudge and ice cream. I love that they have all sorts of different kinds of sweets. M&M's, Jelly Belly, taffy, novelty candy, bulk candy that is pre-packaged because of Covid, like sour patch kids, gummy bears, sour strings, all kinds! I felt like a kid in a candy store. read more

We promised the grandson ice cream last night, so after watching the sunset over Cayucos, we made the five minute drive to MB for a tasty treat. The ice cream at Kellie's Candies is really good! The girl who waited on us was super nice and very patient. The grandson had ONE scoop of double chocolate. He counted four times the girl reached in the tub for ice cream! Four little partial scoops made one nice sized scoop. He was so excited! The hubby had mocha almond fudge. Our daughter had vanilla, like me. Less than $20 total for our four scoops of ice cream. Our grandson loved the dark chocolate ice cream, as evidenced by his chocolate face. Lol! The hubby said the mocha almond fudge was really tasty. And the vanilla was great...vanilla bean! So good! In addition to the ice cream counter, they have candies and chocolates in a case. Always a fun, tasty experience when we stop at Kelli's! read more

Walking down Morro Bay shops and me and the Mrs. had a sweet tooth. Not the first time I've been here, I always get some chocolate but I never have had their ice cream. So glad I chose to have ice cream this time. The first bite was extra creamy and had good flavor. Every bite had so many pecans. I'm not a big ice cream fan but I truly enjoyed Kelli's ice cream. If you are having a sweet tooth attack and are in the Morro Bay Area, then come in and grab some candy or some delicious ice cream. Thank you Kelli's for the delicious sweetness and for the awesome service. read more

We bought 1 scoop ice cream times two. We received maybe 2 table spoons of ice cream not each, NOT ONE SCOOP! also I asked for Rocky Road and I received something red with one marshmallow and zero nuts, I have no clue what it actually was. The price was $6.50 each which I do not mind paying per scoop but seriously why give me a one scoop cup and barely put anything in it, it was over half empty, when I spoke up, she said oh we were almost out, SERIOUSLY? Fact, they weren't almost out. NEVER WILL I BE BACK!!!! read more

Cute little sweet shop selling candies, chocolate and ice cream. We stopped by twice during our trip to enjoy some treats. There's something for everyone and the employees are friendly. They offered samples of fudge and ice cream to try. read more

Affogato is awesome!! Outstanding candy selection. ............................ ...........

The photos tell it all. Lots and lots of candy. All kinds of candies. Wrapped and bulk. Be aware when your grandchildren dash about for their half pound of faux nutrition. Pretty much centered on the Embarcadero, Kelli's has been around for quite awhile. The variety is stupefying. One of the better assortments I have seen in quite a time. Staff are mostly young girls, almost always in the summers. Open every day. Pleasant people who show a lot a patience given the many children who are grabbing about. read more

My wife and I often vacation in Pismo Beach and when we do, we always stop by Morro Bay to shop and eat. One place we enjoy getting a sweet treat is KELLI'S CANDIES. We recently stopped by on a Tuesday at about 3:00pm. There were several employees working behind the counter and we ordered a small strawberry sorbet. It was an ample size for us to share. It was good and firm too. Not soft and melting already. We have stopped by this location for ice cream / sorbet several times over the last four years and the service has always been just fine. The people there are friendly and the prices are fair for what you would expect in a tourist town. There is parking on the street and a free parking lot across the street along with a public restroom. We will surely return in the future. read more

There are so many candy purveyors on the wharf it's tough to distinguish one from another. Location and coffee are why we came in. Every inch of this cluttered store has candy. Somehow they've also found room for ice-cream, pre-portioned fudge, and various handmade chocolates. They also have a nice selection of vintage sweets on the back wall (candy cigarettes anyone?). We picked up a few pieces of taffy and some Rice Krispy treats for a boat tour. We really wanted some hot coffee because Morro Bay is always foggy and windy... So we ordered two drip coffees. Well they were out of coffee after the first cup so they had to make a new one. So we got one coffee that was warm-hot, and one that was very hot.. Training issue I guess, next time they should keep a better eye on when they were very low, and also she should have just made both from the new batch.... there was no half and half out and it had to be requested. They gave us the carton from the fridge. The coffee bar needs to be placed in a better location and needs to look nicer. Man, if these guys could really clean up their coffee process (including selling local coffee) it has a prime location with all the tour boats around. Overall Kelli's is a good place for sweets. The location is perfect but if they enhance their coffee service they might be a huge hit, and get a repeat visit from us. read more

Candy shop, ice cream parlor, mini arcade all in one. We walked past Kelli's while we were walking Morro Bay's main street. My son wanted ice cream, walked in, service was awesome, ice cream and waffle cones were good. No problems. They even have a shared public bathroom you can use as needed. I disagree with the others who have given Kelli's a negative review. read more

the baristas need to be retrained on coffee. especially with steaming the milk to know when it's not boiling not, or the differences of espresso drinks. granted it was only $4 read more

Bought the variety pack of salt water taffy & it's all been mediocre. Fiancé got a double scoop of ice cream. It was alright. Grocery stores are better. Only positive are the prices were decent & the employee was super nice (unfortunately I didn't get her name). read more

Kelli's is a cute little candy store and so much more! There is such a variety to satisfy your sweet tooth. the Snickerdoodle latte, ice cream, jellybeans, and fudge are yummy too!! The employees are always friendly, helpful, and hard working, even when it's busy. Emily and Bridget were especially helpful last time I was there, thanks!!! read more

My review is for the coffee/chai latte alone. My kids got some candy and they really don't have the greatest selection and some of the bulk candy seemed stale. Let's talk about my elderflower chai latte though! It was super hot and so creamy! Made with milk and not watered down. Wonderful flavor! I'm very picky about my chai and this was very very good! read more

I want to say that this owner knows what it means to be concerned about their customers. I had a slight service issue and Kelli was on this so quickly it made my head spin. She made sure to address my concerns and even did some extra customer service training with her team. I say kudos to her!! So many people loose sight that their customers can make or break their business based on the service given. So I say if you just want a great cup of coffee or just need a little sweet treat go here!!!! read more

Strolling the Embarcadero, stopped for a snack. SLO Maid ice cream always pulls me in the door! They happen to have my favorite that day, swiss orange chip, so I got a large container to take home to share after dinner! Grabbed a few Dewars chews, peanut butter, peppermint, and yummy caramel! And of course and assortment of chocolates. read more

Last Night I went to get some candy and I'm from out of town and the 2 young men where the absolutely best they conversed with me about the candy and what it was like they also let me try samples I would come back any day they where also very mature young men I must say. read more

Kind of pricey, but what else would you expect from a place catering to tourists? The fudge we bought was delicious- dark chocolate caramel sea salt, and tasted like that marshmallow based fudge you'd make at home, only better! The Mexican mocha I had was pretty good, but nothing super special. The place caters to the nostalgia of childhood, with old school candies, chotchkies, and the attached arcade. It's a lot of fun to play air hockey or pinball at night when you're done kayaking. Take a look :) read more

Very friendly and great customer service! The toffee fudge was very tasty and they offer fudge samples as well. Also very dog friendly! read more

My girlfriend & I were finishing up the Tiki Cruise while visiting Morro Bay and were looking for a coffee fix. As you enter this place it gives a retro feel, they have plenty of candies and sweets that are not sold in retail stores. While in line we saw their specials, and decided to get their Lavender Matcha Latte. We were blown away by how good it was! The B & W Mocha was another great choice too that we should have gotten. Thank you to the baristas who were super friendly and made our specialty orders, ya'll are great. Fellow Yelper, don't forget to tip your local baristas, and enjoy what Morro Bay offers. read more

We always go to Kelli's Candies to get ice cream and candy (plus pick up some gourmet chocolate for mom) as the very first stop on special dad days with each of our kids. Many fond memories looking out over the beautiful bay eating ice cream and enjoying time together. Thank you for all the great memories! read more

Nice location and quaint. If you have. Sweet tooth, this is your place! Only issue is I called to see if by any chance they carried Candy Melts and the gal had no idea what those were! That's the only negative! Employees should know what is on the shelves! read more

Taffy flavors were great as was the service. But we also got some chocolate covered toffees and they were gross and inedible , both the chocolate and the toffee tasted very off!! First time in my life that I've had bad chocolate! :( read more

The service was bad. Super slow had to wait 30 minutes for two milk shakes. One I had to return a milk shake because it was two melted. So in the end I had to go somewhere else to get something. read more

Went here for a little scoop of ice cream for my son and a hot fudge sundae for my husband and I. When I got and paid for the sundae, I tasted it and noticed that the "hot fudge" was just chocolate syrup. I asked the girl behind the counter about it, and she said, "Oh yeah sorry we are out of hot fudge" I asked if there is anything she could do to help me and she said she could give me more syrup. The whole point was I wanted a hot fudge sundae not a chocolate syrup sundae. By the way, the "sundae" ,even if it did have hot fudge, has nothing else. No whipped cream, no nuts or a cherry. If you're out if hot fudge that's fine, just tell me and I would have just gotten something else, instead of being sneaky and hoping I wouldn't notice. read more

Kelli's needs to have their girls go through people skill training. Just because I don't look like Brad Pit and my wife is not Jennifer Aniston doesn't mean my money don't work the same. Get over the superficial evolution. Me and my wife tried three times to get service and were totally ignored. Sorry where not good looking enough for your attention. I now know NOT to go here on my next trip. However word to the travelers to this area the bakery across the street was more then happy to serve us and paid attention. I would be more than happy to talk to the owners about how their girls treat people. read more

Nice people but quite possibly the worst taffy my family has ever had. Gooey, oily, separated and stuck to the wrapper. We're walking to the end of the block to go to another taffy store. read more

Generally speaking, if an owner wants to make things right, they either simply apologize for the poor experience or they could reach out and offer a replacement experience or product. It is a very poor practice to expect the customer to ask for a replacement product when what you served/ provided was awful. I watched your employee make me the coffee, I had no reason to believe that a second cup would have been any better. Both the fudge and the coffee were thrown out. read more

These girls need to learn how to make a blended mocha. After yesterday I will no longer stop by on my way to work. Yesterday's was mostly milk and thin it was basically chocolate milk. You never know what you're going to get, it's always different and not that good. read more

This is a very nice little candy and ice cream shoppe. It's open a bit later than most of the other ice cream shops in Morro Bay, so we wind up coming here frequently. The help is always very friendly even if they do get very busy on holidays and during the summer months. Still, good stuff for reasonable prices. And they have some ice cream made at Cal Poly if you are interested. read more
