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.

Finally found this place that makes the most amazing caramels. The current address on Yelp took us…read moreto a private home so we called the business and confirmed the correct address is 36315 Highway 101 N in Nehalem. 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

Kitschy, cute, and a great selection! They had so many rare/uncommon candies including all the…read moreAltoid sour flavors. I appreciated that the bulk candy was behind the counter and not "serve yourself" due to germs. The lady who helped us was friendly, helpful, and did a great job getting the long line completed in no time!

There were so many people coming in and out of this small candy shop, we had to stop…read more We were really impressed with their selection. 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.

You can't sample the ice cream, there are no public restrooms, and there is no where to sit to eat…read more They offer a large assortment of flavors, mostly from Tillamook brand (which isn't a bad thing). The kids don't seem to mind and enjoyed themselves - it's just more of an inconvenience because our kids don't always know what flavor they want before trying and eat with a mess (easier to wash their hands afterwards). Not many other options in the area for ice cream, so it'll do for a cold treat if you know what you want, don't need to sit to eat, and then wash your hands.

Randomly stumbled upon this cute shop on the strip by the seaside. They sell interesting sweets,…read morewhat seemed like a loca version of see's candies w variety of chocolate assortments, ice cream, and lots of other goodies. Go check them out! I especially loved all the fresh taffees and the random flavors! Ex. Chicken and waffle, butter popcorn, banana split... Staff are also super friendly and loves dogs! One of the cashiers there told me she moved to this town because her dogs can run freely on the beach! People who have seen her Yorkie run claims it's the cutest and happiest dog they have seen!

We saw so many people walking by with this delicious looking ice cream so when we finally got to…read morethe ice cream shop we knew we had to partake (plus it's mandatory to get ice cream at the beach!). The service was so fast and friendly! The shop is an in and out (no seating available). The prices were good and there wasn't much to the shop but the ice cream and a few candies, but it looked clean. The ice cream we got was so yummy I forgot to snap a pic!

The store is filled with treasures; think clothes, hats, stickers and greeting cards (but there's much more!). I took a star off because while the service was friendly, there was one employee who wouldn't stop talking to us, which made it difficult to actually shop.

I got here when they were…read moreabout to close and some deli items I wanted were gone but there was still plenty to choose from. I was indecisive and overwhelmed with choices but the folks were kind and patient. My vegan picks: Rainbow wrap: I love yams, so it was an obvious choice. This was big and had good flavor. Whew, that curry filled up my car though. Rawsome bar: was pretty good as well. Not too sweet. I ate this while driving. Chocolate olive oil cake: moist Plush coconut cake: it was a bit dry Vegan tempeh Reuben: this was really good and would order again. Overall, I would come back and not 15 min before they close.

In the gift shop they sell drinks and snacks that you can take with you on the boat. We'd do it again and again!

I was hopeless and running the risk of hitting the rocks and who knows where I would have ended up it is wasn't for JAMES at Jetty Fishery Marina!! He saw us in distress and came to our rescue !! He docked us at Jetty's Location and let us wait till Kelly's finally showed up to get their boat back. James was calm and professional, if it wasn't for him idk what would have happened to us. I will only be doing these kind of activities with this company as they cared for our safety and won over our business for the sake of saving our lives when it wasn't even their obligation at all!!! Amazing service and the crabs were delicious. Thank you James you are a Hero!!
