Burst's Candies — Local services in Corvallis

One of my favorite local candy shops, I always make a point to visit Burst's Candies during the holidays. Their selection is great, prices are reasonable, and you can't beat the quality. This year, I tried ordering through their website with the "pick up" option which was a wonderful experience. They had my order ready early and I was able to pick it up with a short wait during a very busy time of day. They also host wine/chocolate tastings during the year.

The shop itself is small and can be difficult to find if you are heading there for the first time. Make sure to check it out on Google Street View to help you find the entrance ahead of time and to navigate the one-way streets. The parking is free but it may be a little tricky to find an open spot within a block or two depending on when you go.

Overall, I can't recommend Burst's...

My family loves this shop - old time, original Corvallis charm and superb quality chocolates and confections. It's especially charming for kids, with all the jars of gummies for them to pick from; old-fashioned candy sticks; and an old scale they can actually weigh themselves on. I lived in France and Germany for most of my adult life and think Burst's dark chocolate stacks up to the quality found in Belgium. Their cashew "beavers" (turtles) are AMAZING, worth the price. Nothing I've tried there is too sugary sweet either -- it's just right. They make a quality sea foam (hadn't seen that for a long time) that is very good, candied orange zests covered in chocolate, cherry cordials... all in the setting of an old-fashioned, friendly, charming, quality small business....

Love this place! Owner Chip is a great guy (Philomath High graduate). Loves candy/chocolate. Super knowledgeable. The chocolates u can get there are the best. Traditional recipes that date back almost 100 years. I just finished a divinity egg. Sooooo good! Go and buy something there. It is bespoke, unique, special and everything the world we live in is not. Must go!

Note: I’m totally biased since my dad owned the place from 1975 to circa 1996. And I’ve known Chip since 1991. His brother was on my basketball...
