Phillips Candies — Local services in Seaside

Love, love, love this candy store!! Went two days in a row which will more than likely contribute to my recently expanding waistline but no matter, where was I ?? Ahhh, yes, love this candy store. Candies and popcorn made fresh in store daily. Recommendations: #1 Chocolate "Seafoam" Candy ( insanely delicious and seriously addictive, hence, my return to store the next day after hoovering up a bag filled with pieces the day before)#2 Chocolate Mint Meltaways - my only regret is only purchasing 4 pieces #3 Chocolate covered almonds - where have you been all my life? #4 Carmel corn and Cheddar Cheese popcorn- yes and yes!!! Super fresh and delicious. CONFESSION: So we were at a candy store ( to remain nameless) in a town not too far from Seaside ( to remain nameless) and I decided to try their Chocolate Seafoam ( for comparitive and educational purposes, of course) AND , while good, could not hold a candle to the fresh, bright, and delicious flavor sensations of the Phillips Candies version. If you are in Seaside and have not been to Phillips Candies, I would highly recommend a visit. In addition to the great chocolate candy and popcorn varieties they make in store, there are tons of nostalgia candies, salt water taffy, and childhood favorites from other great...

I am a lifetime visitor to Phillips Candies. I have been coming since 1953 and my family before that. Their carmel corn is the best and I challenge you to find better. There is a problem though.

The walls look like they haven't been painted in decades. The floors are NEVER clean and shiny. Maybe some people don't care about those things but if a restaruant looked like that, most customers would never return. I'm afraid the family is riding on their past reputation. If I were a new family to Seaside, I may not even go in. It's too bad. Paint and soap, water and wax are not expensive and will not cut into their profits. A smile and "thank you" may even increase business. Maybe someone from the family will read this and try my...

Not sure why I've never gone in here before, I remember looking through the windows and it seemed to cramped and cluttered. But we went in this past week, and it was so nice. They must've remodeled the place as some of these pictures look different. But I just want to say, out of all the places we stopped by on our trip, the employees here were the absolute nicest ones. They were so friendly, and it was a change as many of the other stores seem to be ran by people who have better places to be. I will be back for sure just for this reason. (But also the salt water taffy was absolutely amazing!) The chocolates were a little spendy per lbs for my wallet ($22 I believe), but I'm sure they're delicious. Maybe I'll try...
