Murphy's Candy & Ice Cream — Restaurant in Ocean Shores

This shop has the worst ice cream milkshakes, I have ever experienced. We visited on July 30,2023 during the hog wild Sunday event, ordering 4 shakes paying nearly 55 dollars, two of the four shakes had the consistency of water, the other two had somewhat of a shake experience to them.

The almond joy was the worst of them all having a tap water consistency, the taste of which was hard to describe without describing the taste of sewage water. The chocolate milk shake had the consistency and taste of chocolate milk syrup , the berry shake was somewhat a shake with the flavor of berries in hydrated water. The pistachio milkshake ( a shake I enjoy at far better shops) had the consistency of a milkshake however, the taste was as far away from a pistachio milkshake experience. Frankly, the shake had an off putting abundance of almond extract hell in a 24 oz container. Each of these shakes met their doom at the closest garbage can nearest to the convention center.

The scary part is the cost for such an expensive less than one star experience was much more than buddy moo’s in hoquiam ( A shop I enjoy). It’s frankly shocking a shop can charge such prices for a third world experience that was much like drinking from the shanty ditch of a Venezuela outdoor sewage treatment facility.

Please don’t subject yourself, friends, or family to such torture treatment at this establishment. I have never in my lifetime stopped drinking a milkshake and sought out a garbage can so quickly, if I could give a negative 5 star review this would be it. Please avoid this shop like it owes you a lifetime of regret and apologies.

Murphy’s Candy and Ice Cream parlor gets three stars from me. Let’s start with the store. Back in the day they used to have pay by the pound candy in jars that you could bag up. It was a lot of fun and I wish they would bring it back. Their candy selection and taffy selection were lacking and just don’t display well at all. Next let’s talk service. I didn’t see the sign that said all Ice cream orders are placed at the register. Three teenage employees were standing directly in front of me behind the ice cream counter socializing and didn’t offer me any help. I stood there for several minutes not being helped. When I finally checked out and placed my order the cashier was rude. Let’s talk price. $10 for a small milkshake is high, and $10 for a scoop in a cone. Overall I love a good classic ice cream and candy shop but this location needs...

This used to be our go-to place for ice cream anytime we visited Ocean Shores. I don’t know what happened, but Murphy’s has lost its touch. Between the four flavors we had, not one did we enjoy. They were not creamy and full of flavor like they used to be, but bland and had a slightly icy consistency. A couple had a weird aftertaste. Prices are high at more than $5 for one small scoop. Service was quick but not personable, however, I understand how busy they can get. Flavor synopsis: Berry Cheesecake - bland vanilla. Salted Caramel - didn’t taste salt nor caramel. Grasshopper (mint with Oreo) minty and that’s about it, Oreos the best part. Bubblegum - I don’t even know what this tasted like, but it wasn’t...
