Candyland

They don’t make their fudge or salt water taffy themselves — they get it «from someone in town». The taffy was decent but the fudge didnt look fresh so I didnt try any.
The customer service was a bit off but otherwise the experience was fine.
Prices were decent.

They really make you think you will be getting a great candy shop experience. The bright colors on the outside, the bell when you walk in… but no. Theres a small shelf of candy, some fudge/​chocolate and a section of saltwater taffy. The rest of the store is just souvenir Tshirt junk and tourist trap knick knacks

Yummy confections, nostalgic candies from our childhood, trinkets and souveniers of your trip to Lincoln City throughout the store also add to the ambiance of this delightful little candy shop.
A-#1 in my book ! :o)

Stick with the taffy. It is fresh and just about perfect. The bacon stuff, that’s kind of over now. And cut back the junk. They sure carry a lot of knic knacs and tourist items. Beach type stuff. It kind of dilutes the candy
And don’t forget the gob stoppers.

I’d say it’s a 2.5 star
It’s a cute shop on the outside, bright eye catching makes you wonder what waits for you inside. I was a little let down in all honesty, I expected Candyland to be full of candy not over priced touristy stuff. They do have some great candies which is why they should be a three star when it comes to the candy. Good taffy selection, bunch of silly bacon stuff, some older hard to find candies but they could utilize the store for more actual candy and less over priced junk. It’s named Candyland, I guess I just expected more.
What knocked them down from the three star was the service I experienced, the lady had her back to the us most of the time and never even greeted us. For a shop that should have a mom and pop feel it was lacking. I would go back if I was in town, but my expectations won’t be so high.

Classic LC stop.

Great little place to buy wind chimes and I even bought a Kite for 8.99 cheapest place in town. They even had those cigarette candies from when i was a kid bought 2 of them and even a bag of taffy. cant wait to return again in the future

Very disappointing. Was here over New Years and it was more of a gift shop. 7 – 11’s have more candy. Also the clerk never acknowledge us the entire time we were there… in fact had her back to us, She did say something after we told her to have a good day as we were leaving.

Expected so much after reading the reviews. Very disappointed.

It’s pretty much what you’d expect from a bright red building that says «CANDYLAND». My 6 year old thought it was better than the aquarium.
The Carmel corn was fresh, the seafoam was crunchy. My daughter was dying to get me to eat the chocolate covered crickets.
This is a fun shop with lots of gag gifts and some great candies from when I was a kid like atomic fireballs also some no longer appropriate candies from when I was a kid like candy cigarettes. There was quite a line but it was a summer weekend and they only have one cash register so it maybe took me 10 minutes to check out.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
Fresh Kettle Corn FTW!!!
Sure they sell many different type of candies here and other sweets to satisfy your sweet tooth, but Kettle Corn is what my belly approved. 4 stars just for the Kettle Corn and if you are a bacon fan, they have pretty much everything with bacon on it in this store (such as lip balm, belt, wallet, gum?, and other things).
Make sure you stop by here and get your kettle on!

I had never been here but the bf insisted as he remembered it from his younger days.
Oh yes, very tasty candies inside. We got some variety of taffy and two chocolates. (Hey, I’m trying to show restraint here).
They have the normal touristy stuff but we elected not to get into that stuff.
The building was very colorful so I had to take a picture. You cannot miss it as you drive south through town, there it is prominently on the east side of the street. I don’t know how I had been driving by it all these years.
I found it especially enticing as the bf indicated it had been there at least thirty years that he knew of.
I tried not to blow the New Year’s diet (one piece of taffy equals 60 calories folks – who knew?)
I’m sure I’ll be back here again.

No, it’s not a strip club, or a dental clinic, or an accordion repair shop, although Candyland would make an excellent name for any of those things. The name says it all: it is a land of awesome candy. Yes, there are other candy stores on the coast, but there can be only one Candyland.
I was 7 years old and had never seen the ocean or been to a candy store. Sure, my local grocery store had some candy and I’d seen the ocean on movies and TV, but that doesn’t count. We drove over from Idaho to visit relatives in Lincoln City. My eyes were as big as saucers the entire trip. Imagine being a little kid in a town with a bunch of souvenir shops, kite shops and candy shops… and then there is this bright red building with CANDYLAND in big white letters. It was like Christmas and at least one other holiday at the same time.
A few years later, Candyland hasn’t changed a bit. Oh, there probably have been a few changes… I’m pretty sure they didn’t have a cardswipe machine for credit cards when I was 7… it had to be the giant sliding imprint machine that went «chunk-​chunk» when they took an imprint of your card. If they even took credit cards back then. But essentially it is still the same great candy and souvenirs; it’s good to know it wasn’t just the novelty of the experience that made Candyland so awesome back then.
The quality of the candy is excellent, and the people are very nice with a good sense of humor. Who else would be brave or smartass enough to display a blue and white sign reading «TSUNAMI INSTRUCTIONS: Run Like Hell» on the front door of a business that is basically across the street from the pounding surf? Inside, the lady at the register kept us laughing for several minutes while we made the ever-​so-​crucial decision (since we can’t take the entire store home, what do we buy). To me Candyland is truly as good as it gets.

Whenever I come out here to the coast, I always make sure I visit Candyland to get my west coast candy fix. The carmel corn freshly made is AMAZING! There are some souveniers to pick up here as well. The various candy sticks that would be found at Chuck E. Cheese are there for the pickings for 15 cents a piece. I’m very glad after all these years, this local spot is still present to this day.

Stopped in here while waiting for the box office to open at the Bijou Theater down the street. They sell Salt Water Taffy, sugar sticks in yummy flavors, and home made chocolates, along with other, old fashioned candies. Gummy Bacon slices. Giant u-​fill pixie sticks. My kids went for starbursts (boring.) and a spiral lollipop (a little more excitement there…), and a water (what?!?). Apparently we need to take them out for sweets a little more often…
:D

I rarely crave sweets but I wanted some caramel corn BAD after arriving in town. My hubby took me to Candyland… the place where my caramel corn dreams came true! I also bought a couple pieces of seafoam candy which was really good and chocolatey.
I’ve seen a few candy stores in Lincoln City but this one did the trick for me.
