Beach Sweets

Great little sweet shop. When you need that special treat, this is your go to place.
The fudge reminds me of the fudge my Grandma would make during Christmas when I was a little kid.
I get my wife a pound of The Wipeout (Rice Crispy Treat) She freezes it and takes a little at a time. Even after being in the freezer it taste great.

Cute little candy shop on the main drag on Ocean beach. They have the usual jelly bellies, gummies and sour candies in bins and some delicious looking chocolates and fudge which I wanted to buy but the weather was too hot. They had some cute unique gift items also. The owners were very nice. It was really nice and cool in there on a very hot day.

Love their chocolate! Definantly, top shelf. The effort to make such fine delectables, is definitely taken for granted. Everytime I come to SD, I make a special trip to feed my inner chocolate monster. I even bought some to send to friends across the U.S. My personal favs are the Sea Foam, Peanut Butter Cups, Wipeout, & the simple chocolate covered marshmallows. Yum, yum! Also, they have an amazing assortment of bulk candies & the staff is always great. I’m all about supporting locally run shops too. Good for the ecomomy. I’m hungry. ;)

Came in today for the first time. Spent about $ 4 on two chocolates. After paying, I picked up the bag of chocolates and the bag was open on the bottom. The cashier watched as both chocolates fell on the floor. I handed them to her and asked if she could throw them away. She did. I asked if they would replace them. She said that the owner said no. I left very disappointed. I will not return.

Love this place. They are locally owned and the staff is always really friendly. I love their chocolate covered Oreos and gummy candy selection. They are always mixing it up which is really fun to see what they have next.

Stopped in here with a girlfriend after dinner nearby. This shop is small but clean and has a large selection of bulk candy mix-​n-​match for one price (per weight) and also truffles and chocolate delights similarly priced per weight. The employee who helped us was polite and professional and the candy I bought was fresh and tasty, as were the chocolates. Only downside was the chocolate covered rice krispie treats were not home-​made rice krispie treats, they were Kellog’s store bought pre-​packaged treats. Boo. Everything else was good though, and I’d come here again if I’m in this neighborhood in the future.

Chocolate and other unique candies…
They must have been smoking because there are some really different and cool treats here. Besides wanting one of everything you will get AT LEAST something. The help is really patient as they know people want to look at and talk about everything.

Anywhere with an abundance of candy is my kinda place. This place filled my sweet tooth. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Only complaint is the fudge. I prefer melt in your mouth fudge and their maple fudge had a very chewy, almost glue like taste and consistency. Otherwise, I enjoyed my treats and will be back.

Decided to walk along Newport Avenue after watching the sunset at the cliffs. Their display is tempting and we just had to walk in! Of course, we had to walk out with a few treats. The owner was very nice and patient with our questions. She said they make many of the chocolates in house. It was difficult to choose, especially when you’re a chocoholic. They have various truffles and other chocolate confections. They were about to close and the owner told us that the chocolate dipped jalapenos were half off so we decided to get two. It was very good. It was raw japaleno dipped in dark chocolate. The spicy flavor of japaleno definitely paired well with the semisweet dark chocolate!
I love salt-​chocolate combination so I got a pretzel stick dipped in dark chocolate with sea salt. LOVE IT!!! The slatiness brings out the flavor of the chocolate even more and it certainly cuts down on the sweetness. My partner got a chocolate-​dipped marshmallow. It looked good but I never got to try it. He also got a few pieces of salt water taffy, which he loves. Again, I didn’t try any.
Beach Sweets is certainly a destination to go to when you’re in Ocean Beach. Will definitely return to try their other treats!

Was walking around OB after enjoying a beautiful sunset at the cliffs. Came in due to the smell of fresh chocolate and ended buying a bunch of different things!
The lady was very nice that help us out and was very patience while we were still browsing about decided what to get. She tells us that the Chocolate Dipped Jalapeños were half off so i ended up buying the last two. My partner loves Salty chocolate so ended up getting him a Salted Pretzel stick with dark chocolate and sea salt. And a chocolate cover marshmallow and about 10 pieces of Salt water taffy.
Jalapeños: Very Good. it uses a Raw Jalapeños dipped in dark chocolate. A little kick of spice as would any jalapeños give you, but also very fresh and crispy!
Pretzel: Pretty good. I am not a fan of hard pretzels so i cant really comment if it was that good or not. pretty salty for my taste.
Marshmallow: very good, taste pretty good. Has a thin layer of chocolate and the marshmallow is pretty big
Salt water taffy: its ok, Not much flavor in each of them but decent enough for San Diego. ITs always better to get Salt water taffy from where it came Santa Cruz (they have the best kind there)
Other than that it was a nice little stop. Will come back in a the later future, its too sinful to be visiting places like this!

Cute little shop with unique treats like chocolate-​covered jalapenos and chili peppers, cayenne chocolates, and red pepper flake sea salt caramels in addition to the standards like Jelly Bellys, nostalgic candies, and salt water taffy. The woman who was there tonight was super personable and sweet… helpful with recommending chocolates. Good for a browse and a sweet treat to eat :).
The jalapeño was INCREDIBLY SPICY — and it barely had any seeds… beware. The chocolate shell with a bit of oil from being on the pepper was hot enough. Red pepper flake caramel was great. Awesome flavor combo!

The BEST Sea Salted Dark Chocolate Caramel I have ever had. And they’re double the size that I find at other chocolate places. The Chocolate covered strawberries are also delish!

Friendly staff. they have a nice selection of chocolate. I had a coconut cluster and chocolate covered Oreo. very good!

Your standard candy shop with random sweets and taffy. Open pretty late which is awesome for a late-​night sweets craving!

Been coming here for years with my fiancé but will NEVER go back. Definitely feel like we are being scammed and buyers should be aware. Here’s the story and a few other shocking facts that the staff told us!
As I said before, I am engaged and my fiancé and I love supporting local OB businesses, so we chose Beach Sweets to make our party favors. They had a great idea of chocolate shaped sea shells and starfish in a small bag, filled with white sugar to resemble sand, my fiancé loved it and I got to admit it looked cool. The bags which were on display by the register had a ribbon and labels with the company name on them. Price for each bag was $ 3.50. We asked for a quote, and Kayla said she would get back to us after she talked to the owner.
Fast forward a couple of days and my fiancé received an email saying they could make the 100 bags we need as shown in the shop but to my amazement the price per bag went up to $ 4.00 each. Can someone please explain how that works? I don’t go to Costco all that often, but I’m pretty sure you get better deals when you buy in quantity. When we asked why we were being charged more we were told the labels and ink cost money… keep in mind the bags in the store had labels and ink on them.
We did not want anything on the labels changed, we wanted to give our guests a great party favor while giving free advertising for a place we loved. That alone would have made the company money. Not a smart move Beach Sweets. Oh so very greedy of you!
For the other shocking facts I mentioned earlier, they make pretty much nothing in house! Very disappointing! All they do in house is melt chocolate… and it’s probably the cheapest chocolate they can buy. The truffles are all ordered from a different company. I’d imagine the same is true for their fudge.
In closing, we had a good run. Unfortunately your greed lost you a customer, but we are going to use your idea! Just bought chocolate and the sea shell molds on
for way cheaper than what you charged! Thanks for the idea… clowns!

I had a classy 50^th birthday to plan within about a weeks time. Beach Sweets saved the day with amazing party favors. It was tiffany themed and they made chocolate dipped Oreos in a perfectly matched tiffany blue. Handmade white ribbon and even made it sparkle like the actual tiffany ribbons. (Picture added to Unilocal) They were a complete hit! Completely affordable and everyone was so impressed by them! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR BIRTHDAYS, WEDDINGS, PARTIES, etc! You will NOT be disappointed!

Love this place I have been coming here regularly for a few years. They have a big selection and they’re also one of the few places that sells Frosty’s Blue Cream Soda. Their peanut butter cups and chocolate-​covered gummy worms are probably my favorite. The staff is always very friendly.

Fantastic. It’s like the Sweet Factory combined with Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Candy everywhere. My favorite though are the baked goods.
Namely, the marshmallow treat. Confirmed godlike. Most of the baked goods were good, but that was the favorite.

I honestly cannot go a day without stopping here. I tried it while on vacation in OB (couldn’t walk past and NOT stop inside) and was hooked since. I moved to the area shortly after I vacationed OB and now it is a daily addiction. I need my fix :) I love the wipe out, anything they have that is peanut butter or caramel. Tried the choco covered bacon, not a fan — but I’m sure that’s an aquired taste.
HIGHLY recommend.
Oh, and the staff is amazing there. They are so sweet, and so helpful. that’s always a factor on whether I’ll be back or not.

Really cute store right in the heart of OB.
COOL STUFF HERE:
–Chocolate Dipped: Bacon, Pop Rocks*, Jalapeños, Candied Orange Peels*, Oreos, Twinkies, Salted Caramel
–Separate Flavors of Jelly Bellies* — Yay, no disgusting Banana flavor to ruin the bag!
–Salt Water Taffy
— S’more on a Stick
–Dark/​Milk Chocolate w/​Cayenne Pepper*
This is a great place to stop in for something fun and different. Kids would love this place, and it’s small enough that they aren’t more than two arm lengths away if you need to reel them in :)
