Seaside, Oregon Desserts | 2019 Edition

A scoop of Pumpkin ice cream in a sugar cone from Zinger's Homemade Ice Cream in Seaside. 

Time for another post about where to treat yourself in Seaside, Oregon. Our family has visited Seaside every year for the past six years. Every time we go, we visit our favorites and we also check out new spots. Seaside is a resort town located on Oregon's northern coast. This family friendly town is full of places to tame your sweet tooth. From candy shops filled with fresh fudge and other confections, to multiple ice cream stores, there's no shortage of dessert shops in this beach town.

Schwietert's Cones and Candy 

With multiple locations on the Oregon Coast, Schwietert's is a candy store we visit on every trip to Seaside. Our boys like the bulk candy while I always get some fudge. This time I bought some Orange Chocolate fudge. 

Sea Star Gelato

Sea Star Gelato has been voted the best ice cream in Oregon. When you visit, you'll know why. The gelato is just so creamy and dense, and their flavors are always awesome. Try a scoop of Belgian Biscuit like I did last year. It tasted like cookie butter. They also have Tillamook Strawberry and Birthday Cake. This time I had a scoop of Peanut Butter Vibes in a chocolate dipped cone. It was just as yum as it sounds and was a decadent ice cream cone! They don't have a website, but they're located at 8 N. Columbia St. in Seaside. 

Oregon Marketplace

On this trip to Seaside, we checked out Oregon Marketplace. This gift shop is chock full of Oregon goodies. This is the place to get Oregon wines, Marionberry pie and chocolates, and gifts made locally. We purchased a bag of Marionberry taffy. 

Phillips Candy 

Phillips Candy has been open for 120 years, making them one of Oregon's oldest businesses. We always stop in when we're in town. This time, they had chocolate covered Stroopwafles, and I just couldn't resist getting one. A Stroopwafle is a dutch wafer cookie with two thin layers and a caramel filling. Phillips did a nice job with this treat, as there was a thick chocolate coating over the cookie. It was a pretty hefty dessert, but it was sure delish. 

Zinger's Homemade Ice Cream 

This time in Seaside we finally got to try Zinger's Homemade Ice Cream. They have new owners now and are open during the year, not just in the summer. They've redone the space and I hear it looks nicer than with the previous owners. The space was cute and bright. For the ice cream, you can sample some first. I wanted a seasonal flavor, so I chose a scoop of the Pumpkin in a sugar cone. It was good quality ice cream. The locals and visitors love this place and now I can finally say I've tried it.
