Real candy.
Real warmth.
Real slow.
Nestled along the Oregon coast on Highway 101, Sarah Jo's Candy is where handcrafted sweets meet the kind of hospitality you only find in small towns — no rush, no pretense, just good people and better treats.
A little shop with a big heart
Sarah Jo's Candy isn't just a stop along the highway — it's a place where the smell of fresh chocolate hits you before you even open the door, and where every customer is greeted like a neighbor coming home.
We specialize in handcrafted confections made the old-fashioned way: in small batches, with real ingredients, and with more care than any factory line could ever match. Whether you're driving through the coast or settling in for a slow afternoon, there's a seat for you here.
Our café serves warm drinks and simple comfort food alongside our sweets — because the best moments are the ones you don't rush.
Sweets worth stopping for
From rich hand-dipped chocolates to nostalgic hard candies, everything on our counter is made right here — never mass-produced, always made with intention.
Hand-Dipped Chocolates
Rich, velvety truffles and bonbons coated in our signature ganache — each one dipped by hand and finished with a dusting of cocoa, nuts, or sea salt.
Hard Candy & Lollipops
Swirled, pulled, and poured in small batches — our hard candies come in flavors that remind you of a simpler time, with natural fruit and spice infusions.
Café & Drinks
Warm coffee, rich hot chocolate, and simple café fare to pair with your sweets. Pull up a chair, take a breath, and enjoy the slow pace.
Gift Boxes & Bundles
Let us build a box for any occasion — birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, or just-because. Each arrangement is hand-packed with care and wrapped in warm tones.
Seasonal Specials
Every season brings something new — peppermint bark in December, pastel eggs in spring, bright summer flavors. Stop by often; the menu changes with the weather.
Pralines & Nut Confections
Buttery, crunchy pralines made with locally sourced nuts and real brown sugar. A Pacific Northwest favorite that melts on the tongue.
A peek inside
The kind of place that feels like walking into someone's kitchen — only the kitchen makes chocolate.
What our visitors say
The best compliment we get isn't about the candy — it's about the feeling. Here's what people tell us after they leave.
"We were driving down the coast and decided to pull in for a break. Ended up staying for an hour. The hot chocolate was the best I've ever had, and the candy box we took home was gone in two days."
"I ordered a custom gift box for my mom's birthday and it was absolutely perfect. You can tell they actually care about what they make — it's not something you find everywhere."
"Such a sweet little spot! My kids loved picking out their own candy, and I loved the coffee. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and just enjoy the moment."
We'd love to see you
Whether you're a local stopping by after dinner or a traveler looking for a sweet break on the coast, there's always a seat and a smile waiting for you here.
