Cranberry Sweets Company

Unbelievably RUDE customer service. They have very large glass containers with chocolate treats inside. My teenage son removed the container from the shelf so I could remove a sweet treat to purchase. As we were putting the container back a rude sales woman snapped «little boy don’t touch that». I explained that we were just removing an item too purchase. She completely ignored me and then proceeded to run us over with a broom. It was about 3:45 on a Sunday and she kept hounding the poor sales girl if she could leave early. She didn’t care about helping the 10 customers in the store she just wanted to clock out. Even though the candy is good this rude and quite embarrassing experience will prevent me from ever returning.

Sample this… Sample that… sample…sample…sample.
It’s a Candy/​Chocolate store filled with truffles, fudges, nutty caramel bites and so on.
I kept looking for Willy Wonka behind the counter. No luck.
The store is neat and clean. Kids shuffling around the store trying to stuff their mouths with as much candy as possible.
Prices are ok, but still on the high end however. Chocolate is pretty good. Not exceptional, but good. Friendly staff. It’s kinda fun to watch them make the chocolate right then and there. How fresh can it get? I’ll be back when I need a sugar fix.

Just happened to come on this by accident. Located in a very nondescript parking lot. Be warned! They have many samples that you will not be able to resist. Most everything is made in-​house. The large back wall has several very large windows that look right into the sweet factory. You can see them making and packaging everything.
They have a large variety of gourmet popcorns. Lot of different chocolates. They have several variety of fudges. They were a bit too sweet for me. Tried the cheddar cheese fude… interesting. Not my cup of tea but sort of reminds you of candy corn followed by cheddar cheese aftertaste.

If you ever find yourself in southern Oregon on the coast near Coos Bay, do yourself a favor drive over and drop in this place. This independent candy maker has it going on. Cranberry Sweets started out as a fruit pâté maker years ago. From that small venture it has bloomed a full blown candy shop with some great and tasty treats — killer truffles, awesome melt-​a-​ways, wonderful toffees, delicious pates — i sure I’m forgetting some others because everywhere you turn in the store there is some other kind of sweet treat, 150 different types if I remember the tour correctly.
They have sample bowls everywhere of pretty much all of their offerings and if they do not have something out that you wish to try — just ask they will be glad to cut you a taste. There is about a 3 – 5 minute little «tour» if you like within the store; the history, what is what and where, etc — to get your bearings — and then the rest is up to you. You can mix and match, build custom boxes of sweets, buy single pieces, pretty much any way you want your candy they will make a bag, a box or more for you while you’re there.
We did the little tour and then walked and sampled a few different sweets and built a few different boxes to take with us on our trip. We sampled all of the ones mentioned earlier and some of our favorites were boxed. As well, they often use local purveyors for collaborations like pates made with local craft beers — one was 7 Devils porter.
Stand outs: the Fruit Pates — very good true to flavor and very tasty, they are known for their Cranberry pâté — but the Orange and Lemon were our favorites
~ the Toffees — two words… Smoked Bacon.
~ the Truffles — there were several very good ones, but the double Chocolate and Wild Turkey were my choices. The kid went for a Ghost pepper one — very hot!
~ the Melt-​a-​ways — all of them.
The factory, processing area is in the back, behind a full glass wall so that you can watch them making, processing, etc. All of the ladies that were in front were fun, friendly and kind — they went the extra mile for us, and if you take your time like we did. Before you know it you will be walking out with 70 $ bucks worth of treats too! Hey it was vacation…
They can also be found online if you don’t live local and they will be glad to ship you sweet treats — there was a big pile of boxes waiting to go out in the mail the day of our visit.
Well worth the stop — a solid 4 stars.

Stopped by before heading back to Portland– pleasantly surprised. It felt more like a gift shop rather than a candy store but very cute inside. There were sample dishes all over the store but mostly chocolate with fruit which I like pure chocolate– so not as fun :)
There was only 1 tiny display case of chocolates– kind of a let down. Everything else was packaged.
Mint chocolate– so good!

I absolutely love this store/​factory. I love that as you walk around the store, there are samples EVERYWHERE. I visit Coos Bay often for relatives, and stop by at this place to get some Saltwater Taffy. They have a nice variety of delicious taffys, and tons of unique chocolates/​candies.

Even though the prices aren’t terribly high, if you spend too much time in here, you might end up spending a lot to get everything you want.
If you get there right when they open, they have some coffee for you to drink while you look around at everything. You can taste all the fudge and some other sweets they make there. They make their own fudge, caramels, taffy and chocolates. And it smells wonderful when you walk in.
A candy store can be a dangerous place for someone with a large sweet tooth.

This place is incredible. We stopped in on Easter Weekend — the selection of gourmet goodies was mind blowing.

This place is a must stop they have amazing candy free samples galore. You are missing out on a lot if you don’t stop in this place I go here everytime I go to Coos Bay or Bandon

Love It! Love It! Love It!
This is a must if you are in the area. There are so many options and samples to pick from — where to begin… They have all the traditional favorites, as well as the cranberry selection, bacon confections and chocolate with ghost peppers for the adventurous! There is also fudge… The marionberry fudge is super doper yummy you will need to stock up. A minimum of 5 packages is necessary. This fudge is so good, it is truly the taste of Oregon! This is a must frequent!

I grew up just up the street from this place and whenever I go back home and visit I make sure to go in and get myself some treats.
I stuff myself on all the free samples and then I buy lots of treats to stuff myself with on my long road trip back home. I love lemon flavored candies, especially with white chocolate, so I buy up a lot of that while I’m there.

This is a great place to pop into if your visiting coos county especially around the holidays. do come in with a sweet tooth because the free samples are in abundance calling with a cheerful staff that will wrap and mail your gifts to family and friends. locals don’t miss out on this well known shop. love supporting local businesses.

I don’t know if my opinion of Cranberry Sweets in Coos Bay is clouded by childhood nostalgia, but I am certain about something: this sweets shop is the stuff of dreams. As a kid, I was always stoked for the bevy of free samples available at the store… and, honestly, I haven’t changed much in adulthood!
The fruit pates are amazing, and I frequently request that my family send them to me (the berry ones are a personal favorite). They have even started a line of body products, and I have a really nice lavender lotion bar from this very shop. And, as weird as it may sound, I am kind of obsessed with their cheese fudge. Don’t knock it ’til you try it!
I’ve always had lovely experiences with their staff, and it’s really fun to come in during production (although you have to time your visit correctly). If you’re anywhere on the southern Oregon coast, you simply must visit!

So awesome! Tasty treats and delicious wine. Penelope is amazing! So nice and friendly and gave such an awesome little tour around the store and was so informative! There are free samples for mostly everything. They make these real delicious lemon candies. Can’t get enough. Seriously can’t wait to go back to get my hands on some more of these lemon candies!

If you have a sweet tooth this is the place to stop when you’re in Coos Bay. We always come and check this place out when we’re in town. The people are friendly and the free samples are fun. They have all kinds of great chocolate and jelly chews. Their candies make great gifts!

We just stumbled upon this neat candy store when we visited old Bandon and saw a sign for cranberry candy. Unbelievable number of cranberry flavors, at least 50 different flavors many combined with chocolate. And all were out on small plates, cut up to sample, each in front of the packaged product, shelf after shelf, like a mini supermarket of free candy!!! Young and friendly staff willing to help and always refilling the plates. Quality was high as were most prices, I guess you get what you pay for. Also sugar free selection available. A very special candy store spotlighting the Oregon cranberry.

I was visiting Oregon from Los Angeles, CA and heard great things about this place. My cousin recommended we stop here and I was very pleased. My gf and I were able to taste all kinds of different chocolates and we ended up buying a lot more chocolate than we thought we would. That is all because they have so many great options of tasting different things. The employees are very nice and I’m just sad this place isn’t in Los Angeles.

I am always amused by the thought of a cranberry bog. Although Oregon’s crop is small, it is one of the special regional treats in Bandon and Coos County.
This sweet shop was surprisingly large and I had no idea you could produce so many cranberry related products. But it felt rather generic, almost like walking into See’s Candy and there was no production going on during our visit. Perhaps we caught them at a bad time or I should have visited the Bandon location rather than the factory store in Coos Bay, but it won’t be a place where we will be rushing back.
I purchased a couple chocolate items with raspberries and nuts. They also have a large Jelly Belly display so my boys got to mix and match and pay by the pound. Overall the prices seemed high and when we were there they didn’t offer many samples, so it wasn’t quite the experience I was hoping for in the area. Always odd when a candy shop seems blah.

I was trying to decide whether to give Cranberry Sweets 3 or 4 stars. Most of their candy is very good, but their prices are fairly high. I absolutely love the Almond Toffee, but it’s pricey. They have chocolates and other gifts like soaps and lotions. Their signature candies are the cranberry flavored offerings and the wine flavored jelly candies.
The staff is very friendly, although some seem reserved with no personality. I had fudge shipped to a friend in Miami last summer, and the shipping with an ice pack cost more than the fudge. It made it fine without melting though.
It’s a great place to get a gift for someone, but expect to pay a little bit more out-​of-​pocket than usual. Although they import their chocolate, the actual candies are made on-​site and you can actually see them make it through the display windows.
One annoying thing is that they have a small television that is constantly replaying the Rachel Ray segment that was done at Cranberry Sweets. But, of course it’s something they should be proud of to be featured on such a program.

Driving down the road we saw the sign, «CANDY CANDY CANDY». Well, Fat Girl Wonder and her Diabetic Boy sidekick just couldn’t say no to THAT siren song.
We walked into an adorable little sweet shop. As it was the weekend, production wasn’t underway which was a bummer because I love watching things like that, and their setup has large windows that look into their small confection kitchen.
The shop has a selection of gifts and retain candies, but the gems are the confections they produce there on site.
Many well crafted candies, ranging from unique white chocolate barks (orange, mint, hazelnut, crispy) to chocolate creams of many flavors to truffles. There are unique specialties including Pie Candies — a dip that tastes like meringue in flavors of lemon, apple and pumpkin. But my favorite was the cranberry jellys — sweet blocks of soft jelly dipped in silky milk chocolate. YUM.
I believe they started in Bandon, and opened this second store in Coos Bay. Rachel Ray made a visit as part of her $ 40 A Day series. It’s a real local treat, with recipes honed and nurtured by a now 2^nd generation owner.
The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a nice treat!
