4 Best Ice Cream Shops near Manzanita

“Apparently this little shop has recently changed its name, since I can only find "Schwietert's Cones & Candy" listed on Trip Advisor in other Oregon Beach towns, but that is what the big, colorful sign on the shop says. We stopped on the walk up the hill from the Manzanita Beach, and were thrilled to get cones for the entire family. The ice cream was excellent, and the portions much larger than expected. The friendly woman behind the counter was very helpful and patient with the various selections for our group, and we enjoyed our brief conversation with her. I'd advise getting the waffle cone, which contains the huge servings better than sugar cones could!“

“Visit Buttercup Ice Creams & Chowders for the best soups on the coast, including vegan curry and the best chowder of all time. The staff is cool and chill, and everything is made fresh to order. Their St Patrick's day special menu dinner, featuring smoked corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and Irish soda bread, was one of the best meals ever. Condiments like creamy horseradish sauce and whiskey butter were included, and the Irish Cream pot de creme dessert was decadent. The clam chowder had a unique consistency but was incredibly fresh and delicious. The Cajun chicken and andouille chowder was also a hit, especially paired with hearty bread. Enjoy your meal on the back patio with heaters, and don't forget to grab some creamy ice cream on your way out!“

“Sea Breeze Ice Cream is a cute shop in Rockaway offering a great selection of ice cream, candy, fudge, taffy, and T-shirts. Customers praise the delicious cinnamon glazed nuts and awesome customer service. While some felt the taffy lacked flavor, others were impressed by the huge servings of Tillamook and Umpqua Ice Cream. The store also offers free samples and a variety of merchandise, homemade fudge, chocolates, salt water taffy, roasted nuts, and popcorn. A popular spot for those looking for a sweet treat while in Rockaway.“
