They say ice can help cool you down...but they didn't specify what kind 🍨

If you're looking for a delicious way to cool down on this wonderful sunny day, we're open 9:30 am - 7 pm

By far, the question we get asked the most is..."Are you available in X city?"

While you can find us in a few spots around the island (like Buckerfields in Parksville and select Mid Island Co-op locations), we know we can be hard to find if you're not in Port Alberni.

Which is exactly why we love to remind people that we ship! Nearly all of your Coombs Candy favourites are available on our website whenever those cravings strike.

Whether you're just further along on the island, or all the way across the country, we're happy to send our treats right to your door.

We’re so proud to play a small (but delicious) part in mental health support in our community ❤️

"May is Mental Health Month and what better way to start the conversation than with chocolate ❤

Years ago, we partnered with Canadian Mental Health Port Alberni to create "The Elephant" a solid chocolate treat shaped like, you guessed it, an elephant.

Since then, "The Elephant" has become the Elephant Bar, carrying the same message as it's predecessor - it's okay to not be okay.

Each bar is a reminder that starting the conversation around mental health - addressing the elephant in the room - is a huge first step. Check in with friends, coworkers, family, strangers, because we all need somebody sometimes.

We're proud to donate 20% of the proceeds from every Elephant Bar to Canadian Mental Health Port Alberni. Bars are available at our storefront as well as online."

Update: Cherry Creek Waterworks has resolved the water issue and we are open as usual today 9:30am-7pm. Thank you for your patience, we look forward to seeing you!

Unfortunately, due to low/no water pressure issues from Cherry Creek Waterworks, we currently have no running water at the store and will be closed for the remainder of today.

We are hoping the issue will be resolved by tomorrow, and we will keep everyone updated as we know more. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding while Cherry Creek Waterworks works to restore service.

Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you again soon!

Have a safe and wonderful long weekend, and we hope it's filled with many many delicious things!
