Reimer’s Candies, Gifts and Ice Cream

With a better selection and delicious ice creams and candies, Reimers Candies is the best treat retreat on Avila Beach!
The staff are kind, patient and happy to help you make the absolute right treat choice. And they love kids. Something not all Avila retailers/​restaurants love.
With so many ice cream/​shaved ice/​candies/​chocolates/​treats and flavors, Reimers is the best option!

The birthday cake gelato at Reimer’s is the best! An ice cream cone can get quite messy very fast on a hot day in Avila, so I would highly recommend getting the birthday cake gelato (or any flavor) as a milkshake. For only a little bit more than a single scoop on a cone, you can get a milkshake (with three scoops of ice cream). Better deal and much more convenient for the beach.

This is twice we have come during regular posted hours and they aren’t open. :(guess we’re heading to the place on the corner.

Walked into this candy shop that has a large assortment of different candies from salt water taffy to chocolate and they also serve ice cream. They have different flavors than a normal ice cream shop may have, and they are delicious in a waffle cone. There’s so many flavors to choose from, but I have to do is ask for a taste sample…

Reimer’s has wonderful gelato aside from a full selection of chocolates and treats! The best part… you can grab a cone, cup, or candy and head right to the beach in 10 seconds. A true beach front delight. I recommend the blueberry pomegranate gelato and a truffle! You won’t be dissapointed! !

Most delectable gelato ever!!! We got blueberry pomegranate and cookie dough… both flavors left huge smiles on our faces! Also, we induged in some chocolates… the most mouth watering of them all was their California pecan turtles… in which the caramel makes your head spin! Super sweet girl helped us out and made sure «the sweet tooth» was satisfied! Ohhhh and last but not least they had some great music playing to put Ya in that good times mood! If you are in the area you HAVE to take time for Reimer‘s!!!

The ice cream and caramel apple was so yummy!!! There isn’t much more to say since it’s just enjoyable at the beach and all! Sit outside and enjoy the sunset while munching on sweets.

Reimer’s had some of the best tasting ice cream I’ve ever had. I’m more of a fro-​yo girl and don’t usually indulge in full fat honest-​to-​gosh ice cream. After being out and about all day, then ending our afternoon for walk on the Avila Beach pier, we stopped here first for some treats.
The shoppe is extremely clean and workers are friendly and helpful. They actually seemed happy to see you when you walked in! In addition to the homemade ice cream in a variety of interesting flavors, they also featured some unique baked goods, gifts and candies. I indulged in a scoop of the Coconut Almond joy ice cream with chunks of almonds, chocolate and real coconut shavings. It was absolutely amazing-​not too sweet, not too rich, but just right.
There is some outdoor seating with views of the water and I can’t think of a better afternoon treat if you’re in the area!

The best ice cream!!! I was hooked on the California Turtle which is a concoction full of walnuts, pecans, vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips & a little carmel. I am not a carmel person, but it was not overwelmimg. Jut delish, yum yum & yum. I almost had it every day during my vacation, WHY NOT? I will be good when I get back home ;-).

Peaches and cream! creamy goodness…

This was some of the best gelato I’ve ever tasted. I had the strawberry. My husband said he didn’t want any but as soon as I gave him a bite, we ended up sharing it. It was very creamy with large chunks of strawberries. It was absolutely delicious and it is all handcrafted.

What a great lil place for home made ice cream and gelato, candies, treats, and chocolates. Fair prices too! They even have shaved ice! The kids were in heaven. Def recommend.

I had out of town guests for the holiday weekend and had talked up Avila Beach and really wanting ice cream. The beach is beautiful of course, my friend got a root beer float that she said was exactly what she was hoping for, and my other friend and I had great ice cream and flavors. Excellent experience!

We were introduced to Reimer’s while living in New York. The best man from my wedding and his wife live in Visalia. One Christmas holiday time our friends sent us a Stolen from Reimer’s. My wife being half German had memories from her Grandmother brought back to her remembrance and the rest of us non Germans really love this new introduction to Holiday treats. By the way, we found out this past week while visiting this store’s location that their Holiday time stolen goes fast and to order it by Thanksgiving the latest.
Anyway, cute candy/​ice cream store. We didn’t try any of it but we bought all three of our kids something from here as a souvenir from our trip to Avila. They do have great $ 10 price point gifts of huge variety whether candy or non candy style.

Perfect place for an ice cream break just off the beach in Avila. In fact, on a recent visit we couldn’t stay away and stopped by a few times. We had different servers very time and all of them were friendly and helpful. They offer samples of ice cream, and I had the chocolate hazelnut gelato on day, and the shaved ice on top of ice cream the other. Both were delicious and the small was a perfect portion. The prices are good and they have a nice selection of candies and gifts to bring home.

Although I live locally, I very rarely wander into most of the shops in Avila because they tend to be very touristy. However, yesterday Avila seemed to be pretty deserted, so I decided to try out some Reimer’s ice cream which was wonderful! The girl working behind the counter was very accommodating and super sweet.
On another positive note, I left my sweater on one of the outside tables, and when I called the next day they said they had put it aside for me. I will definitely be back!

Love getting the half of assorted sour belts here. It’s kinda pricey at $ 6.95 but they don’t taste stale and it comes with 4 different flavors (that I’m pretty sure Powell’s Sweet Shoppe in downtown SLO doesn’t have). And they also have lots of other candies, ice cream, and drinks. Plus it’s right near the beach so just walking there is nice and relaxing.

Its a small shop on Front Street right next to Avila Beach. It features home made ice cream, gelato, and sherbet. There is also an array of candy and coffee available. The service is great. The prices are reasonable considering the location on the beach and the quality of the items.
The most popular flavors are Tiger’s Blood, Lemon Lime, and Blueberry. Get it with ice cream and dig into the middle — delicious.
The most popular flavor of ice cream is the Wild Blackberry. Also delicious.

Its been two weeks and I’m STILL talking about how amazing the homemade ice cream was here. Wild Blackberry FTW. Make the stop if you’re in the area.
peace, love, and good booze ~ chase

«What do you want to do?»
«I’m down for anything. What do you want to do?»
This went on for about 5 minutes until my friend decided «Let’s go to Avila and get ice cream from that one shop!»
And so we were off to Avila Beach on a nice sunny Friday. Parking is not a big problem. we circled around the block once and found a spot really close. It’s free parking too.
We walked into Reimer’s and it’s a combination of a candy store & an ice cream/​gelato store. They had fudge, chocolates, fruity candies, etc. There were probably about 16 flavours of gelato/​ice cream. Some that I remember were cookies & cream, coconut almond joy, strawberry, pistachio almond, mocah almond fudge, bubblegum, raspberry something, etc. They offered samples, which is always good. In the end, I ordered 1 scoop of pistachio almond in a cup, one friend ordered a scoop of cookies & cream in a cup, and my other friend ordered a scoop of strawberry in a sugar cone. The sizes of the scoop was enormous! The young lady would made a scoop, and then add a lot more to it. I felt the scoop in the cup were a bit larger than the one on the cone, mainly because that’s all she could shove on a cone. My total was $ 9.75 meaning each scoop is $ 3.25 (the sugar cone didn’t cost extra). Good deal for good ice cream!
We walked down to the beach, sat in the sand & enjoyed our ice cream while listening to the waves. It was a good day =)
