"I visited Rockaway Beach Gifts and Sweets at the encouragement of a friend of mine. I didn't make a point of it, til I was getting a cup of coffee nearby and I thought I'd drop in. I had met one of the owners, Kim, on a previous occasion, and I really enjoyed her energy and sense of humor. Now, on her turf, that sense of enthusiasm was even more amplified and I loved it. Not only is the shop cute as heck, with interesting knick knacks, there is vintage candy that I had forgotten about from childhood; remember Starburst, Sugarbabies, Pez and Pop rocks?! What a blast from the past! This is a great shop for picking up that unusual, cheeky gift for someone, that they would get a big smile out of and it won't break the bank. Kim's energy is infectious. Please go visit. After that initial visit, I've been back three times!" - Eric C.

"Rockaway Beach Gifts & Sweets was one of the shops we happened to stop by and what an amazing experience it was. We met Kim, the person running the store, and not only was she helpful, she was kind, attentive and downright hilarious. Sometimes the things in a store won't always be the greatest quality, but the person helping you can make a huge difference. In the case of my time here, both the products being sold AND the customer service was amazing. Kim was interested in us, she asked open-ended questions, and she was a joy to talk to and be around. I love that she is a local letting others know what the locals do and where the best places to go are. We had such a fun time talking, buying candy, picking up new stickers, and enjoying each other's humor, that we took a picture with her to remind her who we are next time we go to visit. Even before our time with her, she was so attentive to other customers who were in her store. A family of three or four were there and their dad was watching his young children explore the space, while also watching how they spend. They could not have chosen a better place. Kim was was a joy to listen to in how she was present with those young girls. By the way, those candy sours were great and the salted chocolates at the front are amazing! I am definitely looking forward to visiting again." - Sivasa L.

"On my occasional trips to Pacifica, I sometimes stop by Rockaway Beach Gifts & Sweets that offers a wide variety of chocolate and candy goodies for that significant other or VIP. There is a lot to choose from and there are delights for the casual to those looking for something premium and special. I especially appreciate that the owner, Kim, who is delightful and has an eye for assembling memorable gifts, thinks about serving the community through the store. She told me, "Everyone who comes into a candy shop comes in smiling." So, it's nice to have a place in mind to come in smiling. Kim makes that easy" - Craig C.

"This place is a gem! What a treat! A nostalgic and warm feeling coming out of this place. They have an elaborate spread, candies from the 80s to curated chocolates from local chocolatiers. There is also a nice selection of gifts and souvenirs. If you get a chance, chat with one of the owners. I enjoyed learning about their story and their heart for the community." - Marcus L.

"Happened to walk by this shop that recently opened. The owner/shopperson stepped out when we walked in so we did some browsing. They have a cute collection of gifts. When she returned she told us they just got the Feve cocktail chocolates so I got a box since the price was what Feve charged. The chocolates were very good. Since I bought the chocolates, she gave me a sample of soap, a small card, and a 2022 Pacific real estate calendar (that's available outside in the plaza). I was tempted to get a Little Pine Artistry card too but she closed up shop a few minutes before 4p so maybe next time!" - Diana B.

"What a treat! Every kind of sweet for every different taste. The selection of chocolate is amazing. It's so much fun seeing the candy you grew up with that you rarely see in the grocery store anymore. They also have a great little selection of gifts and souvenirs. Kim is so warm and helpful and the level of customer service can't be topped. It's the perfect place to take someone, including yourself, for a special treat." - Patricia W.

"I came to to check out this store after seeing adorable Facebook ads featuring a young lady named Maddy. The pseudo commercials were the cutest things, I had to check it out. The day before Easter I realized I did not have anything special for the baskets, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to check out the Sweets shop. The owner (I think) helped me build 3 baskets and kept with my my budget. Each basket was adorable and filled with goodies. The sweets shop even threw in free peeps and the grass for the baskets. I can't wait to go back and find more delicious treats!" - JoBeth B.

"I have visited this delightful candy shop on many of my visits to Pacifica. Kim, the owner, is friendly, generous, community-thinking, and I immensely enjoyed the mini-tour of her shop and seeing the various candies and chocolates. Kim takes great pride in the many confections offered and has a wide variety to choose from for the casual to those looking for something high quality and special. Kim particularly has an eye for putting together a gift for that significant other or VIP. I remember when I met her she said that "everybody that comes to a candy shop comes with a smile." Rockaway Beach Gifts & Sweets is that kind of spot and Kim makes that easy." - Craig C.

"Best candy and gift shop in town, I absolutely loved the store, and its unique gifts selection, specially the stickers and the beautiful greeting cards. My favorite are the chocolate cover caramels, you have to listen to Kim, one of the owners, and put the whole thing in your mouth, if you do not want caramel all over you, and the chocolate bars, there is something for everyone, you can find vegan chocolate bars, and sugarless candy. Can't wait to go back!" - Miriam B.

"I visited Rockaway Beach Gifts and Sweets this morning for the first time and definitely not my last. I was able to get chocolates for a couple gifts I needed along with the cutest owl stuffed animal for a baby shower gift. So many cute plush toys to choose from. Yes managed to get myself a few sweet treats and throw back candy for my son. I would recommend this place for sweet treats and the perfect gifts." - April D.

"This is my happy place. I am filled with joy walking in and out. Kim and Lynn are very helpful and made us feel welcome. I live in San Francisco and have been here twice in one month. I highly recommend the licorice and sour gummies. The dark chocolate caramel tasted heavenly. If you are looking for sweet gift ideas, this is the place to go. I am definitely going back for Christmas." - Kathy D.
