A little reminder that if you're hoping to have an ice cream cake for Father's Day this weekend, you'll want to order now! 🍰

It takes love (and a couple of days) to prep a classic Coombs Candy ice cream cake complete with your own custom message. Plus, we can accommodate certain dietary requests (like dairy-free cakes), but only if you give us some heads up.

For you last minuters (we've all been there), we try to keep a selection of cakes in stock daily, but we can't make any guarantees on availability.

Place an order for pickup in-store, online, or even over the phone.

Dads, grads, birthdays - there's lots to celebrate in June! 🎉

Which is why, if you're looking for an ice cream cake we encourage you to order ahead!

Cakes are always available to order in store, over the phone, or through our website (https://www.shopcandy.ca/product/ice-cream-cake/37), and each cake can be decorated with a custom message written in chocolate.

Special requests (dairy free, gluten free, etc.)? Reach out to us and our team can work to make something perfect for whoever you're celebrating.

As with all good things, ice cream cakes take time, so please allow 2-3 days for your cake to be ready.

Happy celebrating!

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

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 ❤️

Mental Health Awareness Month ends in a few days --- Have you purchased your Elephant Chocolate Bar yet from Coombs Country Candy

We are so very grateful for their support and to everyone who has purchased a chocolate bar --- Thank you 🫶🫶🫶

"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."
