They have a spacious seating area indoors but when it's nice out I prefer to sit outside even if it's on the rocks. Parking in this area is congested and sometimes hard to find but you'll always find a spot. We got there and it was busy but while we ordered and paid the line was almost out the door. It gets so busy and they're open until 11 which is great. Also located on campus. Even though it gets busy it moves fast. If you see a line don't be afraid it moves!

We found this gem during our visit to West Lafayette and definitely one of the best ice creams we…read morehad. The ice creams tasted so fresh and amazing taste. They got more than 30 flavors and lot of items to choose from. They dont offer samples, but the scoops are generous. We can see lot of locals out there. The store is well maintained and clean. The staff is friendly and patient. It is 15 to 20 minutes' drive from Lafayette hotel area but definitely worth the drive. Sufficient parking shared with other shops on this small strip mall. They have indoor and outdoor seating too. Perfect stop for a hot day and grab an ice cream!! Definitely worth trying this spot dont miss out.

The thing to get at McCord Candies is the marshmallow Coke, apparently. This is what I was told by…read morea local who I was visiting with, who chose, as his treat, a soda over the thousand other sweet things available at this old-fashioned candy store. The sodas are served with rabbit-turd ice (unquestionably the best kind of ice). And they are made with real syrups and stirred together, like they used to do back in the olden days when the world was black and white, and the people behind the counter creating your drink were called soda jerks. You can also order a soda with other flavors stirred in, like butterscotch, chocolate, cucumber, cherry, lavender and the like, plus phosphates, floats, malts, Italian cream sodas, dirty sodas, freezes, tea, lemonade, ice cream scoops, sundaes and shakes. If it's sweet and you can drink it or let it melt in your mouth, they can probably make it here for you behind the soda counter at McCord Candies. You'll also find candy and chocolates, of every variety and permutation imaginable. Many of the candies and chocolates are made in-house, like their candy canes, which you can see being made right in front of you around the holidays. If you like sweets, you will find something here. Take your goodies to go, or you can go upstairs and enjoy them where there are a few tables and a nice view of the candy store below. There are also some vintage clothing and knickknacks for sale that you can peruse.

Had to call a few times to actually get someone on the phone---but totally worth it! Had the #2 chocolate with chocolate crème frosting with chocolate chips in between the layers. Super light and not too sweet. Oreos decorated the top with chocolate ganache drizzled over the edges. The cake box was very high-end and tied with pretty ribbon. Miss Sugar provided the cutest set of plastic cutlery and paper serving plates with the cake. Will definitely order again if in the Purdue U area.

I really had high hopes for this place, realizing that amongst all the choices in West Lafayette or…read moreLafayette, this was definitely a cuter smaller probably ma and pa owned place rather than the other big conglomerate of chains. I don't like giving out low or poor reviews. However, this visit was really unfortunate. Upon walking in there was no one who greeted you and when she did emerge from the kitchen, there was nothing along the lines of high welcome or good morning rather it was how many. Our waiter only came to our table once for a refill on coffee however never asked us how our meal was after it had arrived. He also did not give us the check on his little mobile machine, although we did see him give checks to other tables right next to us on his little mobile machine, if that is what I saw. they made us walk all the way back to the front in order to check out and pay. Our waiter did take the right order, which was my omelette with no cheese however, as you can see from the pictures, there was definitely cheese in this omelette. That was also disappointing. My partner ordered toast which came with his meal, and the bread was not toasted at all in fact, it looked like it was just simply taken out of the bag. The eggs also were not fresh eggs. He definitely came out of a carton. The country fried steak he ordered was definitely not steak as well. The only thing that really went well were my hashbrowns because they were toasted on the top part. The coffee here unfortunately tasted like brown hot water. the place photographs well, with all the hanging florals this unfortunately really missed the ball and missed the point. It was a huge waste of money and they really need to work on service and food here. If you have other choices for breakfast, please go somewhere else because this is very disappointing. Our waiter was not attentive. When we saw someone cleaning a table that it really wasn't being cleaned it was simply being cleared out. No cleaning tools or cleaning fluids were used at all in the process of cleaning. I didn't think anyone could really ruin breakfast orders, but they definitely managed to do it.

At first I thought it was cheese which I was so excited for but sadden to learn it was mayonnaise. Ask for it on the side of you don't want a lot.
