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.

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.

Not too far off the interstate & is drive-thru only. Had a large menu but unfortunately no prices listed. Saw the snacks listed too late -- they are taped up on the glass as your order (drivers side) whereas the coffee menu is to the right (passengers side). They had some delicious snack options like a meat & cheese board, but only saw after ordering. We got a chai tea latte (delicious!) and a carmel macchiato. Neither was too sweet, which is how we prefer. They gave us a pup cup upon request, filled with whipped cream & a milkbone. Service was fast & we were on our way in no time!

We ordered the ube crème brûlée drink, their signature milk tea, and an egg tart. The drinks were okay, although 50% sugar tasted more like 100% sugar at most other places. The egg tart was easily the biggest disappointment. It tasted like a frozen, reheated tart, and after one bite we realized the filling was still cold in the center. The crust wasn't crispy at all either, so paying $2.50 for it felt like a waste. Service was also disappointing. We were the only customers in the store and waited around 20 minutes, assuming they were still preparing our order, only to realize it had already been sitting ready for about 10 minutes and no one had notified us. Overall, definitely not the experience my wife remembered from years ago.
