    LOVE THIS PLACE! We have received several gift baskets from this place, and I wanted to check it out myself! It is decorated so nicely, and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. There is a wide selection of candies and goodies to use in a gift basket. They will make the gift baskets for you also! Their puffed corn is addictive! I was also surprised to see they have KETO desserts! This is a huge hit as I am now Keto while battling cancer. If you want great candy for yourself or need to get a gift basket, this is the place to go!

    How cute are these house and heart chocolates. Smooth flavor too. A suprise delivery today.

    Perhaps this place was once a gem but no longer. Recipes are uninteresting and are likely not home made. Disappointment

    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.

This beloved Lafayette institution, which has graced our community for over two decades, truly lives up to its name, carrying forward a legacy of cherished family recipes, reputedly from the original 'Mammaw.' My recent dinner visit was a delightful experience, with the cozy atmosphere (9/10) providing the perfect backdrop for indulging in their incredible confections. The food quality here is consistently outstanding (9/10), and the custom cakes for events are simply works of art. However, the absolute must-try, and what truly stands out, are the Fancy Cupcakes--each a little masterpiece of flavor and decoration. It's clear that everything is made with passion and precision. The service (10/10) from Tina and her team is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making every guest feel valued. From the moment you arrive, you sense the dedication to quality and customization. If you're looking for something truly special, this is the place to go. The value (9/10) for such high-quality, handcrafted treats is excellent. I absolutely will be returning to Mammaw's Sweet Shop for more sweet delights. Pro-Tip: Parking is easy to find

She scheduled the delivery for a specific time and included a lovely personal note. Unfortunately, the cake was never delivered and was returned to the store. When my wife went to ask what happened, she was told that delivery was not their responsibility because they use a third-party service. However, we ordered and paid Nothing Bundt Cakes directly, including the delivery fee. From a customer's perspective, the delivery service they choose is still part of the service they sell. My wife asked to speak with a manager but was told no manager was available. We returned again to resolve the issue, and once again there was no manager. When I said I wanted to wait and speak with one, the employee repeatedly insisted that we leave instead of helping us find a solution. I cannot comment on the quality of their cakes because, despite paying for one, we never got to try it. What I can say is that if you are planning a surprise or special occasion using scheduled delivery from this location, be cautious. A failed delivery can mean more than just missing a cake--the special moment itself may be lost. In our case, what should have been a happy surprise became a frustrating and unpleasant experience. Mistakes happen. What was most disappointing was the lack of responsibility and effort to make things right.

You get the dang salted chocolate chip cookie; plus a honey, fig and pecan scone; plus a pecan sable-type cookie, just to round everything out. I couldn't help myself! There are just too many delicious-looking things at this bakery. The delicious things were being made right there behind the counter, so everything was fresh. They also had cupcakes, frosted cookies, rugelach, baklava, sandwich cookies and biscotti. The salted chocolate chip cookie was indeed amazing, but I really loved the pecan sable cookie, which crumbled nicely and melted in my mouth. I love a good sandy cookie. The people behind the counter were friendly and patient while I made my very important choices of what to get.

Today I came back to buy cookies for my family. Their Christmas cookies are gorgeous, huge and delicious. I really love the fact they are not really sweet. You can tell the products here are made with high quality ingredients and care to produce a high quality product. Their regular cookies and scones are excellent too. You cannot get baked goods like this at your regular bakery or grocery store. Stop by their little shop in lovely downtown Lafayette Indiana. It's a hidden gem. While you're there check out all the other fabulous locally owned small businesses in the downtown area. Lafayette is so lucky to have wonderful small businesses like Scones and Doilies!
