McCord Candies is one of the finest places in the city to get any type of guilty pleasure. Â The selection of chocolates is quite adequate and they also have a fine selection of fruit candies as well.
Other than just candy, they also have a dine-in menu for lunch only. Â The food is tasty and the drink selections are phenomenal. Â My personal favorite drink there is a Green River which is quite refreshing.
The atmosphere is very casual and relaxing. Â If you want to go somewhere for lunch and can't decide, stop at McCord Candies!
Three others & myself walked in 10 minutes before closure & the soda jerk was sweet & still let us take our time to make our purchases-2 ice creams & 2 orders of various candies. I didnt have the icecream but the waffle cones looked amazing! Wish I'd had more time to enjoy a soda or something else special! Id give more stars if there were more candy options & if the ambiance was a step more special/unique.
This shop has good chocolates, not great. I prefer a smoother chocolate to this basic recipe, but still it was good. Â I had a tiramisu truffle which tasted nothing like tiramisu - not even close. Â I was very disappointed. However, the chocolate covered marshmallow was delish though. :-)
After reading the reviews I had high hopes for this place, however I came away disappointed. To be fair, I have only been to McCords once and grabbed their box of chocolate varieties. These chocolates were a huge let down. I am not a chocolate expert, but the quality of the chocolate seemed very poor. However, the real problem was that the chocolate was way too sugary, even the dark chocolate pieces. The combination of the sugary chocolate and the sugary filling made it even worse. Also, the whole thing tasted very artificial. Maybe I got a bad batch and their other items are good?
Review Source:It's a candy shoppe and soda fountain!
My soda jerk had some great suggestions on sprucing up my diet Coke. Turned out to be a super yummy chocolate-covered-cherry-diet-Coke. :o) The sundae was hard to eat because it was out of a tall Styrofoam cup, but it was "to-go", so I can't say much.
Bought some candies for my rents: dark chocolate covered jellies were top notch. surgar-free turtles were "eh", even for sugar-free, but I learned those are not made in-house, so I won't fault them for it. They also have classic candies and Sixlets by the mini-jar! Awesome, to say the least.
The buzz is that the candy canes during fall/winter are awesome! I'll be back to see if it is true or not.
This place had a very nostalgic feel. Â I liked the way it looked inside and out. Â My wife and I came here because we had a sweet tooth. Â We ordered a cookie, it was big enough to share. Â It was really good. Â Washed it down with some root beer, which was also good. Â The girls that were working that day were very friendly. Â The next time we're in Lafayette, we will have to make another stop here for some more treats.
Review Source:I love the old-fashioned feel of this place. They have a big variety of hand-made candies. You may want to try them all, but at $8/lb. you have to limit yourself!
Snappers are my personal favorite! They are giant turtle candies that taste absolutely amazing.
My only complaint is that the staff is a bunch of high school girls who aren't very professional. It kind of ruins the atmosphere. Also, I wouldn't order the food there. It's greasy diner food.
A small town gem.
Still rolling candy canes and crafting chocolates by hand, McCord's is a step into the 1950's.
The variety of the chocolates is huge, but the quality of the chocolate itself seems to be a bit sub-par. Â They're not bad, just more sugary than something like Fannie May. Â More sugarry, less chocolatey. Â Not my preference, but maybe yours.
Certainly worth a try.
