Lammes Candies

Came in on Monday to do some shopping. The mall was quiet. Got what I needed and thought I would get some candy on my way out. I use to shop in Round Rock. Sadly the woman on duty was more interested on what was on her phone than helping me. When she finally realized I was there, she put her phone in her apron and clearly wasn’t happy to help. At that point I should have left. I picked out a critter and longhorn and some others. Almost $ 10 for a few pieces. Small pieces. Prices are too high and service from the manager, as I finally saw her tag, was horrible. I will not come back to buy candy here.

I was here to purchase chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine’s Day. You can’t go wrong with there strawberries. They are the best. They have the best chocolate. Well all of there candies are delicious. I’m always happy with what I purchase here.

While much smaller than the stand alone shop on Anderson, this location is just as good and much more convenient for some.

Lammes used to be a force to be reckoned with, sadly no more. Counter help was rude, candy was way overpriced and the fudge I bought tasted like it sat out for weeks. Never again.

Spending more time at the mall than I wanted searching for a Christmas outfit, I decide to find my way out. Then it magically appeared next to me, a beacon of light in a dismal shopping experience.
Hello Chocolate, I love you.
It was my birthday treat to myself. Four dark chocolate covered raspberry jellies, six assorted dark chocolate truffles. I didn’t even wait until I got to the car to dig in. Oh, so good. No, I didn’t eat them all at once.
My only gripe was they tossed them into a bag instead of those little boxes.

ok Valentines Weekend has started :-)
my review of this yummi place wont be about actually being at one… from what i can see 5 locations in Austin and 2 in Round Rock… but just about how good the chocolatre is…
today the mailman arrived carrying a nice white box adressed to ME !!
upon opening i find 2… yes… 2 boxes of wonderful Texas treats…
box 1: Texas Chewie Pecan Pralines… nice sized squares of Texas Pecans covered in gooey praline… i had to try one… its Valentines Weeked yanno… and it would be rude not to try out a gift :-) filled with pecans and the praline candy tastes like butter… so so good
box 2: Texas Longhorns… up here known as turtles… loads of caramel and chocolate over Texas pecans… having to try one again as not to be rude :-) … my teeth sink into some of the best caramel i have ever tasted… and full of pecans…
chocolate and pecans… what a great way to start off Valentines Weekend :-)
and this has nothing to do with the candy… but…also there was a cool Austin Sno-​Globe :-) shake it and not only cool glitter falling over Austin landmarks, the UT Tower, State Capital, the 360 bridge, etc, but the world famous Austin bats flying around… all to the tune of *Deep in the Heart of Texas :-)
and for you Texas ex-​pats here in Chicago, check the website because they will ship these Texas goodies anywhere… now if only Torchy’s would ship me some tacos :-)
thanks sweetie
