Kathy’s Homemade Kandies

Stopped in for something sweet after dinner. Tons of options. Lots of truffles and chocolates made on-​site. Different homemade popcorn option. Tried the maple and bacon chocolate cake ball and a champagne truffle. Both great. Took home some packaged chocolates and popcorn.

I just moved away from Lafayette and I already miss Kathy’s cake balls! No one can top what she makes! My favorites are the Boilermaker, Fun Fetti, and lemon. They are great!
The homemade sodas are fun too! You really can’t go wrong with anything in the shop!

Kathy is a saint. A real, living, saint of chocolate and all things delicious.
She doesn’t take any sass, but will go above and beyond for her loyal customers. I’m a fan of the cake balls (any flavor, you can’t go wrong) and homemade peppermint patties. Her stock of holiday treats will blow your mind, and make all of your friends and family love you a little more during the holidays.

The shop is cute and quaint. The candy is on the top side of average. We always enjoy going into the shop however kathy is somewhat short and rude with customers. This has not happen just once but on several occasions. Although I’m sure I will not be missed but it is because of this reason that we will not be returning.

Kathy’s Homemade Kandies is full of delicious candies! I have never tried anything there that I wasn’t a fan of. My favorite thing I’ve ever had from there was a homemade marshmallow, topped with caramel, and covered in chocolate. Holy yum! Unfortunately, it’s not always on the shelves, but it makes it that much better when it is.
My only complaint about Kathy’s is the décor. The inside could use a little updating. Also, I found it a bit strange that there are no cell phone signs on each table. I was a bit nervous getting out my phone to «check-​in», but for Unilocal I was wiling to break the rules :)

Love this place! It is so cute and one of a kind with handmade chocolates and other sweets that are all amazing! I usually get their cakepops which are the perfect size and delicious!

I enjoy the tasty sweet treats offered by Kathy’s Kandies on a regular basis. It’s a quaint little shop with an assortment of chocolates, candies, sodas, etc.
One cool thing about it is the fact that they make all of the products fresh in an adjacent baking area. You can literally stand and watch Kathy make snacks while you browse the selection of products.
The only issue that I have with Kathy’s is their failure to date-​label their products. sometimes i wonder how long ago the food im eating was made. On one specific occasion i had the misfortune of eating a cookie that tasted like it was a week or two old.
If you’re in the area check out Kathy’s. They are usually open until 10:00 pm which is awesome, because you can take a walk around the downtown area after eating dinner at one of Lafayette’s fine restaurants, and end your dinner-​and-​walk with dessert at Kathy’s!
im a huge fan of the toffee and chocolate covered pretzels!

If this shop were to ever close I would be devastated. I love everything I have ever had from Kathy’s — cake balls, specialty truffles, bacon bark, whoopie pies, caramel and chocolate covered marshmallows, jelly babies, and much much more. They also make fantastic Italians sodas. Kathy is absolutely wonderful and the rest of the staff is made up of very nice people who are always wiling to chat with you and help you out. I love going to Kathy’s.

If you’ve lived in lafayette all your life you know of the one candy shop that is McCords. As i am a frequent fan of theirs, I feel like I cheated a bit by coming here but I really enjoyed what they have to offer. They have a great selection of candy, with depending on what you want fairly good priced. I even asked how much of it was homemade and she replied 90%. In most of the candies you can taste the difference between store brand and hers. My favorites are the dark chocolate sea salt caramels, the cola gummies, and the old fashioned hard candy. The only thing negative i’d say is after trying the bacon covered chocolate i was dissapointed, tasted more like cheap beef jerky but I had to try it. Its a fun shop that I plan on trying out a few more times.

Two words: cake balls. :) I work on Main Street, and I cannot resist the allure of this tasty candy shop! They have a wide variety of flavored truffles, from orange to mint to peanut butter to cheesecake, and even some sugar-​free chocolates. Their cake balls are moist and delicious. My husband doesn’t much care for chocolate, so he gets the flavored hard candies — lime, lemon, cherry, clove, spearmint, and more! He also goes for the spicy popcorn and licorice. There’s something for everyone at Kathy’s!

I have a pet peeve for misspelling of words, especially when it’s done just to be cute. Anyway. :D
Kathy’s Candies tends towards the lower end of the chocolate spectrum — think Whitman’s instead of Godiva or See’s or Vosges. It’s good for what it is — and it’s definitely made on-​premises by Kathy and her assistants. It’s just not «zomg super awesome» chocolate. Some people LOVE this kind of candy though, and so this is their place.
There was a time though when my wife and I would go in every single night and each get a chocolate mousse. She even told us her recipe; it was a very simple recipe. Of course, then we went and worked out how many calories a serving was… and we don’t get it anymore. ;)
I’ve never tried any of their drinks or anything other than their handmade chocolates. The aforementioned chocolates are good, in the genre they are.
They’ve lasted a surprisingly long time on seemingly cursed Main St Lafayette, so they must be doing something right. Not my favorite chocolate shop but definitely not bad either.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about this place before, but I’ve generally had good experiences here. They serve a variety of beverages, including smoothies, sodas, and coffee drinks. They also have a bunch of candies (of course) and lots of trinkets and stuffed animals.
While I enjoy the taste of their candy (except for the sugar-​free, but it seems that’s a universal problem), I don’t always enjoy the service. The woman who I assume is Kathy has always been friendly and helpful, but she’s acquired some help recently that I just don’t like. Snarky and sarcastic works in some venues, but a quaint little candy shop doesn’t really warrant that kind of customer service.
I’ll of course be coming back – how can I resist the champagne truffles and peanut butter fudge?
