Lammes Candies at Airport Blvd

Made my annual trek to Lammes to grab some gifts! Lots of pre wrapped boxes to pick from this time of year. The sugar free longhorns are a favorite for my father so picked up those and some regular sugar ones as well! Also grabbed my favorite chewy pecan pralines as I can't pass those up. Everyone working was friendly and ready to help. I was rang up and out the door in no time!

This was such a great little shop to visit. The staff was very helpful and the candy was delicious and very reasonably priced. I was impressed at the quality of the pralines and they will make a great gift for friends this holiday season! Definitely worth a stop when in Austin.

I got a box of various chocolates. Recommendations are the salted Hawaiian chocolate and the jelly dark chocolate. Great pricing and high quality chocolate!

The milk chocolate pecan praline was old and was told they were fresh everyday. I know when chocolate looks and taste old. Came to Austin 1 time in 10 years and was excited to have this and was disappointed. Only giving an extra star is bc the lady was at least nice

The chocolate truffles tasted just like in my childhood: fresh filling, crunchy shell, happy end note. It was an amazingly wonderful experience and a very nice confectionery to visit. Always wanted to stop by and so happy that I did. And a customer service made my visit extra pleasant.

Very nice old-school candy shop.

Willy Wonka would love this iconic candy shop located within a very large candy factory. Nice little shop area attached and open to the public. With lots of Lamme’s chocolates as well as other types of good old fashioned candies and flavors. Many items sold by weight, so you can buy as few or as many as you like. Others sold in boxes. You can even “build your own box” by mixing and matching your favorites. Peanut brittle, assorted “fruit” slices, mint kisses, swedish fish, gummies, milk chocolate covered strawberries, and dark chocolate covered grapes when in season! Special sale dates (see calendar). Gifts, stuffed toys, and novelty items too. Since 1885! (That’s almost 140 years!) Classic candy factory and shop!

We stopped in just to see what they had. For a small retail area they did have a lot of options. Staff was very knowledgeable and very helpful. If your looking for a sweet gift this is the place. Everything we've eaten so far has been wonderful. We had only gotten two of each...wish we would have gotten 4!

Liam's candies has been around for 140 years! This is the mothership location. It's still rocks. Their locally made candies or delicious and uniquely their own. This time of year brings request for family favorites the chocolate bowls and cherry sours, along with the longhorns and pecan pralines all simply delicious. Other times during the year they have chocolate covered strawberries they sell by the dozen, which were just incredible. If you have not experienced slams, you need to check them out. Service is attentive, professional, and interactive.

You know, I am almost positive I wrote a review like 5 years ago when I first visited the shop. Now that I live here, it's a go-to when people come to visit or when I want to buy a special gift for someone locally or at home. They offer shipping so I often send candy to folks back on the East Coast. The service is great. The shop is great, candy for all the eye to see. And it smells so yummy. I am a literal kid in a candy store when I'm there. They are known for their pralines (among other candy offerings) and it isn't hard to understand why. The finest ingredients go into making this confectionary and I bet ya the number one ingredient is love. Because you can taste it in every bite.

Lammes Candies has been in Austin since 1885 and offers a variety of confections. Today, the fifth generation of the Lamme family continues the legacy of world famous confections. Lammes Candies is now a full-line candy company offering more than 1,000 items. They are primarily known for their current bestseller, the world famous "Texas Chewie Pecan Praline," My all time favorite are the chocolate covered strawberries. They do not sell them all the time, but allow for special orders throughout the year. They also sell dark chocolate covered grapes which are amazing as well. I was able to place a preorder for them on their website and then stop by the store location to pick them up when ready.

I love me some Lammes. Now this was an adventure to get here. I had assumed the one in Lakeline Mall was still open, but it's not. I drove to the Anderson Lane location, but no. I'm like, what's going on? Then I remember this location, which I actually thought was the warehouse, but I went anyway. Imagine my surprise when I glanced in the window to see all the chocolate on display. I think I even did a little laugh when I walked inside. I think the lady who worked there thought I was crazy and quickly asked me if I needed any help. I told her I wanted my chocolate-covered pecans. I would have gotten more goodies, but the lady in front of me was purchasing the whole store. So I just bought a bag of my favorites and said I'll be back.

Lammes is one of those old school Austin institutions that all too often gets passed by. While out shopping for gifts for hard to buy for in-laws, I decided to stop into Lammes for their signature longhorn chocolate candies. The ladies were so kind and welcoming and happy to help me with choosing a gift. There was staff actively filling boxes by hand, which goes to show how much love goes into each box. Their selection is great, with lots of options for hand-picked assorted boxes, as well as a ton of pre-packed and sealed boxes.

I was extremely disappointed in everything I bought. First I love their candies, I worked Ed for one of their commercial accounts. The candy was always fresh and delicious. It was my best friend's birthday and I wanted to surprise her with her favorite6 from there the Longhorns. I got her that and I purchased a bag of the malt balls/milk duds. Both were stale. Went and exchanged and my friend informed me a little time later that they were also stale.

Service was friendly and Lamme's candy is awesome. If you haven't had Lamme's pralines you don't know what you're missing. This is a great place to get client gifts and for those that have everything.

Beautiful and yummy sweets! Sweet ladies to welcome you in the shop, help find the perfect item, and package up your candy or gift to purchase! I will be back for soft peppermints when it is cold outside!

Really really nice candy store large variety. The candy we selected with delicious prices are reasonable good service.

We went here for a dozen chocolate covered strawberries and they were delicious in and out quickly Friendly staff great place

I love candy stores and this one is pretty good. I'm always looking for soft mint candy and this store is always out! But I will keep trying. I. The meantime my husband and I will enjoy all of the chocolate choices that they offer. The staff are very friendly and the store smells good. I love the selection.

Cute candy shop, my husband bought about 15 different chocolate variations and said they were all really good. They have some small stuffed animals as well, I bought a little llama. The sour belt candy is VERY sour but the grape sours we're unfortunately not sour at all. The employees were friendly. I took some screenshots from a video I took so they're a little blurry. Clean place.

Lovely selection of chocolates and candies! Many of the boxes are ready to give as gifts, but you must get some for yourselves! Their chocolates are known internationally and with good reason. The pecan cluster longhorns are a favorite, but you have to try their taffy candies, gummy fruit slices, truffles, hard candies, ginormous jaw breakers, and everything is so good! Yes, they have a sugar-free selection.

Best chewy pralines in Texas!!! Reasonably priced and outstanding taste! The carmelitos are also amazing as well as the peanut butter chews.

Lammes Candies is such a cool place. They the best pecan clusters which I've always called Longhorns. I'm not sure if Lammes coined that term but I know they use it. Every time I've been here the employees seemed to be having an amazing time and couldn't wait to help me. It's almost like something out of Willie Wonka. The last time I was here I was on the way back from my daughters swim lessons and she asked for a lolly pop. I happened to see Lammes out of the corner of my eye so we whipped in. Sure enough they had a giant rainbow lolly pop that met all her needs and brought joy to her life. If you're rolling by Lammes Candies and stop you wont regret it.

Wonderful as always. Small store practically looks like willy wonka's factory, you'll find so much here!

Stumbled upon this gem while on our way to another meal. We were greeted warmly by the manager and she was quick to explain how the candy is made on premises and has been for a very long time! We were given a sample of the praline and instantly fell in love. We selected a ton of candy and chocolate, in addition to the pralines and were on our way. All of the flavors were delicious. Really like the coffee toffee chocolate, as well as the champagne truffle (so rich) and the caramel chocolate was to die for. A lot of the products are made with nuts here, which makes me happy. The combination of the crunch and the chewy sweetness really made me feel satisfied. I will for sure come back here....plus they also ship!

Classic sweets shop with a retro vibe. I got a 1/2 lb box with an assortment of chocolates. The chocolate quality is nice and I especially like their caramel, it's not too sticky and the flavor is really rich.

This place is awesome! Love that it's in the old, original building, has so much character. It has that fun, candy shop feel, a great selection and wonderful chocolate and other candies. The lady that was working there when we went so super sweet and the candy isn't too terribly expensive. Great place to bring visting family from out of town for a treat.

Another Austin tried and true classic. Have a gift to give the staff? Show some class...their turtles are second to none, and you could not get much more Austin!

This place is awesome! We have had their chocolate covered strawberries before but never came to the store in person. We enjoyed it thoroughly and will be coming back again when the strawberries are available around Valentine's Day!

30 years ago I was a regular customer here because as a college kid, I couldn't afford full-price Lammes candies -- none of us could!! It was NEVER a problem finding someone with a car to transport us from Jester. The shop was a friendly and clean place with good prices and lots of discounted selection, and it is the same today, even though I don't have to confine myself to the 50% off seconds and mislabels anymore. Lammes makes the best caramel of any candy maker anywhere, and if you haven't had it or can't get it, I'm sorry. :( That's a tragedy. As a Texan, Lamme's Longhorns are a birthright, and I do indulge. 5 stars!!

do-do-do-do-do LAMMES! do-do-do-do-do hand dipped Cho-Co-LATE do-do-do-do-do LAMMES!!! (ssss-weet! ssss-weet!) SO DIPPIN' GOOD!!!! Thank you, Lammes, you beautiful doll, for this song, which will stay with me always, and for the vast bounty of your sugared and artificially-sweetened offerings, which will last me three days if I'm good. God Bless.

Chocolate covered strawberries, Longhorns Zander pralines. So delicious, took home and to my daughters Vball team. They absolutely loved everything. Will definitely grab some things from here in the future.

Is there anything better than Lamme's Candies? Is there anything more Austin than Lamme's??? No, no there isn't. Candy, candy, and more candy. I love their gummy fruit slices. They were my favorite as a kid but a rare treat...nostalgia at it's finest. If you ever get a chance to grab some chocolate covered strawberries, do it. They're seasonal and difficult to get BUT it will change your life and raise your standards for such items. Grab a chewy pecan praline. This is my go to treat for out of town friends. It never disappoints and for $1.20 a piece, can't hardly beat it. Better than a post card, for sure.

I have bought holiday gifts here for over 20 years, but this year I will be looking for a new, local business to support. I stopped in today to buy some pre-wrapped candy boxes, and I waited in line to check out while the two clerks inefficiently walked around wrapping gifts and doing mailings for the few customers before me (tip: have one clerk check out customers ready to go, and one do custom wrapping and mailings, otherwise, why even bother with pre-wrapping?). They never acknowledged us in line, even as people behind me left in frustration. After about 20 minutes, my child asked a clerk to use the restroom. She was told to walk down the street to the car dealership and ask if they had a bathroom. She is 5 years old. They have what must be a 10,000 square foot building. We were in line to buy over $200 worth of candy. I was flabbergasted, and I asked the clerk myself if she had a restroom for my 5 year old to use. She said no. We left without completing our purchase, feeling completely unappreciated and frustrated. For a place that sells so many items for children, they sure seem to not actually want children or families in their store.

This place is dangerous great candy everything looks and tastes great habanero praline out standing

i don't really care for pecans and pralines. I went in to purchase pecan turtles to bring back to Hawaii as gifts. the clerk explained that the pecan pralines are the best sellers so i purchase 1 candy just to try and ended up changing my purchase to many boxes. pecans are crisp and light -- i guess it must just be super fresh because i normally don't care for the aftertaste of pecans but this didn't have any. Also feel that pralines are way to sweet and sugary but not this one. butter, low sweet and light crispy nut flavor. YUMMY!!!!!

After having recently discovered Kegg's Candies in Houston http://www.yelp.com/biz/keggs-candies-houston-2#hrid:8J_bi9wrO_LilcIQ9ety2w , I was totally psyched to come across Lammes Candies. Lammes is twice as old as Kegg's Candies. As I read the history, I learned that the founder lost the business in a game of poker. Someone was really bluffing when they offered that in the money pot. Fortunately, the family regained ownership of the business, his son purchased the business from the new owner for $800 bucks. More about Lammes Candies https://lammes.com/about_lammes.php A ginormous red and white candy cane fit for a 30 foot Christmas tree, stood at an angle against the store front. I could tell at a quick glance that the color scheme inside must be red and white just like Kegg's Candies. A few snaps of the camera, I was eagerly grabbing the door to enter to a world of sweets. Counter after counter contained neat rows of assorted chocolates. I decided to conduct a little experiment to compare the flavors of Lammes Candies to Kegg's Candies. The friendly hostess was kind enough to let me charge my camera battery in an electrical outlet while I gazed at the merchandise. The wall on left featured small stuffed animals, like beany babies. The rows featured prepackaged chocolates. Behind the counter, a large section of gifts featuring Long Horns colors and symbols, given its proximity to U of Texas it doesn't surprise me in hindsight. I had a positive surprise after the hostess rang up my order. My total was less than $4.00. I was expecting to pay twice that. I have been to so many chocolatiers in the Houston area. It's so easy to pay $2 per truffle. The Taste Test Results: How did it stack up against Kegg's Candies? 1. Orange, it was subtle flavor with pale orange creamy interior 2. Amaretto, barely noticable flavor yet very decadent treat. 3. Cherry, I tried Strawberry in its place, fushia color medium flavor I tried another one for fun. The chewy sweet coconut center of the coconut chocolate reminded me of an Almond Joy. And I like almond joy, so this treat was nice. Though the flavor of Lammes Candies chocolates were less intense in flavor than Kegg's Candies, I still loved the place, the candies, and the history. There are so many things I didn't try, that I will have to stop by another time for some more.

We bought peanut brittle at Christmas for my 89 year old father. He *loved* it so much. Since my mom passed away he craves her peanut brittle and none of us can accomplish the perfection of her peanut brittle, except Lamme's!! Thank you for fulfilling my dad's wish list.

It is almost unfair how good the chocolate strawberries are from Lammes. I've been eating them nearly all my life. I rarely miss an opportunity to purchase them since they only come around a handful of times annually. I really think Lammes has perfected the chewy pecan praline. There are so many ways to make a praline, and Lammes variety is my favorite. I could go on for pages about how much I love Lammes candies, but it's not necessary. Lammes is an Austin institution. So many stores and restaurants that use to represent Austin are long gone. Fortunately, Lammes is still around. I'll always love Lammes, and you can count on seeing me there on a Thurs, Fri or Sat when their choc strawberries are on sale. You can double the validity of that statement when it's Father's Day and they have the once annually DARK chocolate strawberries. Short story: I LOVE LAMMES CANDIES!!

I recently went here to get presents for grad school references. I hadn't ordered anything from a candy store before, so naturally I had a TON of questions and a rather unusual situation where I am shipping to multiple people in multiple states. The staff was extremely courteous and answered each of my questions, often running to the back to find information out for me. They never got exacerbated and were friendly, patient, and professional the entire time. To top it off, they allowed me to taste the different chocolates that I was ordering. Growing up in Texas, I can say that pralines are not usual my favorite thing. Their Chewy Pecan Pralines are amazing. Not to sweet with a chewy caramel-like consistency, they were a great gift item. Combined with the Longhorns I also ordered, I am extremely excited for these gifts. I highly recommend Lammes. Professional staff with a quality product. Can't beat it.

Friendly local candy maker! They've got lots and lots of chocolate if you like that, but I love the old fashioned jars of the gummy candy, rock sugar, and other miscellaneous goodies which decorate the counter :)

When we realized we were in the area of Lamme's Candies I convinced my fiance to go. Though really it didn't take much convincing. Just a quick "hey this are looks familiar, aren't we near Lammes? You want to go?". And his response as a quick "Hell Yea!". We'd seen Lammes candies on one of our first days in Austin, but didn't stop in b/c we were in a hurry. We are never near this area of town, but took the opportunity today to check it out. It was a great little candy shop, but honestly I was a little disappointed. The chocolate was good- but nothing outstanding. We each had two pieces (me- a Hawaiian sea salt chocolate caramel and a long horn- which is like a Turtle. He has a Krispy Klaw and some sort of plain pecan with chocolate thing). It tasted good- but nothing over the top amazing and I though for 4 small pieces of candy it was a bit pricy ($3). If I had to choose between this and Big Top= Big Top wins, no contest!

Place is pretty awesome. Great selection of treats and sweets. Everything here is good, so feel free act like a kid in a candy store and get a little bit of everything. You won't be disappointed.

Best candy in town. We used them as wedding favors for our February 24th wedding. They had to go from working day and night to prepare Valentine's Day packages, to baking our candies. But they did it all, got it done promptly, and were a HUGE hit with our guests!!! We did a His & Hers favor - chocolate turtle for Hers, pecan praline for His. Guests were asking to have multiple. Also, super nice people.

Lamme's was like finding something awesome on the Discovery channel. Due to various health issues, I can no longer eat refined sugar. Bring on the sugar free treats! Lamme's has an entire row of sugar free candies in their display counter. My friend and I always have to try and restrain ourselves from getting too much since the prices are very reasonable. But the best part of all is that Lamme's sugar free chocolates don't give you that "run for the border", so to speak, experience. My friend talked to the woman who is usually working the counter and she said they only use maltitol in their sugar free items and don't add other sugar alcohols, which is apparently what the companies they sell, at say, the local drugstore, use. My stomach never wants to beat me up after eating the Lamme's candies. I've especially enjoyed the raspberry jelly, chocolate covered cherry, peanut butter truffle and the macadamia caramel cluster, all sugar free. No, it's not health food, but it's a great treat.

As far as I'm concerned, one of the original "shop local" options. And where else would you go for chocolate covered strawberries?

Lammes is a classic candy store known for their nutty, carmely, chocolaty, Longhorns. Can you tell I'm a fan? One of my other favorites at Lammes is their truffle selection. I think they had about a dozen options so you'll find one (or a dozen) that you like. They also have a ton of other candy selections, gift baskets and stuffed animals so you put together a present for any random occasion. Every time I have been in they've had a bunch of UT themed stuff so it would be a great stop for grad gifts.

Made it in 10 minutes before closing time. Love the pralines! If you buy them individually instead of in the box, it's much cheaper.

5 stars isn't enough for this candy shop heaven! Everything is made on site, try the Longhorns!

I love the quality candies at Lamme's, and usually visit the Airport Road location for Christmas gifts, because boxes are pre-wrapped. This year, I had an experience similar to Julie G. Many shoppers were waiting, but several of us gave up and left because the two clerks were spending all their time waiting on customers needing special service while those hoping to make a speedy purchase of "grab-and-go" items were left holding our stacks of boxes for at least 20 minutes. Great products, but store needs to hire extra help for holidays or revise service policies.

I decided to get holiday gifts for my co-workers at Lamme's this year. This is such a sweet little shop (no pun intended)! The selections are lots of fun. I noted there were plenty of old favorites like chocolate covered pralines, and some newer candies like dark chocolate with caramel and sea salt. There was definitely something for everyone, and the shopping trip was ten times more fun than any mall experience I've had to endure. I am looking forward to some delicious chocolate covered strawberries this Valentine's day!

I had some pumpkin cheesecake fudge! It was delicious! Employees were fairly quick and parking was not an issue. Ill be back next time I have a sweet tooth!

Woooowwww!!! so delicious! great idea for gifts, the store has plenty of options for all your sweet tooth needs. highly recommend.

I stopped into Lammes on my way to the airport and was very pleased to see Texas-shaped chocolates. They had a good variety, but nothing else particularily stuck out as far as anything amazing.

IT has been a Christmas Tradition to get a box of Pecan chocolate boxes Lamme's candy box - cannot recall the name right now ; however they look like Turtles. Delicious treats that our family has been receiving for years my husbands' Grandma every single year. She passed away last year on 12.28.10. But tradition cannot stop there, so I will be sending our family this every year now going forward. May you Connie Rudd rest knowing your sharing spirit still lives on, Love Anayansi Wilson.

Being from Houston, this place caught my eye since the parking lot was packed. The small store front was crowded. I didnt realize it was the day before Valentines Day! They had everyone form a line and once they asked what I was looking for, I let them know I was from out of town. Then, they made me feel special. Despite how busy they were, the hostess took the time to give me a quick tour of their store and their candy showcase. Awesome customer service!!!! I was looking for a variety of candy for all the members of my family and they helped me fulfill that. The candy was VERY good. The chocolate almonds were awesome, the pralines were delicious and the candy fruit was great. The peanut butter cups had the chocolate a little too thick but not too rich. Haven't looked into it but hope they have online ordering, :D

Was on a trip to go thru the caverns in Va. and had stopped in W. Va. to see a classmate from years ago. He took to a local store and I found your divinty and as soon as I opened it and tasted it I went back to my Western Pa. home and Mom and Grandma made home made divinty and what I had bought was so close in taste that they could have made it. Just sent birthday gifts of divinty to my son and bro-in-law and am sure they will find it as good as I did. Will be going back for more many times. R E Loffert Niagara Falls NY
