What Sets Lammes Candies Apart: A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Care

For over a century, Lammes Candies has stood as a hallmark of excellence in the confectionery world—an enduring testament to the craftmanship, tradition, and integrity that define our family-owned company. Since opening our doors in 1885, we have remained deeply rooted in the values that inspired our founding: dedication to quality, reverence for time-honored techniques, and a commitment to creating confections that spark joy across generations.

At Lammes, candy-making is more than a business—it is a legacy. Now in its fifth generation of family ownership, our company carries forward a heritage steeped in purpose and pride. Every caramel, truffle, and pecan praline is a product of carefully preserved recipes and methods refined through the decades. We do not rush the process, because we believe excellence takes time. That philosophy is reflected in the way we create our confections, the way we source our ingredients with care, and the way we uphold traditions that have delighted customers for over 140 years.

Our attention to detail is unmatched. Whether it's creating delectable truffles that encapsulate a burst of flavor or ensuring each piece of our signature Longhorns features the perfect balance of buttery caramel and crisp pecans, we treat every batch with precision. From packaging to presentation, every element is thoughtfully considered. This meticulousness not only preserves our high standards—it ensures that every gift of Lammes feels special, purposeful, and beautifully made.

But it’s not just the process that distinguishes us—it’s the product. We take pride in using only the finest ingredients, from smooth, velvety chocolate to Texas-sourced pecans. Our candies are crafted in small batches in our Austin candy kitchen, where freshness is paramount and flavor reigns supreme. Customers often tell us that a single bite of our confections brings back cherished memories—a testament to the quality and consistency that define our brand.

Furthermore, exceptional service is at the heart of who we are. Whether you're calling our team with a special request, visiting one of our stores, or placing an order for a loved one across the country, we strive to make every interaction warm, personal, and memorable. Our staff takes genuine pride in making sure customers feel seen and appreciated—from helping you pick out the perfect assortment to hand-wrapping your gift with care. We frequently hear from customers who return not only for the confections, but for the kindness and connection they experience with us.
