looks awesome for the sugar-​able, but not a great selection of sugar-​free candies, so we went elsewhere.

This place has everything, from Astro pops to Pez to sugar powder to gelato (I think.). You want candy? Got a hankering for sweets and you’re in the area? This is the place to go. Located in beautiful, clean and quiet Lafayette, there’s even tables outside to suck down genuine sugar sodas while watching the world float by.

Great store! Has great items! My only complaint is the staff — if you can get someone to wait on you, they act like they are doing you a favor!

Fun store full of super sweet goodies. Chocolates, retro candies, fudge and a chocolate case that’s beautiful to see! Left with a bag of treasures that are being savored at this very moment!

Powell’s is my kids’ favorite place in Lafayette. I like strolling downtown to take them for a treat. There’s such an awesome selection of candy and gelato, we can always find something to make everyone in the family happy.

Very big gelato variety compared to most places! Peanut butter cup is a great choice, next time I will try pumpkin and the fudge they have available. Service is fast and friendly. Tons of candy bars and plenty of toys for a younger audience to enjoy themselves. Only drawback is that there’s no real seating area.

As I walked through Powell’s I felt like a 29 year old kid in a candy store.
This store carries every kind of modern and classic candies. My favorite area of the store has to be where you can fill your own bag with various candy from a huge selection against the wall. They are sorted by candy types e.g. chocolate, sour, chalky, and even an entire section for Jelly Belly.
They also have a beautiful gelato counter with about twelve different varieties. Free samples are glad given. Besides the sweets the store also carry a lot of toys and other nic-​nacs, like coffee mugs and lunch boxes.
Probably my favorite part of the store has to be the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory mural they have in the corner of the store. They have the movie playing, and the area around it is full of autographed pictures from the cast.
This is a real deal candy store.

Can I just say that I am IN LOVE with this shop! Popped in on a Thursday afternoon and was so pleasantly surprised (my favorite kind of surprises).
Lots of candy: modern, old school, classics, bulk, packaged, homemade, gummies, chocolates, lollipops, taffy. The list goes on. Also, ice cream! (Or gelato? Not sure I didn’t pay too much attention)
The guy who helped me out was so charming, knowledgable, very accommodating and friendly, definitely a plus when working in customer service! And he had a cool accent.
I left with tons of rock candy and gummies (my absolute faves) will definitely be back here!

This candy/​toy shop is really fun to walk around with tons of things to see! They sell gelatos as well as tons of other trinkets! This place really brings me back to being a kid again with some classic candies to some more exotic weird candies! They also have the old willy wonka movie playing on the side and a bench if you wanted to watch! They also open pretty late and probably one of the few places left opened at night if you are strolling around downtown Lafayette (besides restaurants). Definitely worth checking out!

Confession: I have a massive sweet tooth. And this place most definitely satisfies it. Any kind of candy you want, they have it! Even stuff you’ve never heard of before. The gelato and fancy chocolates are a nice addition to the store. Kind of pricey, but candy is always fresh.
This place is a sight to see. Floor to ceiling candy covered walls.

We love coming in here on a lazy Sunday afternoon. My kid goes crazy for the Ninja Turtle section. What 4 year old boy wouldn’t?
They make a mean Rocky Road in there candy case. I also enjoy the crazy colorful Fudge sticks they carry.
They used to have a very good selection of sugar free candy. They had unique stuff from Germany that Id never seen anywhere else. Sadly they have downsized their sugar free selection.
This is a great place to find unique gifts as well. I’m always getting a little something for a client or friend.
We still love coming here, even though my diabetic husband cant be a kid in candy store anymore. That doesn’t stop the 4 year old in the least.

You must go to this candy shop, If you love #chocolate like I do you will find the best assortment at Powell’s. I was hugely impressed and the owner is delightful.
Memories of childhood come pouring into your mind while seeing your favorite treats from way back when. I will be back soon for sure.

I love Powell’s Sweet Shoppe! It’s a throw back to all the great candy stores I grew up with in Southern California and England. They have a little bit of everything from retro candy to British candy to designer chocolate and gelato. I picked up three little designer chocolates from Chuao. The girl working the counter was super nice and the place was well stocked and tidy.

I love coming here. This place is fantastic. Not only do they have a fantastic selections of candies (traditional, by the pound, retro, taffies, and more) they also have gelato and truffles.
I love the chocolate covered gummy bears here. The truffles are delicious too. As far as chocolate bars, they have everything you could imagine, but I think they rotate the bars every once in awhile cause they used to have tea infused chocolates, but they weren’t there last time.
They’re always playing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
The workers are great too. They always have a great attitude when I’m there. They’re also open to jokes. My friend asked if they had senzu beans (from Dragon Ball Z), and the guy said they’d be coming in next week. My friend proceeded to go Super Saiyan while they guy acted like it happened all the time. When we asked him if he knew the reference, he laughed and said yes.
This is my favorite candy store, hands down.

Powell’s offers all sweets, of all kinds at all times. They even have a unique soda refrigerator, a chocolate maker, and a gelato curator. This poetic thought is just what Powell’s is worthy of. If you want something that consists of pure sugar, than this is your market.
I’ve had their gelato and Lester’s Fixins soda.
They will delight you with old novelty candy of all kinds. They will delight you with unique brands and endless kinds of jelly beans that you can get in a bag. Willy Wonka is always playing.
Powell’s is truly a good olé time, which makes it sentimental. Just remember that other good candy stores exist. Many of the items can be a little bit better individually elsewhere, but Powell’s is a good collection.

I went in at 6:30p last Saturday and it was PACKED! I felt sorry for the two employees that were working. I should think that management would be able to figure out trends and spikes and schedule better. I was very impressed with the selections of candy and unique sodas, and the chocolate in the case looked mighty tasty but I was on a mission for giant jaw breakers. I found what I wanted! It took quite awhile to get rung up, not due to lazy employees though. They were moving as fast as they could but they were overwhelmed.
Oh and news flash to parents: this is a candy store not a chuck e cheese. It’s not an appropriate place for your rug rats to run and scream and throw things wherever they please. Beware flying objects and tripping hazards.

What a treat to a colorful, sweet shoppe!
They have an abundant, wonderful candy variety and creative sweets that are quite entertaining to browse through! I felt like I was in some sort of Willy Wonka Wonderland!
They serve gelato flavors too! It was truly a delight with the warm weather to enjoy it outside!
The ambiance of this toot sweet shoppe is simply pleasant and fun! They have uniquely made candies with a bit of a funny twist to it — atypical and some a bit classic that you don’t see in corner convenience stores anymore!
I love the vibrant colors and the feel to this sweet shoppe!
