As for the smell, she sometimes orders or reheats her lunch in the back. Since she’s open 7 days a week from morning to evening, she doesn’t have a lot of spare time! Plus it’s so rare – you’re usually greeted by the delicious aromas of brownies, cookies, chocolates, or anything else awesome that she makes!

The service has always been nice when I have visited, and Kathy is always helpful when making a suggestion.

The fondue is very good, but make a reservation so you don’t have to wait. You get a large variety of cakes, fruits, and pretzels. The chocolate is prefectly heated.

The hard candies are reasonably priced. The chocolate can get expensive, so make sure you like whatever it is that you are buying. The ice cream and desserts are very well priced.

If you don’t like the rush, go on Sunday in the mid-afternoon. It is nice to walk the shops and stop for a cup of cocoa and your favorite dessert!

I’ve never thought that it had a Walmart appeal. I’m not sure what the post above is talking about with that one. Since I’m in there quite frequently, I see the candy go through its rounds.

I’ve been to Kathy’s several times over a one year period. The chocolate is decent, though much of it appears to sit under the glass for extensive periods of time. Also, the chocolates, though handcrafted, are not hand-dipped, which gives them a Walmart-like appearance. Although the chocolates are decent (especially the extensive variety of mint truffles) the customer service is terrible. The staff is unfriendly and un-knowledgeable, and the purported owner has little interest in responding to customer needs. Unfortunately, instead of smelling chocolate when entering the store, I have encountered the smell of backed-up sewage on one occasion–a characteristic that may say something about “Kathy’s” sanitation techniques. I would not recommend Kathy’s Homemade Kandies if you have to go to the store to purchase them yourself. If you have a brave friend to purchase them for you, then by all means: enjoy.
