Finally went to this store after driving past it hundreds of times and I was very impressed. The have a great selection of homemade candy and plants. Homemade candies are made in a much more sustainable way than the major brands so may be a little bit more money but will will weigh less on your conscience if you got one. They aren't a nursery, but have a big, well rounded selection of flowers, shrubs and trees. read more

Everything about this place evokes joy. From the first deep breath of chocolate that makes you pause at the door to the friendly staff that enjoys picking out the perfect treats for you. I'm thrilled by the seasonal delights that Laurie offers. Chocolate covered fruit in the summer and Happy Apples in the fall....happy times! read more

A small, hidden gem on Berdan Ave in Wayne. The staff is very friendly & helpful. The selection is varied & tucked into every nook & cranny. While a bit pricey, the chocolates are beyond delicious. This is well worth the trip if you want high quality treats. read more

I just picked up 8 chocolate covered strawberries I ordered yesterday from Laurie's Candies, Wayne. The woman who checked me out said $25 and change. REALLY? She said, "well, they're heavy". Annoyed, but took them home anyway as I need for a birthday celebration, thinking, we'll, at least they will be those big beautiful giant ones. WRONG. So, I called store thinking there was a mistake. But the manager told me it was correct as they charge $28.99 a lb. Thats right, for strawberries. I had just come from Market Basket in Franklin Lakes where the filet mignon was less expensive and they had hand dipped strawberries, to boot, for $8.99 for 8 of the the same size! My mistake for not asking, let the buyer beware! Absurd... read more

Stopped in for the first time on Tuesday after driving past this place more times than I can count. I'm glad I did! What a cute little candy shop! Can't wait to pick up Easter goodies there! read more

After living in the area my whole life I finally made my way to this yummy in my tummy spot. I purchased chocolate covered strawberries and two bags of homemade gummy worms. Everything was very tasty and completely fresh. If I absolutely had to complain about something, I would say that they aren't the cheapest but that's ok. You lay for quality. I will definitely be picking up some more candy from this cute little place!! read more

Laurie's Homemade Candy - Amazing candy!! - Candy Stores Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

I started coming here because they were advertising their dark chocolate being dairy free. My daughter is very allergic to milk and every time she had it would have a problem so last time I went in I asked if they were sure and the lady held the ingredient list in her hand and said she was sure I also called on another occasion and same thing. Today when coming in I asked again if it was dairy free and they told me it never was they just thought it was. That's a very serious thing to advertise without fully knowing. And if they actually took the second to read the ingredients they would've saw it wasn't dairy free. Very very dangerous. read more

I went for the first time yesterday and wasn't impressed. The marzipan was dried out and tasted old. The truffles were hard and had way to much hard shell and no inside. Chocolate covered potato chips used Pringles and there was to much chocolate on them. The Carmel chocolates were good though. Prices were to high for below average quality. I'll never go back read more

Such a wonderful candy store, with warm and caring people. I've picked up some chocolates and candy on occasion over the years, and it has always been delicious and presented quite nicely! Today I called up for a last minute special order and they were kind enough to get it ready for me in no time. They even gift wrapped it for me. It's so nice to have a local shop with quality products and people. I highly recommend going there for a special gift, as you won't be disappointed. read more

Absolutely delicious homemade chocolate covered nuts. I miss my dad getting them every year for us on Valentine's Day. :(

If anybody really wants great homemade chocolate you must go to Laurie's. Everybody who works there is nice and sweet and helpful. I love her chocolates ! She will make anything you need if you give her a little bit of notice. I asked her to make dark chocolate toffee for my son-in-law and I gave her a few days notice and she made it and my son-in-law was in heaven. Thank you Laurie! Your candy store really rocks! read more

Was inside Lauries waiting for Service to buy chocolates when suddenly two women pushed me out of the way to be served first and the Counter Folks who were serving pretended i did not exist and said nothing to the rude and entitled clowns. This Me first, you zero attitude is what you are going to get if you stop here. Apparently, Lauries is so flushed with sucess they do not care if they notice you or not so save yourself some grief and go where they will respect you and treat you like you exist. read more

It was 1989 and I moved to Wayne from the Philippines. I went to Laurie's and my mother bought me a Gund teddy bear. Today, when I smell it really hard, it still smells like chocolate, despite the many turns in the washing machine. With bleach. That's why I still hold on to that little bear. Every Easter I get a basket full of Laurie's peanut butter treats (yes even though I'm very much an adult but I live far away from Laurie's now). They are superior to every chocolate, my second favorite being Teuscher chocolates. Their chocolate covered strawberries are second to none. I remember when this placed burned down in the early 90's, I knew it then in my elementary years that it was a gem and I'm happy that they came back. This place is happiness and childhood. It makes small business look good, and gets to do it in the glorious world of chocolates. read more

I ordered a dozen of half Carmel and half crushed peanuts Incase anyone was allergic... however the order got derailed a little. Debbie, called me and wasn't the best communicator and we definitely didn't take likely to one another... however I was so upset over the Miss communication and the lack of genuine care I received, I really didn't want the apples anymore but bc it was for my grandsons birthday I tried to feel and think differently. I was so upset up and down the highway I literally got lost using the GPS and went a day later... all I can say is her attitude uncaring and snobby but, since my mom liked the apples I simply say Thank you! A HELL OF A FIRST EXPERIENCE OVERALL AND THE FIRST TIME USING THIS PLACE OF BUSINESS. I simply say, TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOULDN'T BE OF COLOR BUT OF GENERAL NATURALNESS IS WORKS BETTER.. BC EVERYONE'S MONEY IS THE SAME AND IT's NOT WAT U SAY IN COMMUNICATION IT'S HOW IT'S DELIVERED! THANKS JUST THE SAME AND MAYB IF EVER I TRY AGAIN IT WILL BE SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE ... read more

The Best candy store in NJ!! for the last five years I have purchased chocolate covered fruit for my wife and ever time they are fresh and last a long time!! Laurie's has done many of our parties from showers to our wedding. For part of our wedding favors we did chocolate covered pretzel rods. The staff was great to work with and they decorated the favors perfect. Start selling cupcakes and I might move in!! read more

I was so excited at the idea of eating a homemade candy apple since I love them so. I was very disappointed by the apple I received at the Blaze display in Groton, NY. The apple was mushy and rotting in spots. Maybe just my luck but I was hoping for better. read more

This store with its long time local staff gets it right. The candy and the selection are outstanding. Always fresh, always gift or crowd pleasing. I have been going there for the last ten years and have never been disappointed.. But let me tell you about the customer service, the icing or let's say sprinkles on the candy. Regardless of holiday and crowded rush, these are the nicest and most attentive. Try the fruit slices, candy apples and the nonpareil. Forget Bramilow or Krause and make the trip here, you will not regret it. read more

The quality of the candy has been good, at least what I have purchased in the past. (Chocolate covered fresh and dried fruits, marzipan, chocolate on sticks). My disappointment mainly comes in staffing. The employees are nice but it seems only one person is assigned to help customers while everyone else tends to other tasks in the store. This is a small store that can get pretty crowded during holiday seasons. Having only one person individually pick and box candy for customers, wrap each in ribbons and run the register while everyone else just waits is just uncomfortable, especially when you can see 4 other employees doing other things. If they had more people actually directly helping customers it would be a much better experience. read more

Very nice chocolates but not the fancy kind. Plenty of candies which would be great for kids. Not as fancy as my personal favorite - Birnn's in Highland Park. But a good selection and moderate prices. Friendly staff. read more

What a lovely little candy shop. I stopped in on the way back from Optimum, and found the store had such a great selection of not only homemade sweets but nostalgic candy as well. Will definitely be back. Great to know about with graduation and Mother's Day approaching. read more

A Wayne tradition. Super fresh chocolate delicacies, warm friendly staff, well priced. Their salted caramel chocolate dipped apples are incredibly delicious. Chocolate covered orange peel is addictive! Lots of sugar-free selection. Fun to visit during any holiday time (Halloween especially). My go-to place for special treats and special occasions (free gift wrap)! read more

Incredible little store. The selection of homemade candies is remarkable for such a quaint shop that isn't in the heart of town. The service was also very friendly. In addition to edible treats they also had a nice selection of wreaths and Christmas trees when I came by. Whether you like fancier type chocolates or a simple bag of gummy bears they have you covered. Prices are reasonable and they do take cards. I guess the only thing I wasn't a fan of is that they had homemade fudge packaged but you couldn't get a specific amount or sample any of the flavors. Regardless if you or a loved one is a chocolate lover stop by here and pick up a little something. read more

Laurie's is my most favorite chocolate shop. They are a holiday favorite in my family. The dark chocolate trouffles are my favorite. So happy to live close to this perfect, little candy shop! read more

Just visited their store in Wayne and was shocked by the high prices. $25 per pound for chocolate! Their items are no better than other chocolate shops that charge $17 per pound such as the shop in Margate. read more

I placed a special order for a box of chocolates with a message written on them to use in a photograph. When I picked up the chocolates they were stuck to a piece of cardboard with colored foil on the background. The first line was oddly curved and the next three were straight, the chocolates were various sizes and the lettering looked very dated. By the time I got home I regretted not saying something, especially since I was out $50.00 for something that was nothing like what I had requested. I tried to make the best of the situation and take the photo but because of the foil background, instead of the box that I had asked for, there was a glare. It was pretty much a waste of money for chocolates that tasted ok. read more

This is the best candy store I have ever been to! The candy was cheap and it tasted amazing. I got a box filled with 8 caramels and it was only $5! At most candy stores it would usually be $10! This is going to be my new favorite spot! read more

Be prepared to wait for service. Stood at the counter for close to 5 minutes while 3 employees acted like I wasn't there and a fourth spent most of the time in the aisle talking to a friend. When she came behind the counter, she joined in the "ignorefest." Mind you there were no other customers shopping in the store at the time. Unbelievable! read more

I was given a gift basket from Laurier candies and was sadly disappointed. All of the candies, minus the gel fruits, had a very artificial taste to them. anything containing peanut butter was especially offensive,it.tasted like powdered pb. I will not be returning to this once wonderful candy store. read more

Always the best. Exceptional quality. Super friendly staff. Delicious chocolate.
