Our family loves coming here. Delicious treats and great service. Cutest little shop!

I stop by every chance I get to pick up some peanut butter chocolate fudge. It's always delicious and I often can't resist adding an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie to the order. The beer bread mix also makes a great hostess gift if you're looking for something to give when visiting a friend. The employees are always kind and courteous. read more

Craving some chocolate, maybe some sweets while visiting Valley Junction? I've done some serious reference for you, because Nan's Nummies nailed it on our recent visit. Outstanding customer service added to their terrific snack and chocolate options. There is a great look throughout the store, and kindness prevails. A positive atmosphere. We loved our sweets and went on with our days after some huge smiles. read more

Employees are always nice! Their baked goods are from scratch and sooooo good! Never had something we wouldn't have again.

I stop in on occasion and love the variety of items. I am a big fan of the frosted sugar cookies and like that they decorate them for different holidays/seasons. The service has always been good. It's a cute, small town business that has been around since I was young and shows what West Des Moines used to be like! read more

The cookies are absolutely delicious! We love all the people behind the counter! We never come To Des Moines without stopping for a sugar cookie! read more

Nan's Nummies - a box of cookies - Bakeries Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

4.0* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 3* Value: 4* Service: 4* 03/15/2023 Since my brother and Sister-in-law who were visiting hadn't yet tried a Dutch Letter, we had yet another chance to visit Nan's while driving through the Valley Junction area during their visit. In addition to the Dutch Letter (which we've always found to be delicious), we also ordered their specialty - the Almond Creme cookies for each of us to try. They are so light, crumbly and delicious - don't leave without sampling at least one! Lastly, my brother ordered some Peanut Butter Crispy treats and as you might expect - we all found them to be delicious also.

Just barely 3. Home style bakery items and candy. I have not yet tried the candy but the baked goods are very homey in a not professionally done way? The Dutch letters were crazy heavy and simple. Nice folks though. read more

What a sweet and delightful family owned business filled with treats that will satisfy any sweet tooth you have! Everyone was so kind, informative of their sweet treats, and gave us recommendations to what we were looking for that were perfect! The inside of their store reminds me of an old school candy shop, filled with all of the smells that reminds you of your childhood. We'll be back for sure and next time I'll take pics to share! read more

This is a very charming sweet shoppe with many desserts to choose from. In addition to chocolates and candy, they offer Dutch letters, puff pillows, and these amazing shortbread pink cookies. Nan's is right on the corner and offers plenty of free parking. The shop is small but not tiny. It can easily fit many people inside. The prices are fair and everything was really good. It's a fun shop with a vintage flair. Stop by and grab a few treats. read more

I love Nan's! This little gem is in Valley Junction. They offer all of the fun desserts and treats--made right there in store! My favorite treats are the chocolate covered Oreos! read more

Today was my second trip to Nan's Nummies under new ownership. I've already reported on soso sugar cookies. For my birthday I purchased 'puff pillows'. NOT the same. Filling is traditionally powdered sugar, real butter and vanilla. Nan and Pella make them that way. The current pastry is filled with frosting. I took two bites and threw the remainder away. I have attached pics. So disappointed!!! Last stop there. read more

Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination Take a look and you'll see Into your imagination We'll begin with a spin Traveling in the world of my creation What we'll see will defy explanation.........

I got a sweet tooth this is true, and there is nothing better than telling your 2 1/2 year old son, hey let's go get a treat! Perfection in the candy, fudge, and cookie department here! Little tables to sit and enjoy and the staff is nice too! I got a golden ticket! read more

I LOVE everything about this business! All of the original goodies are the exact same as the previous owner make, down to the ingredients and brands, but the new owner came in and updated the building, along with adding some new and exciting goodies. Everything is so clean and updated now, with a wider selection of goodies that the new owner introduced in addition to the old classics. New treats are introduced almost weekly and they are all so tasty! Kudos to the new owner for keeping the same old classics we all love and breathing new life into it at the same time! read more

Great fudge! Would reccomender the peanut butter chocolate and the cookies and cream! Very nice and friendly staff. Edit-Came back to grab some more fudge and the two girls serving this time were not very friendly, handled my chocolate with their bare hands and one even sat down while there were many customers waiting to order. Don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. read more

Nan's Nummies fails to make me go nom nom nom, but succeeds in making me go BLEH! Sure they have chocolate covered Jelly Bellys, Truffles and Kettle Korn, which are delicious but not made by Nan. What is concocted by Nan is pure sugar that leads to sugar overload and headaches. One prime example is their puff pillow, buttercream frosting filled turnover topped generously with sugar crystals. Nan also makes fudge and cookies, I have not yet tried them, I'll admit I'm afraid to. Sugar migranes are not pleasant. read more

New owner great variety of fresh candy's. Not anything like the old owner had

Such a nice little shop in Valley Junction! They had the screen door open to let the beautiful weather in today! I love that they have almond creams!! The Easter eggs are delicious! Buttercream was good very creamy and soft!! Salted caramel was the best!!! Sweet but not too sweet!!! Cupcakes we tried were peanut butter and red velvet! Flavorful but crumbly and a bit dry. They were pretty good. Average prices some things a little steep and friendly staff!! Cute little shop. read more

Nan's Nummies - Amazing cookies! - Bakeries Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

I was not a very big fan of the products I tried from this place. I remember the sweets tasted old and very bland/strange. It could have been bad choice of products from my end, I chose based on looks. They definitely didn't taste like what they looked like. The shop itself is pretty cute, many different items on display which all looks tasty, some small seating area to eat. The staff was friendly and able to answer questions about the products. I may come back again and try something different if the opportunity arose. read more

I had no idea they made dutch letters!!!!I tried one and it was amazing! They also have these little tiny almond cookies with a white chocolate center also amazing :) I can't wait to go back and try the fudge and other goodies. read more

Went to Nan's Nummies for first time to buy candy for wedding. Called first and asked about turn over and freshness. Was assured of freshness. Saltwater taffy not fresh by any means, cookies - what -2 or 3 days old?, Fudge ,Boston baked beans, Dutch mints, peas and carrots were fresh enough for wedding. . Over all experience was a disappointment and they lost a first and last time customer. Service as very lax as if she could care less re her customers. read more

I love coming here, the frosted sugar cookies are the best! Staff is always friendly.
