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.

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.

I love this place! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious! I do not buy the brand candy they have there(JellyBelly, M&M’s, salt water taffy, etc) because you can get that anywhere and cheaper. But the homemade candies, cookies, fudge, etc is amazing and priced just right. Always worth the trip.

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.

I recommend that you don’t even step in the door of this business. My family walked in on a Valley Junction Christmas event one evening, and the Jelly Belly’s, which are located close to the floor where children can have EASY access to, was accidentally touched by my son. Some Jelly Belly’s spilled out onto the grate. The owner came over immediately shaking her fist and pointed to a sign that said that any spillage made by children would be a mandatory $ 3 charge. Okay, we were fine with that. I was willing to take responsibility and pay for the spillage. We gathered up all the jelly beans that had spilled out on the grate and put them in a bag that they had available. We decided we would also buy more jelly belly’s that were more to our liking than the ones that spilled out. So, we put in another ounce or two in the bag. We went up to the front counter, and the owner then told us the total was over $ 8 for a small bag of jelly belly’s. We knew that she was charging us for the bag, which was around $ 5 and then adding on $ 3 even though the bag had the spilled jelly belly’s included in the bag. We told her we would not pay that much. She told us to pay the $ 3 with no jelly belly’s. We did and told her that I would not be back again, even though I had frequented the shop many times. She lost me as a customer for good. It would seem that this must be a problem of children accidentally hitting the buttons since they are easy to reach by any toddler and she felt she needed to post a sign about it. It would seem that good business sense would have been to let us pay for the bag that included the spilled jelly beans and add on the correct amount for the remaining beans. It would also seem to make sense that she needs to raise the jelly belly’s to more eye level for adults so that children don’t have easy access to the jelly belly’s. Again, I recommend you don’t even go in the shop. It isn’t worth it.

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.
