Welcome to Licorice and Lemon Drops Old Fashioned Candy Shop!

We pride ourselves in being a small family owned and operated business in historical Gonzales County, the birthplace of Texas. In fact our store is just a few miles from the historic Sam Houston Oak and Peach Creek. The store is centrally located one hour from Austin, San Antonio, and Victoria. We are just two hours from Temple, Corpus Christi, and Houston. If you can't stop in for a visit, we will happily ship our products to you. For nearby or large orders, including corporate gifts, we can arrange hand delivery.

When you stroll into our old fashioned candy store you will find over 300 kinds of nostalgic candies from the past 120 years. We are the only place in the Gonzales area where you can still buy something for a penny.

We offer one of a kind gifts prepared in everything from boxes and buckets to baskets and bags. We can fill your basket with fine chocolates or make it fun and nostalgic. Pick the decade, and we will help you celebrate that special birthday or anniversary with goodies from the past.

If you are planning a special event, we can prepare your favors, dessert trays, and giant cookies and other homemade goodies. Ask Natalie about having a candy bar at your next event.

We offer over a dozen kinds of our own handmade, homemade, fresh from scratch candy just like Grandma made. From Fudge to Millionaires many of our homemade candies include local pecans.

Come in and pick from our wide selection of candy including "Licorice and Lemon Drops". We offer confections from many companies like Jelly Belly, Birnn Chocolates, Marich, Joseph Schmidt, and Hammond's. They supply us with sweets such as Jelly Bellies, cherry sours, chocolate covered almonds, sugar-free chocolates, domestic and Belgian truffles, and hard candies.

We retail children's books including American Girl Books and Little Golden Books. We are proud to be a Diamond Dealer of Gund Stuffed Animals.
