This Nostalgic Candy Store In Louisiana Sells Soda And Snacks From All Over The World

No matter how old you are, a trip to a candy store is always a treat (pun intended). Just wandering through the aisles and gazing at all of the display cases overflowing with candy is enough to bring a smile to anyone’s face - and that’s before you even sink your teeth into any of the sweet treats! If you find yourself on the Northshore with a craving for something sweet, put your money where your mouth is and pay a visit to The Candy Bank, one of the most unique candy stores in Louisiana.

You’ll find The Candy Bank tucked away in Old Mandeville, just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the picturesque Lake Pontchartrain.

Built in 1907, the St. Tammany Bank Building has been many businesses over the last century, but it was initially built to be a bank (for money, not candy). Built in a Breaux Arts-style, the two-story building was built to last and was even the shelter for when tornado sirens were activated.

Get ready to live out your Willy Wonka dreams, because The Candy Bank is where all of your sweetest dreams can come to life.

You’ll get a sugar rush just from walking through the door.

Once inside, you’ll be met with rows and rows of candy.

The self-serve candy store features near-endless views of glass containers filled sky-high with colorful sweets you’ll be tempted to try.

From jelly beans and saltwater taffy...

...to exotic and nostalgic sodas, you'll be mesmerized by all of the options here.

They even have homemade treats!

One of the biggest sellers is the homemade fudge.

You should definitely stock up on some. Trust us.

The Candy Bank has more than 300 fudge recipes, rotating in seasonal flavors often.

You'll always find the classics like chocolate and peanut butter, but keep an eye out for seasonal additions like carrot cake, caramel apple, and more.
