See What They Say About Us!
Went to check them out for a farmers market so it was pretty busy but the staff were really friendly and still prompt at attending to us. The puff pillow was amazing!! 10/10 recommend that pastry, it was so soft yet creamy and thick. Will definitely be coming back!
Store has new owner and Baker. She has kept all the original stuff and has added new features and treats...its very hard not to find one treat that everyone would enjoy... great store.
I love this place. I work here. We have great cookies Fudge. Taffy. Jelly beans. Cupcakes. Dutch letters. Etc. I love this place!
Went into Nans for the Grand Opening. Loved seeing that the whole family was involved! I was waited on by the sweetest young man, prices were extremely reasonable! 4 Macarons, 3 truffles & a cookie for under $15. Open concept & bright interior. Not in Valley Junctipn often but will be back.
This is the best little sweet shop that is down to earth and has the best sweets! I love this place definitely going to order some to send me back home to Missouri!
Love this store. Love that they do sugar free for people who need it. Love the options and every thing taste amazing. I can't wait to visit again
Love the look of the store. Variety of options. Would definitely recommend and would definitely visit again
We are in town with family from Texas and we went to visit the candy store and had a great visit. The prices are very reasonable and they have many choices of candy to choose from.
Love the new updated look of Nan's! I haven't tried anything I didn't like - the cupcakes are especially wonderful (and beautiful as well)!
My husband and I went to the Grand Opening. The white chocolate raspberry cupcake was so good and fresh! Dutch letters were big and full of the almond paste filling. Chocolate covered strawberry was very fresh with a thick chocolate coating. Loved the monster cookie and nut roll bar. (We did not eat all of this in one sitting! LOL.😊) Prices were very reasonable. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable. We were attended to quickly.
We went to Grand opening. We love the dutch letters. they put in a lot more almond filling in them, then Pella. Cookies are great we also bought chocolates and Fudge love the peanut butter and raspberry fudge. The shop looked really nice. Everyone was so friendly. It really needed remodeled. I love this place going to go often.
This is a fun place to get some treats for my family! Loooove all of the updates and renovations that they have done 🙂 Such a cute, fresh look! The new owner has done a great job keeping all of the original items from the past, while bringing some new and creative items to the menu! Prices are great and very affordable, and this is a neat place to stop and check out!
Love Nan's and their local tradition that continue with a fresh look and new owner. Same solid value prices (compare and you will see) and exceptional treats. Look forward to each visit.
I have been in Nan's Nummies multiple times from when the old owner to the new owners. The employees on all visits were professional and had good customer service. The chocolate and other goodies are amazing as always. The prices have not changed. I like the renovation that the new owners did. Every store needs a new face lift once in a while. Same goodies as before with some new goodies.
The whole family made a trip out to see Nan’s Nummies when it reopened. It is fresh, clean, warm, and so inviting! We got espresso truffles, salted toffee chocolates, caramel pecans, and a chocolate chip cookie. I didn’t get a picture because we were too busy enjoying everything.
Store is under new management and has undergone a complete remodel and new look. Store has expanded it's selection, adding new candies, cupcakes, cakes, popcorn, and planning on adding more We were there for GRAND OPENING and it was spectacular. Had to leave with less than I wanted or I'd have gained 100 lbs just shopping If you're in the area and/or wanting special treats you'd be more than pleased by shopping here Staff were super good and attentive
Love the renovations! I saw a comment their prices went up, but that is not true they are great value prices for great yummy items! If you are looking for a great treat that has great taste you need to go here!
I love Nan's. The new renovations bring it up to date! The two points of sale help keep things moving quickly whej they are extra busy on weekends. Same great recipes, plus a few new add-ons and extras that weren't there before. The staff is friendly and helpful and truly care about their customers! Nan's is definitely my family's go to for sweet treats!
Stopped in for some goodies after lunch for a friend's birthday. The renovation looks amazing. Love the new modern touchs mixed with nans we all have grown up with. As always chocolate s were delicious.
I definitely recommend! The new owner is a delight to work with, and is an amazing decorator. All her designs are on point. The remodel of the shop is beautifully done and the prices have stayed the same. Nan’s Nummies has always been and will continue to be a staple of Valley Junction. Excited to see all the wonderful things the new own does!
Always a pleasure! Love the new owner! You can see how much pride she takes in her work!
The new owners have done an excellent job renovating this place!!! Also, the cookies and chocolates that we bought were excellent!!! We will definitely be visiting again soon!!!
Lots of interesting hand made treats, some traditional some unique. Highly recommend the special k bar, makes traditional scotcharoos boring
Good ole Nan making it happen again and again and again with the nummies! I visited on my business trip. I tried the chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate covered almonds, some caramel chocolates, and some snow balls. They have an entire wall of jelly beans as well. Great location in the heart of downtown West Des Moines! I’ll have to give Nan another visit before I leave for some more of these delectable nummies!
I should've taken more photos. I ordered 4 different truffles and all were SO good. Plus their ireo fudge is delicious as well! Such a fun store with so many options. We will definitely be back to try more goodies!
Tastes like homemade but better! Your tastebuds will never be more happy.
Great taffy selection. The 🍊 flavored and fruit punch were by far my favorites. Green 🍏 gets an honorable mention. The buttered popcorn I cannot say the same about. They also have the best sour and regular gummie worms. Way softer than Black Forest or Harribo. I tried an assortment of various carmel chocolates; all were amazing. Everying was reasonably priced too, unlike you see when going too some ritzy stores with "pre-boxed" candies that have been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long. Here the kitchen is right in the back of the store. The lady helping us said she just started, her service was spot on and was super helpful and friendly, compliments to her (Iowa sweatshirt).
Great staff, greeted as we walked in and great tasting cookies will be back for more
Outstanding cookies! A Christmas must-have at our house and throughout my childhood. Delicious & beautiful cookies & candies and always friendly and excellent customer service. Cute corner storefront in Valley Junction with easy street parking. Fun place to visit, too!
They always have something special. Keep up the good work and stay strong during this holiday season.
Dutch letters from here are the best outside of Pella, Iowa that I've tasted. Lots of goodies. Lots of home baked goods!
Love the almond creme cookies, so good! I wish I would have grabbed a photo but they got eaten too quickly. My husband was a big fan of the white chocolate truffles. This was a fun store to visit for my 6-year old, but also myself as a special treat. I love Valley Junction and its small-town feel, and this candy store fits in perfectly.
Cream cheese brownies with tons of yummy frosting for $1.25?!?!?! Such a great deal and worth envery penny. And rhe staff was so friendly. Make u feel right at home.
Dutch letters are my family's favorite. I have gotten them for stocking stuffers and everyone loves them. The almond cream cookies are a hit to take to family members and chocolate covered gummy bears really are good. Everything is priced really well.
