Laura's Candies History

OUR STORY

Laura's Candies

Laura's Candies is a New Orleans staple with roots stretching back to 1913. For over a century we've been crafting the finest Southern Confections in our beloved French Quarter candy kitchen, where tradition meets passion in every batch.

Since 2008, owner Brian Boehm has carried forward that legacy with unwavering dedication to quality and authenticity. Every praline, every piece of candy that leaves our kitchen is made by hand with the same care and attention to detail that defined Laura's Candies from its very beginning.

Our candy kitchen is the heart of everything we do. Here we prepare our pralines fresh daily, using time-honored recipes and the finest ingredients we can source. There are no shortcuts, no mass production lines—just skilled hands, Southern tradition and a genuine love for the craft. When you taste a Laura's Candies praline, you're tasting over a century of commitment to excellence.

We believe that great candy is more than just sugar and flavor, it's a reflection of who we are as a business and as a community. It's the pride we take in our work, the respect we have for our heritage and the passion we bring to every single piece we create. Our passion for perfecting candy confections is what makes Laura's Candies special and that's what keeps customers coming back generation after generation.
