Veteran and woman-owned, Cawley’s Confections is a coffee bar and small batch bakery with a super sweet heart, freshly relocated inside the LaGrange IGA. Owner Amber Cawley, an Army combat medic for six years, opened the caffeinated concept three years ago and says the new location offers indoor and outdoor seating and encourages customers to “sip and shop local.”
Serving Cleveland roasted Rising Star Coffee, Cawley says the most popular daily coffee drink is a Caramel Cheesecake Mocha, but the one everyone begs for all yearlong is the “Hello, Gourdgeous,” which is a Caramel Pumpkin Spice Latte.
“We use real pumpkin, cinnamon and a blend of other things that we keep it a secret,” says Cawley. “Pair that with the apple spice scone or one of the pumpkin spice cookies, or any of the assorted fudgy brownies or Danishes in our bakery case, and it’s fall perfection!”
Offering a discount for first responders and military, Cawley’s “pay-it-forward board” has grabbed the attention and pulled at the heartstrings of many patrons. It’s a board filled with items that were purchased by employees or members of the community. so anybody can walk in and get something for free.
