About Mattheessen's
Mattheessen's story began in 1993, when the Mattheessen family moved to Key West, Florida, and opened a small coffee kiosk named after their daughter, Kayla's Cafe. What started as a simple dream grew into something sweeter.
Not long after, the family expanded into a fudge and cookie shop, and with the success of Mattheessen's Candy Kitchen, the brand continued to grow. Today, Mattheessen's proudly operates three beloved locations in Key West – including two on world-famous Duval Street and one on Greene Street – along with a location in Nashville, Tennessee, just off Broadway on 2nd Avenue N.
Made Fresh. Made Here.
At Mattheessen's, we believe the best treats start with the finest ingredients and are made fresh in-store, every day. Everything we sell is handcrafted right where you buy it – from our famous half-pound cookies and marble-slab fudge to homemade ice cream and chocolate-dipped key lime pie.
One bite is all it takes to understand why our guests return again and again.
A Tradition of Sweet Service
When you visit Mattheessen's, you'll experience friendly customer service, a welcoming atmosphere, and sweets that keep families coming back for generations. Whether you're strolling Duval Street, exploring historic Greene Street, or soaking in the energy of downtown Nashville, we're proud to be part of your memories.
Generations of Sweetness
From our family to yours, we've been creating moments of joy for over 30 years. Every cookie, every piece of fudge, every scoop of ice cream is made with the same care and passion that started it all back in 1993.
