The chocolate pieces are very rich ans the macaroons are not too sweet and soft. Most of these pieces are made with coconut cream and the taste is very prominent. I had a snickers doodles cookie. While the texture is moist, the coconut taste is very strong. I actually prefer a regular snickerdoodle cookies. Great if you are a vegan.

Their baked goods looked delectable: pillowy cookies, nice colored macarons, cupcakes in different flavors, etc. They also had fun ornaments and candles, honeys, tea/coffee, vegan cheese, chocolate and other small gifts. Some of their prices also seemed decent compared to a few other shops that we stopped into. Street parking only but apparently they don't check meters on Saturdays. It's also right next to the farmers market when that's in season.

A few things appeared to have been stored away and sorta looks as if it's kinda shoved to the side. For example : soft serve machine.

Parking is available along the side street. Friendly service.

There seems to be a candy store in almost every ocean side town I visit. I simply walk on by as i'm…read morenot the type of parent that lets my kids buy bags of candy. So when I saw one opening in Kingston almost a decade ago I just shrugged and kept going. After learning Dianne Reeder's story you realize this isn't your ordinary candy store. Yes they have over 400 kinds of candy you can buy in bulk and the store has your typical kitschy trinkets but if you look deeper it's where you find Diane's passion and empathy for others. She just wants to make your day a little easier and for you to leave happier than you came. Certainly this isn't hard when you're scooping Janes Ice cream and serving vegan homemade soft serve using Fruition chocolate and coconut milk. Even this is fairly common place in a world over run by NYC transplants expecting everything to be homemade and gluten free. Where Dianne is different, is her commitment to community. In 2005, Diane was the winner of the Microsoft/Bill Gates Start Something Amazing Award (a program honoring the unique and inspiring ways that people use Microsoft related technology to pursue their everyday passions) for her work bringing attention to food insecurity. Her passion for cooking and her desire to help others led her to find a nonprofit organization called The Queens Galley in Kingston. The work she did with the Kingston Farmers Market was instrumental in getting them to accept food stamps. Diane's mission to have people come together and break bread in dignity has now spread across the country. Her commitment even landed her a diner at the Whitehouse with President Obama. To add to her resume she graduated the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park while raising 3 kids and running the candy bar. But let's get to the point. Diane is a pillar of the community where everybody knows her name. But what about the food? Just sitting outside snacking on my freshly roasted nuts (still warm) sipping on my 72hr steeped Lavazza cold brew I'd say simply perfect. Don't miss the carrot cake doughnut topped with maple walnuts and stuffed with macerated pineapple. The passion fruit and blackberry parfait or those rainbow cookie tricolor doughnuts. They have a sweet for everyone! Kingston Candy Bar might not be the hippest spot on the block but the love Diane puts into her work is palpable.

We walked up, and I ordered a dairy-free Dole Whip in pomegranate flavor with rainbow sprinkles in a cup. I wasn't sure what to expect--I'm usually not a huge pomegranate fan--but from the first taste, I was sold! It was sweet with just the right amount of tartness, and the sprinkles added a fun pop of color. It was the perfect cold treat to make an 8-hour workday feel worth it. Now that I've found this place, I'll definitely be back--there's so much more I want to try! 5/5 stars.

I also love that it's part cafe, part market, so you can grab incredible food and also pick up market goods like fresh bread and local items. It feels like a neighborhood hub and a destination all in one. An absolute must if you're in Kingston.
