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. Not sure if some things are placed there because not in season purposes? I wanted candy corn, my husband got a rootbeer. We were both satisfied with what we got. All payments accepted. 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.

Good Stewart's - I won't end 'til I've reviewed each one.. Stewart's has the friendliest staff and…read moreice cream shovelers anywhere! The franchise does an excellent on-site job training. They hire high school kids, mothers, elderly folks who are on strict finances. To me that is very commendable. They also sell ices in boxes from the freezers (their own flaves like rocky road, neapolitan etc.) and their drink, snack, soda, coffee, bars, candy, rolls, buns, crullers are the best to be had: if you are visiting the Empire State (NEW YORK), chances are you'll encounter the Stewart's (based in NY) brand. Remember: they do refills (for a charge) on coffee (used to, at least), the ice creams are solid and each place has 3 tables to chill! Like other places Stewart's also serves fresh sandwiches, soups and sundaes. Browse around and meet locals - it's the New York (Stewart's) State way!! Review: 4

Thanks for being there a few nights ago. When a problematic situation arose in an UberEats order…read more(where the customer bought something that the restaurant couldn't provide), the customer turned his anger towards me, and asked me if I could provide it instead. To which, I knew I couldn't go back to the restaurant, and instead noticed your store open and knew instinctively what most Stewarts Shops carried and knew that this product could be found here. Although you were washing floors near the product, when you saw me head towards the wrong register (which would have been closer for the employee to ring it up on) (it was just a 2L Pepsi bottle), you communicated your intentions and performed to your best. I thank you. For being so close and open when I needed you, you shone in my darkest light. I know I don't walk into your particular store very often, but it was necessary. I still don't like your entry and exit points onto both Delaware Avenue and Broadway (there's no lighting onto Broadway) and it seems very confusing at this intersection due to the crisscrossing of yet a third road from a location nearby. I actually don't like this corner: cars coming from the 'Strand come up Broadway too quickly there and it can get interesting navigating. However, you shone your light at the entrance with LCD brightness that really provided me assurance that I'd be safe inside for a few minutes getting the necessary item. I asked for a receipt, and received it as asked. Thanks.

The smell inside will have you drooling harder than a boxer puppy smelling a pizza. Unfortunately I forgot to save the photo I took of the delicious display of pastries. That display certainly hooked me. Came in for coffee walked out with delightful bites I couldn't wait to dig into. One of which was a strawberry danish. That crust was amazingly light and flakey. Layered strawberries, center with a little cream and that cream topped off with some lemony drizzle. Oh just pure goodness. Prices VERY reasonable. Coffee is outstanding. Desserts are dangerous. You will want to say "One of each please" and you won't regret a thing.

I questioned my judgment because a very small portion came out to about eight dollars with no toppings except a dash of peanut butter sauce. for the money, I'm heading to Baskin-Robbins or Stewart's for a full pint at half the price. I do see the appeal for people who like frozen yogurt. But don't fool yourself - it's high in calories. When I purchased it again? Possibly but I won't go out of my way.

We both got our usual (her, cotton candy, and original tart for me). We then headed to her fourth grade open house two hours later and I had food poisoning!!! It was Gastro-I was sick from 7:30 pm until 4:30 am this morning and had to sleep on the bathroom floor, after I dehydrated and fainted - with constant throwing up and continually sitting on the toilet for over 9 hours!!!! The stomach cramps were out of this world... It was the worst night of my life and will not be going back ever! (And also calling the health department today to file a complaint). I should've known better when the yogurt was so runny and the very nice employee with the long, dark brown hair told me she had to "reset the machine and I had to wait 5 minutes, and they have been having issues with that machine.) It was dirty with watery yogurt sitting in the grill underneath and not cleaned up, but I assumed someone tried to serve themselves and made a mess.... I won't be back and am very disappointed that I will be spending the day in bed today, this weak! This experience was horrendous!
