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.

But sadly, their matcha is genuinely terrible. I'd get it if it was cheap matcha, but it was $7.25 just for very poor quality matcha. They don't have bagels. It did take a while (over 15 minutes) for just a bacon egg and cheese and a baguette with cream cheese... I've gotten it at places a lot faster before. It also wasn't much sandwich for the price I paid, and I had to put the ketchup on myself bc they wouldn't do it... the sandwich itself was good though, and I really liked the texture and taste of the bread they used. I won't be coming back but I can't say this place is *bad*.

They had a good amount of seating (including both in the coffee area as well as surrounding the books). The service was friendly and they had a really good variety of books to choose from. I'd come here all the time if I lived close by.

I wish they had more separate tables and chairs bc it gets packed but this is a nice place to kill some time, come w ur partner, or just do some work. Their drinks are amazing! If I lived nearby I would come here every week to get their matcha's. Their food is just as good! I LOVE their hand pies!! I have not tried one that wasn't good. Their pastries are good quality too. If you've never been here idk what you're waiting for.

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.

The waitresses are great and attentive. They have complimentary buttered bread which was a great starter. We ordered from their specials menu starting with the famous meatball and cacio e Pepe with mushrooms and a Gorgonzola pasta. It was probably some of the best Italian food I've ever had. The meatball was amazing, words cannot describe it and the pastas were perfect with handmade noodles and the mushrooms just melted in your mouth. The portions were generous and they had great wine pairings available. Highly highly recommend. We texted to make a reservation which was very easy.

The restaurant layout is a little eccentric, but cute in a erratic way. There was the restaurant, an alcove, and a back patio. We sat in the alcove. We ordered the fresh made pasta with tomato and basil. That was very soft and the five year old ate up the half portion. (By the way they do have half portions.) We ordered the lamb ragu, which was very hearty and filling. I also ordered the pasta with seafood, which had heaping amounts of seafood. I think all were pretty fairly priced, considering the quality. The waitress we had was amazing. She helped us get our kid settled and knew exactly what she needed. She made some great suggestions and was overall the best. Great place!
