The salesperson was very nice and helpful, but the candy we bought was stale, old and some of it inedible. Before buying I gave pause because the place didn’t look like it kept good fresh inventory, but after reading the recent stellar reviews on here I gave it a try. It was a real disappointment.

$8 for half a scoop of ice cream. Don’t waste your time stepping in the door. Place is a joke.

$5 for a1/2 cup of ice cream in a bowl?! The shop's energy was off and found it to be dirty and unorganized.

It’s actually a bit of a depressing shame that you can mess up a candy shop, but here we are. It’s not clean or organized and there aren’t scoops to pick out candy, which means each jar is filled with… other people’s hands… I not one to give a poor review but I’m doing it in the hopes that they change or hire and organizer or cleaning crew. Sad. ?

I got vegan chocolate covered Oreos and they were delicious! 10/10 would satisfy my chocolate craving again.

New owners and it shows - they aren’t taking care of the place. Flies all over and who knows how long the candy has been sitting around. So unfortunate because it’s such a cute little shop!

An absolutely incredible array of tasty sweets. The owner seems to have endless creativity. Old school, new school, all the schools. Felt like a kid in a candy store ? A definite destination. If you are within 50 miles of Kingston, get your butt over to Kingston Candy store.

Diane specially made gingerbread cookies for our anniversary party, they were a hit with all attendees! And you must try the happy husband or one of the s’mores brownie bombe things! Always smells delightful in there-the cinnamon toasted pecans are
Went for the first time at the snowflake festival, the guy I ordered from was very pleasant, I got a sparkly hot chocolate with a huge marshmallow and it was amazing! They gave us a little bag of free popcorn too I’ll definitely be
I always order my cakes here for bday parties. They are so nice and efficient. The cake and candy is delicious! I am a happy regular!

My daughter loves this place, her eyes go wide she is pulled in many directions to where she wants to go and asks for EVERYTHING, as a child should. I love how kid friendly they with an age appropriate movie everytime we've visited to the assortment of candy, I am even brought back to my childhood. Their specials draw me in all the time and they never disappoint. The staff is always so friendly and light up when they see my daughter, makes you feel at home.

Kingston Candy Bar is a staple of Kingston and for good reason! They not only offer bulk candy, but lots of unique homemade treats like giant peanut butter cups and other confections. Even vegan options! The staff is also very helpful - I came in looking for decorative Xmas sprinkles and the owner sold their own personal supply to me. 10/10 all around!

Kingston Candy Bar is a walk into the best memories of childhood with its huge assortment of novelty candies and attentive, warm service--without any pressure to buy. In addition to the old-fashioned candies, there is plenty of homemade chocolates, fudge, cookies and other treats. The owner, a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, has put her heart and soul into this oasis, providing the perfect landing for all who enter. When I have visitors from out of town, they cannot go home until we take a trip to Kingston Candy Bar. Well worth the trip to Kingston.

The place is amazing and staff is always friendly and helpful! There was a specific candy my son wanted that was in high demand and I had reached out to them via facebook about when they were going to be restocked. They replied immediately and were able to get me the item quickly and had let me know when I’d be able to come pick it up. I loved how easy it was! I’ve never had such great service before! Such a great experience!
