“ When we found out our daughter-in-law had never been to Crown Candy, we had to make the trip to this St Louis icon. Go when then open at 11am or you will get in the line outside. Booths only hold up to 4 people. Today we had Bre as our waitress. She is the best! My son and daughter-in-law split the Heart Stopping BLT and a bowl of chili, my hubby order the BLT. I got the Tuna Sandwich. Banana Malts for all. Food and service was excellent as always. Then, of course, we all got a treat from the candy counter in the way out. Fresh and delicious. I'd give more stars if I could. ”

“ Have been coming here my entire life, 40 years. Awesome atmosphere. The service is always fast, nice, and accommodating. Get yourself a malt and bacon sandwich. Then, get another shake or malt to go (in a difference flavor of course), along with your chocolate bunny and caramels. Love CCK! ”

“ Absolutely loved the old school theme of Crown Candy. Had to try the Heart Stopping BLT and it was well worth the $17 paid for it! ”

“ One visit and you'll know why its been around for 100 years. Crown Candy Kitchen sits in a neighborhood that was largely decimated by all the economic calamities that hurt many parts of St Louis. But it survives as an anchor that seems to be attracting some revitalization to the area. Lets hope it all works out ! They make their own ice cream and a wide assortment of candy. I got an old fashioned sundae with warm caramel and a ton of whipped cream and candied pecans. Holy cow ! How did we ever get away from places like this in favor of Dairy Queen? Something bad happened along that path. The menu features sandwiches and other lunch staples but the real draw is the soda fountain with the ice cream treats. Its not a big place so seating is limited. Couple that with its popularity and you can be met with a long line. It was a 45 minute wait on a Saturday afternoon so I came back Monday morning right when they opened. That might be your best plan if you want to avoid the wait. ”

“ An absolute must for those seeking out historical STL spots! Crown Candy has been open since 1913 and has maintained its classic soda shop interior while continuing to serve delicious and filling sandwiches, and of course amazing shakes and malts. The BLT is known for being enormous, and I always enjoy their roast beef and cheddar that comes on tasty grilled sourdough. You have to get a shake or a malt of course, I always opt for the classic chocolate. There can be a wait on the weekends, but it is worth it, and luckily we walked right in for a weekday lunch. ”

“ Almost too much bacon on the BLT. Key word almost. 16 bucks biggest BLT I've ever had . The wife ordered the roast beef melt, she said it was amazing. We split a strawberry malt , reminded me of the old McDonald's shakes back when they were good ”

“ Even though Crown Candy is a well-known staple here, I have only had a pleasure of enjoying it twice. The first time I came, I tried the BLT turkey club, which was really good with the chips and I tried orange ice cream very flavorful. I was just stopping to grab a tuna sandwich and some candy, but both were good. I typically am very iffy about buying tuna and restaurants, but they hit the nail on the head and I'll definitely be trying it again. One thing I love about this place is that it never loses its character. The two times that I went were pretty far spread and it felt just like the first time. The staff is really friendly and they make you feel like a regular. Love this gem. ”

“ Crown Candy Kitchen in St. Louis is an absolute staple in our community. Most people go for the sweets, but I go for the egg sandwich . It's simple yet perfect-- a fluffy egg mixture stacked high between buttery toasted bread. It is hands down the best in the world. Located in the Old North neighborhood, this old-school soda fountain is nostalgic and charming. Crown Candy's vibe is also something special, with its vintage decor, friendly staff, and old juke boxes at every table. This is a staple! Stop in and give them the same love they've given our community the last 100+ years. Crown Candy Kitchen in St. Louis is an absolute staple in our community.
