Lucas Candies is a charming, old-fashioned candy shop in Haverstraw, NY, making handmade confections since 1896. The store is a local staple, described as being straight out of a Hallmark movie with seasonal decorations, penny tiles, and a classic candy counter. It is renowned for having the absolute best, creamy, and perfect chocolate in New York, with recipes handed down through generations. Customers love the homemade chocolate, including raisin clusters, crispy rice clusters, and assorted boxes of milk, white, and dark chocolate, as well as peanut butter bars, jelly beans, and other candies. The shop offers fun in-store events for all ages. These include watching candy canes being made and the popular Lucas Candies Tavern, which features local beer and wine tastings expertly paired with their fantastic chocolate. The service is excellent, with welcoming and kind staff. The overall experience, from the delicious smells to the unique pairings and festive atmosphere, makes it a beloved destination worth a special trip.
It is a nice little place to stop in and stay a moment. I recommend the dark chocolate covered raspberry chocolates. Yumm

We had a very nice experience with the staff as well as enjoyed the smells of chocolate and peppermint as we watched them make candy canes!

Came for candy cane show & stayed for flight/chocolate pairings. Excellent service, delicious chocolate. Weve known this place existed forever but the additions are so fun.
