Store Front: Krause's Candy Kitchen, Chocolate Made in Queens

Krause’s Candy Kitchen is a magical walk back to the time when small shops ruled New York City. This unassuming storefront on the corner of Metropolitan Ave and 71^St Road in Forest Hills Queens has small town charm combined with homemade quality. As soon as you walk in the door, one is hit with the smell of chocolate which instantly takes me back to my childhood. With its plank wood floors and charming Victorian décor, Krause’s creates a small oasis in the middle of this busy area of Queens. Guitars, Horse Heads, Turkeys, and Santas are only some of the handmade creations that you will find here. It is quiet, small, and adorable. Since 1935 Krause’s has been making their own chocolate and creations on site. It has a small but quality toy section which is perfect for stocking stuffers. In a time when small businesses need all the help they can get, try to buy your Holiday goodies from a local gem like Krause’s.
