Step into Crown Candy Kitchen and you step straight into a sweet slice of St. Louis history. The chrome stools, clattering soda glasses, and the smell of sizzling bacon tell you you are in for something special. Locals swear by the malts and the towering BLTs, and after one bite you will understand why. Come hungry, bring a friend, and prepare to make a memory you will want to repeat.
Legendary BLT Tower
The BLT at Crown Candy Kitchen is a local rite of passage, stacked with a mountain of thick-cut bacon that crackles with every bite. Toasted white bread, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce balance the salty richness perfectly. You will probably take photos before you take a bite, and then go quiet.
Order a side of chips, claim a red swivel stool, and watch the team build another masterpiece. Portions are generous, so sharing is smart, but finishing solo feels heroic. Once you taste it, you will understand the line out the door.
Old-School Chocolate Malt
The chocolate malt is creamy, cold, and perfectly malty, whisked in a metal cup like the old days. It arrives with a cherry on top and enough extra in the tin to refill your glass. Sip slowly and you will taste nostalgia dancing with cocoa.
Ask for it thick and they deliver a spoon-worthy texture that stands up to a hot afternoon. The balance of sweetness and malt keeps it from feeling heavy. You will finish it and immediately plan your next one.
Housemade Chocolate Counter
Rows of gleaming truffles, turtles, and chocolate-covered nuts lure you the second you walk in. Everything is housemade, and the aroma tells the story before a bite ever does. You can pick a custom box or snag a few pieces for the drive home…
