Lexington Candy Shop

Cute spot, very friendly staff. No frills little hole in the wall diner. Been here forever. This is my 2nd visit in 20 years. The French fries are surprisingly really good, thin and crispy.

This luncheonette has been on my list of places to go for many years. Always a long line that goes around the corner, but it moves quickly. The staff inside is very nice. The food is very basic and simple. They’re known for their traditional sodas. Root beer floats. And desserts. I would definitely go here for the nostalgia factor and to have a Coca-Cola done in the traditional style. Give this place a try if you’re in the area and remember it’s like going to a luncheonette in the early 1900s. Don’t expect much from the food and you’ll have a good time. The cost of the food is on the expensive side, but that is to be expected.

Very nice time with my family. The recommendations and the food and drinks were really good. We tried the traditional fountain coke and also de the egg cream (amazing!!!) And so far, my favorite. We also order the mini burguers (starters) and the meat was juicy and savory. The place transport you to another time, but the popularity is more for the old way to serve the sodas than the place itself. Was good for just one time to visit, at least for us. 🥤🍔🍨

Had a great time here! We got multiple types of cokes just to try. We weren't too hungry so we just grabbed a bagel and it was very good. The place was fairly busy but the wait wasn't bad. Ended up talking with the owner for a bit. He was a very nice guy and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend visiting!

This wonderful place is serving as New York City's oldest family-run luncheonette. Even more extraordinary is the fact that the shop has maintained its original 1940s aesthetic and traditional soda fountain methods for over nine decades. It is one of the very few places left that makes soda the old-fashioned way—using chilled carbonated water, flavored syrups, and a spoon. Tip: of ypu don.t want to stay at the table, don.t wait in line - just go in, grab a drink amd be on your way.
