Harry Karandzieff and best friend Pete Jugaloff merged their entrepreneurial dreams and candy-making skills in 1913 to open Crown Candy Kitchen in now-historic Old North St. Louis. A classic diner menu, featuring house-made egg or tuna salad sandwiches, Reubens, and chili dogs, complements the retro décor complete with soda fountain and pictures of WWII bombers. The kitchen still makes its own chocolate for candies and to top their legendary ice cream. The signature items, however, are the 24-ounce malts and milkshakes, with flavors ranging from the classic chocolate to marshmallow, pineapple, and seasonal delights such as pumpkin and eggnog. No alcohol available. Serving lunch and dinner daily.
