We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the oldest family-owned chocolate shop in New York State. Pretty amazing. The interior is like stepping back in time to the nineteenth century. The chocolates are delicious.

Been around for a long time and worth the expense! The chocolate is not cheap, but you get what you pay for!

Lucas Candies seriously has the best chocolate EVER! I also love the fact that it is a family run local business. The chocolate raisin candies and the chocolate caramel covered marshmallows are my favorite - YUM!

Wide variety of chocolates. Homemade, melt-in-your-mouth kind, absolutely delicious! Store hours do vary depending on the Holidays. Friendly staff. You wouldn't be disappointed if you stopped.

I grew up on Lucas and moved away about 10 years ago. I was in New York over the holidays and stepped back inside the store I knew as a kid and smelled the chocolate I remember smelling as a child. It brought back so many fond memories of the Lucas family. I could not BELIEVE it when the owner Nick Lucas told me that they had recently been on the TODAY Show and featured in Forbes magazine and Rachael Ray. When I was little it was like the little local candy store. Then I tried the PMS candy bar, which they didn't have when I was a kid, and OMG it's amazing. They also have these Gobs, they're soft marshmallows dipped in caramel and then dark and milk chocolate. They have new candy bars and my favorite clusters, OH OH OH and the chocolate covered pretzels, TO DIE FOR PEOPLE!!! If you are in Haverstraw, NY or on the East Coast just take the time to go to Lucas Candies. The store is very simple and not fancy, in fact it is like it was 40 years ago, even the original cash register from the 1800's is there, it is UNBELIEVABLE. There's just no place like it. Candy stores like this just do not exist in America today, they are older than Hershey's and their chocolate is one thousand times better. Make a pilgrimage to Lucas before you die!

Lucas Candies is so good, it's dangerous. If you have not tried Lucas, you have not had the best chocolate in the world. This little company is located in Haverstraw, New York, along the Hudson. It's an old fashioned candy store dating back to the late 1800's, older than Hershey's if you can believe that. The original family is still running it and they also sell their chocolate online. I learned about them on the TODAY Show, then read an article about them in Forbes. When I ordered the famous PMS candy bar and Gobs, I was hooked. The dark chocolate is amazing, very dense and thick and rich. The milk chocolate is very rich too, both very sweet. They also have this new candy bar called Gone Bananas, it has this peanut butter and marshmallow center with dried bananas in milk chocolate. My mother loves the In Therapy candy bar, which is dark chocolate with cookie bits and a thick layer of caramel in the center. I mean to tell you, this is the best chocolate I have ever tasted. I have to be careful though, it's addictive and goes straight to the thighs. SO PACE YOURSELF!!!

I love going into this store! The staff is friendly and colorful, the store has been around longer than Hershey's, and the chocolate is AMAZING! It's seriously addictive, especially the PMS bars and the gobs. This is a family-run chocolate store still run and operated by the same family. Beautiful logo too!
