Antoinette’s Sweets - Hot fudge sundae with homemade whipped cream - Desserts Near Me - Depew, New York

Super disappointed. Took my daughter here to celebrate a special day. I got a hot fudge sundae with cookies and cream ice cream and she got the dirt road sundae. Both of our ice creams were extremely lacking in flavor. My ice cream had faint undertones of mint, as if it was stored or made next to mint ice cream. Yuck. The hot fudge was also severely lacking in flavor . The best thing was the malt powder, just because it was so different and intriguing. I am fine with paying a premium for delicious homemade ice cream. This failed on all accounts and we really feel like we wasted money. Neither of us finished our desserts. My daughter was disappointed that what was supposed to be a nice celebration was quite a bummer. read more

Antoinette’s Sweets - Looks great. Tastes like very little of anything at all. Flavors are SO LACKING - Desserts Near Me - Depew, New York

My fiancé had been talking about this place for the past 5 years and when we finally went to Buffalo, I knew we had to go! They're an old family business and have been serving ice cream and chocolate to Buffalo since 1915. Absolutely everything, from the sponge candy, to the ice cream, to the chocolate, is phenomenal. I especially liked the little white chocolate animals and the ice cream sundaes that we had. You can also order things and get them shipped to you, which we are going to have to do! If you're in the Buffalo area, you need to try Antoinette's! read more

Just consider me Dorothy of Oz.... There's no place like Antoinette's Sweets.. they are the best in the chocolate world.. I've had their banana splits many times.... It's the original banana split right on down to the homemade whipped cream... however today I just picked up some dark chocolate, milk chocolate, orange chocolate and some peanut butter filled chocolate... I like the fact that they will ask if you'd like it wrapped for Christmas as a gift or packed because you're traveling... all free of charge...! What a delightful Christmas this will be. read more

Party of 4 gals for an after work treat. One ordered a strawberry milkshake, surprised at the price of over $10.00. It had an artificial taste. Very disappointed! The sundaes were better, but the water was horrible. Now everyone washes down the sweet taste with water, right, well one sip of the water made you gag. Tasted like chemicals! We told the staff, but they are just staff and probably won't tell the owner. read more

Antoinette's is a local staple. They've been open forever and they're known for delicious sundaes and chocolate galore! I came in recently to get a box of chocolate as a gift. There were many pre made boxes to choose from, but I decided to select a variety of truffles instead. When I told them it would be a gift, they even wrapped the box for me. Service was great. I highly recommend stopping in, to either enjoy some ice cream, or pickup chocolate. read more

I used to come here as a little girl and still try to come back every time I'm back in town. We drive 40 mins to get their cherry blossom sundae and ugh...so worth it. Everything about it is so delicious - the ice cream with marshmallow sauce and a bit of crushed up maraschino cherries. And the whipped cream. So good. I also just love browsing their chocolate selection. The BEST sponge candy IMO! read more

Delicious treats served in a classic setting. I was shown Antoinette's while on a family trip out east. There were a few people dining in and casually enjoying their frozen desserts and chatting in a booth. We stopped in for some frozen custard on our way to the airport. I wish we had more room in our suitcases for some of their chocolates! We will be back. read more

Perfect place to pick up something sweet the the family. The ambiance is casual with the old ice cream parlor. They provide chocolates and candies inside which makes it the perfect place to pick up local sweets as a gift. The service is always quick.

Highly recommend! read more

I'm not a very huge candy person, but this place has the best chocolate ever!! We picked up some chocolate for the holidays!! They're honestly the best Christmas gift you can give somebody!

For some reason, this place brings me happy memories! read more

Classic homemade ice cream. I always order the hot fudge sundae topped with real whipping cream, hot fudge, cherry sauce and pecans. It is served in a classic metal ice cream dish with a glass of water to follow. They have tables and old fashioned booths to sit in. After you are done with your ice cream walk over to the store side loaded with homemade chocolate and candy treats for purchase. I make a point to stop here whenever I visit family in Buffalo. read more

Antoinette’s Sweets - Enjoying a hot fudge sundae. - Desserts Near Me - Depew, New York

When I was a little girl (in the 60's), my friends and I would walk to Antoinette's to get a hot fudge sundae or a root beer float. It was just as charming back then as it is now. It was their sponge candy that made me want to try my hand at it, and I now make 22 different kinds... and yet... I'll still get some of theirs once in a while. I turned my son-in-law onto the place and now, every time they're in town, they have to go there for ice cream. My brother is addicted. My sister has to stop when she's in town as well. From their ice cream to the delicious whipped cream (none of that fake stuff here), to the candy and the atmosphere, it's a really special place. read more

I have always loved the charm of Antoinette's. My good friend from high school and her family used to take us here from time to time so it holds a little sentiment in my heart. Other than great memories - this place has amazing ice cream and home made whipped cream. I love the huge counter you order at and can see the production behind it as the staff make up the sundaes. They also have a ton of home made chocolates for sale and every Easter they put an enormous chocolate bunny on display. Antoinette's is the perfect spot for any sweet tooth craving for sure. read more

Stopped in to grab a few chocolate covered creams , asked for buttercream, orange, strawberry and a few chocolate covered cherries. First off it took the girl what seemed like 10 minutes to put together a dozen chocolates... didn't take them from the beautiful display case rather somewhere in the back... next unpleasantry she was less than friendly. I took the box headed to my car and took a bite of one as I was exiting the parking lot. STALE! Same for the next one! I should have gone right back in but was headed to an appointment... called the store when I had a free minute and explained this unfortunate incident. Told the clerk the candy was stale, she responded "it's not stale"... Then she abruptly asked me to call and talk with a manger or the owner in the morning. So word to those looking to stop in for candy particularly any of the chocolates... don't waste your money. I've had ice cream treats here in the past, once... can't really mess that up. I won't be returning. read more

Best home made whipped cream cream . I could eat it all day. Great ice cream . Strawberries and I cream with whipping cream the best

This establishment has been around forever, and hopefully will stay around forever. It is still owned by the same family that ran it when I was a child. The ice cream quality was excellent then, and is excellent now. The candy selection is very good - and delicious as well. Over the years, I've tried many things from the menu, and I've even had a sundae spilled on my head (in high school) - and I've loved everything. This time I ordered a refreshing Mint milkshake. The cherry on the sundae is that the service is super friendly. A great family place: take the kids, grandma and grandpa and ME! read more

I finally had the opportunity to visit Antionette's for their famous ice cream! The shop is super cute with loads of handmade chocolates, and different pastries and other things to try. They've got everything you could imagine on shelves including all the fancy truffles and sponge candy! They make their ice cream home made and have a bunch of different flavors and sundae's to try. They serve it on a little plate with two waters and have a couple of booths in store which I thought was a nice touch. Cool place I'll be back for some more ice cream for sure! read more

Best old school ice cream shop, hands down. The inside atmosphere is really cool. Many things look old fashioned and classic and it feels like you're in a 50's malt shop! The staff are great and extremely helpful. They will also pick up your dishes for you when you're done. They also give you a glass of water with your order which is nice. I ordered the hot fudge sundae with pineapple sauce and topped with whipped cream. No complaints but I also asked for extra hot fudge My fiancé ordered the turtle sundae with hot fudge and caramel, which was outstanding. Antoinette's also sells fine chocolates that they make in house. Visitors have to try the Buffalo Classic: sponge candy! They gift shop also has little stuffed animals and toys for kids as well. This is a favorite spot of mine that I visit often. I would most certainly come back! read more

So grateful Antoinette's is still open for takeaway orders! I was able to grab miniature Buffaloes, Greek mints, and fruit slices for a very special early Christmas delivery. Antoinette's has the best tasting chocolates, real whipped cream on their handcrafted sundaes, homemade ice cream, and the biggest selection of confections in Western New York. read more

I love Antoinette's! This is the perfect place to get a sweet fix. My husband ordered a strawberry shake and I ordered a chocolate milkshake. The thickness and flavor never disappoints. They have multiple options so you can customize what you would like. They also have an option for thicker shakes which I will try at some point. I do think that their parking lot is pretty small which can be inconvenient, however at least right now since we have been doing take out it hasn't been a problem for us due to COVID-19 (we have been doing mostly take out!) I'm sure I'll be back for another milkshake soon! read more

The wife and I stopped in about a week ago because we were in the area and looking for something to satisfy our sweet tooths. My wife had a chocolate peanut butter sundae, I opted for a pre-made sundae, the butter crunch crumble. Everything was OK, and my wife very much liked hers, but I wasn't crazy about mine. A specific issue for me was the butterscotch sauce. I was hoping for something a little closer to the traditional butterscotch sauce you'd expect, what I got was probably home made (which is cool) but it was much less flavorful. We may be back in the future, if we are at some point, I'd happily amend this score if we have a better experience. read more

This is owned by a french girl named Marie. Originally it was a bread shop, but one day they ran out of bread. The assistant manager said "Marie, we have no bread" and she responded "let them eat cake." The assistant said "we're out of cake too. We're out of baked goods in general." So then Marie responded "let them eat ice cream and sponge candy." And so the Antoinette's we now know and love, was born. What to get: Coconut Ice Cream, Chocolate Ice Cream, Shakes. Repeat: *Get the ice cream!* I've tried ice cream all over the place, from Nantwich in England to Nantucket to Nunavut... okay, I've never tried ice cream in Nunavut. Nor have I been to Nunavut. And I've probably never eaten ice cream in the other places either. But my point is, I never expected to find some of my favourite ice cream in the world, right here in Buffalo. But I did. Oh, how I did. Ant owns the place, and the employees are sick of him forcing them to wear hair nets. Hence the business name: "Ant... Why Nets???" So I told you the ice cream here is the best in the land. But I didn't tell you the secret. Guess what. I know the secret, too. I shall now reveal it. In a second. OK, ready. Here goes. (Clears Throat). Sorry my bf left something in there, ew... salty taste. OK, sorted. Anyway. Here's the secret/ Antoinette's ice cream uses way, way, way more milk than it should. It's like, the highest percentage milk fat ice cream ever, like, in history. I'm not sure of the exact statistics but the percentage is way higher than basically everyone else including Jesus Christ himself. Yes Jesus makes ice cream, you didn't know that, call yourself a Christian. What's that? You're not a Christian? I wasn't talking to you though. I was talking to her. (Points). Her with the cross around her neck. Yes. Exactly. OK so. The milk. Lots of it. Tons even. Which is why their ice creams taste so delectably, delightfully, devillishly milky and thick and heavy. And *amazing*. They're just made so, so well. I was told that the coffee ice cream sucks, by an employee (I'm not kidding). I liked it... but she was right in that there wasn't much of a coffee taste. Very smooth and sexy and creamy and definitely not strong. If you like it strong, don't get the Coffee IC, just invite me home instead. I tried the coconut and the chocolate ice creams and both of them are like, a 10 out of 5. They are phenommmmmmmenal. I don't even like sweets in general, but I've been back about 10 times in a year to try both the chocolate and the coconut... again and again. I've even been here when it's snowing (check the pictures). I've also had the chocolate milkshake (which is really good... I had it made with vanilla ice cream... will have to try it with chocolate ice cream next time...) and the banana milkshake (which was not very good because I think the bananas used were too ripe), and then the coconut milkshake (which rivals the coconut shake from Handels in Ohio/PA, and I cannot possibly give it a better compliment than that)... The Chocolate and Coconut shakes must be tried. Over and over. Try everything once. Try these shakes once a week. Rules to live by. In my extensive experience, there is no better ice cream shop in WNY than Antoinette's. It's right up there with Handel's (OH, PA) and a couple of places in NYC as my favourite in the country. I don't say that lightly. Bravo, Antoinette's. Bravo. Edit: They have half off ice cream if you go when it's snowing. And since we're talking about Buffalo... that means you get half off ice cream about 260 days a year... ;) Double Edit: They're open pretty late too (9 or 10 most nights). And they have nice decor and plenty of seating. If decor and seating are your thing. I've also tried the Sponge Candy here and it was good, but better at Alethea's. I'll need to try it again and then update my review. And if your kids have no bread to eat tonight, then just do a "Marie Antoinette..." Bring them here... and "let them eat (ice-cream) cake!" read more

Antoinette's is a one of a kind local place. I got a butter cream sundae which was expensive and a size to share with more than one person. I like how they have a candy shop there and the old fashion look of the restaurant. I believe they make their own ice cream and it's very rich and flavorful. The sundae was awesome and after a few bites I felt full. You have to go to the restaurant with an empty stomach and a positive attitude. The service was quick and they made it easy. I would try it again and maybe get a smaller serving size or share a sundae with someone. read more

This place does not fail to impress! It's incredible with its old-school diner decor and its absolutely delicious ice cream. I will drive out half an hour to bring someone new here and watch them be amazed in ecstatic glory as they bite into HOME-MADE ice cream, whipped cream and the whole sha-doozle! It's incredible. The portions are also huge -- a small sundae will set you straight, unless you're ravenously hungry (but you're coming here for desert, not dinner--right??). Do yourself a favor and venture down to the bathroom and on the way observe the intricate secrets of Antoinette's sweet shop. You'll walk past A LOT of sweets and see that this is the real deal. Maybe you can memorize everything they do and open up a clone-shop so I don't have to drive all the way to Depew? That would be swell. read more

What a gem! We don't have places like this in the GTA. After reading favourable reviews, I drove out of the way to indulge in a sundae and I was not disappointed! The place looked closed when I arrived, but I think it was just an off-time. The lady who took my order answered all my first-timer questions patiently and I decided on a Classic Sundae w/ whipped cream (a-MUST!), hot fudge, with homemade pumpkin ice cream. It was lovely and it's obvious that everything is made in-house! Nothing was clawingly sweet or syrupy! After asking about the hot fudge, I was kindly offered a sample and it wasn't too sweet. It was actually good. Pumpkin ice cream was subtle and had a nice, soft texture. Not icy cold or hard! You guys are soo lucky to have Antoinette's! I'll be back. read more

My boyfriend remembers this place fondly from when he was a kid. He's gotten me chocolates from here for holidays. The dark chocolate covered cherries are divine (my fav) as is the chocolate covered pineapple (boyfriend's favorite). Out of the other chocolates I think I liked the kirsh cherry ones best. Sensing a preference? On ice cream I tried some just yesterday and their coconut ice cream is positively perfect. Little bits of coconut in the ice cream and it has a really nice coconut flavor. You know you're eating coconut ice cream. I am not a fan of their whipped cream. I'm sure it's real and they put a ton of it on your sundae, it's just a little seemingly over-whipped or something. It left a buttery feeling in my mouth when eating it. Next time I'll say, no whipped cream. Ice cream and toppings were great. Crushed cherries, hot fudge really good. Boyfriend couldn't taste much pineapple in his pineapple temptation sundae though. Maybe they should add a bit more pineapple sauce to that one. ;) read more

My dad used to bring us here when we were little. This multi-generational family business makes the best ice cream, whipped cream, sauces, sodas, sundaes, and chocolates. Even with having to make changes over time due to differences in suppliers or other things they have worked very hard to maintain both the atmosphere and the quality of everything. And they are still here after the craziness of 2020! If you like old fashioned ice cream parlor vibes and goodies, this is the place! They also have a great selection of stuffed animals that we definitely benefited from as kids. :) Btw, even if you order one of the pre designed sundae combos, you can substitute. You can combine flavors, too! You can totally custom design your soda or sundae. It has prices for each syrup or topping listed. I rarely order off the menu and almost always customize. read more

Took a soon to be 1 year old for her first visit to Antoinette's. She seems to like whip cream almost as much as her Mother and myself. This place never disappoints.

This is a high-class fancy ice cream be parlor and chocolate shop. There are tons of molded chocolates from tools to chicken wings to sports balls. The special sundaes are huge, and come to about $9. I gave 4/5 stars since they are expensive. At least a third of my sundae was homemade whipped cream. It's great if you love that but it's not my favorite and I wasn't expecting so much whipped cream. There were plenty of places to sit and my friends and I were a little confused at first because no one came over to greet us, but once we approached the ice cream counter, they were very friendly and willing to help. Not sure if this is a covid thing or not. Not a complaint, just a heads up to go to the counter for great service. Fun place to meet up with friends and they didn't rush us out, but bring a coat since it's a bit drafty with all the big windows. Would go again! read more

This has become one of my favorite spots for ice cream in WNY. The shop looks like it's been there forever. They have a pretty big selection of candies and chocolates. They have another section for ice cream, and tables and booths to sit at. I went straight for the ice cream menu. There's tons of sundaes to choose from and a sign that says even their whip cream is made in house. I ordered a sundae with vanilla and raspberry ice cream. It was HUGE. It was beautiful, I loved it. The home made whip cream was so good I could've happily eaten a bowl of that by itself. I absolutely fell in love with my sundae and have to come back to eat more ice cream. read more

Antoinette's is a neighborhood classic, beloved by all who live in the area. My wife insists on stopping here every time we are in the area, and she talks my ear off about the childhood memories she has of the place. I appease her, because it's just too good to pass up. Everything here is homemade and that is a rare thing these days. The ice cream is so rich and creamy. I always get the black raspberry, without fail. My wife usually does too, except in the summer when she gets their seasonal orange pineapple. We always go for it in a dish with either hot fudge or sprinkles (or both) and you can't go wrong. I will say I'm not whipped cream fan, it's very thick here but i do like a little bit. They serve the ice cream on trays with little water glasses, that according to my wife haven't changed in 25 years. That's the thing- nothing has changed since she was a little girl and i find that to be amazing. Also, you absolutely can't discount the chocolate. Also homemade, and yeah I'll say it- the best in the area. Without a doubt. When i mess up, or for a special occasion, their sponge candy is always the answer. read more

I visited this place on September 13, 2018. The outside appearance is nice and visible, you can't miss it while driving down Transit. The inside has an older southern feel to it, but it's cool to experience if you're from the city like me. I was greeted immediately, it was so nice, she took my order very quickly and got started to make my thick old fashioned frosty milkshake (Root beer). I was really expecting a different taste, it wasn't what I imagined that's why I only gave this place 3 stars. I love Root beer shakes and this one disappointed me, it was not worth $5.71. The images below are of the Menu(front and back), where the shakes are made, the interior where candy is also sold and of my milkshake that wasn't even filled to the top. read more
