After an outstanding dinner at Hayes Seafood in Buffalo we made our way to Alethea's Chocolates for…read moredessert. Alethea's is named for the great grandmother of the current owners who started making candy in Greece over a century ago. The current shop is located in a charming, historic house in Williamsville - everything is made on the estate. Alethea's has an outstanding selection of icre cream and chocolates. We opted for the two-scoop almond butter toffee sundae which has vanilla and chocolate ice cream infused with almond butter toffee crumbles from the chocolate store. Drizzled in home-made choclate and caramel sauces and topped with freshly whipped cream, the ABT sundae is a decadent tribute to the fine art of creamery perfection. On our way out, we bought a pound of a Buffalo staple - chocolate covered sponge candy. Alethea's is a must-stop for anyone with a sweet tooth!

The chocolates here are more of a niche, artisan style than your typical candy shop -- true works of art. They had everything from footballs to skulls, and the flavors were complex and creative. Personally, I prefer the more traditional treats like chocolate-covered marshmallows and sponge candy, but if you're into fancy, upscale chocolates, this is definitely your spot.

Every piece of chocolate is more beautiful than the next. This trip I got not your average Easter Chicken and some beautiful eggs as well. Along with some yummy side treats. The Chicken and the eggs are filled with different selections of chocolate depending on what you pick. But they are all delicious and just lovely! They have a large selection of vegan chocolate along with dark and milk chocolate in so many shapes and sizes. With a window to watch the chocolatiers create their masterpieces, you can't go wrong at Blue Table.

I used to go in there for ice cream sundaes all the time with my mom and they were always so good and I'm sure they're still the same way. They have a nice selection of chocolates in there. They have a lot of sponge candy. Milk, chocolate, dark, chocolate, and orange sponge candy. They have tables inside so you can sit down and eat your sundae or whatever else you order. They have all different kinds of candy, not just limited to chocolate. Like I said, they are expensive, but I think that goes with any specific candy store. I wanted to buy so many things in there, but did not have the money to do it. If you've never been in there, go and look around, have a Sunday, sit down and relax, and it's nice air conditioning.

There are a few samples during the tour, and a LOT of samples after the tour in the gift shop.

I would definitely recommend for anyone traveling with kids (and even adults who love chocolate). :)

There's a nice variety of truffles, a couple of flavors of sponge candy and much more... There are many differing chocolate to choose from... chocolate covered oreos, pretzels and nuts...

I placed an order to be shipped. With shipping it totaled almost $300. Most of the items were…read moreintended to be gifts. When the large box arrived I opened it immediately. To my horror there were only two "dry ice" bags. One was completely empty. The other had torn open and the contents soaked into a couple of boxes of chocolates. Those boxes were gift-wrapped, but the liquid ruined (warped) the boxes and the wrapping paper. I let Watson's know. Their response was pretty much "Hey, if the chocolate is ok, it's your problem. That's the risk of buying chocolate over the summer". And the ironic thing is I wasn't expecting them to refund any money or replace the chocolate. I was letting them know because I think someone who packed my order made an epic goof up and I thought they might want to avoid that in the future. Well, instead I'll be avoiding them.

On a sunny day there is nothing like walking down Main Street in Williamsville and trying the local cuisine. For a great after dessert, I would recommend walking down to Sweet Jenny's on Spring Street just off of Main. I've done this on many occasions and their ice cream is always a delight. There's usually a long line, but it goes really fast and the service is with a smile. I like a nice scoop of strawberry ice cream, like the one you see in the picture. As an added bonus, if you get there before 6pm, there is a comic book store inside on the upper level! I scored a Dr Strange #6 from 1974. So grab your ice cream, and sit in the shade and read your comic books to the sound of a waterfall at Glen Park located just behind Sweet Jenny's. There's nothing like it.
