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!

Ice cream for dinner? Yes, please!…read more Condrell's has been a neighborhood staple since my childhood and the quality has never wavered. You simply cannot beat the sundaes here. The sauces are all homemade and in my opinion, they're really the star of the show. If you want to go all out you can get the "king's portion" double scoop sundae, but I appreciate that they also serve single scoop "queen's portions" for a slightly lower cost. The staff are always friendly and efficient, willing to make modifications so that you can craft the ice cream of your dreams. Worth noting is the very silly water station near the front door. Condrell's has always served tiny glasses of water, which is now offered in Dixie cups that you fill yourself. If you're trying to stay super hydrated these baby sized cups aren't going to meet your needs, but I have come to expect them and think they add to the charm of the venue.

First of all, all the ladies working were very friendly! Kindness always goes a long way for me! Also with the orders I picked up, there was a little wait, because they truly make things fresh! I was really blown away by the assortment of Easter chocolate! I mean almost every theme you can think of, they have chocolate to represent it! I had to hold myself back from muting myself an amazing purse and high heel made of chocolate! All of my exclamation points are totally relative to my amazement lol (I am also thinking of Elaine Benes right now for any fellow Seinfeld fans). What I did buy was a giant music note of chocolate for my son's Easter basket .. he makes music and I am excited to give him this... And to mention: although the largest variety was milk chocolate, there is plenty of dark chocolate and white chocolate available too! I will update my review when I come back to try a dessert one of these days!

My sons enjoyed them, but I wouldn't buy them again. I had a grasshopper pie. $4.75 seemed like a much more reasonable price relative to the cookies, but the pie itself was very bland. I could taste the barest hint of mint, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the filling was. It had a very empty, artificial quality to it. My sons finished it, and enjoyed it. Maybe it was an off day since all my friends seem to love them, but I was not impressed.

I looked over their menu and at first glance decided that I couldn't possibly allow myself anything on it. All these cakes, chocolates, ice cream (they use Sweet Jenny's from Williamsville) -- no way would they be good for me! I already engulfed like a pound of Thai food for God's sake! Low and behold, my eye spots the word "healthy" on their menu. Eureka! Dare I read closer? "Supernatural Brownie." Is it supernatural because it's healthy? That must be it! Made with something like 87% Dark Chocolate (with healthy antioxidants), this brownie must be the healthiest dessert in all of mankind. I must order it! So I did, along with a cup of coffee (it was the only truck serving warm coffee). Verdict? Each bite was indeed a supernatural explosion of sweet flavors, dopamine and euphoria flooding my brain. I gave a friend a bite and she was equally amazed and commented that "she could taste the butter." Wait. Hold on. This isn't healthy, is it? Damn. I thought..maybe it was? Well, it is. It's healthy for the soul. That's it. Yes. 5 stars for the dessert. 3 stars for the coffee. I'd love to see some Stumptown or artisan-roasted coffee brewed here with a lot of love. Then again, we do have a truck for that (Rolling Joe's).

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.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The whole experience felt so... dystopian. The person at…read morethe counter was handing out cookie boxes for pickup but was clearly not taking orders, so we figured out that all the ordering is done on the ipad-style kiosks along the side wall. No signage indicates this, you just have to know I guess. There is an example of each of the current cookies on the main counter, which was nice because the photos in the app were pretty unappealing and didn't look like the actual cookies, to the point I wondered whether the app is using AI pictures based on the descriptions. Payment is done at the kiosks too. There is very little human interaction. Ambiance: The waiting space is very tiny with no chairs or benches. Decor is sparse, visually uncomfortable, and uninspired. Cookies: Sugar overload. The cookies are large but spendy. They were so sweet and rich, we ended up cutting them in half and putting several into the freezer (cookies freeze perfectly). I liked the flavors, but nothing was mind-blowing or especially original. Cookie texture is moist and chewy, almost like brownies. Would I eat them if they are gifted to me? Yes, absolutely I would. Would I come back otherwise? Unlikely.
