Please make every attempt to visit this unique, charming establishment. It 's located on Main St., very close to UB South Campus. The inside is like stepping back in time; quaint bistro tables in a round room, original art deco lamps and candy counters, as well as an ice cream bar. Gorgeous! The factory is in a brick building in back. The sponge candy is delicious, far better than Platters or Oliver 's. There are several satellite stores, but the building itself is worth the trip to the Main St store.

My husband prefers dark chocolate sponge candy, while I enjoy milk chocolate, so we would need to buy a pound of it for nearly $30 in order for each of us to enjoy a piece.

That’s what this place needs, negative rating is what is befitting, just like the negative attitude and absolute rudeness my kids, my friend and myself encountered there today. My friend talked about how she grew up visiting this candy shoppe, good times etc. and wanted to give my kids some memories from here, on Good Friday! Nope, that didn’t happen, apparently Good Friday was busy to visit lol…that was the point of coming here today, old lady!!!. We were treated poorly ,first by being rushed by the woman at the candy stand, we brushed it off and had an even worse experience at the ice cream stand??‍. Sorry, old woman, sorry you had a knee replacement etc. You were so rude and I’m glad everyone else saw how you couldn’t handle a simple question of if we could place an order, gracefully. Your co- worker was nice enough to apologize because it was very clear, how rude you were. Thanks for ruining my kids’ day and believe me when I tell you, your negativity and lack of professionalism was seen by all. The grumpiest old woman I’ve ever seen.Today was the first and definitely the last time I ever step foot in there. If the last thing to save me is from this place, I would gladly perish.PS: Instead of defending your employee’s wrong actions, take feedback and train them on how to handle customers. Advice not carry their personal issues into the workplace and vent about it. All we wanted was ICECREAM. Accept wrong and do the needful.
