We had a great date night with a Samoa sundae. It was absolutely delicious 😋

Best chocolate in Buffalo.

The best sponge candy around. My mother even drives up from Rochester to get it.

Alethea’s Chocolates – Williamsville, NY 🍫🍦
If there’s a chocolate heaven, Alethea’s is it! My brother and sister insisted we find sponge candy, and this place delivered big time.
We were greeted by Sharon, who offered a sample of vanilla fudge (amazing!) before pointing us to the star of the show — sponge candy. It’s like caramel, honey, and toffee had a crispy, melt-in-your-mouth baby. I’m team dark chocolate, but milk chocolate fans won’t be disappointed.
The shop feels like Chocolate Wonderland meets a 1950s ice cream parlor — full of charm, color, and sweet nostalgia. I didn’t try the ice cream this visit (saving that for next time), but it looked incredible.
Friendly service, classic decor, and world-class chocolate — this is a must-visit in Williamsville.
Alethea’s made me believe in love at first bite. ❤️🍫

The ice cream presentation is pretty cool. The flavor was not as flavorful as it should have been. A little pricey for the portion size as well. It is decorated pretty neat for fall time 🍂🍁

Alethea’s Chocolates is a hidden gem. The building makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time to simpler days. The quality and offerings of chocolates here are unmatched. My family is in love with their sponge candy and anything orange chocolate flavored. If you haven’t been I highly recommend it. They also have an attached ice cream parlor with endless options. We live in North Carolina and always make sure to stop by Alethea’s while visiting family in the Buffalo area. Thanks Alethea’s for always making our trips to Buffalo even more special!
Added bonus if you’re a Buffalo Bills or Josh Allen fan, Josh’s favorite wing joint Bar-bills is just across the street and is also fantastic. Try Josh’s favorite wing flavor, the pizza logs, and the beef on weck, you won’t be disappointed!

I unfortunately didn’t have the pleasure of actually entering this establishment. I was supposed to be meeting my boyfriend here for a date but I wasn’t even able to get out of my car without an employee harassing me. She was sitting in her car, unrolled her window while I attempted to park, and before I even got out of my car she was questioning why I was parking there. I didn’t bother to answer her question, I asked if she worked there and why she was asking me and she immediately started saying how it was private property and me parking there was a liability because she thought I was going to the bar across the street. I got in my car, left, and we went somewhere else for desert. I’m not sure how good for business it is when you have employees harassing potential customers in your parking lot.
True to its niche, old fashioned ice-cream parlor, and amazing choclates. Everything is produced in house, and was delicious. Definitely cured my sweet-tooth for the week! Highly recommended stop when I the Buffalo area.

A staple chocolate store with a vintage ice cream shop right in Williamsville. With long and convenient open hours, the chocolate shop carries a large variety of fresh small batch confections. Sponge candy, malt balls, and truffles galore. I have also experienced one of their coconut themed sundaes and it is one of my favorite combinations when upgrading to the hot fudge they make there! Nice people, and they always have samples!

Great place to stop for chocolates and their ice cream parlor is like no other. So many options, you will want to come back again to try more. The staff here are fantastic!

This is one of my favorite places for sponge candy and ice cream. The staff is always very friendly and will always go out of their way to assist customers. The ice cream is really great, and it's somewhere I bring my family when they come into town to visit.

So many chocolate goodies in tons of shapes, sizes, and flavors. The ice cream was also great.
