    Gourmet chocolate, gift ideas galore and helpful staff. This boutique chocolate and candy shop is a great stop off for anyone with a sweet tooth. We were greeted immediately and there was tons to see. We walked through the shop and took it all in, opting for some single order truffles and such to take home. All the truffles were super good with the classic dark chocolate one being a personal favorite. If you're looking for yourself or a gift this is a definite stop to make. They can do custom orders and have fun Bills stuff also. Overall: A+ Fun boutique chocolate spot!

    It's a cute chocolate/ice cream shop that smells quite delightful when you walk in. The chocolate & candy is to the left. I took a quick little cruise around this part. We were greeted and offered a sample of fudge while we were exploring. They had many items from homemade licorice & chocolates to bulk gummies. But, I was really here to try the ice cream, which is to the right after you walk in. The ice cream shop is set up with small metal tables for two with metal chairs that have a heart shape on the back of them. Upon entering we were greeted and offered a sample of rice pudding. I found it to be thick and flavorful. There was a decent selection of ice cream flavors and sundaes to choose from. I wanted to try two different flavors, so I had to opt for the double; it came to a little over $7.50... quite pricey for the size of the scoops in my opinion (see photo). Also, the ice cream was not really pushed down into the cone so it was empty... No one wants an empty cone! I chose the pistachio almond and cinnamon flavors. The pistachio almond had nice big pieces of almond in it and a smooth texture, but the pistachio flavor seemed too fake, like that of boxed pudding. The cinnamon was a hot cinnamon and it tasted like hot cinnamon candy with candy pieces throughout. They also had cheesecake in their case that looked good. I don't think I would return for ice cream considering the cost for the portion and there weren't any flavors that were so different I'd just have to come back to try them. All in all a good experience.

    A gem of a candy and icecream shoppe. You step into a different time when you walk through the doors. The decor is so nostalgic, the smell of chocolate hits you and it's absolutely beautiful in there.

    Yummmm!

    An absolute for your sweet tooth. There is everything under the sun there. I actually went in for some chocolate covered jellies and came out with more than I planned. ( no surprise there!) I also purchased two Carmel covered apples as an Autumn gift for my daughter. Unfortunately the dining room was closed - idk if it is a seasonal thing, but nonetheless it's worth a trip to stop by. Plenty of parking, easy access and great prices.

    A wonderful experience. Stopped in for a slice of homemade pie and a side of ice cream. A really nice place with a fun atmosphere and delicious desserts!

    Cherry Cordial Sundae

    They have some excellent desserts here. But occasionally you get a dud, like the apple pie that was on the shelf today. The inside of the crust was under done, the outside of the crust was overdone, and essentially flavorless. It needed to be cooked at a lower temperature and for a bit longer. Dribbling caramel on the outside of the crust is certainly fine, but it doesn't make up for a flavorless crust. The apple pie was also almost devoid of Apples. Very disappointing. The cherry cordial sundae was excellent, the coffee was excellent and the atmosphere is absolutely charming.

    Peach  parfait. Unreal. So good

    Absolutely blown away by this chocolate !! Loaded up on chocolate covered marshmallows as well as chocolate covered butter crunch and dark chocolate raisins. All are amazing. Was able to sample some items. Super nice lady who helped us, sorry can't remember her name. Sampled the fudge and ended up buying some . We also went next door to the ice cream shop and had an epic peach parfait . Highly suggest both the chocolate store and the ice cream shop. One suggestion do not come here hungry. Bought one of everything , will be back for sure the next time we are in the area. A++++

    Sponge candy sundae

    Alethea's is a very cute ice cream parlor and when you first enter, it almost feels like you are going back in time! We first went to the ice cream side and enjoyed a sponge candy sundae. I love how the shop was all decorated for Easter. They have so many options to choose from as well! After, we decided to stroll around the candy shop side. It was filled with Easter basket treats - chocolate bunnies of every size, a variety of novelty chocolates, sponge candy and fudge. We were even able to sample some fudge - which was very good!

    a must when in town, for your sweet tooth or for a gift …read more oldest building in town, nice people working there; good ice cream!

    To the Point:…read more Ordered $150 plus worth of product that was acknowledged but I never received. (Previously shopped at Watson's Chocolates, East Amherst,, Never had issues.....) Sadly disappointed at the customer service. I contacted the store for delivery specifics and I submitted an order online on the afternoon,12/16/25. I was informed by the (young sounding, likely high school age) employee that the orders usually ship 1-3 business days (according to the website US priority mail) but with the holiday may be up to 5 business days.....ok that will still work. I received an email shortly after I ordered online that the order was accepted and being processed. Card was charged on 12/17/25. Order was to have the items during the Christmas holiday. 12/27/25 No order arrived. I sent an email to address listed on website, inquiring about my order. STRIKE 1 12/30/25- NO response from mgt. STRIKE 2 12/30/25 called the store requesting to speak with a manager, request refused. Employee instructed me to send email to the address listed. I stated that had already had been done, had not received a reply, and requested again to speak with a manager, Denied. Employee stated and attempted to check store data base regarding order. Was told that they didn't have the access level to check deeper, Thus the reason to speak with a manager... No information, tracking regarding my order was accessed STRIKE 3 Was told it would be looked into and I would be notified via phone. I understand holiday is busy mail season, US Priority states 1-3 business days, 9 Business days later, no order arrived. Poor service and no confidence in any further order deliveries, based on my experience.

    Came in town for business but was not leaving without some delicious Watson's Sponge Candy. Shannon…read morewas the best!! So glad we stopped and met her at this location.

    Well first off, the good stuff... I went into this store and I have to say that the selection is…read moreincredible, the store was super clean and everything was laid out beautifully in the display cases and around the store itself. The lady behind the counter was super polite and very helpful with my selections. I typically do my chocolate shopping at one of the competitors stores however I thought I would try Watson's chocolate and my first impression was very high. One of the items I purchased was orange sponge candy and she had a little concern that maybe some of it wasn't up to the high standards that they try to abide by so she asked if you check the box first. She explained that during the summer time sometimes sponge candy doesn't survive the trip for too long so no problem I said she gloved up and checked all of them, found a couple that weren't passing her quality control standards so she replaced them. I took that box and a couple of other selections, paid and left. One of the other items I tried was fudge meltaway which I had never actually had before. Personally my wife and I didn't care for it however that is probably just our personal palate coming into play as I'm quite certain it wasn't prepared improperly or anything. The coconut patties were very good and the orange sponge candy honestly some of it was kind of chewy. The fact that she had some concern over the quality of this and felt the need to check it kind of threw up a little bit of a red flag for me and after getting it home and having some I'd have to say I'm a little disappointed. I'm not by any means a connoisseur of sponge candy or anything however if what she said was true about it staying fresh during the summer months and obviously she had some concern that it may not have been, why wouldn't you just pull all of it off the shelf and make more? I mean I used to manage a restaurant and it's the same idea in my opinion, if you're not happy with the food going out, don't send it. I would rather have purchased just milk chocolate sponge candy and been reassured that they didn't have orange because it failed their quality check. So I took one star off what would have been a five star review for that reason, the other one I took off because I couldn't find the building. If you approach this location from the side that I did, the side that faces a little strip mall with a good sized parking lot, there is no signage of any kind anywhere that says hey this is a store that sells chocolate. It just looks like a house sitting on a separate property off to the side. My GPS said I was there, I'm driving around the parking lot for 5 minutes looking at all of the store fronts trying to find Watson's chocolate, and it doesn't exist. I finally put my GPS on walking directions and found myself approaching like I said what looked like somebody's big old house... And I didn't even feel comfortable doing that until I got about 6 ft from the door where there's a sheet of paper sized sign that says Watson's chocolate and has the hours posted. I mean seriously something that could be seen from the road would have been nice, something that could have been seen from the parking lot would have been even better. Apparently if you approached this from the other direction there's a great big sign so I would have had to have driven past it not realizing it and did a u-turn and then I would have said oh there it is. The lady working inside like I said was very super polite and I suggested that to her and she kind of looked at me and said the owners are aware of it but they haven't done anything about it yet. I'm guessing nobody local has a problem because yeah they probably know where this place is however I live over 3 hours away and didn't have a clue. So yeah I'm kind of mixed as far as my opinion of the actual chocolate, I might go back and try a couple other selections and see how they taste. If I do I will try a different sponge candy, maybe one that sells more often so the stock is rotated more often.
