    Yummy ice cream!!! Inside was so cool. So fun to look at the wall of visitors. There were lots of chocolates and other sweets but they're pretty expensive compared to prices I'm used to. I got a double scoop so I could try the pumpkin gingersnap and Halloween treat flavours. The pumpkin one was very flavourful. I was glad I had another flavour to mellow it out. Both were great and very creamy. We sat outside to enjoy the sun. Very nice place

    Village favorite! Wide selection of homemade ice cream flavors. Some traditional, many unique. I always love browsing the candy and chocolate selections and checking out the comic books & collections upstairs. Service is great & it has a small town business feel.

    Wow! What a great place to stop for ice cream! From the delicious homemade choices, to the fun comic book stuff for sale, to the other treats, to the location by Glen Falls, this is a must stop destination for the warmer months! I have visited a couple of times, meeting friends to have lunch, walk around town and the falls, and grab a treat and have always been extremely satisfied with the visit! They have so many good choices of creamy, handmade options. I love their fresh waffle cones! Another thing that sets them apart from the abundance of yummy homemade ice cream in WNY is all the fun stuff in their shop! The upstairs has so many fun toys and trinkets to browse, and there are a variety of other candies for purchase that you can bring home so the treats don't stop. Location can be everything, and I highly recommend pairing a stop for ice cream with a walk around Glen Falls, what could be better?

    I like everything about this place. The history. The ambience. That it has indoor and outdoor service windows and outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful Glen Falls Park with your dog. The orange chocolate ice cream is worth traveling for. All of their ice cream is quite good. And all of their chocolates and confections are of high-quality. Although their menu says they have coffee, they don't. For some reason, Sweet Jenny's simply does not serve coffee, which is a shame because that would really make this place an ultimate dessert stop. When customers show the servers behind the counter on their phones, that the digital menu says coffee, they claim that it refers to coffee ice cream. When the weather is warm, there is nothing like walking the park with a cup of sweet Jenny's delicious ice cream in your hand.

    Sweet Jenny's was our after dinner treat for the day. It's a very cool, renovated historical building that once served as a flour mill, among other things. It was built in the 1800's. It's very interesting inside. Primarily a homemade ice-cream shop, they also have a lot of chocolate candy and other items for sale. You can view the ice cream production area through a large window. It can be busy but it's a stop you won't regret. It's a beautiful spot and a wonderful place to get some great ice cream. I had a Turtle Sundae. Yum.

    Buffalo is apparently know for 3 food items: Buffalo wings, beef on weck and sponge candy. And as a Giants fan, I will also remember them for that missed field goal that put them on the streak of 4 straight Super Bowl losses! I tried the wings and the weck, so I had to try this sponge candy. Sweet Jenny's was nearby and so picked some up. They are not cheap! 1/2 pound was 16.95. Wow! These sponges must be soaking up the $$$!! Were they worth it? Maybe if you never had it before. The toffee in the middle melts in your mouth and so you are left with a chocolate toffee mix that is pretty enjoyable. Think of a Heath bar but instead of the crunchy chewy toffee in the middle, it is a crisp center that disintegrates as you chew it. Not bad.

    While they no longer offer the toppings folded into the ice cream, Jenny's is still some great ice cream in the heart of Williamsville. I enjoyed the Cookie Monster (chocolate chip cookies and Oreo cookies mixed into some vanilla ice cream, dyed blue).

    Nothing goes together better than ice cream and summer. Sweet Jenny's is a staple when it comes to Williamsville and ice cream in WNY. I will say, I am not the biggest ice cream person. I enjoy it but I'm not the "every summer night needs ice cream" kinda guy. But this place really has something for everyone. We went with family to go grab ice cream, walk around Glen Park (stay tuned for that review too), and celebrate a couple of birthdays. When you walk in, there is a sense of nostalgia and almost wonder like quality. It reminds me of ice cream shops from my childhood that really established some core memories. Definitely some great vibes in this shop. I ended up getting some of their Oreo Cheesecake ice cream. Just a single serving which was a really great size and pretty good value-wise too. I also ended up finishing up some of the soft serve twist we had for my son. (We call that the Dad Tax) The ice cream was phenomenal when it came to flavor and it wasn't too frozen or too melty, just right in the consistency department. Overall, I gotta give it up to the staff here. They have quick service, super friendly, and put out a great product. There is also a Willy Wonka size amount and variety of candy available. Stay tuned for the dentist review I'll have after eating all of that too. So fun, and we will definitely be back for more!

    This place is all about the Comics, chocolates and ice cream.Great place to find unique comic books.Make sure to indulge and enjoy some amazing chocolates.I really enjoyed my delish three scoop ice cream that was perfect on a hot day.I chose amazing flavors like almond joy, orange chocolate and monkey business, plus don't forget the creamy whipped cream.

    This business is so cool , there's something for everyone to enjoy.First up for those that enjoy comics there's a plethora to choose from.If chocolate is your thing then enjoy some delicious and creamy Chocolates. Lastly the best way to calm the heat , grab some cool ice cream.I tried the three scoop with yummy whipped cream with flavors like salted caramel, monkey business and granny apple.

    Amazing place with delicious ice cream, candy and gift items. Inside an old cider mill built in 1811 - such a treasure to enjoy. A must when you are in Buffalo!

    We ate the ice cream too fast for pictures of that! :)

    Adorable spot, fast service, excellent ice cream!! I had the creamsicle. Others in my group had Butterfinger and cookies and cream.

    Tasty ice cream and lots of options. When I visited Sweet Jenny's, I was excited to see all the options. Ordering happened at an outdoor counter and the pickup was a few paces down. They had a line, but moved quickly through it. I went for a one-scoop option of one of their chocolate specialty ice creams. The ice cream was rich and one scoop was enough. The only seating they had was outdoors on basic outdoor tables. The tables didn't have umbrella or shade, so we didn't stay for long. I'd say that this place is definitely more of a grab and go scenario, which is fine by me. I liked it!

    Chocolate Peanut butter swirl was creamy deliciousness.

Their selection is incredible and the staff is so friendly. I love the homey atmosphere and the seasonal decorations.

The specialty sundaes and desserts are top notch and creative. Take a date! They're open late! Take a box of baklava to go!

When you enter, if you take a left you end up in the Candy Shop, and if you take a right you end up at the Ice Cream Shop. We did a quick pass through of the Candy shop, they have quite the selection, and the lady who was working at the time was incredibly friendly. The candy itself seemed to be a bit on the pricy side for what it was. On to the Ice Cream shop! They had quite a decent selection of flavors, and the day happened to be buy 1 get 1 free Pie slice day, so that is what we did. We went for once slice of the Apple Pie, and one Slice of the Peanut Butter Pie, to share. While the price was good for the pies, considering one slice was free, both slices seemed stale, and the apple pie seemed well underbaked. It was very clean inside, and we had the place to ourselves. I love tipping for good service, when I paid, I tipped 20% even through the employee seemed less than thrilled we were there. Not certain what the tip was for as we ended up having to go grab our own desserts, as well as bus our own table.

    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.
