This is the spot to go. We came in for a quick stop to grab some ice cream on the way home. We also had to pick up some candy too because I mean, we were here, might as well! This place always feels like walking into Wonka's factory. There are so many different kinds of chocolate and candy that there is something for everyone on that front. Then the ice cream parlor is pure nostalgia and there are so many flavors offered. I got a milkshake and it was made perfectly, topped with whipped cream and a chocolate wafer. The staff here is always friendly and helpful. The vibes are so happy in here. I suggest this spot to everyone looking for some sweets.

I had a feeling this would be my kind of place when I saw the name, and I was right. The chocolate…read moreis hand crafted and amazing. They hold themselves to such high standards, they were giving salted caramel away that weren't pretty off. I thought they looked fine and tasted even better. And then there's the wildflower collection. The violet and clover honey were my favorites, but the lavender, dandelion wine, and rise were great, too. And so pretty. The shop is bright and welcoming. Service is excellent. You can even make your own selection for gift boxes in different sizes. For now on, this is a must visit when I'm in town. They also serve their own small batch ice cream next door.

Surprise ice cream is the best ice cream. I had an ice cream craving the last time I was in…read moreRochester visiting my mom. She said "we have ice cream at home" and we did. A perfectly normal cardboard carton of vanilla ice cream from Wegmans. I said "no, let's get real ice cream", typed "ice cream" into google maps, and was led here. Hedonist ice cream, my friends, is not Wegmans. And I'm not knocking Wegmans - it's perfectly normal ice cream with a ton of ingredients I can't pronounce for purposes of preservation. Hedonist ice cream is so much more than a cardboard carton of ice cream. They have a rotating menu of flavors, all made fresh and in-house with no preservatives. I have never met a cookies n cream ice cream I didn't love, so I went with that. Mom had a salted caramel ice cream that was fabulous. I paid for both of us since the ice cream was my idea. She was shocked at the 12 dollar total for both of us. "That's three things of ice cream at Wegmans!" But at Hedonist, it's absolutely quality over quantity. Even my mom admitted it tasted better. She wouldn't go back there, and I may not because I live 400 miles away from there, but if I was in town again and I was screaming for ice cream, I'd happily make my way over there again.
