the outside of the store

Nice small chocolate shop, with a great assortment of chocolate choices. Came for the chocolate turtles and orange chocolate sponge Candy. Both were as good as I expected. Prices are pretty high, but real chocolate isn't cheap. You literally get what you pay for.

My heart shaped chocolate

My man and I got some chocolate from there, I love the chocolate so much! It's literally my favorite. He got a big heart shaped chocolate and also little hearts of them. It tastes so good, we always got there whenever we are craving chocolate anything

Who doesn't want to stop into a chocolate factory. I went after Easter and got a few good deals on chocolate. My cousin also gets truffles from Watsons every year for Christmas for the family. Will be going back!

Dark choc sponge candy ice cream!

Watson's is my favorite chocolate in Buffalo. I especially love the holiday offerings of small pieces of themed chocolate bits in 1 lb boxes--like it's small hearts for v-day, chickens and eggs for easter, santa and trees for xmas. The orange and dark are my faves! This location of Watson's also has ice cream! While sponge candy ice cream is not novel, they have dark chocolate sponge candy ice cream!! I have not seen the dark chocolate variety anywhere else. The young women working was super friendly and helpful! If you are on Elmwood, dark choc ice cream should be on your summer to-do list!

I had to double check the location because I don't understand the low scores at all. First of all, service was fine, great even. There was only one person working, a young woman. She was helpful and patient. The shop is beautiful. The chocolate is delicious. I almost missed the salted caramels because there's so many goodies to look at. I haven't tried the truffles yet. It was about $1 a chocolate, which is pretty much the norm from places I've been to here, and in other states. I will definitely be back.

Sometimes when I know I'm going to visit a couple of places in quick succession I'll check in on yelp, write a few notes for the review, and save it in my drafts so I don't hold up the day. I'll then come back later to finish and post the review. When I came back to write my Watsons review I only had two words saved, great service. We went to probably 8-10 shops on veterans day but Watsons stood out. I decided to grab my mother some sponge candy (her favorite) and the employee working not only was able to help me locate the item, he made sure I got exactly what I needed, gift wrapped it for free, and seemed to take a genuine interest. On top of all that, I've had Watsons chocolate before and can say for a fact that it's top notch. I would highly recommend Watsons to anyone in the area with a sweet tooth.

EXCELLENT SELECTION OF FINE QUALITY CHOCOLATES. 4th generation family members are working the store, and they are incredibly polite and knowledgeable. The store is quaint but lovely. I highly recommend Watson's Chocolates to anyone in the Buffalo area.

This is one of Watson's smaller shops I'd say and it was really charming! The gentleman at the counter was kind enough to wrap a box of candy for us as it was to be a gift. Watson definitely has some of the best chocolate in the area!

Dark Chocolate Sponge Candy Ice Cream, plus Milk Chocolate Sponge Candy Ice Cream

I treated my roommate moving out of Buffalo for good to sweets at Watson's this afternoon. The trip served two purposes: to wish her luck in New York City (WHERE EVERYTHING'S TERRIBLE) and to try sponge candy ice cream. You can have sponge candy ice cream two ways at Watson's: dark or milk chocolate. Logically, I chose a scoop of each. If you like large chunks of candy in your (absolutely not non-fat) vanilla ice cream, I recommend either flavor. There's also plenty of other ice cream flavors to choose from with creative names. Since I'm craving more of the cold stuff, I'll spend the warm months in search of the best sponge candy ice cream in the greater Buffalo area.

Sponge candy was good and got free samples which was sweeet. Old interior and peanut butter break away was kind of stale.

Milk chocolate sponge candy ice cream
Mary K.

The ice cream was fantastic. We weren't positive this small shop had ice cream, but a man hanging out in front overheard us and said yes they do have ice cream, and it is the best. The girl working at the counter was very nice and helpful, letting us try different flavors and explaining what was in each one. I settled on milk chocolate sponge candy ice cream and it was delicious. You get the best of both worlds- sponge candy and ice cream- in one. My one scoop bowl was generous, I'd recommend stopping in for some, it will not disappoint.

Chenez's Gourmet Popcorn - Inside

Chenez's Gourmet Popcorn

It's a bit pricey but you get to sample all their flavors which is a nice perk. The atmosphere…read morefeels off as it doesn't really have an aroma of popcorn - they make their popcorn in their flagship store in Lockport. I am all about supporting local but a few tweaks here and there could make this location feel more cozy. Also, I'd go with tile floors as opposed to the carpet - it doesn't feel 'clean' with the carpeting in my opinion. The person who waited on me was very friendly and accommodating, giving me a bit of history on the shop while I shopped. I think it would be great if they made some of their popcorn on site to give it more of a fresh feel. One bummer is they don't have kettle corn - the employee said it's because the process gunks up the popcorn maker. This is one of my favorites and I was hoping they'd have it. They do sell a brand of microwave kettle corn that they recommend - no thanks. I forgot to add that none of their popcorns are guaranteed gluten-free - you can read the ingredients to check but they could always have cross-contaminates - just a warning if you have Celiac Disease.

Great new spot in Kenmore Village! Enjoy tons of fun and delicious popcorn flavors (free samples!)…read moreand other great gifts, toys, and candy. Staff were helpful and quick to tell you their favorite flavors. The location is quick to get in and out for gifts or a treat for yourself. Ingredients are clearly labeled.
