The Scene – For generations, boys and girls of all ages have flocked to Antoinette's for unsurpassed homemade ice cream and chocolates. Nestled into the hill, the building's concrete curves, expanses of glass and pink neon soar into the future, while the rich ice cream recipes remain firmly fixed in the past. – The Food – High butterfat content and excellent flavorings, including Antoinette's own fine chocolates, make this ice cream special. Ice cream sodas come in unusual flavors like butter-rum and cinnamon-chocolate. Sundaes come in scores of combinations:…
Editor's Tips
- The Other Antoinette's:
- Twenty years ago this second location joined the original Antoinette's at 5981 Transit Road, Depew, NY 14043.
- Feel Like Hot Cocoa?:
- Try the cocoa cream sundae, with vanilla and chocolate ice cream, chocolate pudding, marshmallow sauce, whipped cream and chocolate jimmies. It tastes just like hot chocolate.
Poor quality candy

Stay away from the overpriced low quality candy. The chocolate jellies are GRITTY! And there is no flavor in the jellies or the creams, close your eyes and I dare you to tell the difference between a maple cream and a strawberry cream. Overprice and undercrafted.
A Truly Historic Sweet Shop Plus

I was a Buffalo resident for over 40years and learned about Antoinettes as a child in its original location...and NOT with chocolates but something I will NEVER forget and NEVER found anything close...their special made ice cream cakes!These are truly works of art and so unique and fabulous...the perfect cake for a special occassion..but nothing in this place is not wonderful..the sundaes with the whipped cream SO thick it's almost unreal and of course the handmade chocolates especially the sponge and my personal favorite orange milk chocolates...do NOT miss this place and do try the ice cream cakes it is like none you've ever had anywhere else.

We own a tree service in Orlando, Florida. My husband went up to New york 3 years ago to help out during there ice storm. He had met the whole family of the company. They now send us a box of chocolates every year at Christmas time. We look forward to this all year. Our four kids know the box when it comes.They say the Best chocolate in the world is here.. You have to check it out for our self it is worth it 100%. Thank you Antoinette's
They are at the top of my annual Christmas List

One of the things I miss most about Buffalo is Antoinette's but then I do get my fix ordering by phone or receive my faves for Christmas. If you are lucky to be in the area, visit either location and sit down and have a sundae or ice cream confection of your choice. Theya re all great!. Real whipped cream and their hot fudge is the real deal not the brown sweet sauce that if blindfolded, one would be hard pressed to ID what they were eating. After the sundaes, pick up a few pounds of assorted chocolates, a hunk of Charlie Chaplin and some Sponge Candy (best served chilled). There are hundereds of other treats so you'll just have to visit again and again. Enjoy!

Ice Cream Lovers - ya gotta check it out

Yummy - got a hot fudge sundae (with whipped cream, of course)! I'm from out of town and this was my second visit to Antoinette's on the Hill. I came to Buffalo several years ago and my host took me for ice cream after a Beef on Weck dinner at Schwabl's. I loved it then, and it was just as good this time. The whole dining experience - from dinner to dessert was a great taste of local Buffalo fare. I'd recommend both of these places to out of towners who are not into chain type dining. If you're full - get something and share it - they are BIG portions. Make sure you check out the candies - a little something to bring back as a treat for those at home!
