They are at the top of my annual Christmas List

by TCzarnota

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!

• Pros: Everything

Ice Cream Lovers - ya gotta check it out

by devogrrrrl

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!

This local institution combines extraordinary ice cream and famous homemade chocolates in a one-of-a-kind setting.

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: Toppings like fresh fruit, rich chocolate and butterscotch sauce are crowned with the heaviest whipped cream imaginable. Try the nutty butterscotch sundae, with vanilla ice cream, butterscotch sauce, whipped cream and chopped walnuts. Of course, plain ice creams like coconut and Greek mint are also available.

Antoinette's has the best homemade icecream and the only place that I know who makes their own whipped cream too. They have every possible sundae you can ever want and if they don't you can just ask for what every your tastebuds desire. The sudaes are good but careful if you get a messy one although those are the best. Milkshakes and cones are available too.

the best ice cream ever and the home made fudge is indescribeable, but nothing is better than the REAL whipped cream that they use.

What a treat - the homemade whipped cream is a dessert by itself! The frappes are huge; the service is friendly and the taste....out of this world! Definitely a worth a trip!
