Fowler’s Chocolate

We read the Unilocal review of this place so decided to try it out over Watsons just a couple doors down. We walked in, the clerk stared at us, didn’t say anything and we walked to the counter. I felt like they wanted us out of there and that we were somehow a burden to their evening. The chocolate was just ok. Not many options and prices were extremely high. $ 6 for 6 small pieces of chocolate about ¼ the size of an ice-​cube and a generic thin MP3 player mold (for my little girl). I wouldn’t stop back in.

Lovely place. Stopped by today and walked out with everything I need for Easter!!! The young lady at the counter was wonderful. The sponge candy is delicious. This was my first time here and loved it!

Great candy! I try to visit whenever I am in Buffalo. Definitely some of and if not the best sponge candy in Western New York! Actually I think they have chocolate that rivals some of the finest candy stores in the United States. Also the staff is very helpful and friendly!

I recently ordered sponge candy online to be delivered to my sister in Manhattan. They said my order was delivered, but the package never arrived. I called the customer service line, and found out that the post office lost my package. This was not the fault of Fowler’s, but their representative, John Furlage, was still super helpful and offered to overnight another box to reach my sister in time for her birthday. Great customer service experience!!!

Fowler’s makes the best sponge candy on Earth!

Don’t love the chocolate but have become a regular since they started serving Sweet Jenny’s Gelato!!! My favorite and by far the best in Buffalo.

I’m so glad you were open late tonight! I have an early flight and needed a gift. The blonde woman working could NOT have been nicer.

Mmm, ice cream cone in the summer. Really, that’s all we need.
I appreciate that Fowler’s has the ‘normal’ stock of ice cream flavors. They’re pretty good, too, though they are in a freezer behind the counter rather than visible to the customer. Oh well, logistics probably dictate otherwise. They do have a wide selection of cones to choose from, which will spice up your experience.
Chocolates here are good, though tend to be on the sweet side of things. Still, this is a great place to get a box of chocolates for yourself or as a present. Especially if you’re looking to give someone a Buffalo type thing.

Omg, get Perry’s frozen custard. My fiancé and I were talking about it 30 minutes after we were done eating it…

Part of our recent trip to Buffalo included a mission to compare all the wonderful chocolate shops that dot the area. We had five on our list, and wound up getting to four of them (Mike’s was the one we had to cut, so something to look forward to).
The four we hit up were Parkside, Fowler’s, Watson’s, and Condrell’s.
So the ground rules for the judging were that we’d stick with the chocolates, get a few common specialties at each (chocolate-​covered sponge candy, meltaways, and some sugar-​free selections), along with anything that we felt like having and any shop-​specific items that jumped out at us. What we discovered, after bringing home way, way too much chocolate, was a) too much chocolate is not good for you, and b) the results:
Fowler’s was good, but like Watson’s, the selection seemed a bit smaller than the other places. Nothing standout, but appreciated that they had some unique seasonally-​themed items, along with a pretty cool and very friendly person on staff to help us out in our selections.
I’d recommend going at least once, since Watson’s is literally a couple of doors down.

The bite size dark chocolate sponge candy box was THE perfect office souvenir. You should have seen the ladies at the office descend onto that box of chocolate! Of course I was wise enough to stash a box or two for myself. The boyfriend is partial to the raspberry chocolates. He goes back to Buffalo in a few weeks and his homework is to get more boxes of dark chocolate sponge candy!

Adorable little shop and the staff are as sweet as the treats they sell. You must try the snowballs and sponge candy.
