Parkside Candy

Buffalo


You won't regret making a pilgrimage to this historic sweet shop, with original retro decor as beautiful as the confections it purveys. There's also a cafe serving ice-cream, sandwiches and soup.

Pick up a bag of sponge candy (aka chocolate-covered honeycomb toffee), a Buffalo favorite.
