We offer Loganberry Juice & a frozen option using the concentrated syrup, it is so good, When people see our customers with that dark purple frozen drink, they have to have it.

I will definitely return frequently to buy chocolates or a dessert treat!!”
“Landies candies are wonderful and the owners are some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with! I needed to order something special for my vet. My vet had been there countless times for me with all the medical troubles my dog had; so I wanted something to show my appreciation. Landies was just perfect. Thank you for your kindness and compassion when ordering. Their candy isn’t just sweet but so are they!”

1 Walden Galleria, Buffalo“Buffalo is blessed with fantastic chocolatiers. Each one can put his own spin on their candy. When you walk into a chocolate shop it is a religious experience. You aren't there to buy a box of chocolate and rush out the door to Wegmans. You are there to celebrate the masters of their craft. So Mr. Cork sniffer, is Parkside the best? It might be. Watson's is also my favorite. I'll just stick to talking about sponge. Parkside has the thinner sponge pieces. I might favor that format. But they both are kings. You can love two things the best, right? You have to be aware that sponge is delicate. So is the chocolate too. Maybe you kept it too long. Maybe, god forbid, there is a bad piece. Like mold on cheese, sediment in the wine, and grizzle in the steak - sometimes it has flaws. But Buffalo sponge is a treasure. Thank your lucky stars the place exists. Now go buy some!”
“LOVE this place!! They have my favorite Canadian candy bars, as well as favorites from my youth. I also found some I haven’t had before that are now favorites. If there’s a candy you haven’t been able to find, I’d bet you’d find it here!”
