Parkside Candy



Location: Main Street and Winspear near University of Buffalo's South Campus. The outside could use some work, but the inside is nice. We were told that people come inside and take pictures all the time because it looks old fashioned. The inside is round with wood and plaster molding all over the walls and ceiling, even the glass cases had fancy wood stands. The floor is black and white, and they have long tables, small round tables, and a crescent shaped booth at the back.



Service: When you walk in there are a bunch of tables with candy on them to pick from, there are also glass cases full of chocolates, and an ice cream bar. Two helpful ladies were there to make the ice cream and sell the candy. You can also get served at the tables if you are there for lunch.





Food: They have a lot of candy and chocolates, ice cream,and a small menu of soup, sandwiches and desserts that you can order at the tables. We ordered our ice cream at the counter and it was brought to our table. We sat in the crescent booth at the back. The place mats were round doilies, that my Mom thought was a nice touch. My brothers ordered one scoop sundaes with choice of toppings, and I ordered a root beer float that came with extra root beer.




Kid Stuff: They have candy and ice cream, what kid doesn't like that!

Overall rating: I'm giving it 6 out of 5 Lego bricks because it was so awesome!
