It's pricier than your standard off the shelf candy, but come on - You are not buying Hershey's off the shelf here. This is my new go to place for special occasions and Easter. Friendly staff and if they don't have it ask, because they can more than likely make it for you!
delicious homemade ice cream and chocolate. Lots of choices as to candy and chocolate. In season peach sundaes were made with fresh peaches and a lovely vanilla custard
I purchased a chocolate cowboy boot filled with nuts, a chocolate fish and a chocolate bear from Oliver's for Easter this year. Very good chocolate and fun with all the different shapes available in the store.
When visiting Batavia recently, I was taken to Oliver's Candies. WOW! I've never ever seen so many and varied chocolate figures. And in milk, dark and white chocolate. And solid figures and hollow figures. Little ones and HUGE ones. And gift baskets.So many products and lovely staff to help you find what you need. So worth a visit!
We have been traveling through Batavia to visit family for years. Oliver's has been a frequent stop. This time we came to Batavia to pick up extra wedding gown fabric (who knows where wedding prep will take you!) so we had plenty of time to spend in this pleasant city. Oliver's is a clean, bright candy store with a nice little ice cream shop in the back (only 2 tables). The candy is fresh and delicious. This time we got marzipan, cream mints, and gold coins (from the leprechaun!). The marzipan was gone before we reached Buffalo.During the winter season the ice cream shop sports 8 flavors. There will be 8 more, plus soft serve, come warmer weather. The ice cream is made for Oliver's.There is ample parking and clean, attractive rest rooms.
Oliver's has been a standard in this area..outstanding products. The prices are a little higher, but you get what you pay for. Chocolate is so good, and hundreds of varieties of molds at Easter. Very nice ice cream shop on the side of the building, as good as their candy. The owners have been major supporters of career education in the area by participating in our local Business Education Assn. I am not related to them nor friends, but I did work as a teacher and was given great support by the owner for job shadows, tours, etc.
If you like chocolate that is really good, Oliver's is a must stop. I routinely purchase their products for family and business gifts, and everyone always asks for more.
Although we have our own very good local chocolatier (Malley’s), while traveling to Batavia a few days prior to Valentine’s Day I decided to give Oliver’s a try for a change. I found that Oliver’s has a large selection of different varieties so one can find just the right combination but prices were generally a couple of dollars higher than our local chocolatier. Service was wonderful with the workers helping me to navigate the large selection to quickly find just what I wanted. They also wrapped, at no additional cost, any unwrapped selections and they will arrange shipment at checkout if desired. I purchased a box each of chocolate covered nuts for my wife and a box of chocolate soft centers for my daughter, each their favorite type; and they were both delighted with their chocolates. Trying both, I personally preferred the local chocolate covered nut clusters over Oliver’s as the local variety has a greater portion of chocolate in the cluster versus the one large chocolate covered nut of Oliver’s. On the other hand, I preferred Oliver’s soft centers over the local chocolatier’s.
I have bought their Sponge Candy for years. There is no way to describe how good it is!! I especially like the dark chocolate ones, but they also have milk chocolate. You need to try this. They also have a large variety of other candies and ice cream. Easy to find.
Oliver's has been a family favorite of ours for more than three decades. Each year we stop in Batavia on the way to grandma's home in Buffalo and stock up on Molly-Pops and other chocolate goodness.Staff is always friendly and the chocolate is always fresh!
