Coming down from Western New York with some friends from Canada, and read about this place. What do the locals/regulars recommend?

Emphatically, yes. Every visitor we ever have gets a trip to Sweet Moses. We sneak in there by ourselves every now and then. We live about 3/4 mile away.

Me personally I love the old fashioned chocolate malts......seriously delicious

I live 2 blocks away from there , on a trip you won't save money going to sweet Moses , and ice cream is the same everywhere , look up a better place , trust that.
