BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A sweet new addition in Buffalo's Five Points Neighborhood is now open to the public.
Rosie's Handcrafted Ice Cream has opened a new location on W. Utica Street and is already adding to the momentum of the growing West Side business district.
The new ice cream shop is a passion project for co-owners Cassandra and Deacon Tasker.
"We kind of saw it as a bit of an ice cream desert up here," Deacon Tasker told me. "We knew this neighborhood would love a craft product. The whole city would."
"We've always loved ice cream," added Cassandra Tasker. "We ended up researching it. It started as a passion and we decided to take it a bit further."
