Brown sugar, cinnamon honey shaken espresso with oat milk is amazing! It's my favorite. They also have good chicken bites and spring rolls were pretty good too

I was disappointed to see that they had gotten rid of the coffee of the month that the previous owners had, as that was my go to. The entire place looked so sterile, like a corporate board had designed it. Also the employees didn't look like they were having any fun at all. None of the employees were chatting with each other or anything, so it was kinda depressing. They were nice to me though.
The coffee tasted alright.

I’ve always drove past this place and decided to finally check it out. The food and drinks are excellent and reasonably priced for a local coffee shop. Service here is outstanding. It’s especially nice that they take the time to bring you your coffee and food. The atmosphere is very welcoming with a large seating area. Only small complaint is the music. Personally, ambient elevator music is not my favorite genre in the world, but still relaxing nonetheless. Highly recommend White Buffalo Coffee to anyone in the area.

I was having a really rough morning and couldn't barely order my drink which was white buffalo frozen with no whipped cream. Lily the barista and owner Mike wished me to have a great day and bought my own drink. Little do they know this small act of kindness made a huge impact on me. Good people do exist in this world and I will never forget this. Thank you again ? ❤️

Going through ownership change. The coffee we ordered tasted right. Not too sweet. The lavender flavor shone through mixing well the cold ice. The only issue was that it was too much ice even though we requested less. The space has enough room for people to relax and study. Decor is nice but could use some upgrades to attract more customers. But right now the coffee tastes good thats an important piece.

I have visited this location a few times (even when they were a former coffee shop) when I happen to be on that side of town. Yesterday I stopped in to purchase a regular sized Salted Caramel Latte (with almond milk). This was around 3:30pm (July 21st). There was a few people ahead of me and after placing my order and watching the gals ahead of me having issues with the taste quality of their drinks, I was asked if I was waiting on a drink because they had no orders left on their screen.
I said I was and what I had ordered. They quickly went to make it, but I noticed when making it, they took liquid from their carafe labeled "COFFEE" and poured it into a little shot jug and used that as the base for the latte. When they brought the drink over, I said I noticed it and asked are the lattes not espresso based drinks (hence why I get lattes over iced coffees). I was told "it depends on the drink". The website foe the company advertises this drink as an espresso based drink.
There are several issues with this. The biggest one is taste. Next, cost. The consumer is paying for a drink that they are not getting. I understand it may be easier/faster for the barista just to quickly use pre-brewed coffee instead of pulling a shot for the drink, but that is cheating the customer out of the drink experience.... and especially when that regular sized drink, with a dairy alternative, costs nearly $7.
Maybe it was just a one off, but with as quickly and easily as they did the replacement, it suggests that may be regular practice at the location. Unfortunately, the world has gotten sloppy and more lazy as time goes on. Quality should be number one with establishments. It's not often I go out for drink like this as it is way more affordable to make at home, but when I do.... you think you are getting your little treat only to be highly disappointed. ?

Coffee was fine, but not exceptional. Wish they had roast dates on their bags of beans. Very clean establishment and staff was nice and helpful. Got two "scones" and agree with the other reviewer who wrote, "Ordered 2 scones and received 2 flat jiffy brand instant blueberry muffins. Not scones." Not sure what this was, but not anything like any scone I have ever had. Soggy, barely cooked. I took a bite and threw away the rest.
Was hoping this would be more of a "mom and pop" shop but, unfortunately, just another chain. Not horrible, just disappointing. Better choices are nearby. Right down the street is family-owned place called El Jeffe's Cafe where they have fantastic Cafe Con Leche and lattes (and authentic Cuban food). While I won't be rushing back to White Buffalo, I do wish them well!

Ordered 2 scones and received 2 flat jiffy brand instant blueberry muffins. Not scones... Terrible. Also had the audacity to ask for a tip. This place is a joke. Don't waste your time or money.
Poor customer service, employees are rude and give the wrong orders.
