50 Best Coffee Shops in Buffalo

“Came here got the iced pistachio latte this morning and it was amazing. This place is perfect and honestly one of the better coffee houses. It was really busy but the staff were working hard. There was a tall girl who was very kind and gave a good recommendation for the coffee. Would definitely come again and ask her for another recommendation!“

“Always the most amazing and fresh coffee around. The breakfast options are to die for.“

“My best friend and I had the privilege of meeting these two wonderful women in Toronto after a concert. We had no cell service to call a taxi to bring us back to our Air BNB and kept getting wrong directions from everyone. We had stopped them to ask if they knew where to pick up a taxi, and instead of giving us the run around, like everyone else, they gave us a ride to our Air Bnb an hour out of their way with no hesitation. And for that they will always have 2 new customers for life, and anytime anyone we know goes to Buffalo we will recommend they visit their establishment. We couldn’t have been more grateful for them, their character alone tells me what kind of business they run! Please everyone tell a friend to tell a friend about their business. Thank you again ladies ❤️“

“Great spot with a great selection! Luv the breakfast options and the coffee too!“

“Easy to build your own vegan sandwich, bowl or burrito with vegan options clearly marked. Made a sandwich with the tofu scramble and it was delicious! Coffee was also excellent. The atmosphere is gorgeous and cool and staff was very friendly and kind. I recommend! Updated from previous review on 2025-09-12“

“The pastries were delicious so were the lattes! This place smells like heaven when you walk in“

“The food is SO close to the flavours from home. Special shout out to the aam bhorta, fuchka and egg sandwhiches. They even carry shell and core style icecream. The owner is super friendly and custimizes your food to your taste. Staff was super friendly and you can tell by the regular visitors that he is well known in the area!“

“Good place to have afternoon or morning meeting and it’s located with in the community“

“Great customer service! Thanks for quick response to my request of coffee flavor not on website. Karen was able to complete my favorite Eggnog flavor request, as this was an out of town order. I have placed numerous orders previously with their care and attention. Thank you!“

“The best chocolate ever!“

“Love, love, love this place! Been here many times and the waffles never disappoint. My only feedback would be is that they don't have 2% milk, which is always a preferred milk at a coffee house. Awesome quaint little place tho!“

“They have lots and lots of teas!! I bought a great travel tumbler here also. The lady was nice and helpful. They also have some nice honey for $7.99/lb which wasn’t too bad. Ask for their tea pamphlet. It lists all their tea offerings and is very cute.“

“Went for a late breakfast with a friend and we were not disappointed by our meal. It was a little busy in there on the day we went, but the service was still quick and friendly. I got the number three breakfast special which came with eggs, sausage home fries, and toast. And they had the bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Really enjoyed the meal a lot and I’ve been back since to also try the patty melt, which is delicious! Dining im can be a little busy and even with call in orders sometimes it might be a wait but it’s totally worth it and looking forward to dining here again to enjoy the patio when the weather is nicer out.“

“BEST EXPRESSO IVE EVER HAD! and I have visited many coffee shops in various states.“

“First time here. Shout out to the staff. The staff was extremely Friendly. 😁 I appreciate that. The iced drink 🧋we ordered was good. I ordered a house coffee ☕️and it was cold. The bagel sandwich was not so tasty, although the bagel was fresh. The avocado toast didn’t have much flavor. :( but it was presented very nicely. Overall it was ok, a bit pricey $$ too. I would like to try it again and try something different. 👍🏼“

“Wonderful place to meet up for tea, coffee and snacks“

“Great spot with a great selection! Luv the breakfast options and the coffee too!“

“Visited here on a Wednesday afternoon. I had a large Americano.

The service was very friendly and efficient.

Nice relaxing atmosphere and very clean.

One of the better Starbucks I've visited.“

“Got a cup of house blend today and all day kept thinking about what a great cup of coffee it was. Highly recommend.“

“This is the most delicious coffee! I prefer Sultana blend. We get it at work and I buy it for home. ❤️☕️“

“I can not say enough about Fairy Cakes Cupcakery! They created the most beautiful dessert table and adorable teddy bear cookie favors for my daughter’s baby shower! They are great to work with and do everything to ensure you are 100% delighted with your treats! Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful, and how tasty, every single dessert was! Thank you so much!!“

“The best dark roast coffee! Today used my stars for Kamodo Dragon!!!“

“No drive thru at this location - connected to Delta Sonic - used the app went into the store to pick up order. It was waiting for me at the pick up location. Ends of the bacon were burned and had a charcoal taste had to snap those off. Otherwise everything else was as ordered.“

“One of the best tim Hortons locations in all of western NY. Friendly staff the store manager is one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. She runs a tight ship and all her employees are well mannered they maintain a perfect atmosphere for me as well as other customers to come in and enjoy a nice cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich from time to time“

“This Tim Hortons is hands down my favorite one! :D

The coffee is always fresh, and the bagels and breakfast sandwiches are consistently good.

The staff here are super friendly and get my order right every time. Shoutout to them!

The place is clean, cozy, and has a chill vibe, perfect for a quick stop or just to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Always a reliable go-to!“

“Dog friendly exceptionally delicious lattes of all varieties“

“I hit the drive thru while a friend was having surgery at the Millard Fillmore Surgery Center.My coffee was excellent! As is usual for ALL Tim Horton locations that I have been to - the coffee tastes perfect, is just the right temperature to drink and the service at the window outstanding.“

“Food was normal Tim Hortons fare, with almost attentive service, but the location really struck me with the width of the aisle which, even though I’m not in a wheelchair anymore, it is still something I notice. Restroom had two restrooms, each was shown on door as being three kinds which really impressed me. Family/Female/Male for both was completely outside my norm so was thrilled to share how very clean and more than big enough for a wheelchair. And enough space to access the restroom too with wider than normal aisle.“

“Update THIS LOCATION ACCEPTS DUNKIN APPS DEALS ECT ASKED TODAY 8/23/2023
APPLE FRITTERS WHERE GREAT TODAY 👍 BOSTON CREAM CHOCOLATE GLAZE WAS PERFECTION AND MY COFFEE WAS PERFECTION!
Staff always happy to help customers and and freshly made hashbrown and they always have fresh baked donuts my favorite is the Boston cream 😋 😀 always clean and delightful staff I love this place thanks to for coffeemy fav coffee shoppe“

“Went to Timmy ho's as it us called to get coffee. Let me tell you this is the best coffee on this side of the Mississippi. I would advise everyone to go here. They gave recently cut the senior and police discounts which is a bummer. It's still an awesome place. People that work here are great they work to get you what you want.“

“I love this Starbucks. I live and work downtown so I'm a regular here and Cierra and the crew - Jaylin, Sarah, Tiara, Noman, Anjaya and everyone else, they always welcome me with a big smile and hello. They tend to remember your order, or they're willing to recommend something new on the menu if they think you might like it. Since it's in a hotel, it can get busy at times but they're efficient and power through the busy times to get orders out.“

“Buffalo Starbucks is now union strong! Producing your first, heroes leading by example.“

“As somebody in the service industry, all too often customers only review places when they're mad about something. So here's my review of Starbucks on transit and Wherle: I realize Starbucks costs a decent buck compared to the other coffee places in the city, but it's worth it for the customer service alone. I have been to this Starbucks twice today and each time they were super helpful and super nice. The second time, the guy at the window took the time to explain all the different drinks he could make for kids, regardless of the fact that there was a line, and he was probably a little bit in the weeds. Not many people handle the weeds with such grace 💁🏼‍♀️ They never get short with me like other places do, and caramel macchiatos are like liquid sex (sorry, mom 😂). So this is just a bartender, giving the crew at Starbucks the credit they deserve because honestly, they kick butt and deserve all the tips. 💁🏼‍♀️ I have no idea if one of their bosses will ever read this but if they do: I hope you treat your staff awesome and with respect, because they totally deserve it. ✌️“

“I pass 3 other tim Hortons closer to my home every morning bc this one is the only one that ever gets my coffee right. Everywhere else is too lazy to brew the dark roast coffee and try to give me Decaf bc it’s in the same silver caraf coffee pot and will argue until I prove them wrong lol. This place always has it right! I’ll never go anywhere else!!“

“Support your local Union Baristas. Solidarity starts with the first sip. 💪 ❤“

“Best cafe to ever exist at the University at Buffalo This cafe is at the atrium and offers ice cream and has a fully functional Starbucks. If you live in Wilkeson, other buildings in Ellicot or even to visit the Ellicot complex in the University at Buffalo. Take a stop at this “

“Went in for my favorite chocolate Tim shake but was kind of scared to order as the staff guy was scathing at sores all over his arms. It was really disturbing to see him working with food after doing this and seeing many more reddened sores and dry skin patches all over him.“

“Never had a problem here with service or the taste! I come here a lot in the morning for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The donuts and some other foods on the menu are kinda mediocre, but other than that everything tastes great. I’m not sure why this place doesn’t have a higher rating. I think a lot of the bad reviews for this place are just written by people who have nothing better to do than pick out and critique the tiniest things to complain about.I saw one review that said, “They don’t even ask if you want a receipt!” Okay Karen, how about YOU just ask for one of it bothers you so much?Good work from the employees. :)“

“Best Tim Horton's around! The place is always clean along with their staff. The food and beverages are always right even though I order both a special way. Management and staff are super nice even at 5am. You can't ask for a better place to grab some food and coffee in the morning or anytime.“

“The girl that was working the window at closing was awesome. The automated system said the store was closed. She flagged me down as I was leaving the drive-thru and went out of her way to take care of me. I’m going to switch my primary store from transit and maple to transit and north french“
