50 Best Coffee Shops in Buffalo

“First time here. Great food! It was hot, delicious, and hallal. The staff is awesome. Please come and enjoy the food. Raydan was our server, he is polite and knowledgeable. Had a great time. Definitely will be back .“

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

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

“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 ❤️“

“Maple Latte with cinnamon is literally the best coffee I’ve ever had!! Love this place ☕️“

“I drove all the way from Ontario after hearing great things about their tea — and it was absolutely worth it. The tea was excellent, the service was genuinely amazing, and the place itself has such a warm, welcoming vibe.

What really stood out is how family-friendly it is: they have board games for families, which makes it a great spot to relax and spend time together. There’s also a prayer room available, which I really appreciated.

Washrooms are clean, parking is available but limited, so keep that in mind. Overall, a fantastic experience and I’d definitely come back again.“

“This morning i had a lovely cup of coffee and a fantastic breakfast sandwich. I also took a dozen krullers to go for my friends at work. Everyone wanted to know where they were from. I know why. I cant tell you of a better doughnut that i have ever had, and i have the waist to back that up. If u r in Buffalo, stay downtown snd eat at Public Espresso.“

“First timer at the one near Larkin. Everything was delicious and service was great. Will definitely be back!!! 😊♥️“

“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.“

“Wow, Very impressed with the food and service. First time there and it won't be the last...“

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

“Maple Latte with cinnamon is literally the best coffee I’ve ever had!! Love this place ☕️“

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

“Good for coffee and wine !“

“I love this bakery!! Beautiful grains and delicious baked goods! Intimate atmosphere with delicious coffee drinks. The employees are helpful and keep the establishment very clean. Definitely stop in and grab a crispy cookie or flakey croissant with your morning cup. You won’t be disappointed!“

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

“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 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!“

“The best chocolate ever!“

“We were there late morning on a Tuesday. The waitress Sharon was very friendly. We started with the coffee. It was very good and I don’t normally drink coffee. It was a cold day in December though. Needed something to warm me up. I got their 10yr anniversary skillet. Highly recommend it. It has scrambled eggs, spicy Italian sausage, potatoes, green peppers and mozzarella cheese melted over the top. DELICIOUS! My wife had the #3 which is scrambled eggs, home fries and choice of meat (she chose turkey sausage) with Texas toast. She said it hit the spot. Definitely going back again.“

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

“Rise has great coffee and a staff that is extremely friendly. A wonderful environment!“

“Absolutely love it there! The only tim hortons i go to! Ive been working in buffalo general hospital 4 ywars now & i will say the girls & the few guys in there get me together perfectly every morning. It’s a pleasure to go there in the morning before i start my shift. Keep up the good work ladies! Your favorite sweet tea 8 extra sugar girl 🥰😭😭“

“Dog friendly exceptionally delicious lattes of all varieties“

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

“This place is such a gem! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful — extremely spacious, eclectic, and full of personality in every corner. (Literally there's a little something for EVERYONE!) It's a cafe, so the coffee end of things is undoubtedly their strong suit but they also have a cooler with canned beverages to suit anyone, from bottled water and iced teas to canned wine & beer to NA options! It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to stay a little longer, whether you’re grabbing a coffee, catching some live entertainment, or just soaking in the vibe. Even though they’re brand new, the team operates like they’ve been doing this for years — friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell a lot of thought and love went into creating this space. Definitely a must-visit spot.“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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. 👍🏼“

“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“

“I came one night with a mobile order and they just closed the grill for the night. And I wanted a grilled steak panini but I had to get it the next day . They didn’t think I was trying to scam them or anything and the food was really good and everyone was super nice“

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

“Best coffeeshop on Hertel I’ve tried and the employees aren’t snobs when you ask to customize your order. Fresh baked bagels in-house and various cream cheese flavors. They also cater to vegetarians if you need those options. Overall glad I stopped and checked this place out. Will come visit again and highly recommend!!!“

“I have come to this location multiple times and it has been a great experience each time. Great people and drinks made well 😎

Yesterday, Emily & Allie were working. They were incredibly welcoming and pleasant. I wanted to retry a drink I recently had customized, but one of the syrups was seasonal and no longer available. They provided a great suggestion and my drink was really good! They were both super accommodating and what one wants when they encounter customer service. I really appreciated the experience. Thus, here I am writing the review lol.“

“Amazing coffee! Great and friendly staff. I like the regular iced vanilla latte with coconut milk. Why get watered down Starby’s when you can have real coffee. This place reminds me of Miami coffee straight punch the chest in a good way. Highly recommend this place as a coffee snob!!“

“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. :)“

“Even though I had to pay for parking across the street, it was worth it. Good food. Very nice workers. Even liked one of the friendly workers who was in a singing mood! 😂🙂“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Stopped by yesterday to grab two Boxes O' Joe. It was spur of the moment so I didn't have time to order ahead. I was greeted by Eris who was so nice and helpful. He was in the middle of cleaning up for the day but immediately stopped to assist me. He pleasantly took my order, quickly brewed a few pots of coffee and packed up the other parts of the order with a smile in his face. Thank you, Eris, for a very pleasant customer experience!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Ordered their coffee after being disappointed by my previous favorite roaster changing their blends and prices. Overall very pleased with Olmsted’s product, fantastic roast, quality, and their customer service was top-notch. Was talking with their new owner and found that they have delivery at $20 which is incredible, can’t wait to try that out! Thanks John!“

“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 “

“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.“
