“2/9/2025
Happened to get stuck in Buffalo with a long layover for my Greyhound bus. I was hungry and decided I'll just walk up to Public Espresso since it was nearby. Ordered a Peppermint MOKA and a Build Your Own Sandwich on an asiago bagel. Probably the best peppermint mocha I ever had, and the sandwich was tasty too. Everything was fresh. Staff was wonderful and offered recommendations. They were super accommodating aswell, since I had luggage with me. Overall, I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the Buffalo area.“

“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!“

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

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day“

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

“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 for coffee and wine !“

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

“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!“

“Blue Mountain Coffees has truly changed my life with its year-round offerings of pumpkin spice coffee beans and salted caramel flavor—my absolute favorites. I discovered their iced Blood Orange Mimosa tea from the Bridgerton collection on a whim while picking up a drink to-go, and it’s now a must-try with its delightful hint of champagne. I’ve introduced family and friends to their standout selections, like White Christmas coffee beans and sweetened pistachio and lavender syrups, and they’ve been just as impressed. The knowledgeable and personable staff enhance every visit, and the store’s extensive collection of teas and accessories is a dream for any enthusiast. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to every coffee and tea lover!“

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

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

“Have not eaten at Amy's, but been to shows there and it's a great little place with a nice atmosphere. Hope they continue putting on DIY gigs for touring acts, it is much appreciated.“

“The best chocolate ever!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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. 👍🏼“

“The staff was friendly, the venue was very clean with pretty decor and the food was amazing!! This Detroit Foodie will definitely be back!😋“

“We ordered 7 breakfast platters for my daughters baby shower. There was so much food. Everything was delicious. Tim was incredible to work with. I highly recommend them for your catering needs.“

“Dog friendly exceptionally delicious lattes of all varieties“

“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. :)“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

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

“What a way to start the day a coffe a few laughs and off to work i noticed in my study that if my morning goes good my day is good so the energy of people who i interact with is essential to a positive outcome so thanks to the people serving coffee with a smile ...“

“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.“

“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.“

“great prices compared to where I'm am from! highly recommend the Pink drink“

“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 “

“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“

“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.“

“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! 😂🙂“
