“Good People-You need to check out Amy's Place. Had a little snafu with my last lentilberry sandwich. I withdraw that review. Amy's was going through some changes at that time. Amy's Place is fully redeemed. The full Lentilberry Sandwich is back and better than ever!! Lentilberries cooked perfectly. It needs no meat. Perfect meal by itself. Chocolate Crossiant was melt in your mouth delicious with a perfectly crisp outer shell. Many vegan options on the menu. Hours on a Saturday are 8am-8:30pm. Unsure of other days. Can call ahead. Number listed is 716-832-6666. The restaurant has a bohemian vibe that takes you back to better days. Staff have excellent people and listening skills. Music in a connecting space including jazz, and punk. They even have a yoga class. Back to being "All in" on this one! Good People-check them out. Enjoy!!!“

“You absolutely can't beat the prime location on bustling Elmwood Avenue—it's right in the heart of everything, making it the perfect spot for a convenient meet-up or just doing work on the computer. Stepping inside, the interior was immaculately clean, which instantly made you feel comfortable and welcomed. The service team was fantastic; they were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever rushing us. Yes, the prices are on the higher end, and it's definitely not a budget-friendly choice, but when you factor in the quality, the inviting atmosphere, and the top-notch hospitality, it was absolutely worth every single penny. We left feeling completely satisfied and would happily return for another special treat!“

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

“Dog friendly exceptionally delicious lattes of all varieties“

“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 ❤️“

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

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

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

“We love this place because the coffee is good and the staff and owners are kind and accommodating. It's a comfortable atmosphere too, full of light and things to look at. This place is a true gem on Buffalo's burgeoning Niagara Street. Adding to this review, in mid September 2026, I hosted a birthday coffee bar party. We had a blast, and Jen the owner was great to work with.“

“I was visiting Buffalo for a few days and wanted to explore some authentic Bangladeshi food. After trying several places where the food quality was disappointing, I can honestly say this place was the best!

The fuchka was absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and one of the best I have had. We also ordered beef polao by informing the owner a day in advance, and it tasted amazing. It truly felt like homemade Bangladeshi food.

The owner, whom we lovingly called “Uncle,” was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. He even offered us several complimentary items, which made our experience even more special. His hospitality made us feel like family rather than customers.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Bangladeshi food in Buffalo. Just let him know in advance what Bangladeshi dish you would like, and he may prepare it for you. Great food, wonderful hospitality, and a truly memorable experience. We will definitely visit again!“

“The best chocolate ever!“

“Good for coffee and wine !“

“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.“

“first visit. the coffee and pastry were TO DIE FOR but the service? top notch. the young lady was working alone but she was hustling. apologetic for our wait which was unnecessary but appreciated. the kids loved their cookies and cake hearts. the croissants are delectable! the lattes were honestly some of the best we've ever had (and we are coffee nuts) amazing service. we will definitely be back.“

“Coffee beans are rich in flavor and taste is so so amazing, never bought coffee anywhere else since. My favorite is German chocolate all flavors are so good. Staff and owner is always helpful and attentive to your purchase. Wish her so many more customers amazing store“

“My hubby and I loved the Easter special lattes we had yesterday at your cafe along with some sweet treats. We took home a salad, turkey sandwich and peanut butter bites and had them later. Definitely liked the vibe of the individual little shops and purchased some gifts for upcoming occasions. We love to support small businesses and will be back soon.“

“Tasty breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and pie 🥐🥧“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Had to grab another Snowy Owl Kombucha from our local Steamworks coffee shop in Lockport this morning, delicious flavors, love that I can take them anywhere now they come in cans, my digestion system needs a boost every once in awhile of probiotics and this always does the trick! 😍“

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

“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!!!“

“Our soup was delicious, along with the dessert.“

“The cupcakes are always amazing !!!“

“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“

“This was the Tim's inside Buffalo General Hospital. Quick, helpful , friendly and the best service. Tea was very hot... the way I like it. Very, very busy with hospital staff and visitors but the wait was never long and I went almost every day for 3 weeks.“

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

“It was a struggle today I went to the bank for some reason they can never process my transactions so . Should I walk to Starbucks around the corner and they were closed but still made me my chai tea latte with strawberry cold foam in the best part was I didn't have to pay for it. Because I was trying to use one of my cards but none work. So just that one little act of kindness made the rest of my day all right I was supposed to be at the library but I started to worry about money again main reason I need to get out of here and I need to go to work so I can talk to the proper people at the proper time at the proper place so thank you Starbucks people inside of the Hyatt regency motel in Buffalo 14204 I appreciate you“

“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 finally had a few minutes to stop in and get a coffee from the Main Street shop. My Americano is absolutely spot on delicious! Not to mention the most gorgeous espresso machine I've ever seen!! Can't wait to go back.“

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

“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.“

“Just went here yesterday morning; lady there who took my order was really nice! Very cooperative! I give it 4 stars because of various reasons. They did not have a kiosk option to order so therefore, I had to sit down and look on the app of what I wanted for my breakfast. I then get my order which was a bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant with extra bacon, a chocolate frosted donut, and a large iced french vanilla coffee with extra cream, and extra liquid cane sugar. My croissant kinda looked charred on the outside and I am not too sure if they even added the extra bacon. However, my food was still good and I will likely come here again!“

“I don’t typically leave reviews, this Starbucks is the only Starbucks I’ve been to that consistently has good coffee, good food, and good workers. I see them busting their butts anytime I go. They get two drive lines backed up and they clear them out the best they can. I love this location.“

“This Starbucks gets really busy, especially during school hours, but the staff always does a great job. I usually grab my coffee and study here during the quieter hours, and it’s a really nice place to sit and get some work done. Everyone working here is friendly and hardworking. Definitely one of my favorite spots on north campus!“

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

“Best Tim Hortons around, sucks to be connected to a HORRIBLE gas station with horrible workers. Everyone at this Tim hortons is VERY friendly and gives great customer service. I will only be coming here through the drive thru since the gas station is awful! Thank you tim hortons for great coffee and FRESH food.“

“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. :)“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“
