This is one of my favorite cafes in Buffalo! I love that all of their latte syrups are homemade and they change them seasonally. Staff are very friendly.

I got served burnt toast. Others get the toast perfect but not everyone does. It's the double standards that are making me give a bad review
. Disappointed hopefully they do better in the future.

This has to be the most disappointing takeout I ever had. Hash browns were unseasoned. French Toast flavorless and had to drench in syrup. Portions small. The burrito i took two bites out of and then tossed it (its honestly just guac and eggs; not good ). I shouldn’t have relied on the reviews. $50.86 with tip for this isn’t right.

Stopped in with my daughter and this place instantly became a favorite. The food is done right... no shortcuts, no gimmicks. I had the classic breakfast and a cappuccino, and it was honestly the best I’ve had in a long time. Eggs cooked perfectly, bacon with actual flavor, and hash browns that were crispy instead of greasy.
My daughter got the breakfast burrito and an iced chai. She loved it, and she’s picky.. so that says enough. Portions were solid, flavors were on point, and everything tasted fresh. The café itself has a relaxed vibe, clean setup, and you can tell the people here actually care about what they’re serving. It’s the kind of spot you walk into once and immediately know you’ll be back.
Highly recommend. This is one of those Buffalo gems you don’t want to sleep on.

This is a swanky cafe in tune with the vibe of downtown Buffalo and looks like it will be around for some time. About the food , I chose the Avocado 🥑 toast and a side of bacon. There was a very nice selection of hot teas- green and herbal. My breakfast cost approximately $21.00, which is a fair price. The food was good and the portion was satisfying. My Sister had the classic breakfast and she indicated that it was good however, the grits were not to her liking. The atmosphere was millennial mostly and some families who ventured out for a Saturday morning. The location is a good spot for meeting and for a good bite on the weekend I would eat here again. During the week you will have to contend with the dreadful parking restrictions. There is a tiny kids corner with toys for a child to play if the little one should venture out. This location also serves alcohol, I believe I saw a beer on the menu, but double check to be certain.

Cute spot for brunch/lunch. The food was really tasty and the counter service was nice and easy. Iced coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice were a highlight.

Their Google and Instagram listed hours of operation until 2pm today (Monday). I showed up at 1pm, parked, paid for parking, walked over - closed. No sign on the door saying they closed early or on vacation, not sure if this is normal for them, it was my first time trying. Verify with the cafe before you show up I guess.
Edit: I was going to try them again, but something about the owners' reply on here feels off. I actually did go on their social media (IG) the day I showed up, before and after I arrived, they had no stories or posts up that day to notify of closing. And I never said their staff didnt deserve time off, I simply said they were closed early with no signage. Either way, afterward, I read some of their lower reviews, and the owner comes off spicy in all of their replies. It also looks like other people have previously commented on unreliable hours of operation and rude customer service. The business must be doing really well. Customer service is clearly not a necessity for them.
Cute place, comfy, great food. But the music was waaay too loud. The cashier was rocking out. Couldn't hear what my husband was saying who was sitting right next to me. Loud music caused patrons to speak extra loudly creating more noise. Waitstaff had to shout order numbers above the din.

Second time coming to downtown buffalo and I think found my breakfast spot at Jack's Corner Cafe. Atmosphere is well decorated makes you feel like home. Music added to the vibe. I was visiting from NYC and wanted a solid bacon egg and cheese on a hero. They told me they have it on a costanza roll. I immediately thought of George Costanza and said I'll have three. This BEC is a must have if you downtown buffalo. Look at the cheese pull! One thing i wish they had were bottled orange juice like Tropicana.
