Best Downtown eatery hands down. Food is made fresh and service is upbeat. Spicy Tuna melt was delicious. Absolute hidden gem of Buffalo.

Great lunch spot in downtown Buffalo. My go-to for when I forget to bring a lunch to work. They had a great beef pot pie soup as a soup of the day once & I loveddd it. Food is always delicious! Highly recommend!

Really delicious food at super reasonable prices. A legit Steak (and that’s with real chunks of steak) egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is only 10$. It’s a tiny hole in the wall place but the people are super friendly and the value is amazing.

Excellent place! My husband and I both had the shrimp jerk bowl, and the shrimp were tender and numerous, with tasty mango salsa and salad greens — healthy and light, but filling. It’s inside an office building housing the Departments of Labor and Social Services, plus legal aid organizations, so Im guessing that it caters to the nonprofit and government office crowd and people coming to meet with them. There are exactly FOUR seats, so takeout is the norm. It’s located on the first floor of Swan Tower, mostly along one side of the main corridor. For those eating gluten-free, you’ll find many options, clearly marked.

The café has a cozy, intimate vibe with just a few tables, making it perfect for a quick bite. The food and service were excellent—thank you, Sam! The seafood chowder reminded me of Rhode Island’s finest clam chowder. We also tried the Spicy Tuna Melt, which was a unique and delicious surprise.

I had a slight issue with Pete's Place food shop in the past. There was just an issue with them provided me with the wrong soups... But I decided to give them another chance. And I'm so glad I did! I ordered a barbecue chicken sandwich with salad and it was so amazing. 10 out of 10! The sandwich was out this world. And I assumed that I would be getting a run-of-the-mill chef salad but no... I received a delicious beautiful arugula salad with poppy seed dressing. Oh my goodness so delicious! I cannot wait to order it again!

Delicious 😋 Walkable from downtown Helpful and friendly staff
If you find this place, EAT HERE! Such a hidden gem of downtown Buffalo. The people are friendly, food is outstanding, and homemade sauces and beverages can’t be beat. 100% the wait even if it’s packed when you arrive!

On the outside, this is just a food counter in a hallway. Sometimes it gets crowded and stuffy. This isn't a place you go to have a quiet, sit down lunch. But, does that mean you shouldn't go here? Oh, no, go here! The staff is beyond friendly and are passionate about the food and drinks they create. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and in balance. The cold brew coffee cremes are handcrafted cups of joy. And the 5 for $5 cookies are an absolute steal. I've tried a few things off the menu and I have not been disappointed. The jasmine rice in the burritos is ::chef's kiss::.
