I’m a flight attendant and I come to Buffalo every so often. Whenever I come into town I visit this place. Excellent customer service, love the atmosphere (even though it can get busy) and the coffee is excellent and fresh! I only come for coffee so I haven’t tried the food but the food and donuts look amazing.
Great place!

Staff was wonderful and offered recommendations. They were super accommodating aswell, since I had luggage with me. Overall,...
