This morning i had a lovely cup of coffee and a fantastic breakfast sandwich. I also took a dozen krullers to go for my friends at work. Everyone wanted to know where they were from. I know why. I cant tell you of a better doughnut that i have ever had, and i have the waist to back that up. If u r in Buffalo, stay downtown snd eat at Public Espresso.

We were travelling to Niagara (Not from local NY) and wanted to have a great coffee on the way, so did some research on good coffee shops and took a detour to check out this place and eventually when we ordered two lattes they both were so tasteless and foamy (already cold within seconds) and took 20-25min for just two lattes and that to we asked for “in Cups for here” but they gave us in the normal “to go cups”.
Very disappointed and it’s not cheap...

Easy to build your own vegan sandwich, bowl or burrito with vegan options clearly marked. Made a sandwich with the tofu scramble and it was delicious! Coffee was also excellent. The atmosphere is gorgeous and cool and staff was very friendly and kind. I recommend!
