50 Best Coffee Shops near East Amherst

“best coffee, donuts, bagels“

“I made a mistake when ordering, somewhat my fault but they have two different menu items with nearly identical names . I went back and explained and the gave me the other item for free. Service was fast, friendly, efficient. It’s obvious these employees care about doing their job properly and trying to keep the customers happy. They all deserve a raise.“

“Great cozy place friendly clean service 🌞“

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

“Been a regular since day 1 at the original location. Great food, great people and great location. Was in there this weekend and they were busy and the staff crushes it so it doesn’t even feel busy. Well done!“

“Beautiful shop and delicious food and coffee! My favorite is the ceasar salad 🥗 and any of the lattes!“

“Great experience! Flavors are perfect! Definitely recommend!“

“This has been a unique and truly great coffee shop for at least the last twenty years, not least because the delightful manager Michelle is excellent at her job. For coffee lovers and those who enjoy a wonderful, esoteric setting, this place truly is worth a significant detour to visit.“

“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!“

“My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our first visit there today. They have some excellent wines and craft beers, and our charcuterie plate was perfect. Prices are very reasonable and the service (Devin) was top notch. There were a lot of nice people there enjoying the books and one another's company. Highly recommend!“

“I stopped on a whim as I'm not normally in that area. Staff was pleasant. Prices were fantastic. The coffee, omg, so smooth. While waiting I grabbed some Kcups for home. The coffee is so smooth and delightful. I haven't had a bad cup yet. Looks like I'll be making the drive more often.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“I love Cup of Communitea. Love the environment.Justine is super sweet, kind and very informative about all the teas. I stopped in today and purchased a blueberry violet lemonade. It was the best! My boys loved it too! ❤️“

“best coffee, tea and sandwiches. love it..great staff, wonderful ambiance, very clean.bathrooms...easy parking“

“I used to love their Spicy Tuna Wrap. It changed this past year. They used to put a lot more tuna but now it is almost veggie sandwich with a cheese. I tried a couple times thinking maybe the person who prepared couldn’t make good but no! They changed it and today was my last visit to spot coffee!“

“I stopped on a whim as I'm not normally in that area. Staff was pleasant. Prices were fantastic. The coffee, omg, so smooth. While waiting I grabbed some Kcups for home. The coffee is so smooth and delightful. I haven't had a bad cup yet. Looks like I'll be making the drive more often.“

“Best bubble tea in the city, no questions. Milk tea, or dairy free fruit tees. Like tapioca? Or bursting bubbles? Iced, hot, mix flavors, always on point. Refreshing teas, and fresh made nice and soft tapioca balls. Only 4 stars cuz they dont have spring rolls anymore! Sad. Still worth it though, just dont come hungry lol“

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

“Honestly, I loved the colors and the design on their menu.

The staff was friendly and accommodating even though it was the evening, close to their closing time.

Their strawberry cheesecake was very creamy, with A LOT of strawberries to top it, which was very fun. In a way, it was enough strawberries for every bite. It also wasn't overly sugary, which I liked a lot.“

“Fast take out service and friendly employees. Excellent Fish Fry, Fries, side of Pasta, and other co-side items plus the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Shrimp was excellent and two meals for meal which includes 2 pieces of bread and butter. Will come back again and recommended!“

“Great avocado Delicious avocado toast, teas and macaroons. Hope they can offer more plant based meals, but their beverage options are great. Great ambiance and service.“

“Healthy & Delicious shakes, teas, and tasty treats too!“

“PHENOMENAL Fish Fry must try ..your taste buds will thank you...1st time ordering the fish fry ..the salads were great big portions size...very tasty.. just wish the potatos were cooked a little longer for them to be a little softer ..Highly recommend..The BEST fish fry around.“

“First time. Take the traffic out of the equation the drinks are tasty and there are 20,000 possible drink combinations. I’ve now been twice. Wait time is about 15-30 mins depending what time you go. The staff does a great job getting cars in and cars out. I do enjoy the cookie butter blondie with caramel drizzle. Staff has been courteous patient pleasant. Thank you.“

“I know that there’s a lot of places in Lancaster to choose for your morning breakfast, but can I suggest Pallet Cafe?! I have been to every small café in the area and this place blew me away! I got the Teddy Graham iced coffee, and the Caprese avocado toast. Absolutely incredible. The coffee actually tasted like the description and the Caprese avocado toast was delicious and so flavorful! This has by far been my favorite (& cheapest) breakfast spot! It’s also so cozy in there and reminds me of going to eat at my Mimi’s house. I don’t know the owners, they didn’t tell me to post this. I just want them to get the recognition that they deserve. 🫶🏻“

“love there hot chocolate“

“Went there today, only got half cup of what I ordered. SMH“

“Convenient place to stop for a coffee and breakfast sandwich. They also serve hot and cold lattes, hot tea and delicious cold brew coffee. Depending on the time of day, there can be a long line at the drive thru. However, service is always good and they treat their customers well.“

“The 2 men working the drive thru window today (4/27/24 at 11:50am) were extremely kind. There were ducks next to the window that my daughter in the car was waving to, the gentleman working noticed and he came to the window with safe snacks to feed the ducks that my daughter would be able to give them. Now for a 7 year old… that brightened her whole day! They were fast, food was excellent, and the customer service was a 10/10! This location is the best!!“

“I would drive a hundred miles for her.“

“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. :)“

“an absolute Michelin star chef employee who took her job just seriously enough was working yesterday, the hottest day of the year so far, to blow our minds with not only how polite and kind she was, but also how well she did preparing our food . give her a raise !“

“It's really nice to see the same friendly faces every morning when picking up my coffee. This morning I had to go into work a bit later than normal and Joelle at the drive thru greeted me with an "I was worried, you're later than usual". This to me says that they truly care about their customers. I don't know of any other coffee shop that employs such friendly, caring people around here. I've been to other Tim Hortons locations but this one, by far, is my favorite.“

“Good coffee but they need better deals. McDonalds across the street does 1.79 Large Ice Coffee. Capitalism means competing not living in price denial and charging $3 for the same product. You'd think Tim Hortons would be more aware that they are losing a price war and profit as coffee costs 50 cents a cup with labor included.“

“I hit the drive thru while a friend was having surgery at the Millard Fillmore Surgery Center.My coffee was excellent! As is usual for ALL Tim Horton locations that I have been to - the coffee tastes perfect, is just the right temperature to drink and the service at the window outstanding.“

“great prices compared to where I'm am from! highly recommend the Pink drink“

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

“Thank you to the kind person/employee that turned in my purse to the office. It’s great to know there are still kind and honest people in this world! It made my error in judgement a bit more bearable. Much appreciated! 😊“

“I constantly earn free drinks. I love this place.“

“Great coffee and service come every day and always leave happy 😊“

“I had such a great experience at Starbucks, and I really wanted to highlight how amazing Julien is! I always go through the drive-thru, and every time Julien is there, he is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Even through a quick interaction, he goes above and beyond to make sure my order is perfect and that I leave with a smile.

It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about customer experience the way he does. His positive attitude and professionalism truly stand out and make a big difference in my day. The service is always quick and smooth, but Julien is definitely what makes this location special.

I’ll absolutely keep coming back—service like that doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you, Julien, for being awesome!“

“This particular Tims on Union road in cheektowaga near Walden Ave has an amazing team I've come too know going through multiple times a day first with my Pittie Emma after the loss of her continuing to come through now with my new pittie mix 🐻 bear.. Super friendly and outgoing even on bad days or busy ones .. I run my own business and have managed many big places , just know you have good people here , earning an honest living with great attitudes with clientele. This is my favorite Tims too frequent.“

“Simply Awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☕️Taste like some more“

“As somebody in the service industry, all too often customers only review places when they're mad about something. So here's my review of Starbucks on transit and Wherle: I realize Starbucks costs a decent buck compared to the other coffee places in the city, but it's worth it for the customer service alone. I have been to this Starbucks twice today and each time they were super helpful and super nice. The second time, the guy at the window took the time to explain all the different drinks he could make for kids, regardless of the fact that there was a line, and he was probably a little bit in the weeds. Not many people handle the weeds with such grace 💁🏼‍♀️ They never get short with me like other places do, and caramel macchiatos are like liquid sex (sorry, mom 😂). So this is just a bartender, giving the crew at Starbucks the credit they deserve because honestly, they kick butt and deserve all the tips. 💁🏼‍♀️ I have no idea if one of their bosses will ever read this but if they do: I hope you treat your staff awesome and with respect, because they totally deserve it. ✌️“

“great bunch of people hard working always have customers first“

“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“
