50 Best Cafes near Tonawanda

“Great food and service definitely will go back . High recommend this little lunch stop“

“My lunch mates had no complaints about their food from any of their visits. They recommended pizza and paninis. I tried the Quatrro Formaggio Pizza, aka four cheese in English. It's was delicious. Their pizzas are all thin crust, so you'll either love that or not - dealer's choice. The offer half salads if you want to feel healthy while eating something else, or you can't make up your mind! The half salads are still big. Depending on how hungry you are, that could be your meal. The bread you get when you're first seated was good, too. They serve it with butter and ground green olives. That was new for me. They also have a dessert menu of various coffees and confections. They're in a case, so if you want to just sneak in for dessert as take away, you can. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating.“

“We had an amazing visit today on our way through. The cafe was adorable, the baked goods some of the best we have ever had, the owners were super sweet and our daughter absolutely loved the homemade watermelon lemonade. There were also coloring books and everything was super clean and cozy! 10/10 recommend!“

“I love this Panera! It's one of my go-to spots when I want something quick but still fresh and satisfying.

I love the variety on the menu—especially the soups and salads. The sandwiches are always tasty and made with quality ingredients.

The atmosphere is cozy, great for working or catching up with a friend.

The area is very nice & the outdoor seats are good!

Enjoy your meal! ;)“

“The best deli in western ny you must try it“

“Delicious blueberry milk tea and macarons. Very fast and friendly service!“

“I love this bakery!! Beautiful grains and delicious baked goods! Intimate atmosphere with delicious coffee drinks. The employees are helpful and keep the establishment very clean. Definitely stop in and grab a crispy cookie or flakey croissant with your morning cup. You won’t be disappointed!“

“It so fun doing Rocky Horror at the Screening Room! Plus all the other different events the venue hosts makes it a go to destination!“

“We were there late morning on a Tuesday. The waitress Sharon was very friendly. We started with the coffee. It was very good and I don’t normally drink coffee. It was a cold day in December though. Needed something to warm me up. I got their 10yr anniversary skillet. Highly recommend it. It has scrambled eggs, spicy Italian sausage, potatoes, green peppers and mozzarella cheese melted over the top. DELICIOUS! My wife had the #3 which is scrambled eggs, home fries and choice of meat (she chose turkey sausage) with Texas toast. She said it hit the spot. Definitely going back again.“

“Dog friendly exceptionally delicious lattes of all varieties“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing selection of freshly butchered product. This is how a butcher shop is supposed to be! Thank you for the amazing service and product 🙏🏼“

“Best place for food and great service“

“Went to lunchbox for a coffee and treat. And girlllll, I was not disappointed! I got the Decaf Americano, my usual fav, and today they had the chocolate peanut butter cake….WHATTTTT, made my whole day!!! It is amazing! All of their baked goods are fab, and they have a great variety of breakfast and lunch options.“

“Great place for lunch, Try the Malibu Barbie.... 😎❤️“

“Love, love, love this place! Been here many times and the waffles never disappoint. My only feedback would be is that they don't have 2% milk, which is always a preferred milk at a coffee house. Awesome quaint little place tho!“

“Everybody in Buffalo has their own favorite coffee shop, but this one is mine. The coffee is of excellent quality, the drinks are flavorful without being excessively syrupy, and the food is always excellent. I'm particularly fond of the red-eye breakfast sandwich, which has espresso-deglazed ham and this delightfully sweet and spicy horseradish mustard. Their donuts are second only to Paula's, especially the crullers.

The atmosphere inside at the Elmwood location is also incredibly cozy: lots of nice comfy armchairs and pillows along the bench seating. It's also quite bright thanks to the bay windows, which makes it a lovely place to sit a while and read.

Overall, my favorite coffee spot in Buffalo (of which there are many great options to choose from) and a great experience every time I go.“

“Got a cup of house blend today and all day kept thinking about what a great cup of coffee it was. Highly recommend.“

“Wonderful place to meet up for tea, coffee and snacks“

“First time here. Shout out to the staff. The staff was extremely Friendly. 😁 I appreciate that. The iced drink 🧋we ordered was good. I ordered a house coffee ☕️and it was cold. The bagel sandwich was not so tasty, although the bagel was fresh. The avocado toast didn’t have much flavor. :( but it was presented very nicely. Overall it was ok, a bit pricey $$ too. I would like to try it again and try something different. 👍🏼“

“My niece told me I had to check the place out. She knows her Aunt welbeze! 😆 Seriously, the vibe is so positive it's actually soothing. The acai bowl is as good as the bowls I've had in Cali. The Chai Lattes were as yummy as the omelette. The bathrooms were clean. I'd recommend checking on the tp throughout the day. I went back to work and raved about the place...eats, drinks & staff were awesome! I'll be back!“

“Great spot with a great selection! Luv the breakfast options and the coffee too!“

“I love this place so much, the first time I step in Here I felt welcomed. Cathy the owner made me feel like home ? everyone I met the 2 times I Been here became like my long time friends. Great conversations and the energy was amazing. I will visit you now often Cathy thank you for having us and welcome us with a big smile and warm hugs.“

“I have been ordering E-Cafe for years. The food is always consistent and delicious and the staff is amazing. I always order the same thing (chicken melt with pepper/onions and a side of mac salad). Earlier this week I placed an Uber eats order but the delivery driver stole my lunch and didn't deliver the food. E-Cafe found out about the incident remade my meal and delivered it themselves. I really appreciate that they went out of their way help me out! They get a 1000000/10 from me.“

“Holly and her staff are always welcoming and the food is excellent.“

“LaVerdad Cafe is certainly one of my favorite spots in the city. Chef creates amazing flavor profiles, meals and deals. Burnt ends, brisket and oxtails are all amazing. Sides, soups and tacos are top notch. Support this business you will not be disappointed!“

“The Stuffed pepper soup is absolutely delicious! Their Rueben sandwich!!! Omg 🤤 staff is warm and friendly, you’re in and out quickly! You should absolutely stop in for lunch whenever your downtown!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“BEST PIZZA in town on a Wednesday night! Friendly, warm atmosphere where you will feel right at home and meet up with old friends and make new ones. The Belgian waffles are amazing. Stop in on a Saturday for a DELICIOUS panini and cup of soup if you are on campus or out running errands. And wind up your visit with a stop at the Catholic store and you won't walk out empty handed. I can never pass up a card or necklace and I bought my mother in law a baking dish and cutting board for Christmas. I could go on and on but you need to come see for yourself! Besides, my daughter Katie volunteers in the cafe and it's one time all week that I get served by her!!! LOL“

“Gr8 little Cafe that serves more than bakery items - soups, sandwiches & salads. Food came promptly, was hot & delicious ?. Server was attentive & friendly“

“....this tea is,... simply the best... many choices !!...“

“I purchased the works breakfast sandwich and an iced chai latte. The sandwich was amazing. They put it on homemade English muffin and tasted so fresh. The iced chai latte was amazing as well. I would highly recommend.“

“LINDA'S BEAN PIE CAFE (LBPC) IS AN ALL NATURAL FOOD PRODUCTION.“

“Fast service, good atmosphere and delicious breakfast sandwiches!“

“I came for the matcha on tap and was not disappointed. As a tea drinker there are not many places to find a good matcha. I purchased the iced pistachio matcha and it was amazing. Their summer bun with homemade plum jam was also very tasty. If you are a vegan, there are plenty of options. I will definitely be coming back at least once a week. The staff was very personable.“

“The raspberry chip latte with oat milk was amazing. Sometimes people don’t do oat milk the best but this was fabulous. I had the veggie quiche, spinach, pepper, caramelized onion and Navarro cheese. Paired with the mixed greens of arugula, spinach and tomato slice and a dash of balsamic and oil was really great. I wouldn’t say it was the perfectly made quiche but it was amazingly good!! Cool vibe.“

“For those reading this review, Dave’s kitchen should be the company catering your next event. His pork chops with mashed potatoes, gravy, applesauce and green beans were absolutely delicious. Dave and Kathy catered my rehearsal dinner at my parents and everyone was so impressed! The owners are very personable and accommodating. Thank you for a phenomenal home cooked meal!“

“My best friend and I had the privilege of meeting these two wonderful women in Toronto after a concert. We had no cell service to call a taxi to bring us back to our Air BNB and kept getting wrong directions from everyone. We had stopped them to ask if they knew where to pick up a taxi, and instead of giving us the run around, like everyone else, they gave us a ride to our Air Bnb an hour out of their way with no hesitation. And for that they will always have 2 new customers for life, and anytime anyone we know goes to Buffalo we will recommend they visit their establishment. We couldn’t have been more grateful for them, their character alone tells me what kind of business they run! Please everyone tell a friend to tell a friend about their business. Thank you again ladies ❤️“

“Best cafe to ever exist at the University at Buffalo This cafe is at the atrium and offers ice cream and has a fully functional Starbucks. If you live in Wilkeson, other buildings in Ellicot or even to visit the Ellicot complex in the University at Buffalo. Take a stop at this “

“The employees were awesome- especially the service desk - super nice & caring“

“Hands down the best bakery I have been to. If you are ever in the area, you are doing disservice to yourself if you do not try it! 10/10“
