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“

“Best CAFÉ ever 💜 drinks are excellent and very affordable! Beautiful scenery, very welcoming and feels like home. Highly recommend ! Please help us support Alice's dream“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Not only is this a great hideout when you just want some quiet time away, but it’s also a great space to have a party when you want to be surrounded by all your favorite people! Fresh food, hot drinks, cold drinks, alcoholic, nonalcoholic, you name it. It’s got everything and more! The diversity of fun and inclusive activities are unmatched and unbound. This is more than just a café. This is a community of acceptance peace and love. It is my home away from home. It should be yours too. Check it out.“

“The pastries were delicious so were the lattes! This place smells like heaven when you walk in“

“Dog friendly exceptionally delicious lattes of all varieties“

“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 🙏🏼“

“Fantastic lunch. What a nice surprise. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Lovely, light filled space with bright decor with a touch of boho and floral accompanied by Indie tunes with a blend of delights for European or American pallet, and warm and friendly service to come in grab something to go or to get cozy and stay and get carried away connecting within, connecting without/with friends, or making new friends… board games are a bonus! You’re sure to want to come back!“

“I've been to this location twice and despite the hustle and bustle of the cafe (hey, it's Elmwood and Bryant with brunch hours, the wait is gonna be a tad long), the staff are professional and get the job done. I've enjoyed what they did with the space, making the seating cozy and fun but also accessible (or at least as accessible as the location can be with maximizing seating). I'm looking forward to visiting throughout the seasons for a good brunch spot.“

“Lola’s Bakeshop at The Lunch Box, inside the Lafayette Court Building, has the best pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. They always have top notch standards, like chocolate chip and peanut butter, but they also offer creative options like London Fog Lavender cookies or Dubai Chocolate Pistachio brownies. Also amazing gluten free options. The Lunch Box makes one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“Best coffeeshop on Hertel I’ve tried and the employees aren’t snobs when you ask to customize your order. Fresh baked bagels in-house and various cream cheese flavors. They also cater to vegetarians if you need those options. Overall glad I stopped and checked this place out. Will come visit again and highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Everything i tried so far is absolutely out of this world good! This is my new favorite spot!!! Thank you for the hospitality and kindness. I will definitely be stopping by more often!“

“Wonderful little spot to stop. Very friendly service , food was large proportions and tasted delicious. Coffee flowed as did our conversation. Would highly recommend this Cafe to all.“

“We’ve been coming to Unbridled Cafe for a few years when visiting family in Buffalo. It’s always been a great spot for breakfast & the mercantile is super cute with full of unique items! We got to meet the owner today on a whim when we stopped in & she was so kind & welcoming! & as a fellow “horse girl”, I highly recommend! The decor is a cute western vibe & the food is great!“

“Great food and great staff“

“Great place! Food is excellent 10/10“

“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.“

“The peanut butter cookies are to die for“

“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“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Great experience start to finish.“

“The broth is fantastic, the portion sizes are generous and the menu offers many pho choices and is clear about types of meat involved. However I felt there wasn’t enough meat in the bowl, the rare beef was too cooked and the brisket too fatty, otherwise good.“
