“I think this may be my favorite dinner I've ever visited in Buffalo. We arrived around 2:15 pm, and they close at 3 pm, so clearly they aim more for the breakfast to lunch crowd, because the place was empty except us. They offer little donut bits as appetizers, which was a new one on me. Good stuff, too. Apparently all their food is made on premises, including the donuts. The staff (owners I think?) were super friendly & accommodating. The space is comfortable without being run-down, nice without being stuffy. There's also a covered outdoor area, but it was too muggy out today so we stayed inside where it was cooler. The music was just classic rock, and was very background, to the extent that it doesn't impede a conversation, so basically perfect. Mum got the tuna melt, was very satisfied, and I had the veggie skillet with pepper jack, which was tremendous. When asked what kind of cheese, there were 6 options (cheddar, provolone, and so on), so I said "surprise me" because they all sounded good. She narrowed it down: "white, orange, or weird," so I said, naturally, "weird." Which is how I got the excellent pepper jack (which she picked instead of feta, the other weird option). It was also noted that they're very open to mixing up menu items, and that they try to make the specials relevant to area events, like the Italian sausage being available during the recent Italian festival. Also great, the prices were *so* reasonable: the bill only came to $25 & some change, which means $30 for the two of us, which is a really good price for how good everything was, & the charming atmosphere. The location is a little out of my usual range, but I'll definitely have to make special effort to hit them up again in the future. Love it!“

“Dog friendly exceptionally delicious lattes of all varieties“

“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!“

“I stopped in today for the first time to grab some pickles for a Christmas gift. I kinda just thought this was a store for pickles (lol) but to be fair I didn't do much research.. For starters, the gentleman who helped me was so helpful and went above and beyond. We got to talking about Kombucha and how I can't stand the stuff when he offered me a sample... I had to leave with a growler. (Which is already half gone because now the husband AND the kids are drinking it lol.) They have so many Kombucha options on tap. It's really impressive. What else I didn't realize is that this is also a sandwich shop and bar. This place has great vibes. This would also be a really great spot for a date night or meet-up because they have a bunch of board games out for everyone to make themselves at home. I wish I had more time to stay today because the menu looked amazing. Can't wait to go back.“

“We had biked around a little before settling at Owl Eyes because it was the cosiest spot on the block. We were so hungry we ordered a sandwich each and then couldn't resist getting a third one to share. We both agreed their breakfast sandwich was the best, although the turkey blt and grilled cheese were also delicious. The bread was nice and toasted each time and all three sandwiches were delightfully different. Last but not least their butterbeer latte was tasty and really warmed us up.“

“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 place to bring kids for breakfast. Very fast service and friendly staff“

“Great place to bring kids for breakfast. Very fast service and friendly staff“

“I had a great lunch at Cafe Bar Moriarty's. The chicken salad delicious. It was light and fresh for a lunch. We also got the potato salad as a side which was super delicious. I've never had a potato salad like it and could have probably eaten a gallon. Haha.

I'm excited to go back next time I'm in Buffalo.“

“this is what I want when I want a sandwich. Huge, good bread, quality turkey, crispy bacon. Perfect.“

“We stopped here for a quick breakfast and coffee before we headed to the airport. Not super friendly staff, but they were quick to serve us. Our iced coffee drinks were flavorful. Food was fresh and pretty good, too. They were out of steak for a steak and egg breakfast sandwich, so we opted for the burrito breakfast bowl. It is inside the Westin Hotel.“

“Delicious homemade food with generous portions. Pay with cash/card, labor, or donation! Support Buffalo's ONLY pay-what-you-can cafe ❤️“

“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!“

“We attended the brunch today. The service was both friendly and accurate. The food was outstanding. We tried their famous cinnamon rolls, as well as other brunch items. We were pleased with all the food. The owners were present. They were very nice to their guests. We plan to go back to have their dinner soon.“

“Wow I had such a chill time here today! Tons of parking , a lot of seating. A mix of families with kids getting breakfast and groups of friends grabbing a bite. The music selection was relaxing too. Got a vanilla latte and a Cruller . Latte was good, really smooth and well made. They use good beans because it wasn’t harsh or burnt tasting at all.The Cruller was expectedly delicious and the texture was so surprising!“

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

“This is my go-to lunch place for me. I work at Fountain Plaza, so when I forget to pack something for lunch, I usually head here. It’s the cheapest sandwich place in the city, or at least near my specific location. I know other coworkers go to a few other places I will not name, but those other places charge a minimum of two bucks higher or more for the same sandwich.

They always have people in there, which is a great sign. It’s inside the Electric Tower, so there’s a nice lobby to walk through to get to their cafe. The employees are always so sweet, and they make sure to get your order correct - which is awesome, considering how many places don’t really care if your order is right! I really appreciate that - they double check your order before starting it.
It’s a basic cafe, and they serve up the typical sandwiches you’d expect. I’ll be honest, I’ve never ordered anything but sandwiches, so I don’t know what else they offer! The size of the sandwiches is something else I like. They are not enormous, and can't fit your mouth around them, NY deli style sandwiches (which are great, but there’s a time and place for everything!). These are the perfect size, with the perfect ratio of bread to filling, at least to me. I want to be able to finish the whole sandwich without feeling like I overate or am stuffed to the gills. So the portions are the correct size, regardless of what anyone else might say.

My go to’s are a basic turkey with mayo and lettuce, or a hot corned beef with swiss and mustard on rye. I can’t speak for the other items, but if they are as good as those two, then you can’t go wrong!

Oh, and there’s always a Dad joke written on their board above the soda!“

“ECC college had them cater an event today, and I have to say, it was the best lunch I have had in a long time.It was fresh, tasty and healthy. And the sweet potatoes cake was the most healthy scrumptious dessert I have had in a long time. Thank You!“

“Nice hot breakfast.Great price. Friendly and helpful staff.“

“I just love Kornerstone Cafe Larkin, and so glad it has opened up here. They are always extremely friendly and the food is of quality and delicious. Plus, they have awesome healthy and vegan options. The atmosphere has a great vibe, I can't stay away!“

“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“

“Grab lunch here quite often and never disappointed. Soup, sandwiches, and lunch specials like poke bowls are always on point. I'm sad if I miss out on the Zupa Tuscano or cream soups. Friendly owners and staff. Always recommend to coworkers and those in the building.“

“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 best tea ever. Highest quality. Made with love“

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

“10/10. Excellent food and wonderful, sweet service. if you're lucky enough to get some oxtail, just get 2. A dinner at LaVerdad Cafe is a real treat, worth every penny. Great job.“

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

“I love globe market. Good food decor atmosphere and staff. Love it. But for such a beautiful place their bathroom is garbage. The doors are broken. The soap is just dawn in a squeeze bottle. Seriously put some time into fixing it. It's honestly embarrassing.“
