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!“

“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!“

“This place is such a gem! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful — extremely spacious, eclectic, and full of personality in every corner. (Literally there's a little something for EVERYONE!) It's a cafe, so the coffee end of things is undoubtedly their strong suit but they also have a cooler with canned beverages to suit anyone, from bottled water and iced teas to canned wine & beer to NA options! It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to stay a little longer, whether you’re grabbing a coffee, catching some live entertainment, or just soaking in the vibe. Even though they’re brand new, the team operates like they’ve been doing this for years — friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell a lot of thought and love went into creating this space. Definitely a must-visit spot.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Best place for food and great service“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“
