“Very few places nail every part of the experience but this place does. Food was amazing. They mill their own flower in house and you can see them do it. The baked goods are fresh and delicious. The coffee was some of the best I’ve had. The service was top shelf. They had a line on a busy Saturday morning but they moved it quickly and it never affected the quality of the service“

“The service was pretty friendly: the baristas were approachable and conversational. The atmosphere has a different approach with a warehouse feel, yet still has the Cafe affect. I got a salted caramel late: it was tasty with a side of latte art in a clear glass cup. I absolutely love that this place used clear glass cups. It adds to the Cafe feel! There isn't many options for the way of food other than pastries and bagels. Maybe expand their menu a bit in that department would add to the experience of Buffalo being a food city.“

“(This review is for the Buffalo, NY location) Read about this new Yemeni coffeeshop opening up and wanted to check it out. It was a nice space with a decent amount of seating inside wrapped around the counter. Smelled delightful with all the blends of coffee and teas inside too! Since I’m not a big coffee drinker, I got a tea instead, specifically the Adeni Chai. It was a black tea mix with cardamom and nutmeg, which was something different for me, but I enjoyed. The main thing I came for was this treat that they called Honeycomb, which is a traditional Yemeni pastry. It was filled with cream cheese and had honey drizzled on top. They break apart into these little balls and it was so yummy. Definitely recommend checking this out if nothing else. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I enjoyed sitting in the shop and doing some quality people watching while I enjoyed my tea. Got a couple treats to-go as well, so I’ll have to update this review after I have those.“

“Tiny little place for take-out coffee. I think there are 3 stools at a window but it's not an actual cafe. I got the chai Chihuahua which is one of their specialty drinks and it was delicious! But cost even more than my crazy regular drink at Starbucks. Very expensive! Really enjoyed it but can't afford it on the regular.“

“You ever witness someone harassing a service worker and just know they’re going to come on here and give an awful review? I witnessed the exchange noted today, and a few key details seem to be missed. Firstly, it should be noted this locally owned business is run by only two people. The woman taking orders is also the barista making specialty drinks not just pouring coffee, and the other gentleman is making all of the food fresh to order. Is she the warmest soul I’ve ever encountered? No. But she is efficient and knowledged and working her butt off.The entire group of 5 proceeded to gang up on her and shout things across the very small space after the woman working tried to defend herself and implored them to remember she’s a human being and they continued to bully her. Even then, she proceeded to serve them their food with a kind disposition even though I’m sure she was feeling defeated.All of that aside, for a real review, the food was so good I went two days in a row. Coffee was hot and delicious. Lots of options for any dietary restrictions. A great little spot.“

“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!“

They also have a nice selection of cream cheeses and other goodies like fresh eggs and pickled red onion in their cooler. Definitely recommend ordering online because there usually is a 20 min wait for sandwiches if you get there after 9am.“

“Went for the first time last week and the food was delicious. But I was especially impressed with the fact that they used coffee ice cubes in my iced coffee! I do this myself at home but have never been out to a restaurant that does it! Means as the ice cubes melt the coffee doesn't get diluted with water, because the ice cubes are just more coffee! Fantastic.“

“This place has the opportunity to be way better and way cooler than it is. Don’t order the breakfast sandwich, they microwave them. The pastry’s are excellent and the coffee is good, and the service is great. But they should have more jam band decorations and have more board games and AN ACTUAL COOK making sandwiches. Great spot with good coffee and pastries but that’s it“

I love getting a cinnamon roll of the day and occasionally I'll get some cheesecake bites, key lime pie when they have it or brownies which are all amazing. The only thing that always seems to disappoint when I go is their breakfast sandwiches and wraps... the egg is huge making the other ingredients almost garish like. I paid extra for meat and I barely tasted it because of how much egg was on it. Everything else is amazing just not a go to for a $14 breakfast wrap“

I like the fact that they have added some things they didn't have before, especially those baked goods! Today's choice, "The Vegan," was delicious. I am absolutely stuffed and so appreciative of fresh tasting and looking ingredients.Vegetarian options: I am an omnivore that likes to eat vegetarian or vegan often. Was very pleased w/The Vegan today and have enjoyed their other vegetarian or vegan options in the past. Thank you for having these options, it is truly appreciated.“

They were still running some holiday and Valentine's Day drink specials. Although I did not partake in any of those, a few friends did and said they were delicious. We ordered the giant pretzel that came with cheese sauce and honey mustard. The pretzel came out hot and giant just as the name stated. It was perfectly cooked and the sauces were yummy. We also ordered some chicken wings. We did half medium and half the sweet and spicy Sicilian. The wings came out hot and crispy. The sweet and Sicilian wings were absolutely divine!!! I couldn't get enough!!! I can't place my finger on the taste exactly but if you're hesitant about ordering them I would say go for it!! The service was fantastic, our bartender was personable and very friendly. We are looking forward to our next visit! Also be sure to check their website to see if they are running any specials!“
