Cafes near Lackawanna

“Got a Harazi coffee and slice of beehive. I was going between that coffee and a Turkish coffee and the person working at the counter said he liked that one better. It was very hot but so delicious as well. One bite of the beehive and you will be in love. It’s sweet but not overly sweet. Would totally recommend checking this place out if you are in the area!“

“I didn't snap a picture of my breakfast but take my word for it it was great. It reminded me of my grandmas kitchen and her breakfast. Very fast and friendly service. First time they're and definitely will be going back when I pass through.“

“They always get the order right. Where other hortons have failed us and gotten our order wrong or missed something in the order this one seems to have a great team of employees. They work well together. We never see them arguing or yelling at each other. Give the morning crew a raise ad they really get things done in a timely professional manner.“

“We had a wonderful time at Buckminster’s Cat Cafe. The food and coffee is delicious. I love my Calico cafe. These kitties are very sweet and healthy. The coffee shop is clean and well design. I cant stand of buying cute stuffs here. Strongly recommend this place!!! We definitely will visit next time.“

“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.“

“I usually eat here after a killer workout at the gym down the street. Words alone can not describe how incredible Depew Deli is. From the most professional and friendliest owners you'll ever meet to a wonderful staff who make you feel like family, always the Best ! The food is always delicious and I would eat here daily if I lived closer, seriously Willie is the greatest Chef !! Willie and May, Thank You for such an amazing restaurant with the best food I've ever had !! Rock“

“I have never been here and I live in the close to this gem. Stopped in for lunch today WOW the staff the food was outstanding. Portions are generous I MADE LUNCH AND DINNER. Fresh, healthy WOW that all I can say!!!. Keep it up!!!!. You should consider franchise“

“(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.“

“coffee served at the right temperature, so i dont scald my mouth :) they have a little self-serving to add cinnamon and simple sugar in your little drinks :) everyting in there is under 6 bucks unless its like that one spicy drink? havent tried it but it looks enticing“

“If you really enjoy good sandwiches. Roast beef, a Cuban this is a must stop. Do you like going somewhere not overbearing that puts the quality of the food first? This is a must stop. In fact if you are reading this, and not currently traveling to Moriarty's you are listening,and are making a huge mistake.“

“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.“

“Only tried the kombucha there and it was delicious! So many flavors to choose from, and the lady was lovely.FYI it’s a bit hard to find because you have to go through a small alley etc, we thought we were at the wrong place at first, so, don’t get discourage by the lack of signage, it’s there and worth a visit!“

“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 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 have a great variety of breakfast sandwiches here and the baked bread selection is amazing. We always get a dozen pretzel and rosemary bagels to go and freeze them for later. 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.“

“The absolute Best ! The brisket melts in your mouth , the nachos are amazing to the rice bowls ,burnt ends , Gouda Mac n cheese , those mashed potatoes and Beans , don’t know which is better . Your food was beyond our expectations. Thank you for everything and making my dad’s birthday one to remember . We will be back very soon :) Best Food in town !!!“

“Stopped in for lunch based on Yelp reviews and we found a very clean, simple restaurant with a pleasant hostess/server. The food was excellent. The French onion soup was very very good. Hubby had the Italian beef and I had a Pittsburgh chicken salad. Both were fresh, tasty and very filling. We will be back to try other menu items.“

“This spot is an absolute joy and the kind of incredible toasts and coffees which we deserve in Buffalo (but more likely to see in larger cities). The staff create miracles on bread and each creation is like a whole meal. I like the sweet and savory toasts and the coffee cups are HUGE.“

“Used Bravo Cafe and Catering for my daughters birthday party. Tired of same old pizza and wings! Trays of hot delicious food were ready for the little ones to eat! Great service, delicious food, great price! Would recommend to all for your friends and family events! ​“

“Everything from start to finish was perfect. The ease of making the arrangements, meal selection, to setup and staffing, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you Ben and Trey. Wishing you all the best in your new adventure.“

“My lox on everything bagel was delicious and fresh. Also it was overflowing with cream cheese and a large cucumber slice that made eating difficult but the flavor was worth it. I've ordered it three times. Mostly dance music plays over the speakers, free WiFi, bus and metro nearby“

“I always come to try the specialty drinks and they are always amazing! 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“

“We had a fantastic experience at Mangia tonight!!!! Our server Wilyana (sp?) was probably the best server I have ever had. All of our appetizers and entrees were flavorful and very generous portion size. 2 glasses of wine, salad, appetizer, pizza and three entrées, and dessert were only $140. We can’t wait to go back!!!“

“It’s a decent place. But for sure could use a lesson in customer service. They seem to be bothered having to wait on you. They find “busy” work to do as you stand there waiting to place your order. Makes it kinda uncomfortable to stand there“

“It does not matter whether you go to the Blasdell or Amherst location, they have the best kind of drinks i’ve ever had. My favorite is the milk smoothies. they have almond, coconut, coffee, honeydew. and others. those listed are just the ones i’ve had. I’ll put it to you this way, I like this place so much that i’m taking the active effort to copy and paste this review onto the both Tea Leaf locations. (it’s true)“

“The service is friendly and fast, and the food is great. Best of all for me, they have (delicious) gluten free bread and wraps available. The internal, covered courtyard seating area is beautiful. Plus, they cater a hard-to-beat lunch spread!“

“Without a doubt mine and my husband’s new obsession. The staff are friendly and answer any questions you may have. There’s always something new to enjoy and their hash browns and Focaccia are without a doubt the best you’ll ever have! On a scale of 1-10 they’re a 12.“

“So very glad The Lunch Box re-opened in downtown Buffalo. We needed some other options. I have never eaten anything I didn't care for. 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.“

“I've taken out food from this establishment for many years when my employer was located directly across the street. Excellent food, and great folks who run this business. No matter what I ate it was delicious. Five stars and if you haven't eaten there, you should.“

“We went to the Garage a few weeks ago for a bite to eat and end of the work week drinks. The outside is very deceiving, the inside is huge with an open space concept and a large bar. 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!“

“I have tried many menu items. this place has fantastic roasted coffee, unique and quality special drinks during holidays. Food items are very Buffalo and delicious. The staff has always been kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. If I'm in the area, its a must stop for me. Keep up the great work and seeya soon.“

“There is street parking plus there is a lot across from here with free parking.They give you complimentary chips and salsa to try while you wait for your order.So with speedy service and a smile I received my two refried bean enchiladas and my sides of rice and beans.The food was delicious, hot and just to my liking, as I ordered no sauce .Lots of drink choices like margaritas and so many menu options ,that I can't wait for my next visit to try something new.“

“Came in for drinks and a breakfast sandwich today…sandwiches were amazing! Got the iced caramel macchiato and iced almond joy drink and they were great too. When we were leaving we looked at the wonderful desserts, which are all made there, and decided to bring a piece of the peanut butter and jelly cake home. This cake did not disappoint, it was so soft and flavorful! We will be back!“

“I love Spot coffee! They have a good selection of drinks, a bakery case, and food made to order. I recently came in the morning with a group of people and we had no problem finding a table. I ordered a coffee and Mikes Special on wheat focaccia which was filling and delicious. My sandwich was made to order but still came out fairly quick. Restaurant was clean and the staff members were professional and nice. Highly recommend!“

“I came in after an appointment, uncaffeinated and miserable, and left a happy woman! I swear that the Ironman smoothie had angel's tears or something added to it. Really great service and super cozy inside too. Wish I could have lingered longer!“

“I was staying at the Westin in Buffalo and was pleasantly surprised by their café in the lobby! Probably one of the best bacon egg and cheese sandwiches I've ever had. Another review had mentioned their coffee - it's fantastic! Service was fast and friendly and the café was very clean. Will definitely make it a point to stop here again the next time I'm in town.“

“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.“

“Still one of my favorite delis Must get the balsamic vinaigrette whenever possible and on everything Best salad ever with the Balsamic vinegarette - love the candied nuts!! They aren't stingy with the toppings either! Love the chipotle turkey sandwich Love the caprese sandwich, especially since it has the secret sauce on it (the balsamic vinegarette!!) Will be back as often as I can“

“Asked for a Julian with cucumbers instead of onion and bacon instead of capicola. Probably should call it by my name now, but boy oh boy...so VERY good. Small salad left me full on my lunch break. They didnt up charge me just accepted the substituitions. If you want good food, great portions at reasonable prices. Definitely check them out. Impressed!“

“We order often from this lovely coffee shop at work. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing, great customization and options for everyone. The sweet potato breakfast with eggs is so good it makes me want to cry. Don't forget to get a donut, the lemon poppyseed is incredible.“

“So I am only 2 weeks into my living in Buffalo, NY. I stay in an AirBnB three doors down from this wonderful spot. I am her from Birmingham, Alabama to work in Climate Justice organizing. I go in and it was nice and warm, the young lady behind the counter was focused and paid attention to my needs. The sandwich I had was a Panini with mushrooms in it and it was.....Whew!!! Amazing, then as an older jazz head, the jazz made me feel as though I had found a new quiet space. I am visiting again and again and as a newly published poet I am thinking of asking about hosting a poetry reading at the spot and bringing some folks in to enjoy this beautiful space.“

“It is a little expensive but they have so many options! I had a chaisicle and cheesecake. The chai could have used a little more flavor but it was a blended drink which probably caused that. The cheesecake was very good. The iced coffee and lemon bar were also very good. I loved the atmosphere. There was a decent amount of seating but the building is small. I will be going back in the future.“

“What a great way to end the night! Idk if she was the manager or the owner but she greeted us with a smile and served up some wonderful cocktails! We got a chance to witness the open mic no mic performances and the vibe was super chill. Looking forward to the next time! Cheers!“

“Offering a dinner buffet Monday through Saturday and a brunch buffet on Sunday and you can even get a table that looks out onto the field.I tried both buffets and they are delicious. So many options including pork, turkey,pasta dishes, potatoes, corn ,rolls and a salad bar.The bruch has pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, blitzes and an amazing dessert area with cheesecake, pies, cakes and lemon squares that are so delish.“

“Best spot coffee, location around! The owner is amazing and so friendly. She really does a great job with the place. It's beautiful and gorgeous and offers so much to do and look at, as well as other artisan sales. She also does many community events and really strives to set her business apart. If you're looking for a good breakfast sandwich, the Mike never disappoints. Highly recommend!“
