“Thank you to Linda and Frank! Yes I agree with you both on how nice this "little cafe in the rough" is! Great find! Great food, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. My daughter and I actually ate lunch inside the cafe at a table- wow! After doing only take-out for many months, we sure did appreciate eating inside...like the good ole days! We were the only patrons for quite a while. Later a few other patrons came in after attending a midday mass at the St. Gregory Catholic Church. Still, we were seated far apart, observing social distance. We were greeted and served by a very sweet lady. Both my daughter and I did the soup/sandwich combo. She had the chicken Caesar wrap and said it was yummy! I had a Reuben sandwich. Simple and delicious. We both had the homemade, hearty chicken gumbo soup. Loved the okra and chicken pieces loaded in the thick broth. It was superb, hit the spot. A+ We also enjoyed a plate of Pierogis. Lucky for us, pierogis are offered only during the current Lenten period. Cheese or potato onion - we loved both! We ordered a full plate for $6.50. Really, I've never had pierogi this delicious. Definitely homemade, a little on the small side in terms of quantity for the price. Yet still worth getting. Since it's Lent, the cafe is offering a fish fry dinner each Friday evening through March. It's take-out only. Pre-pay $11, or $12 at the door. As well, on Wednesday evenings, during Lent, the cafe is open for pizza night. The comfy sofas in the lounge area are calling us back to sip coffee, relax and chat with a friend. We are definitely coming back!“
“We stopped here for breakfast / lunch whilst on tour. I accidentally ordered an entire foccacia bread for myself which I guess turned out OK because I had it for like 3 meals and snacks. 10/10 would highly recommend an entire foccacia for bands on tour. Also, PS I'm sorry, I'm not sure if it is spelled "foccacia" or "focaccia." I guess it could also be "foccaccia" but that just doesn't look right to me.“
“The cutest cafe in town! Amazing coffee, I had a Vanilla Cappuccino that was delicious. The barista was super friendly and made a fantastic cappuccino. Great atmosphere perfect for relaxing with friends or getting some work done. Definitely recommend you stop in if you're looking for great espresso and a charming “
“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!“
“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“
“Full disclosure I live out of town now. When I lived in the 716 every time I needed a birthday cake, I got one from here. When my girlfriend wanted something sweet, I got it from here. It's mandatory we get something from here when we visit. The mallow cup pie is a must, along with any of their different flavors of cheesecake.“
“What a wonderfull bakery/pizza kitchen! I visited this weekend and as soon as we stepped through the door, we LOVED the decor and how cute it was in there! The bakery had many BEAUTIFUL cupcakes and desserts displayed. They also offer tea and fresh juice! The cupcakes and brownie we tried where absolutely wonderful! It was nice to see others recieving their orders of handmade pizza ( looked AMAZING, haven't tried yet) and seeing how sweet and kind the owners are. We will most definitely be back! Love supporting such a wonderful small business!!!“
“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“
“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.“
“A great little hidden gem. I ordered a Greek chicken salad for lunch and it was excellent. It had the perfect combination of cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese, onions, and a generous portion of chicken. My wife ordered an omelette with micro greens, and it was also outstanding, the house with free refills for an extra two dollars was also great! So many times you go to a breakfast place or a bakery and the coffee is terrible. This coffee had some real flavor to it. I will definitely be back.“
“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.“
“Would give it 4.5 starts. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, the coffee quite good, and the service was friendly. The ambiance is ok, somewhat sterile and could use some warming up, but isn't a dealbreaker. The main issue is the fact that everything in this place is disposable with no options. This would be a five-start place if not for this issue.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Our 2nd time here and like the 1st time nothing but amazing food and love everything about this place!!!!Parking: Not sure how many parking spots both times had any issues to find a parking spotKid-friendliness: Would definitely Bring our kids back here!!!“
“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!“
“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“
“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 !!!“
“Balanced Bite is in the former Flourish location on Broadway in Lancaster and oh my goodness !!! their food is FABULOUS!!!!! All vegan. No processed oil, sugar or salt.... Their breakfast sandwiches are divine! Everyone who works there is friendly and fun and in the back is an incredible chef who went to the NYC Culinary School and rumor has it he was offered a job in a Michelin Star vegan restaurant in NYC and turned it down to come work in Lancaster! Their vegan Buffalo Wing soup is out of this world!! I always order their meal prep. Five awesome meals...big enough to share! Always delicious! Their hours are limited to Friday & Saturday. They have a great breakfast & lunch menu. Plus a deli case full of wonderful vegan things like vegan "egg" salad, "chicken" salad made from chick peas, hummus, "cheese" for nachos..they also have amazing smoothies & great coffee. Nice selection of healthy baked goods like muffins and cookies and fantastic sour dough bread! It's a tiny place with maybe 6 tables and chairs...it's charming. For healthy eating that tastes phenomenal... THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!“
“Unbridled CafeCoffee - 8.5really good. Just enough robustness, bitterness and smoothness.Temp was just hot enough to drink and got somewhat cold before I finished.Pancakes - 7 pretty good. Optimal amount of chocolate chips. Lacking some flavorHot chocolate - 7.5served exceptionally hot. So in this case very hot chocolate. Whipped cream - excellent. Not the chocolaty-est. So, a little too much hot and not enough chocolate.Service - 8Waitress was not the peachiest in Georgia but it’s ok because we are in New York.Decor - 9is nice and rustic at the same time. Very nice place. Slightly noisy but as expected in a cafe. And people are probably getting fired up for chicken wings, beer and the Super Bowl. Go Niners.“
“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.“
“I saw the original Halloween, on Halloween. It was very fun. I'm a younger guy, and I was worried about being the youngest person there, but I was happy to see that the crowd was very diverse and fun. Great place to see a movie and drink a beer.“
“I LOVE this place! Every time I go in there they treat me like I'm their best friend - even though initially I didn't know any of them. I don't know who raised these polite, friendly young people, but they give me hope for the current generation! Also the location is quaint and the food is delicious, with generous portions. (Although I do miss the couch, which for some unknown reason was transferred to the apparently preferred Larkin Square location. ??)“
“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.“
“During a very difficult time for our family, Tracy and Jess went above and beyond to provide a beautiful breakfast tray of sandwiches with both regular and gluten free bread, bagels, cream cheese and more. The recipients all commented on how delicious everything was and how much they appreciated breakfast. More than anything, their care and compassion will not be forgotten. Thank you so much!“
“Went here for the first time today. I’ve been to a few different dispensaries/CBD Shops inquiring about cbd for sleep. Out of the many shops I’ve visited the owner of this store was by far the friendliest, and most knowledgeable on the products. He didn’t try to just sell me things but showed me exactly what he thought I’d benefit from most. I wasn’t able to grab a coffee today but i will be back to try some next time. Everything that i could see looked amazing and i will definitely be 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“
“This place was super cute! The food was done so quickly and was done correctly. The girl working the cash register was extremely helpful when I was asking questions and all the employees were happy. Definitely a nice little spot and had lots of seating.“
“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“
“What a great experience. Needed cannollis and lobster tails to go for a long ride back to Maryland. The filled the cannolis as we waited. She packed them and wrapped them for travel in a cooler at her suggestion. She cared enough to ensure they stayed fresh for when we got back home. You don't find that much anymore. The deserts were incredibly tasty and properly dry thanks to the attentiveness of their staff. You can't go wrong by eating here or getting it to go. Thank you to the wonderful staff that we were lucky to meet.“

“This is a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of coffee and homemade food. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that you go home smelling like cooking. The dining room is so comfortable and a real home town country feel. They are very popular and for good reasons.“
“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!“
“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.“
“A must try!!! Just stopped in because we searched local cafes - best decision!! I had the jalapeño cheese bagel and my nephew had the everything bagel. Both toasted with cream cheese. They were so soft and flavorful. I also had a cup of coffee. Everything was an AMAZING price. Staff was super friendly. We will definitely be back.“
“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.“
“Came here for lunch and got a combo (half sandwich and a bowl of soup). This is truly a great deal because both were delicious, and came out quickly as well. I came during the lunch hour, during the week, and it was busy but the line was moving relatively quickly. Great place to dine in or take out. Definitely will come here again!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Food was delicious hot and fresh. Customer service seemed attentive and quick. My only gripe is the prices I ordered a fish and chips lunch and 16oz pop and it was almost $20 bucks lol. Which is a bit steep for lunch. Should've gotten the soup lol. Anyways the fish and chips meal came with everything on the menu that it was supposed to come with it minus the coleslaw which was a bummer and which is why I took away a star. I would recommend them based off of one busy lunchtime experience.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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“
“If there were 10 Stars available - they would received a "10" from our group of 3.We had a girls night out for supper and we were Blown Away with the service, food, and cocktails!I would ask the restaurant to maybe play some Frank Sinatra/Tony Bennett music for the ultimate Italian Experience.My new Favorite Place for a gathering!“
“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.“
