VEGAN OPTIONS! I was so pleasantly surprised and thrilled to find this place, after many places were closed in Buffalo that had vegan breakfast options! Vegan sausage, tumeric tofu scramble, and vegan cheese with plenty of other topping options for bagel sandwiches and the latte was absolutely banging. Perfect latte, very good, strong coffee. I loved this place. Vegan breakfast is hard to come by, especially HOT! And they came through. Amazing. I will be back.

I understand it's a coffee shop but their is a pungent aroma that permeates the air when certain beans are brewed. It has nauseating effect on one's ability to relax or do work. I have never experienced this at Spot coffee, Cafe Aroma or Panera. Also the noise chairs being adjusted by customers has a grading impact on my ear drums. Why not have just booths? The music goes from 80s to heavy metal. Keep it more consistent and you probably get more customers.

Love this place! Went for the first time a couple weeks ago, it's got such a cool vibe. They're always playing really good music, when I was in there they were playing a lot of classic rock. Lots of really cool things to look at, they've got a display of random collectibles, from Ghostbusters to Evangelion! They were playing the Evangelion anime on the TV ???? the food is soooo good, delicious bagels and coffee. Loved the iced chai latte, you could choose to put almond milk! Highly recommend giving it a shot, well worth it!

The place is beautiful to hangout, study, bring your laptop and get work done. Comfortable sitting, lot of natural light and good music, staff is also pretty friendly. Unfortunately I have already try several of their coffees and I haven’t like any, it taste like burn coffee every time, never get to finish it, their teas are little more acceptable, I’m case of food, isn’t anything special either. I give 3 stars all to the vibes of the place.

Fantastic tasting coffee. Tried the cold brew that had lots of nice fruit notes. A refreshing change from the boring Starbucks blends. My one critique is that the baked goods, specifically the cookies are a tad overpriced for the size. But then again, this business specializes in good coffee :) Will be back for more!

Meghan Sauer

good coffee, decent atmosphere. some good meal and snack options. but? you can tell the employees are ridiculously overworked. why is the same people every time I go in? do they not get days off? they look absolutely exhausted. “small business” =/= screw over employees lol do better there and you’ll be in Buffalo for a long time, which I wouldn’t mind! it’s a great place aside from that. but overwork your employees? I don’t see things lasting long, honestly.

Craig Savage

Always an absolute pleasure. As a former barista and bean roaster, I have mad respect for their practices and they have great taste. The atmosphere is phenomenal and its where I bring people every time they visit me in Buffalo

I just moved to the neighborhood and was looking for a new coffee joint. I was excited to see the doors open a few weeks ago. I brought home a bag of beans and a coffee for me and the misses. Really great stuff. We’re pretty chill coffee snobs, and we cannot wait to try the rest of the beans/roasts. Spoke to the owner for a brief second, and it seems like he has big dreams for this cafe. Good luck, and you have our support. :)

Dawn Cochran

They place scary/classic movies instead of football = instant five stars. Great place to chill out and study.

Jacob Lunduski

Always friendly staff. Always fine product. Never had a disappointment there!

This is seriously the best place to get coffee in Buffalo. The staff are extremely friendly, the food is amazing AND everything is reasonably priced and amazing quality. It's also a super relaxed vibe where anyone can walk in and feel totally comfortable and at home.

Laura Sylyea Evans

Inconsistent so far on my 2 visits. Yesterday large latte was small. Since it was my first visit i figured that was the large. Until today. Same order different size. Looks more like a large. Friend ordered small regular coffee and got some sorta foamy thing. Today a small regular coffee is much larger. Paid cash. Cashier had trouble making change but fixed issue immediately. As a couple of 50 somethings, we both felt like we weren't exactly welcomed by the hipster demographic. Maybe 3rd time will be the charm?

Sarah Welton-Lair

The girl waiting on us was nice! The environment was dirty tables were not clean...And the girl behind the counter took of her shirt and wore her bra as she was making the food???

Nicole Lyn

My spouse and I traveled to Buffalo and decided to try a few local spots in the neighborhood we were staying in. I’d had my eye on this coffee shop so we decided to take a walk and grab breakfast. Baristas we’re very friendly and accommodating. Atmosphere was beautiful; all 90s nostalgia took me right back to my childhood.

Cool vibe here, though the beverages aren't my style. Have gotten a few different drinks here and they're too sweet (like syrup). Will support them though.

Aric Gaughan

Speedy service and great coffee. Interesting vibe with lots of little interior touches. Note that with the later opening time, there may be a line outside when they open.

Isaac Toth

I have lived almost nextdoor to this place for a year and only got a coffee once, but I just got an iced coffee and their vegan breakfast sandwich and I can garuntee ill be back way too often

Andrew Ruffin

Great atmosphere and clearly excellent beans. The latte was exceptional. Would be nice if there were pour over or french press options for the regular coffee however. Those automatic drip machines didn't quite do the beans justice, it was a bit watery.

Jen Lane

Fantastic spot! Cold brew is killer

Super nice staff, cute place, I got a delicious special Valentine's mocha today called the "broken heart Mocha" with cayenne and chocolate in the latte! Yum! I am not gonna lie I am a sucker for the cute little broken heart drawing on my cup today too. Little personalized touches make a difference. Their window also says they offer discounts to educators, which I love! I'll be back soon!

Cosmic Jerry

Coffee is fantastic! Lots of flavors to choose from. Owner and staff are super friendly, but what really earns all 5 stars are the little things, like only offering NATURAL sweeteners if you want to add it to your cup. The little things that shows BB’s the best.

Wasn't a fan. Solid spot but tough to find parking, long wait, and coffee was inexpensive and poorly made. Paid $6 for a latte that was cold because it was basically a full cup of milk. Would've rather went through a starbucks drive thru. Also, staff wasn't friendly in the slightest.

All I got was a smoothly, which is probably not a good idea at a coffee house, but it sounded good by the list of ingredients. It was the worst and most expensive ($7.75) smoothie I've ever had!

Stopped in to find out if they had a bialy. They didn't I am not what one is other than it might be bagel like not sure about that either. I ordered a v-wich a plant based sandwich with egg or tofu sausage with spinach and tomato pepper jack or vegan pepper jack cheese on a bagel or gluten free bread. My sandwich was egg on gluten free bread tomato and arugula and cheese and a little franks red hot sauce for some kick. I ate it right up and I wasn't even hungry. Staff was polite and professional.

For me, locally owned so that's a big plus. Great people, great coffee. The Nomad blend alone inspired me to leave a review. If you drink black coffee, this is amazing IMO. Rich, smooth, earthy. The smell alone is amazing.

This company has taken over the Perks Elmwood location. I don’t think I’ll miss Perks! BB has excellent drip coffee, plenty of milk options, teas, smoothies, etc. and great food! The “wakin’ bacon flatbread” was totally unexpected.

Stopped in on my trip to Buffalo (12/4)- my man was all alone behind the counter and explained he was short staffed, but he was calm and composed working his way through the line, still giving each customer the attention and service they deserved. Topped with a symmetrical heart- my Oat Mocha was to die for

Michael Bogdan

Coffee came out quickly, but took 25 minutes to get a toasted bagel and cream cheese...which would have been ok if every time I asked I wasn't told it would be "right out" tell me it will be a half hour for a bagel when I am ordering and I would just have gotten my coffee. Cool name of the place, and the coffee was out fast and good. Very cool interior decoration. Just need to get a better flow for their food orders. They have the coffee part down.

Coffee wasn’t good. Got the cold brew and it just was not drinkable. Threw it out after a few sips, which sucks because it wasn’t cheap. Also, the food menu isn’t super readable. It’s confusing and doesn’t have many quick and easy options to grab and go.

Quaint coffee shop on Elmwood and Bryant. Reminded me of another Cafe that started in similar fashion twenty years ago. They offered me a lot of vegetarian options for my breakfast sandwich. (GF too) Cold brew coffee was good. Bagel and egg were good. Service was helpful. I will visit again when I'm in the area looking for cold brew coffee.
