I've been in…read morethis store on and off over the years however in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic I am trying to shop local and support small businesses that have remained open due to being essential. Blue Mountain is a mix of gift shop filled with various items such as mugs, candies, cards, biscotti, cigars, chocolates and more in addition to coffee and tea shop. At Blue Mountain you are able to purchase coffee beans, whole or they will grind them in addition to tea, either bagged or loose leaf tea. Since my trip to Last Vegas in August 2019 I have had my eye on an espresso brewer, feverishly looking at it online and in-person at a major retailer that isn't in our area so when I was walking my dogs by the store and saw the brewer in the window I was delighted. The brewer I had in mind is a percolator and they have a variety of serving sizes available. My current one is 6 cups however I may get a smaller one so I am bringing down my coffee intake. Another benefit of coming here is the ability to get a hot or iced coffee and as mentioned in other reviews the ice cubes are made of coffee also so you don't have to worry about your drink watering down. And if you are a decaf drinker like I currently am, they have decad iced coffee! (Very rare). If you are a coffee aficionado or a wannabe I highly recommend stopping in this small shop.

There are a lot of choices in coffee beans and loose teas, so I like to pick a variety. There's even a pretty good selection for people who just drink decaf, which is rarely the case elsewhere. They also have mugs, cards, cookies and chocolate if you're looking for more add-ons for a gift. The staff is friendly, and will make recommendations if you ask. For pre-packaged teas, there is a higher mark-up than if you're lucky enough to find the same brand and flavor at the grocery store, but I like to support small businesses in my neighborhood when I can--and sometimes I'm just lazy and don't want to schelp to a big store. Glad to have this shop in Elmwood Village!

She also told me the owners had several orange cats at the time of opening, hence the name. I ordered a delicious Arnold Palmer. The ambiance very cozy. I was surprised by how large the cafe was. They had several rooms to choose from. The outside seating area offered lots of seating and was just perfect for an afternoon drink. Such a lovely spot!

This is a fairly small shop that sells a variety of coffee beans (approximately 40 or so by my best…read moreguess) that they roast in house. They offer fast, informative (if you have questions) & friendly service. One can buy whole bean or ground and can make their own mix; for example, I know some who buys a french roast half caffeinated, half decaf. K-cups are also available. This was my first trip here and I was on the hunt for espresso. They have an espresso bean imported from Italy. The whole beans were weighed and ground to use in an electric espresso machine lickety-split. I have used it and it is yummy! I found out they also offer a rewards program; once you buy 10#, you get a pound free! They have limited hours, so make sure you check they're open before you head out. I also saw you can order online.

It's a welcome reprieve from the busier main street, yet still close enough to everything. Perfect for escaping the crowds and settling in to people-watch with a good cup of local Canadian coffee and a pastry. They offer hot and cold coffees, along with both gluten-free and regular pastries. They also stock everything you'd need to make your coffee at home, which is a nice touch if you want to bring a little piece of Niagara-on-the-Lake back with you. A solid spot for a quiet break during a busy day of exploring.

On my visit, I ordered a 16oz cold brew with a splash of pistachio milk, a splash of almond milk and cocoa powder, which was delicious for $4.32. I wish they were located closer to where I live, but at least they are close to my parent's house :) In addition to coffee drinks, they gave tea, cocoa, chagaccino, snacks, baked goods and some merch. I recommend you stop in and check them out!

Seven Hearts Coffee in Buffalo was exactly the cozy little gem I was hoping to find…read more Nestled inside a charming old building right next to a bookstore (which you absolutely should pop into while you're there), this spot had the perfect vibe from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and effortlessly cool, the kind of place that makes you want to linger for hours with a good book and a great cup of coffee. My fiancé and I each ordered one of their specialty coffees along with bagels, and everything was fantastic. After a less than stellar experience at Tim Hortons earlier in the trip, Seven Hearts completely redeemed our coffee expectations. It was exactly the aesthetic and experience I had been searching for. What really made it special was how quickly it felt like a place I could make part of my routine. If I lived in Buffalo, this would absolutely be my go to coffee shop. Before leaving, I picked up a couple of honey sticks and a bottle of their house made lavender syrup to bring home. Now I get to enjoy a little taste of Seven Hearts, and Buffalo, with my morning coffee for a few more days.

Stopped in here to kill time before an appointment after seeing the high ratings, but unfortunately…read morethe experience didn't live up to them. Most of my rating is based on the service. Upon entering, no one greeted me, and I felt rushed while looking over the menu. When I asked questions, it felt like I was inconveniencing the employee rather than being helped. I ordered the blueberry lemon bar matcha and hoped the drink would redeem the experience, but it was disappointing. The flavor combination didn't work well in a matcha drink, and it left a strange aftertaste/coating in my mouth. I also specifically requested no dairy (asked for oat milk) yet it still came topped with cold foam, which upset my stomach. It looked cute, but for nearly $9, it wasn't enjoyable. I had originally planned to order food as well, but the overall atmosphere and interaction felt so uncomfortable that I decided to just take my drink and leave.

I know I will be returning for another pistachio latte.

They opened this little stall inside the West Side Bazaar with the money that they saved by not giving any to my cousin. Their coffee is excellent, it's quite strong. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but it tasted pretty special. Both Julie and my mother (who tried this on separate occasions, twice in the former case) said it's some of the best they've had in town. It tastes homemade and extremely rich and exotic. It's served by lovely people who make you feel special, so coming here for coffee will be a real treat for coffee lovers. It's only a real shame that it has been reviewed by 1 Californian, 1 English transplant, and 0 Buffalonians, despite having been here for years.
