It's a cute place but when we went after dark I was glad to be with my husband because of the area it's in. The banana pudding was still very good. I do wish there was a little less of the cookies and more pudding, but overall very good. I thought it was better the next day. I will definitely come back and try their other options!

They've got loads of yummy desserts to try. The parking lot is a war zone with cars all over the place flying in and out so be mindful of that but it's worth the shrapnel for the yummy flavors. We were thrilled to visit and the staff were so nice and friendly. Prices were good and we met the owner of this woman run business and talked with her about the business and it's progress which was really cool. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return!

We could not tell the difference in taste between them, all you taste is "sweet", despite customizing it with way less sugar. If you're wanting a latte that tastes even remotely like coffee, I do not recommend. If you want a glorified milkshake, this might be your spot.

The space itself is nice too, with plenty of room to sit and eat. It doesn't give "takeout only" vibes, which I appreciate. There's a kiosk where you can place your order, but I personally prefer interacting with the staff. They were friendly and helpful. The Korean chicken had the perfect crunch on the outside while still staying juicy on the inside. I loved that they offered kimchi fried rice as an option instead of the usual pork. The flavor was amazing and the kimchi rice paired perfectly with the chicken. I also got a lemonade with strawberry bursting boba (not pictured), and it was exactly what I needed. I love that they let you choose your sweetness level because I'm picky with how sweet my drinks are. 10/10.

It is more of a takeout situation than dine in as there are only 4 seats along the window looking into the cat habitat. They offer a variety of coffee, tea & boba drinks as well as baked goods and some merch. I ordered an unsweet Dan cong hot tea latte and egg tarts and my friend got a brown sugar boba tea and biscoff cake. I like that you can customize the sweetness of any beverage from no sweetness to very sweet since everyone likes a different cup of tea so to speak. The baked goods case was very limited when we visited (around 2pm on a Saturday), but we both liked our picks. The egg tarts came in a pack of 4 packaged in a sturdy wooden box (so sturdy I'm reusing it now to hold spice jars) for $10. The tarts were a slightly sweet custard like egg filling in a crispy, flaky phyllo type shell. Very yummy! My tea was also really good; a nice balance between the tea & milk. My friend's cake was light, airy and spongy. So delicious! She was kind enough to let me taste it and I loved it even though I'm not a huge cake person. She also thought it was fantastic. She enjoyed her bubble tea as well. It came in a thick plastic cup with a snap on cover for the straw hole, so it too could easily be reused. I would definitely visit again to try other drinks and hopefully hit the baked goods case when it's full! The service was friendly and efficient.

My husband got a cookie monster and loved it too btw. But I got The Samoan... Let me preface this critique by saying that I love coconut, real shredded coconut; toasted coconut; coconut chunks, anything coconut flavored; German chocolate cake is my favorite, etc. Churn was out of vegan coconut soft serve this night too which was sad so I had vanilla. I don't think that would have mattered though because the problem with The Samoan is the texture you get when you mix both toasted coconut and cacao nibs into ice cream. At first the texture was kind of an interesting experience and also kind of funny and then it became less and less amusing as I ate more of it. If you like eating literal mulch that tastes quite lovely get the Samoan. If not try something else.

10/10 Experience at Tea Leaf Cafe!…read more Tea Leaf Cafe in Buffalo is easily one of my favorite spots in the city. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is cozy, clean, and welcoming. It's the perfect place to relax, hang out with friends, or just enjoy some quiet time. The drinks are AMAZING. Whether you're getting classic milk tea, fruit tea, or something more unique, everything tastes super fresh and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, just right. The boba texture is always on point too. You can tell they really care about quality. The staff is friendly, patient, and fast with orders, even when it's busy. They make you feel appreciated as a customer. If you're in Buffalo and love bubble tea (or even if you're trying it for the first time), I 100% recommend Tea Leaf Cafe. Definitely a 10/10 -- I'll keep coming back!

I've never come here because their cinnamon rolls are so large, my roommate shares with me and my sweet tooth is satisfied. Recently, I went in to pick up someone else's order.

I'm not sure if it were the owner working, but whoever the lady was she was incredibly kind and upbeat; she even let me try a ham and cheese roll up croissant that was coming soon to the menu. I ate it on the go. It didn't make a mess at all and it was very good! It had something sweet to it so it wasn't dry, with I think some poppyseeds. It was a really nice blend of flavors and textures.
