Heading into Hamburg today so I checked the Too Good To Go app and got the last bag from here for $4.99. I've never been here before even though I've passed it many times. Headed to the counter and showed the app, they said have a seat we'll get your bag ready. The place is cute inside kinda homey with little kiosk with stuff for sale. She brought my bag over and had a cup for coffee. She let me to the coffee station & I had the coffee of the day. I normally don't drink flavored coffee but it was real good, a nutty and creamy flavor combined. My bag had a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup and slice of blueberry crumble pie. The table by me had sandwiches that looked good, will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in after my haircut at cortos since they share the same parking lot. I frequent this place regularly I just haven't gotten a chance to post a review yet. For those who have never been, there's two entry points; the front (from the street), is wheelchair friendly, while the back (from the parking lot) has some stairs. There are two single bathrooms available in this place. If you're dining in, you can order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. Regardless you need to order at the counter anyway. They always have a great selection of baked goods and coffee, plus specialty drinks on rotation. They offer light breakfast and lunch if you don't want just a coffee and pastry. They sell gifts and ground/bean coffee along with flavored syrups. For this particular trip, I ventured in to get lavender syrup (Torani). I treated myself to a specialty rotating drink (Hansel and Gretel frozen coffee - frozen coffee with gingerbread and white chocolate). I also purchased a blueberry muffin and a pumpkin cream cheese muffin (also a rotation dessert specialty). All were excellent, as par for course here. I don't hear at all but speak well, so the kind lady at the front grabbed a pad and writing utensil to communicate with me, which was very helpful and so we both were on the same page. It was very appreciated. Another reason I love this place, they're so accommodating read more

The service was great you order at the counter then they bring it out to your table. The server was kind and food/drink came out quick. I really enjoyed my food and drink. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone for breakfast or lunch. The seating area is very cute and plenty to look at. I liked sitting near the window to watch outside. I will be back. read more

I finally stopped in here recently because I picked up an order from the too good to go app and I will definitely be back to try the regular menu. It is so cute inside and now I understand why it's a hamburg staple. The employees are always really friendly too and it just feels like a very homey atmosphere. read more

Great breakfast and lunch spot! The CZ indulgence salad is my favorite quick lunch but Brie-berry melt is a close second. The chai oatmeal is my go to for breakfast, but they have lots of yummy options and healthy choices. read more

Small cute place with great breakfast. They have lunch and dinner as well, but we've only been for breakfast. If you are in a rush, I might pick somewhere else, but we love to sit and read while waiting for our food. They also have a ton of things for sale around the restaurant. read more

I'll start by saying any business that requests a tip when ordering at the counter & prior to the service they better be on their game. Waiting 30 minutes for 2 paninis is not acceptable. At least the person dropping the food off could apologize for the wait. Food was average and not on par with the cost. Industry needs to understand tips are for good service not taking An order. read more

Right now I'm sitting in Comfort Zone and sipping a Pumpkin Latte at the butt end of PSL season, and all I can say is I'm super grateful for the opportunity to enjoy one of my favorite flavor drinks when it's "out of season". Oh, and it is pretty freaking delicious. This is a cute little cafe in the heart of the village of Hamburg! Locally owned and lovely. When you visit you should expect to find a big menu of available drinks, food, and desserts. This shop has a big variety of things on the menu, and I really like this because it basically gives you a big freedom to really customize whatever you want to drink or eat. The drinks here are good, of course depending on what you order. Food wise I really like how you can literally put whatever you want on their breakfast sandwiches, though I only wish they were made a little bit bigger, as they usually put them on an English Muffin. Gimme a bagel please!! However they truly redeem themselves with lunch options; as I slam down this panini of the day (Bacon and cheese with some kind of spicy apple jelly) I've grown very fond of this spot. Paninis always come with an additional side (soup, salad, or chips) so it's definitely worth it to try one! Every time I've come here, the staff is always super fun and friendly! They don't have a very large staff, and often times you're likely to experience a wait when you're here - but in a post-pandemic world, this is easily expected. Be kind and patient, they're really doing their best here. The decor really isn't my style, but I'm all for supporting local. As long as there's food and a PSL to be consumed, I'll pay a visit to Comfort Zone Cafe. read more

Charming local coffee shop, restaurant and gift shop located in the village of Hamburg, open since 1997. Comfort zone is just that, a place to come for delicious coffee, tea and comfort food. I met a friend for lunch and was delighted. In the past I have come through here quickly just for a coffee or tea. I ordered the grilled cheese with Brie, raspberry and walnuts which came with a side salad. My sandwich was huge, delicious and something different. The Brie was perfectly melted, the raspberry jam was a sweet contrast to the cheese and the walnuts were soft and added some texture to the sandwich. The side salad was pretty large and the home made dressing options offered something for every palette. My friend ordered the sun-sation salad with smoked salmon. It was a generous portion with fresh ingredients and she was very happy with her choice. Other menu items include soups, wraps, paninis, desserts, pastries and Paula's donuts. I have enjoyed their coffees and teas in the past. Tons of options for every diet and taste. In addition to the food and coffee they offer a soup club, home made popsicles and adorable and unique gifts. I was in need of birthday gift and was easily able to find something here after I finished my lunch. Sign up for their digital rewards card and earn credit for shopping. I checked in and also was awarded $1 off a $10 purchase. Quick and helpful service. Indoor and outdoor seating available. They have a gluten free and gluten sensitive menu available complete with the option of gluten free bread. read more

Very cute little place for coffee and a breakfast snack. It's nothing to out of the ordinary for these locations but the food was good and so where the drinks. I always love when a place does a pancake or waffle sandwich! Nice little local business! read more

Truly a comfort zone. It is a nice book to get work done while having a coffee or tea and some small bites.

What a gem in the middle of Hamburg. The restaurant is very cute and has little gifts for sale. You order at the counter and they bring you your food at your table. The menu has nice options and not your typical choices. I had a quiche and my husband had a wrap. Both came with a delicious tropical fruit salad. The soups here are awesome as well. There is also a lot of coffees offered. Very friendly and efficient service and will definitely go back! read more

Comfort Zone is a Hamburg staple! I love bringing my kiddos here for a quick bite. All of the breakfast sandwiches are amazing. My favorite is the Zippity-Doo-Da which has banana peppers and pepper jack on it. A little bit of heat but not too overwhelming! There's something for everyone, even the kids. Not to mention, it's a great little gift shop. Be sure to stop here when shopping in the village! Oh! The service is amazing too. read more

The food and drinks are super subpar and lackluster. The staff could care less if you were there or not and it is a pretty dark atmosphere, very dated decore it makes you feel like you are in a house from the 50's in a bad way. Save yourself the money and time by avoiding this cafe. read more

Went on my first date with my current partner of 2 years & have loved it ever since. From the brie walnut preserves melt to the quiche to the amazing soups & baked goods, there's something for everyone's personal taste. One of my favorites for a hot day is a Lake Effect, kind of like and iced capp but waaay better. It's smooth & refreshing and they have so many different flavors to choose from. I will always love it here and it's a must whenever friends or family come to town and want to see the village! Last but not least, the selection of trinkets and games and books and jewelry is so fun to look at and I've definitely gotten a few things for myself over the past 2 years, it's just too good to pass up! Here's some of my favorite finds from a few weeks ago. They are always changing it up and there's so much more inside. read more

I visit this restaurant regularly. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. The food is delicious. Also love their coffee!!

Comfort Zone always has a great selection of drinks! This is the only place I know nearby that has Italian soda! They also make amazing soup, so if you're a soup fan like me I highly recommend coming here to try some. The atmosphere is cozy, and sometimes if you're lucky you can sit by the windows as the sun comes in. It's worth the trip, and if you're weighing your options for coffee in Hamburg between Spot and Comfort Zone - I always recommend Comfort Zone. read more

Eh. Comfort Zone was just okay. The décor is nice, it's a combination of a small café and a gift shop. A lot of the items they sell are pretty cool... things you wouldn't typically find in a large department store. The desserts at the café look absolutely amazing. They have what looks like home-made pies and cakes...though they aren't advertised as home-made so maybe they are just store bought and made to look good. I've only been here for breakfast so far...so I can only comment on that food... it was very...blah. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with egg, avocado, pepper jack cheese and some kind of sauce, I also ordered the brie berry sandwich and my husband got a sandwich with eggs and banana peppers. I can't even explain how underwhelmed we were. The sandwiches looked nothing like the pictures, they were served on English muffins (ew), and they didn't even use fresh eggs...they used what Tim Horton's uses...almost like "Egg patties". For $5 per sandwich, I expected something a little better than what I could have gotten at Tim Hortons. If you want a great breakfast, spend the money and go to Spot across the street. WAY better food. read more

Nice little place to go for brunch. The broccoli soup was pretty good and the salad was decent. I got the pizza panini for my main meal and it definitely filled me up. The flavor was just right. The pastries were awesome. Give this place a shot! Parking wasn't so bad. Big lots around the whole area and street parking as well. read more

Comfort Zone Cafe - a plate of salad and a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hamburg, New York

Comfort Zone is a cute little cafe in the village of Hamburg. They always have one vegetarian soup on special that day (though it isn't always vegan). In the colder months they usually have a seasonal boat of stuffed squash/zucchini. I've ordered it a few times and it's always delicious. One time it was an acorn squash with a lentil-based filing. Another time it was zucchini with a veggie & bean filling. They offer a lot of fun, seasonal drinks. My favourite is the autumn iced-tea. It's sweet and lightly spiced (think pumpkin pie spice). In the winter they have nog lattes on the menu but I've never had one. There is only one vegetarian panini I believe- the veggie delight. They will sub hummus in for the cheese which is delicious (I recommend it this way!). The staff is always very helpful in accommodating vegan and GF diets. Just ask! read more

super cute ambiance. definitely a place i go when i hang out in hamburg. i always get a chai latte and the service is so nice!

I really enjoyed venturing out here. It's a really cozy cafe right in the center of the Village of Hamburg, across from a Salon and not too far away from August Bistro. You order up at the counter and they bring out your order to you. There are three boards with menus, which is a little confusing at first, but the one directly over the counter is the drink menu, the computerized menu to the right is the food menu and the whiteboard below are the handwritten specials, soups, etc for the day. I ordered a cafe au lait and a quiche (which came with a soup). The soup was a beef onion soup, which was delicious! It was a really comforting broth with bits of ground beef, noodles and onions. Just what I needed on this cold, dreary day. The cafe au lait was eh alright, but not even half as strong as I would have liked it (but luckily it wasn't too sweet). The quiche was delicious! It was piled with salsa and melted cheddar on top. Delicious, fluffy and fresh and a very nice portion served with a fruit peel and a little dessert sample. Delectable! This is a very comfortable place to work as well with reliable wifi. Definitely a super cute place to come and hang out, catch up with a friend or do some work! read more

Comfort Zone Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hamburg, New York

A friend has been wanting to take me here for a while for a girls lunch. What a cute place! Located right in the center of the cute village of Hamburg, adjacent to plenty of free public parking. You can get lite bites, lunch, or coffee and pastry ( the apple dumplings looked like grandmas!) there were 2 selections of soup : a kale and sweet potato and chicken enchilada . My friend and I shared a grilled cheese ( many selections). We chose the Brie, walnut and raspberry jam. Yum. Creamy, sweet, but not too, gooey. On delicious grain bread cooked like a panini. Choice of side was soup or salad ( basic green with a nice balsamic) the portions were huge 4 pieces ! Good value for 12.75. We each had a latte which was served in a tall glass Mug - think Irish coffee. You order at the counter , look around the little store , and before you know it, they bring your order out to you. Friendly service very cute and comfy atmosphere. I would definitely go back read more

Holy expensive. I want to start out by saying, I understand that food costs have gone up and I don't mind paying the money for food as long as the quality is there. My husband and I got a sandwich and a wrap, a coffee and bottle of water our total came to $47. Again, I wasn't thrilled paying that amount. But I figured the portions and the quality will make up for it. I was wrong. My wrap was small, his sandwich had a piece one piece of ham, Turkey, cheese and pepperoni on it. For $15 per sandwich I was less than thrilled. I love supporting local business but I can't justify going back here. We went to dinner later that night and we spent $54 and the quality and quantity of food was great! We were stuffed. We were starving about an hour after we had lunch here. I wish I'd say I'd go back but I can't, it's not worth it. I also saw a latte was listed for $8.99, a latte at Starbucks isn't even $8.99. read more

A local, woman owned business that is always a great go to spot. The people working there are always lovely. They have great options and have seasonal drinks and fare as well. You can also pick up small gifts and little trinkets there as well. Highly recommend. read more

LOVE Comfort Zone! The grilled cheese paninis are so good, as are the coffees, desserts, and pretty much everything else we've tried. They also have a selection of books and other gifts, mostly local and quirky things you can't really find anywhere else. I love that they are open pretty much all day so you can come for morning coffee, lunch, or after-dinner dessert. read more

I really enjoy it here. They have plenty of room to accommodate all customers and even when they're busy, it's a nice quiet place to have a meal. All of the staff is super friendly and helpful. I usually stop in for lunch when I'm in the area. I go with the soup & salad combo. The salad is a standard house salad with a couple of veggies thrown in. Their house poppy seed dressing is the absolute best and I can't seem to deviate from it. Every soup I have ever tried (they cycle frequently) has been absolutely divine. My absolute favorite was Beef on Weck, but not sure how often it's on the menu. If it's there, get it! read more

I hoofed it out to Hamburg thanks to a kind invite from Comfort Zoner (and yelper) Zenia B, and am so glad I did. This cozy cafe has a lot going on, from the gluten-free menu (available upon request) to their award-winning Beef on Weck soup (flecked, of course, with caraway seeds). This Hamburg landmark is truly a family-owned business, as mom works the kitchen, daughter runs the counter (and social media presence), and dad stands proudly nearby, keeping an eye on their "guard dog," a tiny puppy who loves to be petted by passerby. After the Comfort Zone's tasty treats reeled me in, I went on to find a handful of other great reasons to visit Hamburg. The cool winemaking classes at Ten Thousand Vines, the tart yogurt at Main Street Ice Cream, and the overall picturesque and relaxing vibe of Hamburg's Main Street ... all are great reasons to make this a fun day (or evening) trip if you don't live in the area. But that Beef on Weck? That's reason enough to visit Hamburg. If you haven't yet - GO. read more

I don't make it out to this area very often, but I'm glad I did today. What a sweet cafe! I had a cookie, an ice coffee, and a hot a coffee. (Little bit of a caffeine freak here). The tastes of everything are amazing. The atmosphere is delightful and relaxing. My friend just took my kids Pokehunting. I'm sitting here, listening to classic music, sipping my coffee, relaxing and reading. Pretty sure this might be what heaven is like. The woman working the counter and waitressing is pleasant and welcoming. The cafe and bathrooms are exceptionally clean. Yes; I'm giving it 5 stars. Totally deserved. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll certainly come back. I don't think I'll make a 30 min drive just for this, though. read more

Comfort Zone Cafe - Perfect Sunday relaxing - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hamburg, New York

We had a bad experience this past afternoon at the Comfort Zone. The server knocked a full glass of ice water on my elderly mother's lap. We did not know it but Mom told us afterwards that although several paper towels were brought to dry her lap, she was sitting in cold water for her entire lunch. She is disabled and could not stand up. The server than knocked my sister's ice coffee. Accidents happen but when my sister went to the coffee station right after the spill the three employees were behind the counter laughing about what had happened to my mom. They did not offer to comp mom's lunch or offer her a free desert or anything as compensation for shocking my mom with ice cold water. We are very disappointed in this unprofessional and uncaring staff. read more

We love walking here on the weekends to get breakfast sandwiches and coffee. This weekend I tried the captain jack which had eggs, bacon, pepper jack cheese and avocado. Delish! I choose to have it in a spinach wrap and the wrap was delightfully fresh and super soft. I've also had the sunrise option in a spinach wrap and it too was a winner. My boyfriend can't get past the meat lovers sandwich, so it obviously must be good. We prefer the coffee here to that of Spot down the street. The staff is very friendly which makes us keep coming back! read more

Amazing mocha lake effect. Good rich mocha favor! I love that they spotlight local artists with selling products for them! Mushroom medley sandwich was alright! Nice and quiet environment!

My husband and I were looking for a place to have lunch with his parents after a Sunday tour of Graycliff that would have gluten-free options for my mother-in-law, and found this cafe on Yelp. When we arrived and my mother-in-law asked about a gluten-free menu, we were impressed that the menu differentiated between items safe for people who are more strict about avoiding gluten (like celiacs), versus items that would be OK for people who aren't allergic but just choose to eat gluten-free. Most restaurants don't make that distinction. My mother-in-law went with a turkey club panini. It took the kitchen much longer for her food to arrive, compared to the quiche and salad I got, and my husband's stuffed squash and salad, but she would rather wait longer for her food than have it potentially get contaminated by gluten-y foods. My quiche was light and fluffy, but personally I prefer quiches with crust, which this one didn't have. After seeing my mother-in-law's good-looking panini, I think I should have gone with one of those, on regular bread. (I never usually envy her gluten-free food.) But the tiny wedge of cantaloupe and square of cake that came with my order was a nice touch. The ambiance of the cafe is very cozy, and they have some nice Buffalo-themed shirts and other trinkets, in case you need to pick up a small gift. Had I gone with a panini, I imagine I'd be giving a higher rating. And if you're gluten-free and looking for a light meal in the Southtowns, I'd definitely recommend this cafe. read more

This is good coffee and that's about all. I am not a fan of their sandwiches the kitchen isn't appetizing it's a shower curtain over a closet with a George Foreman grill and a microwave. However this is a place to get some great Buffalo themed chotchkies. read more

Drinks: yes. Service: sure. Food: just don't. To explain, my brother and I went here because they advertised soups but they didn't have any ones we were interested in that day. I ordered a quiche that... Wasn't a quiche (and didn't taste good to boot) and my brother said his Chipotle chicken sandwich was cold, soggy, and on the edge of being undercooked. He used stronger language than that I love supporting local places like this, but unless I'm only in the mood for a quick tea, I won't be back. read more

Hidden gem in the heart of the village of Hamburg, NY. I have been here several times now and always leave happy. It's a nice home style atmosphere but the inside could use maybe a little update. I've had a bacon egg and cheese on a muffin for breakfast and a few iced coffees. The breakfast sandwich was delicious because it was fresh and made to order. The iced coffee's ice cubes were made out of coffee which is a nice touch in any iced coffee. Convenient parking in the back is a huge plus as well. Can't wait to keep going back to try some other items off the menu. I remember it being reasonable as far as the price goes too. read more

Comfort zone is an absolute icon in Hamburg NY. I have been coming to the Comfort Zone Cafe for 10 years -- from going for dessert and inspiration for writing when I was In school, to a quiet place to read a book , coffee date, tea date, friendship reunions, and even business meetings...CZ cafe has been a staple for me and my peers. My go-to favorite is the cinnamon tea served in tea pot/cup combo. The very delivery of my tea creates peace and a sense of escape from the hustle and bustle!! Along with the many positive things about CZ cafe, there are items for sale by local artisans!!!! Locals supporting locals is a fundamental part of community! Love this place! Highly recommend it! read more

It's been a couple years since my original review so it's time for an update. Still absolutely worthy of 5 stars. There is now a Spot Coffee across the street and I really hope it isn't hurting business. Why anyone would choose Spot over Comfort Zone is beyond me. The food at Comfort Zone is amazing, as are the drinks (try the vanilla chai latte! wow). Even considering these great attributes, I would still say the best thing about Comfort Zone is the service. So incredibly friendly and welcoming, like you're walking into an old friend's home. They go out of their way to take care of you, delivering your food to your table after your order at the counter, adding little touches to your meal (including a little bite of a dessert - what a great way to end the meal). If I lived closer I would be here all the time. read more
