Wonderful local coffee shop/ bakery/ cafe and outdoor gear boutique in the heart of Ellicottville…read more A unique and cool concept to get a few errands checked off at once. Strong, fresh and delicious coffee and espresso based drinks available. Scones made here on site, with gluten free varieties available. Review from my significant other: Scones aren't dry, almost cake like yet still a scone. There is also a nice assortment of outdoor gear in case you need something for your outdoor adventure. Also fun to browse while you wait for your coffee. Lots of cool gift ideas for both coffee lovers and outdoor adventure enthusiasts. You can tell you are in a ski town when you visit. There are some old chairlifts here used for both decoration and seating. They make an adorable photo opp as well! There is some additional cafe style seating in the front as well. They roast and serve their own coffee in house. They roast beans in small batches, you can also buy beans to enjoy in your own home. Friendly and helpful staff. Alternative milks available for non dairy drinking customers.

Such a cute coffee shop and dog friendly. Very spacious. Great breakfast food as well.read more

I must have written that review way before I gave myself enough time to decide if I liked the socks or not, but here I am 4 years later and I now EXCLUSIVELY WEAR DARN TOUGH SOCKS. Thank you, Aurora Outfitters, for turning me onto these wonderful socks. Also thank you, past tense me for clairvoyantly deciding to purchase said socks and change my life forever. But most of all, thank you, present me for having the courage to admit I was wrong and seek amends. (And an honorable mention also to Hannah K. for reminding me just how much of an oaf I really am)

I read that review about those "Darn Tough" socks and since I've slowly been collecting warm socks…read morefrom outdoor stores this winter as a 'hobby', I decided to visit Aurora Outfitters at last!! I've been itching to check out this store, and I'm really not sure why I never ventured in here sooner. Maybe it just wasn't the right time. This past year my urge to hike has kicked into overdrive and lately I've been all about outdoor activities - so going in here not only cured some boredom, but got me excited for the warmer months and getting back out on the trails. The shop shares a building with another business. Once you go up the steps and into the building, the shop is straight back (and pretty hard to miss with the signs!) This shop is pretty large, with everything and anything to fill your outdoor needs. Tons of apparel with popular outdoor brands like Carhartt, hiking boots, and other useful gear for camping and hiking. You can get snow shoes and chains here for your winter hikes, and there's even some gear for your dog! I only came in here for the socks but I also left with these cool fake "skipping stone" dog toys, and a double sided spoon/fork. Total score! Looking forward to returning in the summer to fulfill more of my hiking needs. P.S. I love my socks. They're stylish and keep my feet warm!

This summer they have invested a ton of hours moving to a larger location right at the main intersection in the middle of town. The new shop is fresh and edgy, with a separate entrance off Main Street to pick and drop off rentals. You'll run across Pat, Shad and a host of others who have worked at the shop for many seasons, and are certified boot fit experts, as well as knowledgeable in a plethora of many other areas of ski gear fit. The ski/board industry has exploded with so many fresh colors and new technologies with gear, apparel and accessories. Mud, Sweat N Gears hosts a nice selection that you will not find in any of the big box stores around WNY. Black pants are soooo 1990. Spruce up your look, get rid of those ancient rear entry boots and go with the bright green helmet. Plenty of cool threads for the sit-around-the-ski-bar folks too :)
