There are not enough stars possible for the amazing cookie dough cinnamon roll I had here!!!…read more I've been on a huge cinnamon roll kick lately, and I've been trying any ones that use real vanilla icing (ain't nobody got time for that cream cheese icing monstrosity, lol) that I can get my hand on. This amazing place is located at the end of a large strip center that also houses an Aldi and Mighty Taco. The all glass windows and doors give it plenty of light and very open feel - something that we haven't seen much in this area with the beautiful intricate architecture (to us Floridians anyway, lol). The first day we went it was fairly empty and they were nearing closing time. Despite this, the lady who helped us was friendly and informative. She explained they make regular cinnamon rolls and pastries but also have a specialty roll of the week, which was cookie dough this week. They were out of almost everything except some of the day old rolls - which included a cookie dough one. Where we live, specialty cinnamon rolls are filled with the typical cinnamon and just topped with specialty stuff, so I assumed I would get the cookie dough one and try both their cookie crumbles and their traditional cinnamon roll in one. Boy was I wrong. Having bought far too many desserts in the last few days of this visit, I put the cookie dough roll to the side a few days, but when I tried it - OMG!! The center of the roll is COOKIE DOUGH AND NOT CINNAMON. When I tell you this is one of the best desserts and food inventions I have ever seen, I MEAN IT!! Nevermind the crookie or cookie dough croissant craze, these people have created heaven in a dessert. Needless to say, I had to go back again today for another, as they close on Mondays and change their flavors on Tuesdays. A different person was there, but she was just as helpful. And they had just one last cookie dough roll, which of course I had to get. If you ever get the absolutely divine timing that I did and find yourself in the Hamburg, Buffalo, or Amherst (I know of these locations specifically, there may be others too), and they are running the cookie dough rolls, you HAVE TO try them!

It's been a while since I grabbed a treat from Kaylena Marie's. I'm glad to say they're as…read moredelicious today as they were the last time I stopped in, even after the various changes they've had! On a Saturday, around 11:45am, I arrived at the Hamburg bakery, the newest location of the small franchise. There was plenty of parking in the HUGE parking lot as the bakery is next to an ALDI. I walked into a large space with plenty of tables and a bar along the window with stools, reminiscent of Orchard Park's seating setup - It felt warm and inviting, plenty spacious, very easy to converse with others. It was great seeing quite a few tables filled with people sipping on coffee, pastries, sandwiches, etc.! They do have a pretty large menu of breakfast items and sandwiches along with plenty of drinks, which are listed on their menu located at the counter. Walking toward their case of goodies, I was a little surprised at the limited selection, albeit they were definitely the more popular treats. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly, fun to talk to as I placed my order. All in all, a great ordering experience and a spot I wouldn't mind sitting down and having breakfast in. So what did I order? Fall 2025, Kaylena Marie's re-introduced their "Specialty Rolls" with the big change being the size being "mini" compared to their normal cinnamon roll, which is HUGE. I'll be honest, I was a concerned the "mini" would be a tad too small, but, after ordering two, I say they are perfectly sized. For the week of 11/03/2025-11/09/2025, the Hamburg bakery's "Specialty Mini Roll" flavor was cookies and cream, dubbed the "Mini Oreo Roll", which is Kaylena Marie's roll swirled with crushed Oreo cookies, chocolate, and creamy filling then topped with more Oreo cookies and glaze. I ordered two, one for Saturday and one for Sunday. :) When the "Specialty Rolls" were giant (i.e. Kaylena's 'normal' size), this was my favorite flavor, so I was really happy when the first forkful brought me right back! The roll was as soft as I remember and the creamy inside with chocolate and Oreo cookie swirled in was excellent. The "mini" size was perfect, albeit I did have a little ice cream with it. :) But truth be told, the "mini" is the proper size for these specialty flavors. Also, stick it in the microwave for 20-25 seconds, thank me later! As for the price, in 2025, this was nicely priced, certainly not as pricey as I expected, which was another treat. Kaylena Marie's of Hamburg is an inviting bakery/café! The staff working are courteous and friendly and the treats are on-brand with the original idea of Kaylena Marie's. I will certainly be back for another batch of "Specialty Mini-Rolls" or perhaps a 'Normal' (aka GIANT) cinnamon roll for old time's sake. haha

The Beyti kebab was well-seasoned and cooked properly, with a satisfying richness from the meat and…read moresauce, though it leaned heavier than expected by the end of the plate. The manti stood out more for its comfort than complexity, tender dumplings, yogurt, and a clean garlic-forward profile that felt authentic, even if slightly muted on spice. The ribeye steak medallions were cooked accurately and had good texture, but they were less memorable compared to the rest of the menu. In contrast, the mixed grill platter was the strongest showing of the night, offering variety and consistent execution across different meats, which is not easy to do well. Everything was flavorful without feeling overworked. The mixed meat pide was satisfying and hearty, though on the richer side. It's filling and best approached as a shared dish rather than an add-on. Turkish tea was straightforward and comforting, doing exactly what it should after a heavy meal. Overall, Sofra delivers a traditional, well-executed Turkish dinner with generous portions and a focus on consistency rather than reinvention. Best enjoyed family-style, pacing the meal thoughtfully to fully appreciate the depth of the menu without fatigue.

Suenos de Azucar Bakery is a fairly new family-owned and operated bakery that is located in…read moredowntown Buffalo. It is a Puerto Rican style bakery that embraces that authentic Puerto Rican culture through its food, space, and interactions with the staff. I LOVE this place. I came during Valentine's Day weekend and the vibes were everything! It's a super cute space with warm and welcoming colors and decor. The space had Valentine's decor that instantly made you feel like love was in the air. It's a small space but from anywhere you're seated there is an adorable photo opp. I especially loved the memorandum wall honoring a relative whose love of baking inspired this place. I ordered avena (which is oatmeal) with cinnamon, coffee, and a croissant sandwich that had egg, cheese and ham (very customizable). I devoured most of my food before remembering to take pics lol but I promise it's worth every penny and was very flavorful and delicious. The prices are great and everything is made with love. I thought it was so thoughtful that each cup of coffee had "Happy Valentine's Day" handwritten on the lids, so sweet and kind and really made my day. The staff are very kind and friendly and there is English translation next to anything that is written in Spanish. I was working remotely so I was able to do work on my laptop and enjoy a wonderful breakfast. While dining, I saw many people stopping in for to-go orders and others sitting and eating with their partners or children. They have a menu posted on the wall as soon as you enter as well as menus by the cashier. They offer breakfast, lunch, a variety of beverages, lots of beautiful pastries and desserts and also offer party trays. I could not help myself and had to grab a couple of pastries to go on my way out. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend.

I opted for the Nutella crepe which came with strawberry and banana slices as well as white chocolate sauce and Nutella. It was delish and definitely hit the spot!

They also had bubble waffles & sundaes which I am interested in trying in the near future!

Depending on the time of day you go, you'll often get a first-hand look at the staff baking and shaping bread or treats in the open concept kitchen and it's always so cool so see how it comes together! All of the staff are friendly and Anastasia herself is usually there helping out with the baking. There's also a designated parking lot.
