    Delicious cut out and lemon blueberry bread.

    What a wonderful bakery and cafe. The seafood bisque is absolutely delicious! And the blueberry lemon cake and almond ring are phenomenal!

    Everything bagel with egg and sausage, but not my sausage

    I'd much rather eat McDuffie's than McDuff's, which are Scottish versions of some of the worst and most overrated Wings in Buffalo. But this little cute bakery in Clarence does not sell Wings. They sell all sorts of other goodies. I'm sad that 3 good friends gave this place 3 or less, partly because I rate their opinions, and partly because this bakery doesn't deserve it. Some of their items are magnificent. I'm very glad that the overall rating is a 4.5 because it deserves to be, and I will add to that with this 5-star review. What to get: Any of the soups What else: Chili is incredible And: Not a huge fan of the bread But: Some of their sweet treats are brilliant, such as insanely good Shortbread So: I'm not the DUFF. I've been working out. Don't call me the DUFF. Maybe just the DUF. Adorable dining area. Tiny but perfect. You can sit here for hours and enjoy soup after soup while getting full on the free samples of Shortbread. Service is pretty good, usually. The soups and Chili are some of the best in town. They're extremely fattening, and they may put a lot of butter, or something, in them, because they don't taste healthy but my gosh do they taste delicious. A lot of the old people that my friends look after, often ask me to bring them some McDuffie's Soup when I visit my friends at work, because they have become addicted, and so have I. I've just been informed via text: stuffed banana pepper and sausage soup at mcduffies today. So I'll be stopping by to give that a try and I have no doubt it will be exquisite, heavy, unhealthy, and worth it like Fifth Harmony. Some of the bread is good, some of it is a little dry, muffins and cakes aren't amazing, so I can see why people would give it a low result based on the bread. But that's a shame because they're missing out on the real gems here. The Shortbread here is insanely good. Scottish-style buttery cookies basically. So good you could literally eat it all day. Magnificent. So if you want to remix a track, go to McDub's (Calvin Harris works there), or if you have a lot of trash, go to McDump's (also known as McDonald's), but if it's amazing shortbread and heavenly soups that you are after... head to this lovely little Scottish-influenced bakery on Main in Clarence.

    Stopped in after a long bike ride for a breakfast sandwich and coffee and was surprised how much they have to offer! Lots of baked goods, fresh breads, big breakfast and lunch menu(was serving either or) and a lot of frozen items you can take to go and bake yourself. I had a sausage breakfast sandwich on a bagel wotha side of home fries and it was pretty basic but still good. Service was great and prices reasonable. I want to go back and try some of the breads and the frozen pierogi- they have buffalo chicken if your feeling adventurous! Great little place with small outdoor seating too for a nice summer day in buffalo!

    Pizza bread- mmmmm

    I've been to McDuffies many times. Usually for pot pies or baked goods. I've ate lunch in and it was delicious too. Since I was at my doctors office next door, it was a good idea to stop in. In today's world, the sit down area is closed. There also is more limited selection of baked goods but plenty of frozen items. They seem to rotate items so if you're looking for something specific, you may want to call ahead. Only 3 people allowed in the store at once and people were cool about that. I bought a loaf of country white and a loaf of cranberry nut bread (which is deliciously sweet). I was going to get a pot pie but they seem to have gone up in price a bit. They are very good and worth the price but I looked around. Then I saw the pizzas. I've had them before but haven't seen them in ages. They are a little reminiscent of the pizza breads bakery's like Burzynskis used to make but much better. Baked in a tin round, it's a thick chewy dough covered in mozzarella and cup & char pepperoni. The sauce is thinly spread beneath so it's not wet. It was also available in just cheese and a good looking roasted vegetable. I was really glad I stopped in!

    Ask the ladies at an antique mall and the said to try McDuffies Bakery, good choice! You walk in and to the right is their soup and sample table. They usually have 5 home made soups, that you can sample and then have a 16 ounce cup for a side. Dian had their Mayan sandwich (Turkey, pepper Jack cheese, blue cheese crumble, tomatoes and Chipotle Aioli on country white) and Italian Wedding soup. The Berkshire (homemade meatloaf topped with BBQ sauce, sauteed onions and American cheese on, surprisingly home made rye) and (after trying all the soup choices, settle on) seafood bisque were superior! Then pick out cookies for the flight home, yum. I am only giving four stars...I'd give them 4 and half if I could figure out how, because the help was super...is they listed giant pierogies and they looked delicious, but you cant order them to eat for lunch. Recommend they change their minds!

    3-egg omelette with home fries and an enormous and delicious English muffin
    Paula F.

    I liked this little gem in Clarence! The baked goods are why you come to a bakery, but I read that they also had breakfast, and since we were staying right down the street, in we came. The coffee was self serve out of thermoses but still good and hot. I could have tried anything in the display cases; it all looked authentically tasty. (We are homestyle bakery challenged where I live.) I wanted one of those homemade English muffins noted on the menu - wow - tasty and enormous. The omelette and potatoes that came with it were good but everything had a lot of butter or oil applied. I forgot to order the muffin "dry" and regretted that omission. Hubby had the Scottish French Toast which was 3 enormous slices of cinnamon swirl bread with a sweet cinnamon spread on top. A bit much in the sweet department but tasty if you have a sweet tooth. Service was very friendly and I would go there again but specify less oil/butter. Prices were great, atmosphere casual and homey.

    Everything bagel, with very little cream cheese
    KC L.

    It's a cute place but they never asked if I wanted my bagel toasted, they just took it right to the back and toasted it. I posted a photo of the cream cheese on my bagel...there's like none.

    Breads
    Lindsay A.

    Maybe it's me but I don't get the hype. Granted, my review is solely for a yogurt cake, cupcakes, a muffin, and loaf of bread. I haven't had the sandwiches or soups or chicken pies, which may all be amazing. My mom wanted a birthday cake from McDuffie's, so we drove out to get one. Why, in the age of instant gratification by even simply calling, she didn't call ahead baffles me, but she tends to be old school. Meh. So we got to McDuffie's and there are no birthday cakes there. They had some small yogurt ring cakes and of course several different baked goods, including cupcakes. So we got 2 cupcakes, a yogurt cake, dad got a carrot muffin, and we got both a loaf of honey whole wheat bread, and English muffin bread. This place is quaint inside. Nothing fancy or special. The people working were okay, not overly friendly. We learned they don't have a bread slicer. Huh. You claim to use 3 tons of flour per week but have no bread slicer... Odd. So we get our stuff home... I have to say, the breads are really good. The honey wheat is really good toasted! But the breads are the only items I might return for... First, the carrot muffin had barely any evidence of containing carrot. It was very sweet and just okay. The cupcakes were okay, the chocolate better than the white cake, but nowhere near amazing. Also very sweet with tons of frosting. The yogurt cake... HORRIBLE. Crumbled apart, super dry, didn't have a good taste to it at all. This item should be discontinued in all seriousness. Would I return? Probably not. Ohlson's, not far from this location, has much better sweet items, and it's closer to home for me. Though I'd love to try soup or sandwich or even a chicken pie, I'm not sure I will be back. But maybe. And hopefully I'll find the items that deserve the 4+ star rating here.

    Chicken Pot Pie for 4...
    John S.

    These chicken pot pies are LEGIT! The rumors are true -- eat in or take one to go. Perfectly flaky, proportioned stuff inside. No nonsense...good chicken, sauce and flavorful beyond belief. Give yourself some time to cook it at home (an hour for a family size) or get the individual and go to town. Oh, and the soups are fresh and absolutely amazing! Lobster Bisque?!? Don't mind if I do!

Burrata was good but needed a few more crostinis. Giant PB cup for desert was so chocolately, so PBery and had a cookie crust. Just absolutely delicious. Elvis cheesecake tastes what you want if you like the combo. They had a hot honey peach which I also was eyeing up. Service great as always.

The front door leads into a comfortable bar room with a large bar and an area with high tops and additional seating. I enjoy this space much more than their previous location which was rather industrial and not as warm feeling. We were early and had a few drinks. My blueberry beer tasted fresh and I enjoyed the blueberries in it. The bartender was pleasant and offered some different selections which my SIL really liked. The martini with the toasted coconut stood out. We were seated in the larger of the two back rooms. I split a cabbage roll app which had an Asian spin of pork and cabbage in a sweet sauce. My Jagerschnitzel was nicely fried over spatzle with red cabbage. The sauce and fried onions compliments perfectly. Everything was delicious with the French onion burger, the African pea soup and even the standard fish fry looked good. We skipped dessert but, from previous experience, save the room, it's worth it.

Staff were warm and welcoming and super nice and accommodating to our group. I would suggest stopping in for a nice drink and appetizer and maybe even pick up a good book!

Like c'mon! Imagine, you can have a cocktail and/or an appetizer and relax reading a book on the couch. Yes, I love this idea, I'm all about it. The place is small but seating is nicely spaced out, it's super cute and cozy, a modern rustic vibe, totally made me want to start my own book club just so I could be the cool person that hosts a gathering here! I came here for a Galentine's Day - Self Love Birthday gathering that was situated in the back room. It's a small room to the back left of the place where 12 people can sit at the three tables and there's a love seat and two chairs with a table accommodating 16 people and a couple more for standing room. We ordered three appetizers at the bar (see my pictures) and everyone ordered a mocktail. They brought the food over to our area but didn't ask who ordered the food or where to put it, they just kind placed it down and walked away. Appetizers were about $8, I was told the Buffalo Chicken Wing dip was not that good but I didn't try it. I ate the Mezza plate and appreciated it, would order again. I think this is a cute date night visit or a bring your bestie and chill kind of place. I'll definitely come back again with a friend to hang out, chat a bit and check out some books!

The Hello Dollies were absolutely delicious those were a definite highlight. Unfortunately, the cupcakes weren't what I was hoping for.

I did try to ask a few questions about wedding tastings while I was there, but the worker helping me didn't seem very enthusiastic or willing to offer much guidance. Since this is such an important part of planning my wedding, that part of the experience felt a bit disappointing.

There's breads, coffees, specialty drinks, cakes, cookies, pastries, and to go cakes. The service ranges from stellar to ok. On average, pretty good. I've never been disappointed with my treats and I'm a bit of a bake good snob as I'm a home baker myself.
