I love all the photos of peoples dogs up in the seating area, it adds so much personality. The coffee was absolutely delicious and affordable.

If I could gatekeep one Buffalo spot but also want it to thrive forever, it's Jam Parkside…read more This place has become my go-to for slow mornings, creative resets, and "I need something that feels like a hug but tastes elite" moments. The vibe is cozy but elevated: natural light, warm tones, the kind of space where you can journal, edit photos, or have a soft life catch-up with a friend. Let's talk orders: Rose Matcha -- This is the drink. Lightly floral, perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and somehow both calming and energizing. It feels grounding without being gimmicky. I may have even gotten my boyfriend hooked to matcha off of this drink alone Cupid's Latte -- Seasonal but unforgettable. It's sweet without being cloying and tastes like a cozy little love letter in a cup. The kind of drink that makes you romanticize your entire day. Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakkie Sandwich -- Absolute classic done right. The sausage is flavorful, the egg is cooked perfectly, and everything melts together in that satisfying, messy-in-the-best-way breakfast sandwich experience. It hits every time. Chocolate Muffins (and baked goods in general) -- Soft, rich, bakery-level good. Not dry. Not overly sweet. Just the right indulgence to pair with coffee while pretending you're being productive. What I love most is that nothing feels mass-produced. It feels intentional. The staff is always kind and efficient, even when it's busy, and the quality is consistent. Jam Parkside isn't just a coffee shop, it's a ritual. A reset button. A soft, delicious pause in the middle of a chaotic week. If you see me there with a rose matcha and a breakfast sandwich, mind your business. I'm thriving

Seven Hearts Coffee in Buffalo was exactly the cozy little gem I was hoping to find…read more Nestled inside a charming old building right next to a bookstore (which you absolutely should pop into while you're there), this spot had the perfect vibe from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and effortlessly cool, the kind of place that makes you want to linger for hours with a good book and a great cup of coffee. My fiancé and I each ordered one of their specialty coffees along with bagels, and everything was fantastic. After a less than stellar experience at Tim Hortons earlier in the trip, Seven Hearts completely redeemed our coffee expectations. It was exactly the aesthetic and experience I had been searching for. What really made it special was how quickly it felt like a place I could make part of my routine. If I lived in Buffalo, this would absolutely be my go to coffee shop. Before leaving, I picked up a couple of honey sticks and a bottle of their house made lavender syrup to bring home. Now I get to enjoy a little taste of Seven Hearts, and Buffalo, with my morning coffee for a few more days.

Stopped in here to kill time before an appointment after seeing the high ratings, but unfortunately…read morethe experience didn't live up to them. Most of my rating is based on the service. Upon entering, no one greeted me, and I felt rushed while looking over the menu. When I asked questions, it felt like I was inconveniencing the employee rather than being helped. I ordered the blueberry lemon bar matcha and hoped the drink would redeem the experience, but it was disappointing. The flavor combination didn't work well in a matcha drink, and it left a strange aftertaste/coating in my mouth. I also specifically requested no dairy (asked for oat milk) yet it still came topped with cold foam, which upset my stomach. It looked cute, but for nearly $9, it wasn't enjoyable. I had originally planned to order food as well, but the overall atmosphere and interaction felt so uncomfortable that I decided to just take my drink and leave.

So I had no idea the Monocle Building even existed, but I have had my eye on Cafe Bewilderment…read morethrough Instagram for quite a while. I was thrilled to finally make to it Cafe Bewilderment for lunch yesterday. First and foremost, the Monocle Building itself is stunning with immaculate vibes. Once we found Cafe Bewilderment, I was, in fact, bewildered. It's beautiful, it's wild, and it's a place I already know I'll want to return to again and again. The setup is simple: order at the counter, grab your table marker (a very tiny tree stump - how fun is that?), and your food is brought out to you. All of the employees were friendly and the gentleman at the register helped me decide between the Lox Sandwich and the Hot Honey Burrata. He recommended the lox so I went with that. The Lox Sandwich was more of a lox toast than a sandwich, but whatever it was delicious and surprisingly filling. My mom ordered the Bewild BLT and ended up taking half of it home, so I'd say hers was also filling. To drink, I ordered a hot latte with lavender and cardamom. It was so, so good, and the presentation was chef's kiss. Honestly, though, the decor is mesmerizing. Everywhere you look there's something interesting to admire - even the bathroom. I really, really, really want to come back to try more of the menu as well as their cocktails. Something tells me Cafe Bewilderment is just as magical in the evening as it is during the day!!!

So you get a comfortable cozy space that's perfect for socializing, and listening to live music playing in the background. The bar area is perfect if you want to enjoy one of their well made cocktails or non alcoholic drinks. The Cafe Bewilderment menu is on the small side, even smaller as the night goes on. But you can find small bites including sandwiches on there. There's even a selection of bake goods that is well worth trying out. Grilled cheese- loaded with the right amount of bacon jam. Had a really good salty sweet flavor profile. Clover & sage cocktail- amazing drink Butter tart- tasted just like pecan pie.. I could eat a dozen of these

The staff was friendly and food was ready quick and as we took our order to go, I was happy with the choice, that was until one of the sandwiches had not only 1 but 2 hairs cooked into the eggs so was thrown out! After the other one was checked, I tried it and it was nothing special and the home fries were ice cold! I'll admit I lost my appetite upon seeing the other sandwich so it was not much of a loss not eating more. Will not return.

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.

Most they would make it right but sometimes it would be super watered down (even with less ice added). The service here is also slow.

This modest space is an old carriage house turned into a small coffee shop. It has several tables, some food offerings (not much by way of breakfast-at least not yet), restrooms and an unneeded TV. And of course, coffee--the coffee, from local Golden Cup Coffee Roasters was excellent. They do have some local favorites-Perry's Ice Cream and Fowler's Chocolates. We wanted something for breakfast to eat, but settled on a brownie. Reasonable prices in a great setting. Give the place a shot.

The café currently has coffee and chips on offer, they're working out the menu selection for the future. Coffee comes from Golden Cup roasters. They are in a soft opening right now.
