Morning light and blueberry scone
Megan B.

Wonderful coffee and even better employees. I'm from out of town and they were so so sweet. They helped me with recommendations on what to do. Such a good vibe.

Tourist here stomping through the winter tundra our way toward Starbucks when we turned left and saw this local coffee shop. Amazing service, local entrepreneur, roasting their own coffee from around the world. Today the espresso was sourced from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Homemade syrups. I enjoyed the raspberry vanilla latte with coconut milk. Shop local.

Vanilla oat latte

I was visiting from Los Angeles when I tried this coffee and it was delicious!! And quick . The price was around 7-9$ a latte and definitely can taste the quality.

The last time I came to Buffalo I lucked across Overwinter Coffee and immediately knew a good thing when I tasted one - I came here for a vanilla cappuccino every day of my trip and really enjoyed it! The staffers here are really friendly, and their coffee is excellent :-) Tip: This shop is easy to find, as it's right across the street from the convention center

Sometimes on my layovers I'll look up coffee shops that do latte art and that's how I choose where I'm going to go. On a snowy Monday afternoon I braved the 8 min walk from my hotel to come here. I told the barista that I chose this shop based off of the Yelp/google photos I saw showing latte art like hearts and such but I was let down that my $6 oat milk chai tea latte was watered down and didn't have any art. After getting my cup and questioning why it was so plain I was later informed that you can't really do art on chai tea lattes. At least not here. Anyways, I wouldn't be such a negative Nancy if the drink was actually good but it wasn't. It was watered down with a hint of chai spice flavoring. The space is small, the decor is cute, pastries look tasty and I'm sure they have amazing coffee because I sat at the window seat and watched several customers go in and out choosing local over the Starbucks across the street. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

Small menu but has all the essentials. I ordered a Honey Latte. Fresh baked items and clean space. Would visit again!

For views, you can't get much better than Overwinter. The inside is currently closed but the bar style seating at the window looks directly out at the Buffalo Savings Bank building and it's beautiful gold dome. Thankfully the outdoor tables have the same view and more! Currently you order at the doorway and all drinks are in to go style cups and food is served in paper bags. That was fine with us as we sat and enjoyed the shade on a warm day and then went for a walk around the block as we finished our coffees. We ordered a cappuccino, maple latte and a blueberry "Plop Tart." Good coffee and anytime someone offers maple flavoring, I'm in. The plop tart was as you can imagine, their version of a Pop-Tart and as one could imagine, much better! Great place to grab a coffee to go or sit outside, but not so much a place to camp out and work. Love the turquoise accents, including the espresso machine and outdoor tables. Would definitely recommend stopping by here!

We stopped in for the first time and I could finally say I've been to all three overwinter locations LOL. This location is more smaller with very limited indoor seating like 4 seats by the window. They also have outdoor seating (but still unavailable for now since it's been raining). Coffee was always delicious, and the lady who worked behind the counter is friendly and great customer service. A must stop to get your caffeine fix. Will be back!

The coffee is excellent, the place cute, the staff charming - but the options for bakery goods or other breakfast-like snack options is far too limited, and the few cling-wrapped items have stronger competitors...

Pour over strawberry (3)
Alex L.

Definitely one of the best brews in Buffalo. Their pour over is only $3 and so worth it. I got the strawberry flavor and it really did taste like strawberry jam without very much acidity at all. The person behind the counter suggested pretty much a perfect brew. There is only a little bar table inside and a few tables outside, so it's not the best place for a sit down meeting, but they do have wifi. Best to just grab and go and find a nice outdoor seat. If you're looking for a place to sit down and park and work, this probably isn't it - but if you want one of the best (taste-wise and value wise) brews in Buffalo, don't miss Overwinter Coffee serving the downtown community.

Capuccino - A disposable paper cup filled with coffee featuring a latte art leaf pattern on top is positioned on a white countertop. The background includes a wooden divider, cups, and bottles, indicating a cafe environment. The image is taken from an angle showing the coffee prominently in the foreground.

I stumbled in here at the recommendation of a friend, who knows was a serious coffee snob I am. To put this in perspective, I travel the world for work...and I make it a point no matter where I am to seek out serious coffee providers that are passionate about what they do. I am happy to say, this is one of those places. The owner happened to be working the day I came in, and made me a seriously awesome cappuccino with his Strawberry roast. After a nice conversation about the different roasts, I tasted my capp and immediately understood why he calls this the Strawberry Roast. IT TASTED LIKE STRAWBERRIES. Sweet, tart and oh so good. (I ended up buying a bag naturally). I was equally impressed that he went out to his car to get coffee that he roasted the night before! If you are as serious as I am about coffee and demand quality, look no further. This place is literally as great as it gets.

Holiday decor
Lynette S.

Overwinter's roasts are delicious. I recently had a cappuccino with The Blueberry and it was a special treat. If you're looking to elevate your coffee break this is the place to go. It's got a cozy atmosphere and sometimes other patrons are willing to chat, making for a touch of humanity in a cold world.

Blueberry-Lemon Scone.

I was in Buffalo for a conference across the street from Overwinter Coffee and did not want Starbucks, so I thought I would give it a shot. When I walked in, I was amazed at how tiny the shop is and there are only two seats in the window, so no place to enjoy coffee and work/relax. I ordered a small drip coffee and a blueberry-lemon scone. I was quickly provided both and made my way back to my hotel, to find a place to sit and work on my computer. The first couple of drinks of the coffee were not too bad. The coffee was very earthy and nutty, but had a strong bitter aftertaste. I even added cream and stevia, but it would not cut through the bitterness. After trying the scone, I wish I could get my money back. It had absolutely zero flavor and was so hard, I thought I may break a tooth. It was like eating a brick! The more I drank the coffee, the worse the bitterness became. It was sad, but I couldn't finish either. I love supporting local businesses, rather than chain restaurants/shops, but Overwinter was a swing-and-a-miss. Unfortunately, I will not be back.

Hello, do you offer gift cards for purchase?

Hi Elizabeth - yes! They are all digital though, but can be printed. You can buy in store or on our website!

I was wondering if you allow anyone to sit inside?

Hey Daniel - we are now offering limited (very limited due to the location size) indoor seating. Happy to help!

I'm not a deep coffee analyst. I know what I like. I don't cue up in the inexplicable lines outside…read morethe mediocre national chains, burning now overpriced gas for an overpriced substandard cup of coffee that was rapidly put together without much regard next to the breakfast sandwiches being assembled as their components sadly spew out of the microwaves and turbochefs. If you are as adorably crumudgeonly on such matters, support local! The sisters that run Unapologetic Coffee are creating something special. My work schedule doesn't allow me to get there in person very much, but when it happens its worth it. I said what I said is a fine brew either hot or cold and I am sure Black Mixed with Black will class up my home brewer until I can pay my next visit. If you want a damn fine cup of coffee, latte, made with care and respect from some incredible people, swing by the Best Self building and pay them a visit. The sisters who run the place are creating something special. They have a passion and joy for building great drinks and it is worth the dollars to having something local, BETTER than the crappy chains. A great cup of coffee awaits, get you some.

I'm a sucker for a chai latte - they always remind me of fall. And let me tell you... Unapologetic…read moreCoffee has the best chai latte out there. It has a really unique taste that simply offers comfort and love in every sip. I've had it hot and iced, made by different baristas, and it slaps every time! I've also purchased their coffee grounds to make cold brew at home and it definitely gives me a good kickstart to my day! Don't be fooled by the buildings' exterior. Once you walk into the coffee shop on the lower level of the shared building space, you'll quickly realize it's a great spot to connect with friends, colleagues, or alone! Lots of space and a really nice community table as well. 10/10 would recommend you visit!

Coffee is tasty. They make their own syrups in house here - unique offering. NO BREAKFAST…read moreSANDWICHES OR PASTRIES SERVED HERE!! I had specifically made the stop here to grab a quick coffee & a breakfast "sang-which" on my way to run errands; only to find out upon arrival they offer no food here. ONLY COFFEE. Kind of a bummer. Due to busy Main Street in Williamsville and parking difficulties don't know if I would stop back because they don't have any food to sit and enjoy with your coffee. Seemed popular, long lines waiting to be served. Posting an updated menu on Yelp, as coffee shop has no paper menu (to-go menu) and they also do not have a website displaying their menu online for customers to view. That would be a nice update.

I've been to Overwinter Coffee twice now, most recently with my mom before we headed to Woodhouse…read moreDay Spa for massages. It was a Saturday morning and while street parking was plentiful, the line inside was pretty long. That said, the line moved at a reasonable pace and tables seemed to turn over fairly quickly. By the time our coffees were ready, we were able to grab a seat without too much trouble. My mom ordered a black coffee while I opted for one of the seasonal lattes. Both were smooth, well balanced, and what we were hoping for on a cold winter morning! Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the food selection. We were hoping for a light breakfast but options were limited to cookies and a few small pastries. The items that sounded most appealing were already sold out for the day which was a bit of a bummer! This is definitely not a full breakfast spot. Prices were on par with what you'd expect from a craft coffee shop, especially in the Williamsville area. While I enjoyed the coffee, the overall experience on a busy winter morning felt a little too hectic for my liking. All that to say I'd absolutely return, just at an off hour and after having already eaten. Overwinter is popular for a reason, and with better timing on my part, I know it would shine even brighter to me!
