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

OMG ... Decided to…read morecheck out this new local Yemeni coffee shop and I am glad I stopped in. From the moment you walk in the door you hear the faint sound of music and the ambiance is welcoming. I was quite impressed with the size of this place, there is plenty of room for dining inside and seating for one person or a little group. The menu is pretty straight forward and there is a display case with wonderful cakes and other treats. The drink menu is pretty simple and there appears to be a featured item on display. We placed our orders and was given a timer to await our order preparation. We grabbed a corner seat with a couch like setting and waited patiently. Drink orders consisted of Cold Pistachio Latte , iced Adeni and a brown sugar oatmilk drink on special. We decided on a pastry also. So we ordered a Cardamom knot, Red Velvet Cake and Coconut Cake. It probably took about 10 mins from being seated before we were notified. We attempted to get up to go and pick it up, but the young lady delivered our items on a tray. The drinks were absolutely delicious! The flavors were a burst in your mouth. The Pistachio Latte was phenomenal. The Brown Butter was great, but a bit on the strong side and the Adeni was delicious, the cardamom really stood out in that drink. On to the cakes ...all were delicious.. The coconut was a little dense but delicious. There were 2 layers The cardamom knot was delicious. They usually heat them and that enhances the flavor. The red velvet was wonderful, I wondered about the type of frosting. It reminded me of a whipped cream, which I'm not a fan of but the cake was delicious. This was an awesome experience. Some additional features. The restrooms were very clean and well stocked. There is a corner area where they have games to allow people to enjoy. I watched some friends play a came of chess. Free water is available on the counter The atmosphere was very cozy and inviting.

When you first walk in, there is an array of pastries and sweet treats. I opted for the raspberry cream cake but was disappointed. It was dry and bland.

I would like to return and try other pastries!

BEST coffee with unique flavors. EXCEPTIONAL breakfast sandwiches. Fair pricing. Great customer…read moreservice. Home town Buffalo feel where you never know who you'll run into while patronizing this family owned establishment. They also have homemade cakes from a local bakery. Absolutely LOVE Golden Cup. Recommend the Sweet Potato Coffee for something delightful with medium strength and the Buffalo Roast is if you're looking to pack a punch in your day. Recommend the Meat, Egg, and Cheese on a Croissant with Onions, Peppers and Mayo. They offer thick cut bacon, turkey or pork sausage. Soups here are also VERY good and homemade. Perfect for a winter's warm up. Space is cozy and located at the corner of historical Jefferson and Utica across from the library. You can also purchase coffee by the bag or Kcup box. They are also available in Tops and Wegmans but there is more variety directly at Golden Cup Check them out!

I've been in…read morethis store on and off over the years however in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic I am trying to shop local and support small businesses that have remained open due to being essential. Blue Mountain is a mix of gift shop filled with various items such as mugs, candies, cards, biscotti, cigars, chocolates and more in addition to coffee and tea shop. At Blue Mountain you are able to purchase coffee beans, whole or they will grind them in addition to tea, either bagged or loose leaf tea. Since my trip to Last Vegas in August 2019 I have had my eye on an espresso brewer, feverishly looking at it online and in-person at a major retailer that isn't in our area so when I was walking my dogs by the store and saw the brewer in the window I was delighted. The brewer I had in mind is a percolator and they have a variety of serving sizes available. My current one is 6 cups however I may get a smaller one so I am bringing down my coffee intake. Another benefit of coming here is the ability to get a hot or iced coffee and as mentioned in other reviews the ice cubes are made of coffee also so you don't have to worry about your drink watering down. And if you are a decaf drinker like I currently am, they have decad iced coffee! (Very rare). If you are a coffee aficionado or a wannabe I highly recommend stopping in this small shop.

I really like shopping at Blue Mountain Coffees when putting together a gift for a coffee or tea…read moredrinker. There are a lot of choices in coffee beans and loose teas, so I like to pick a variety. There's even a pretty good selection for people who just drink decaf, which is rarely the case elsewhere. They also have mugs, cards, cookies and chocolate if you're looking for more add-ons for a gift. The staff is friendly, and will make recommendations if you ask. For pre-packaged teas, there is a higher mark-up than if you're lucky enough to find the same brand and flavor at the grocery store, but I like to support small businesses in my neighborhood when I can--and sometimes I'm just lazy and don't want to schelp to a big store. Glad to have this shop in Elmwood Village!

Kids ordered a mango smoothie and all the fighting of who would get the first sip led to it spilling all over. So, not only do we show up and create a big order 10 minutes before close, we made a sticky mess. Despite that, the girl at the counter was very sweet and made them a new one. The rest of our meal was delivered in a to go bag, so we took the hint and came home to eat. Atmosphere was enjoyed by the kids, who all wanted to sit at the couch by the fireplace. It felt homey and they liked the art on the walls and music. We got 3 bean veggie chili, a strawberry almond salad, chicken feta wrap, and pizza bagel. Then finished with my Spot staple: Smores bar (and an oreo dream bar). Great, wholesome food...what you'd expect from a coffee shop. Everyone cleared their plates and said Spot rules!
