Georgian Cheese-bread - Khachapuri
Rick P.

An absolute gem of a coffee shop located on Main st in Buffalo. It is definitely worth the trip and your time. Everything from the unique Turkish coffee to the wonderful food items is worth the hype. Be sure to read your fortune in the Turkish coffee grounds. I would definitely recommend the cheese bread as well. Enjoy!!

The perfect fusion of coffee shop and outdoor oasis. Brandon G., the local Yelp leader in Buffalo, suggested we work from here one morning while I was in town and it was the best suggestion ever. Locally owned and operated, this place has that special spark to it... The kind where you can see the passion and love that the owners have poured into it. The space itself is beautiful, with a ton of natural light, bright greenery, and even a little nook with a swing and a lovely photo opp. I ordered a latte and a croissant and busted out some work for a couple of hours. The wifi was strong, there was street parking out front, and the service was top notch. I honestly could have stayed here all day. I wouldn't hesitate to come back and I highly suggest you pay them a visit the next time you're looking to work out of the house or office and/or need a pick me up that only coffee can fix.

Kid (and grandma) friendly!

Penny's is such a fun spot! Located right in the heart of the city, I like to stop here on my way to work occasionally or I stop in for a solo date with a book, and it's super cozy. My go to drink is always a latte with either caramel or vanilla, however I do switch up on what I get to eat. So far, I've tried a plain bagel toasted with butter, an everything bagel with cream cheese, their double chocolate chip muffin and their chocolate chip cookies. My favorite item? The plain bagel toasted with butter! I don't know how they get the butter to soak so perfectly into the bagel, but oh my goodness, it's amazing. The employees are always super friendly and I think it's just a great spot to kick off your day. Plus, it's so cute inside that you can take some really fun photos.

Cool lights!

Really cute place, I absolutely love the ambiance in here. However, the food was very mediocre. Like, 17 dollars for a sandwich and it's half hot half cold? Cheese isn't even melted? Disappointed there. The drinks were good! And then the service.. not so sure about that. Overheard the same worker being rude to people a few times. I'd come back, but only for drinks. And I'd prefer just to order the self order stand if the workers are gonna be rude.

The sugar free Carmel latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon was great. The espresso was rich and smooth. Came back the next day to order food and kill some time. That's when I discovered the swings. I just love the swings and the decorations are cute. The cashier was nice and personable. Nothing amazing but also nothing bad. If you're in the neighborhood stop by.

Chicken Shawarma

Disappointing. Service was not great, was sold croissant breakfast sandwich and the next person in line also bought two croissants but they somehow didn't have one for my party. Food and drinks took close to 50 minutes to prepare. They seemed to prioritize togo orders instead of restaurant customers. Restaurant didn't seem overly busy but employees seemed very stressed and were stern with customers to line up in different ways (there were maybe 2 people in line at any given time). Kind of made it all a stressful atmosphere. Additionally, the shawarma wrap was not so great. Loaded with dressing and falling apart. Overall, a really disappointing experience for over $50. Also, we were warned their signature dish (Khachapuri) would take 30-40 minutes to prepare so we didn't order it, and ended up waiting over 40 minutes for our food anyways.

I really enjoyed the latte and panini I ordered at this spot. The iced baklava latte was so unique and delicious. I felt bad for the staff as there was a woman who was rude to them for being understaffed. I think they did a fantastic job considering there were only two employees! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Buffalo!

Peanut butter toast with bananas, blueberries, honey and coconut
Jacqueline R.

Food was excellent, ambiance was nice calm and well decorated, but the frustration was that our food took 30 minutes from when we ordered. Not sure if they were maybe just short staffed. I ordered the peanut butter toast and my husband had the lox bagel and it didn't seem that busy inside so I really don't understand why it took so long. We would still go back and just know we can't be in a rush to go somewhere else.

4.5/5 I got the iced caramel apple tea latte which was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Not too sweet and a perfect blend of flavours. Tasted like autumn! about $5.50 I also got the lox bagel which was amazing. I knocked half a star because it could have used more salmon but nonetheless it was absolutely delicious! $11 The interior is sooo cute! Great cafe!

cute side room to eat, drink, and study in!

I've visited Penny's twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. A few weeks ago, my friend and I stopped by for lunch since we're interning nearby, and it was a lovely walk on a nice day. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a blueberry latte (unfortunately, no pictures), and I have to say, the latte was one of the best I've ever had from a coffee shop. I usually make my own at home because I'm picky about the taste, but they absolutely nailed it! The wrap was also delicious, and I'll definitely be returning for lunch soon. Since it's my birthday month, Penny's sent me a $5 birthday coupon--thank you, Penny's!!! So, I decided to grab a quick breakfast to go today. The employees were super nice and took the time to explain the seasonal coffee specials, which I really appreciated. I ordered the strawberries and cream cold brew (summer seasonal flavor) and a plain bagel toasted with strawberry cream cheese. Although I'm not usually a big fan of cold brew, this one was amazing. You can't beat the vibes of this place, either; it's beautifully set up, and I can definitely see myself studying here during the school year. Cheers to Penny's! I highly recommend everyone give it a try:)

I have been here before, and frankly I cannot recall what my experience was like, but I have some further thoughts. If I'm expected to pay a tip, the least they could do is bring the order to the table; especially since I'm handicapped. That bitchery aside, the food (lox sandwich) was delicious and the chai latte was one of the best I've had. I'm afraid to try the Turkish coffee for some reason, maybe someday I'll get over it. Then there was the baklava - holy crap was it delicious!!

menu and counter

Came by for a work meeting and stayed to grab a bite. I wanted to sample a bit of what they had to offer so I got a sandwich, blueberry muffin, and a hot beverage. Everything was really delicious.l! Not being a huge coffee drinker, I got one of their seasonal 'spring fever' drinks, which was called 'Cup of Sunshine'. This was a house-made Golden milk that was sweetned with honey. The chicken pesto panini ($14.95) was very delicious and came with chicken pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella on focaccia bread. It came with a little salad as well. And the blueberry muffin ($3.50)was a large delicious blueberry muffin, haha! I also really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the place and it had a variety of seating options, including a pair of porch swings (probably not the best for drinking a hot coffee though lol)

Smoked Salmon Toast
Vicky B.

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday and enjoyed the smoked salmon toast and coffee. Everything about the toast was delicious! The atmosphere here is also very welcoming and cute, with table seating, seating along the window, and an adjacent room that's a cute space for a photo op. Ordering was quick but it took my food quite a while to come out. However they were very busy that day which may have been the reason why my food took awhile.

Cute photo op

So weird...I was excited to try breakfast here this morning. I arrived around 8:30am but the…read more"closed" sign was up on the door. (Also- the hours online and Yelp/Google Maps are different than what's posted on the door.) I decided to see if the door was open in case the sign just wasn't flipped to "open". It was UNLOCKED, and so was the second door! I was able to go INSIDE the cafe, even though it was clearly empty and no one was there...no food in the display case either. I even called out "hello??" a couple times to no response. Why were both doors unlocked if the cafe was clearly closed (even though according to the hours on the door it should be open...)

The first thing I appreciated was, the Owners and staff members. They are genuinely, a very happy group of people. They are super friendly and engaging. I also like the fact you can dine in or even do takeout. Today I decided on takeout.. the serving sizes are very decent, and the prices are more than fair. I strongly recommend checking them out. Breakfast sandwich- choice of bacon or sausage. Really nice satisfying sandwich. I really like the type of roll that was used. Plus the sandwich wasn't greasy or sloppy at all. Breakfast bowl- For me, I was able to share with my wife. The to-go container was pack. Every bite full had meat, cheese potatoes, and eggs. The ingredient ratio was spot on. You didn't have to much of this and not enough of that. Chicken and waffle- breast was moist and seasoned well for my liking. I loved the waffle flavor. Whatever waffle mix they are using. They need to keep using it and never change up.

This is a little late, but Betty's was absolutely outstanding! I have severe food allergies,…read moreincluding dairy, eggs, and gluten, and the only breakfast I ever get to eat is the one I make for myself at home. I honestly can't remember the last time I was able to order breakfast at a restaurant. While visiting Buffalo with my boyfriend in November 2025, his college friend spent the morning taking us to several restaurants trying to find a place where I could safely eat. After striking out everywhere else, Betty's was our last stop--and what a blessing it was! Alice, our host, was warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure my food allergies were handled safely. I was able to order a bacon, "egg" and avocado sandwich made to accommodate my allergies, and it was incredible. I hadn't enjoyed a breakfast sandwich from a restaurant in over a decade! It was so delicious that I went back again before leaving Buffalo and even ordered another sandwich to take home. For anyone living with food allergies, you know how rare it is to find a restaurant that truly understands safe food preparation while still serving amazing food. I'm from New York City, and I still haven't found a place that compares. 1,000 stars! I can't recommend Betty's highly enough.

The vibe is so right, in fact this restaurant has a personality of its own, which matches its amazing eclectic selection of delicious foods. On beautiful sunny Spring, Summer or Autumn days you can enjoy the neighborhood on the patio or you can always choose to dine in one of their several comfortable dining rooms all of which feature art (Some of which you can purchase ) that will get you leaving your seat for a closer look. We were rewarded with two truly special brunch items ... a layered "French toast" that I stared at as a diner near me ate hers and an orange infused pair of delicious waffles. They were perfect and filling (This ended up as our only meal on this beautiful Sunday.). The quality of service matched the food ... we lingered soaking in the atmosphere just enjoying life at Betty's. When asked by neighbors where we went for brunch we said "Betty's" and they smiled knowingly. Once you're familiar with Betty's you've found a friend.

This one popped up on my radar and I thought I'm going to go check it out. Located in a home Depot shopping center, it was pretty easy to find. Upon entering the place, it had a very cheery bright atmosphere. I was able to grab myself a table and take a seat. Robin, my server, was there in a heartbeat to grab me some coffee. The coffee itself is very tasty, they have a fairly comprehensive menu, and had plenty of options. One thing I was actually stunned about was the low prices. A breakfast of two eggs, bacon and home fries was only $6.99. I jumped in and ordered a couple upgrades including a pancake on the side and the peameal bacon. Again, this was one of the most amazing meals I've had. I had never experienced this type of bacon before, and now I am absolutely hooked. Everything overall was cooked perfectly. Seasoned excellently and I can't say enough nice things about this place. Service was on point, food and atmosphere was all there. Bottom line? I will definitely be hitting this place again, and you should too. I was told that it gets pretty busy and sometimes can be a line out the door so get there early, or just be prepared to hang out for a while.

Campfire Grill continues to be my favorite breakfast spot in Buffalo!…read more I walked in on Labor Day 2026 around 8:30am and the hostess said I could pick anywhere to sit as it wasn't very busy, so, I grabbed a stool at the bar so I could watch the magic in the kitchen. A waitress came over with a menu and took my drink order, an easy order - coffee. They gave me plenty of time to decide what I wanted. When I remember my last visit, the customer service was a little lacking but this time, everyone I interacted was incredibly pleasant and very nice! About 10-15 minutes later, my breakfast was brought over with a variety of syrups. For breakfast I went with an old favorite, "Hill" size (three) Cinnamon Roll Homemade Hot Cakes with whipped cream on top! They were nicely sized and made to perfection. I LOVE these pancakes so much that I scarf them down in what feels like two minutes, so I put A LOT of effort into pacing myself and enjoying, savoring them this time. I've been coming here for eight years now and I will say, the prices have gone up but it's not prohibitive and once in a while, you just have to treat yourself. Buffalo has several great breakfast spots and Campfire Grill is certainly one of them. I can not wait to come back for another plate of hot cakes or their crunchy French toast!

Campfire Grill has a cozy diner feel to it. I'm always looking forward to my next visit.
