My favorites are the classic market loaf, english muffins, and cardamom bun, but everything is delicious. There's often a line, but don't let it deter you because it moves super fast! The bakery itself is cozy with a few tables throughout and a bench just outside. Depending on the time of day you go, you'll often get a first-hand look at the staff baking and shaping bread or treats in the open concept kitchen and it's always so cool so see how it comes together! All of the staff are friendly and Anastasia herself is usually there helping out with the baking. There's also a designated parking lot.

There were twelve people for a 6 course vegan menu. While the menus aren't always 100% vegan, they can do a full vegan option at any of their pop-ups if you provide advance notice. It's a pop-up, so the only food there will be what is being served to the small group. The courses are spaced out so you have a chance to talk with the other diners and meet new people. Everyone sits together at one table. All meals are gluten free and BYOB, so feel free to bring wine to share or beverages for yourself. The meal was thoughtful and vegetable forward. There's nothing like this in Buffalo, but lots of places serving food like this in bigger cities - Chicago, Philadelphia, NYC, LA. Do yourself a favor and let Chef Claire wow you with vegetables and other plant-based foods where the animal products, if any, just play a supporting role. Eat better.

Stumbled upon here as I was searching for hidden gems. It's a shame more people don't know about this kitchen. Came in on a Saturday night around 7pm. Ordered the Blackened shrimp po boy and the Szechuan Udon with shrimp which has noodles stir fried & tossed with veggies in a spicy Szechuan inspired sauce. Both were tasty. Seasoned beautifully. Had lovely colored and delivered with every bite. Honestly it was so good that two hours later I came back and ordered food for my family. They licked the plate clean. I got them the Creole Seafood Eggrolls and the southern fried shrimp po boy. There's a few seats outside the restaurant but most people take it to go it looks like. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Slide thru. It won't disappoint. Plus it's Black owned. Bonus info! If you don't wanna order in person you can get it with grubhub, door dash, and other delivery platform

Are you ready for a journey combining cuisine from East and West that will tantalize your taste…read morebuds and make you want more? Than look no further than Far East Bayou! We were looking for cajun food and stumbled upon this hidden gem. When I say hidden, its hidden tucked inside an old industrial building (with zero street signage) that now houses a bunch of pop up culinary surprises. On the second floor tucked in the back corner you will find Far East Bayou. This casual take out restaurant, is a fusion of Southern New Orleans and Korean flavors. The chef was extremely friendly and ready to take us down his culinary journey down the bayou. I ordered a bunch of different dishes for my husband and I to sample: Shrimp Bo Poy - blackened, shrimp po boy- fried, crab hush puppies and honey cajun udon noodles. Everything was extremely flavorful! The sauces were out of this world. They had a nice spice on them. Not a spice that sets your mouth on fire, but spice that is flavorful and enhances everything else on the plate. The fried shrimp was super crispy and the cornmeal breading was perfectly seasoned. My only complaint is the preparation of the shrimp. The shrimp are prepared with their tails on, which made it difficult to eat. We had to dig through the sauces and toppings to find each shrimp and pull the tails off . I learned the owner makes his own kimchi, which is made using more spices and vegetables and less fish. He allowed me to sample some, and I will be dreaming about this kimchi tonight! I will definitely be coming back to try their rotating specials menu, and grab some more kimchi!

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

Stopped going to the market and promptly forgot about them until I saw a recent pop up on FB. Hubby and daughter are true "coffee snobs". I am always on the hunt for great coffee for them. When I checked on the Kornerstone website I saw that they offer home delivery of their product. For FREE! They offer a light, medium or dark roast at $10.00 per pound. They also offer up some single origin coffee at a higher rate. You can order as much or as little as you want and you can establish the frequency of delivery. What's not to like? Signed up last week and received my first delivery yesterday morning. Three heavenly smelling bags wrapped in plastic - we had torrential downpours here - on my porch. Early! Really, how much easier can it get. Great coffee, no long term commitment, whole bean or ground options as well the ability to change the order at any time. Perfection!

Stormin' Crab offers their blue crabs one of two ways: Either added as a side to any boil (topped with your favorite seasonings), or served as a fried crab basket. The oyster appetizer (sold as six or twelve) can be raw or grilled. I adore them raw, and these are Bluepoints! They were plump, glistening, and had a great sweet and briney flavor. My husband's gumbo was thick with rice and andouille sausage, with baby shrimp. It also had a powerful black pepper kick. Very tasty! The boil arrived on a stainless steel platter in a large plastic bag, ballooned out with steam. We had chosen the butter, medium spicy. I thought the saltiness overpowered the flavor of the seafood, but your mileage may vary. Combo C had so much food we took a third of it home! We really enjoyed our meal here!

10/10 Experience at Tea Leaf Cafe!…read more Tea Leaf Cafe in Buffalo is easily one of my favorite spots in the city. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is cozy, clean, and welcoming. It's the perfect place to relax, hang out with friends, or just enjoy some quiet time. The drinks are AMAZING. Whether you're getting classic milk tea, fruit tea, or something more unique, everything tastes super fresh and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, just right. The boba texture is always on point too. You can tell they really care about quality. The staff is friendly, patient, and fast with orders, even when it's busy. They make you feel appreciated as a customer. If you're in Buffalo and love bubble tea (or even if you're trying it for the first time), I 100% recommend Tea Leaf Cafe. Definitely a 10/10 -- I'll keep coming back!
