If you're used to a denser, chewier bagel this one isn't it, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. Prices are totally reasonable for the portion sizes. Great spot to grab a quick breakfast sandwich and coffee or to meet up with some friends.

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.

The…read morematcha was a little disappointing as I was sipping chunks of matcha powder (and couldn't taste a cheesecake flavor either). The barista was very nice, but this place is beyond understaffed. There were two parties ahead of us when we walked in (4 drinks total but one person also has to warm and prepare all the food too) but we ended up waiting for a good 15-20 minutes before our order was even taken. With so much time, also did notice flies in their pastry display, so decided to stick with just a drink.

I had breakfast burrito which was really good and I'd order that again. They have a whole bunch of tables for two they have a few tables for four and they did have an outside seating area that looks like it might be covered for the colder weather, but I didn't visit it. They have a all day breakfast menu and then they have some lunch sandwiches. It seems.

Popped in since most places on hertel were closed & I just wanted a light meal, no wait, no crowds…read more Milk and Tea fit the bill. Grabbed a little brown sugar milk tea & a tofu banh mi. Both cost about $15 total. The tea was ready within 5 minutes & the sandwich took about 15, which they felt was worth apologizing for the long wait. This makes me think they likely serve patrons a bit quicker, if you're pressed for time. It's a basic setting, a bit more ambience than a fast food chain, but about the same level of cleanliness/service/friendliness. Noticed when a couple customers asked for printed menus they just said they ran out, didn't let customers know a full menu is available online. Unpretentious & casual. If this food is what you're craving, it's a nice little place to stop in for a bite to eat.

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.

Currently open weekdays 11 to 5, tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Well worth a visit whether or not you hit the Darwin Martin House at the same time.
