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.

In the weekend, there's never a parking issue. The room is big with huge windows giving an airy feel to the place. We scored a great window table and settled in for a while. The process of ordering was easy and didn't take long. I probably wouldn't have even reviewed this as it's nothing to different but.. enter the most delicious pistachio muffin I've ever had! It was big, almost meaty. It was dense and the top was browned around the edges . Lots of pistachio pieces scattered throughout . It didn't crumble and had a delicious flavor that stayed with me. Now, I need to return. A simple weekend coffee hour turned into my new favorite bake good.

Either way, there was only the faintest hint of coconut. It was fine, but not something I'd order again. They have so many different flavors though, so I'd definitely come back and try something else. I also came specifically for the fruit desserts, which I originally thought were ice cream. Turns out they're actually white chocolate shells filled with mousse and the actual fruit inside. It's a really fun concept, but unfortunately not really my cup of tea. It was pretty sweet, but somehow still didn't have much flavor. My biggest disappointment was that the staff didn't really know much about the products they were selling. They were friendly enough, but when I asked questions about the items, they couldn't really provide much information and even had to call someone else for help, to no avail. For a place with so many unique drinks and desserts, I would've loved to hear more about what I was ordering. Nothing really wowed me this visit, but they have so many interesting drinks that I'd definitely come back and work my way through the menu. 7.5/10.

My daughter and I like to go to coffee shop dates on the weekends together , and this time Haraz was the stop. Your instantly transformed transported to a new world. The art, cultural, lighting everything is just so beautiful, and cozy. They have card and small board games available to play, while you wiat for your order or during your visit. The staff is always so friendly and kind. Ive been to the location on Elmwood as well. Almost 2 , 3 times a week lol . And the staff in both locations are wonderful . Not the drinks and food. There is soooo much to choose from , and everything looks and smells equally delicious. Our first visit I landed on the Pastashio frappe, and my daughter the hot chocolate. For a bit to eat I ordered the Bee bits. Which is Toasted Bread with Cream cheese and Honey. So delicious!!!! Recommend 100%. My daughter ordered two Macaroons. She also enjoyed. Now my go to drink is there Pistachio Latte!!!! Order one next time. You'll thank me later. We've also tired the virual fruit desserts. So far only tried the lemon. Was good but not my favorite. To much cream for my taste. But still very delicious. If you like creamy desserts that would be a great pick. They have soooo much to choose from. I get excited to return everytime. There is a drink for everyone's taste from , coffee to refreshers. Make sure you drop by soon !

Fun coffee shop in the heart of downtown Buffalo, definitely worth a visit…read more I was staying at Hotel Lafayette for a couple of nights and right before I checked out I decided to swing by to grab a coffee. While you can enter from the street, it's also connected from inside the hotel, which is honestly how it caught my attention. The space is actually pretty big, bigger than I expected. It's open, colorful, there's a ton of natural light, cool murals all over the walls, luscious greenery, and a variety of seating options. The counter where you order is nice and open, with a big menu, and a sheet of glass between the customers and what I quickly came to know is their staple item, the cruller - a donut-like pastry that's super airy on the inside with a delicious icing glaze on the outside. Along with my oat milk latte, I had to try one... ok two. I got a seasonal Pride one and I can't remember the other one. Both were dreamy and it was easy to see why they are so popular. If I lived in the area this spot would totally be a go-to for working out of when I want to switch up my scenery.
