Ignore the haters! This place is amazing! Tariq at the register is a pure delight big selection of delicious snacks and food. I came here for the first time to see how any local coffee shop could be rated worst than the Starbucks across the street. Definitely better than Starbucks.

BLT
David T.

GREAT COFFEE. Stronger than I expected. I ordered the BLT sandwich and it was definitely flavorful especially with the Rosemary bread. However, there could've been additional slices of bacon along with thicker slices. The bread is way too thick to not have more than 4 slices of bacon. That's my only recommendation. Aside from that... again great coffee!!!

Oreo Dream Bar

Nice spot if you're staying downtown. The Coffee was decent, the staff was friendly, and Vibe was typical coffee shop. The Oreo pastry was pretty delicious.

Diane S.

Overall good vibes. I got green tea and a snickerdoodle cookie. The cookie was kinda rock hard but once you chew through, it tastes nice and sweet. Workers were nice as well. The inside is spacious and cozy- a good place to sit and do some work.

Excited to be here!

I came twice during my trip to NY and it was great. This coffee shop feels super 90s in the best way. Cozy and stylish and open and artsy. The service was great and the coffee was delish! The bagels were grand and there breakfast sandwich not shown here was my favorite order! Not expensive and straight forward coffee shop.

Nice little local coffee shop near the theater district, corner of Chippewa walkable area. They do offer gluten free rolls and wraps; they suggest the roll and it was pretty good for being gluten free. They do charge extra for that, and if you would like an alternative milk option they have them but charge extra as well.

Decent location. Nice interior. Lots of seating. Good tea. Okay yogurt parfait. Massively weird and slightly aggro vibes from the barista. I'm not used to smiling at someone and saying good morning only to catch an attitude in return. The service was *off off*. That alone would keep me away if I were local. Yikes.

This coffee shop in Buffalo has lots of options and the coffee was good--did the trick, but nothing special. The breakfast sandwich was good, though! It's a decent spot to grab a quick bite and a cup, but don't expect anything extraordinary.

The sign of greatness, hand crafted in Florence Italy.

We stayed at the nearby Hilton and boy was I glad to see SPoT nearby! No more hotel room swill for Mr. Coffee, that's me (or so I'm told). For its espresso, SPoT has the good sense to use a La Marzocco, an exquisite instrument originating in Florence Italy. It is to espresso what Sophia Loren is to beauty. Only problem is they are still using paper cups instead of ceramic for espresso. "It's the pandemic." Ok then wash the stupid thing. SPoT is still very aggressive in their mask mandate, but if you are seated there's no risk and you can go without. According to places and people like SPoT, the virus knows if you are seated and is thus rendered harmless. Then why did we all get vaccinated instead of just sitting down. I got the Mike's on focaccia and it was largely inedible. No worry. I didn't come for the chow.

Roastery - note: pink chandelier!
Marjorie G.

I loved that this was local, not a Starbucks (right across the street!) or a Tim Hortons. The coffee was perfect for me and the sweet treat hit the SPoT! The folks serving were courteous and helpful as we were visiting from out of town, out of state. The space was clean, cozy and comfortable...and quaint. Has an amahzing pink bubble chandelier.

You can see how thin it is, it was much worse before i added milk.

DO NOT GET ICED COFFEE HERE. Just wasted $5 on the worst cup of iced coffee i've ever ordered. The barista filled my cup to the top with ice then put the cup directly under the molten hot stream of regular coffee brewing. All the ice in my cup immediately melted and she served me the most watered down "coffee" possible. It was fully translucent. That's how you know it's going to be bad. It's bitter, slightly coffee flavored water. At least cool down the coffee before you ice it so this doesn't happen, or offer cold brew! It's literally going in the trash. I added a splash of milk to try to make it drinkable but it just isn't. Sad because i wanted to support local but should have just gone across the street to starbucks. Awful.

The coffee and pasties are amazing! The service was also friendly, patient and quick…read more We had the chocolate croissant- perfect. Nicely browned, airy and crisp. Also an everything bagel with cream cheese, lots of cream cheese, warm and wrapped up well. More like a denser style bagel- not hard. Very good. I got chocolate in my Americano, the standard amount they put in was perfect. You can taste the chocolate and the coffee, not too sweet! Seating area is small and cute. Perfect for two people to sit and chat. Not good for a family or children. We did have our three year old and new born. We had never been here before and had already made our toddler wait to get a croissant so we had to make it work. If you know you know. But he is well behaved so it was fine. I would definitely stop here again if I didn't have kids with me or even to have a one on one date with my son.

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.

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.

The location makes sense as the residents of Williamsville are generally well-educated and worldly enough to appreciate authentic Yemeni cuisine; the same cannot be said for most of Buffalo suburbs, unfortunately, so I'm grateful the Buffalo metro now has one. Ordered the Qamaria latte, traditionally-spiced with cinnamon and cardamom. The spice notes were potent, but not at all overpowering and the beverage remained balanced. Had a chicken malawach as well; flaky and savory, and also well-spiced. It was a bit greasy which was the only regrettable thing about the experience, but not extremely and it didn't compromise the flavor or texture. The dining room itself was clean and elegantly decorated with Arabian and Gulf motifs, and the staff were friendly and helpful when my mother had questions about the menu. (I give any practicing Muslim props for working in food service while fasting during Ramadan.) All and all, grateful they're part of the community; I just hope they don't overexpand and sacrifice quality for quantity like many others.
