    I went to college in Syracuse where Strong Hearts originated, so I was excited to see they expanded to Buffalo! Their space is beautiful, bright, and colorful. Orders are placed at a counter, then your name is called when your food is ready. Our food came out in less than 15 minutes. My Thai tofu salad was flavorful and filling. The spiced Thai cashews were a great addition.I just wish the greens were smaller or chopped, I had to take some BIG bites. Only one of the four of us who went it fully Vegan, but Strong Hearts has a diverse menu! If you're someone who doesn't like to eat imitation meat or cheese there are other options, such as tofu or a sweet potato burger. Strong Hearts also has a wheelchair lift and gender-neutral bathrooms (labeled in English and Spanish).

    I offered to take my niece on a college visit in Buffalo and we decided to eat at Strong Hearts in Buffalo. The menu was nearly identical to the Syracuse location (which I frequent regularly). The seating area was cute and it was easy to get to from SUNY Buffalo State. The service was good and fast there were several other groups ordering and eating lunch around the same time. I deducted one star for the bread on the chicken parm sandwich is not nearly as good at this location! The other ingredients were good and nearly identical to the Syracuse SH version of this. My niece had the ciabatta BLT which she said was good and the bacon tasted real The apple cider milkshake was delicious as always. Thank you!

    Visiting from Charlotte and was hunting for vegan cafe and tried this, it was AMAZING - the food, the vibe, the service. Tried the cheesecake, strawberry and chocolate cupcake, vanilla iced latte and everything was more than what I expected. Definitely definitely recommend this place to all

    Super Protein Smoothie Autumn Quesadilla

    Good vegan flavors and textures. Creative menu items. Quesadilla lack of filling was disappointing & price quite high for the few ounces of filling but taste & texture was really good! Protein drink was nearly $8 & didn't list any macros but tasted good.

    Absolutely not. I order the peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. Uhmm no! Just no. It looked very pretty. I don't know but I would like to if they make these cheesecake in house. Anyway, all I can actually taste is oil. I tried the cheesecake three separate times. Each time the same nasty taste.i expected peanut butter but there was none. I don't know what that was but it was pretty bad and left an unruly aftertaste.

    Again another amazing lunch, 1 of my favorite places in buffalo, consistent every time. I can't get enough of their food! Good healthy vegan food that's more than just 'lettuce and mushrooms'. This place is next level and very inventive with their food.

    Strong Hearts is a top choice for vegan options here in Buffalo. One of my main struggles with most places that offer a vegan option is it is often just a Beyond Burger, or a salad (but hold the cheese!) - nothing that really offers creative ways to use vegetables or other plant based options. Strong Hearts does all of the above - creative alternatives, creative salads, plant based meat substitutes, and even vegan shakes and smoothies. Prices are reasonable, which is a huge bonus since so many places upcharge for vegan when by all accounts it should be less expensive, right? The environment is very welcoming, with a friendly, courteous staff every time we're in; couldn't ask for better in those regards. But wait! There's more! Their selections of vegan baked goods are out of this world! With an ever changing, wide variety of vegan cupcakes and pastries, there is absolutely something to satisfy every sweet tooth, and I dare you to tell me you can tell that they're vegan! In conclusion, you should have read everything above, but go there and make your own judgement. I will absolutely be looking forward to my next visit.

    Hot Cocoa Cupcake

    Consistently impressed by this place. Most recently I had the ciabatta blt (vegan ofc) and the macaroni salad. Took home the hot cocoa cupcake. Everything was SO. GOOD. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff too.

    Sooo let's just say I had no idea I lived a hop and a skip from this gem!! A friend treated me to lunch here. We ordered her fav from the menu, the Buffalo Mac N Cheese, completely vegan I might add in case you don't know this place was a vegan castle. I also ordered the strawberry banana smoothie. My tribe for both items, absolutely delicious. I literally can't wait to get back in there! The inside is so cute and well decorated. Perfect for a lunch date or a work session.

    The deserts were yummy! I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie, so good! I also got a a lavender lemon cupcake "delicious" & peanut butter & jelly cheesecake. The best part dairy-free. The service was fast we ordered to go. I love the ambiance, the menu was on a screen and if you're sitting in you can get a paper menu. The decor beautiful. I can't wait to go back to enjoy the food!

    Sweet Sassy Molassy, the BEST
    Sara S.

    Truly Syracuse's greatest export--so grateful we have this gem in Buffalo now. The very Buffalo flavored menu is fun, with "beef" on weck and "chicken" wings, but I can never turn down the Sweet Sassy Molassy sandwich. With a chocolate peanut butter banana shake, of course. Even if you're not vegan, you'll find something to love and will not miss the meat.

    Rueben, chicken parm, and nachos!

    Had a craving while visiting the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, and this popped up on Yelp as one…read moreof the best options for that around. They certainly had plenty of options! Massive menu of burgers, spanning a range of style from thick to smash, flames to griddle, and even typed of meat or non-meat. Quite frankly, if you can't find a burger that calls to you here, you must be very difficult to please. It was a Sunday, and the general area was thumping, this place was about half full and the vibe was relaxed. They're not on the absolutely main drag of Clifton Hill, and honestly, I would hope that benefits them both in price of rent and who might find it easy to wander in. There is paid parking nearby, cheaper than most because to get down to the falls is a bit of a hike. The hike back will be pretty far uphill, but we made it no problem. I love that the sodas come in a giant measuring cup, not much need for a refill, but they do give them complimentary if you ask for one. We started with standard poutine as an appetizer, it was really tasty. Nice flavor on the gravy, and a large amount of cheese curds. Instead of getting more fries as a side, went for a caesar salad. Was surprised to see bacon on it, but I definitely didn't hate that. It was quite good. I got a double smash burger with a nice thick onion ring on it and their version of burger sauce, as well as a spice relish to kick things up a notch. First thing, my patties were smashed very nicely, and there was a clear crispy crust on them. Bravo, I was pretty impressed, and the flavor was robust. I loved the spicy relish, and the bun also complemented the meat well. It was a big burger, and I was thoroughly satisfied. The service, maybe could have been slightly more attentive, but really just took awhile to take our order. Once it was taken, we had no complaints. Very friendly, everything was accurate, and like I said... big drink cups means not a ton of need for refills. I would come back here again on a future visit to the falls.

    A new location and a new look. Off The Wall Sandwich is a sparkling clean and colorful restaurant…read more With vibrant wall art, and striking lighting, the interior has an energetic vibe. This is a busy spot for classic American favorites: burgers, sandwiches and wings. From my previous experience, I knew it's worth checking the menu beforehand. For someone who is trying to make healthier choices, but not salad, this might be a good idea. I remember the last time I had the Classic Grilled Cheese Melt. This time, to avoid beef, bacon, or fried chicken, I decided to substitute a burger with grilled chicken breast for an additional $1. The Frenchie was my choice. I asked for the included Bison dip on the side and added Grilled Cremini Mushrooms for another $1. I simply couldn't find any ready-made combinations that suited my taste. All the burgers, melts and sandwiches come with your choice of fries or tater tots. We waited longer than expected for our food. The restaurant started filling up after we arrived. There were a lot of takeout orders while the dinner rush was starting. They should have a parallel system in the kitchen to keep the dining room moving at its own pace. Anyway, my sandwich was good. The chicken was perfectly grilled. The mushrooms and onions were flavorful, and the provolone cheese was melted and delicious. It's good that I asked to have the Bison dip on the side. We enjoyed the mountain of fries and onion rings (we really liked the breading on the onion rings). The Mac and Cheese was basic, but classic and very tasty. Unfortunately, our feedback on the Steak Hoagie was not so good. It wasn't as expected - a juicy, Buffalo-style, meat and cheese sub. My partner said that too much spice rub made the sandwich salty and dry. It wasn't the experience of dripping, shaved steak covered with lots of melted cheese, grilled peppers and onions. There was none of it. It was dry, smallish and disappointing. Our server Kimora took good care of us. She was smiling, and made our stay very pleasant.
