Their hours are limited. I bought a bag of their beans as a gift for a friend in California and I heard great things. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the Lockport area.

TrueBean tickles my tastebuds in a different way. The flavors are complex yet smooth and I haven't met a roast I didn't like. My favorite is the Tanzania Peaberry. The art on the bags is gorgeous as well and created by the roaster/owner, Jason. Grab a cup at the Lockport Community Market, The Lock Keeper Coffee House, or on their website. Do it!

The coffee was excellent, and the pastries were just as impressive (definitely hard to pick just one).

I live in the Lockport area and had been looking for a solid specialty coffee shop that wasn't a…read moredrive to Buffalo. Found Gypsy Kitchen on Transit Road, I mean to make a habit of going there often from here on out. The coffee is legit. They clearly know what they're doing with espresso. Also grabbed a bite to eat -- food is fresh, not an afterthought. The space is comfortable without being pretentious. Good seating, good light, not loud. I've worked remotely from here, met up with people, and just sat solo -- all work. Free wifi, easy parking, the whole thing. Open Tuesday through Saturday which works fine for me. Staff is friendly every single time, remembers regulars, doesn't rush you out. If you're in Lockport, Niagara Falls, or anywhere in WNY and searching for a local coffee shop that's actually worth it -- this is the answer. Not a chain, not a compromise. Just really good coffee in a spot that feels like it belongs to the neighborhood. One of the better finds in Western New York honestly.

Eventually the secret will get out about this place and none of us "in the know" will be able to…read morefind a table. This was my first visit and I'm ready to become their next regular. The best way I can describe this restaurant is that it gives you a feeling of community. It was clear to me I was dining with a bunch of regulars since one of the people at the table next to me walked up and grabbed a can of pop from the refrigerator behind the counter, cracked it open and told Diane to add it to her ticket. Another guy at a different table got up and served himself coffee. I noticed someone else walking out from behind the bar when we walked in. I'm not sure what she was doing, but apparently it's understood when you're a regular that you're also family. I had a soup and my friend who was with me had a BLT. We were both extremely happy with our food and service. We grabbed a table near the door when we first walked in because I like to sit on the perimeter my first time visiting a place. I like to take in everything, and this place does not disappoint. Take a look at my photos to see how little I had to pay for good food and quality service. Truth be told, I was out looking at houses before taking a break at Cousin's. If I didn't want to move to Lockport before, I sure as heck want to now! Heck, I may even stop in and ask Diane for a job. The dish washer did not show up for work the day we were there, so she was pulling double duty. I'm not sure if she has someone else cooking or not, so maybe triple duty! Once word gets out about how great and affordable this place is, she'll be needing the help. Or like me, all the new people will feel instantly like family and just pitch in where needed.

There is a wide variety of bagels to pick from, after that you pick your schmear. I went for the cheddar bagel with a hot cherry pimento cream cheese. Wonderful. The bagel is very good with a nice topping of cheddar and the schmear was really, really good. It had little spicy pieces in it, so every bit was a surprise. Sometimes creamy, sometimes with a little kick. I guess we found a great stop for our longer bike rides. Almost forgot: they make a great cappuccino too with a nice and foamy top. Wonderful.

If Nate serves me food at this Cafe, then I've been Cafe-Nated…read more This is a little restaurant inside Tops that serves buffet food and dishes of the day and they're not even too bad. They're not technically a separate business to Tops, but they're a food place within Tops, and since Wegmans is creating their own listings for their Market Cafe, Tops deserves one too. Wegmans is way more extensive and all over the map but the quality is not great at all regardless of locals with bad taste raving about it. As for the Tops version? They're not great either - very band American-style cooking - but at least they're making the effort and at least it's freshly made. Don't come here for healthy stuff or be fooled by the calorie information. It's all pseudoscience, eating this crap is simply bad for you. The only things you should be eating are nuts, seeds, fruits, veggies, and drinking lots of spring water. Anything else you're putting in yourself is bad, so don't kid yourself or bother counting calories. None of these things are very good for you and nothing will rock your world - unless you have bad taste in food - but it's not disgusting like Denny's or Ihop and I do appreciate that.
