Pistachio Latte and Strawberry Matcha
Kaylee B.

Drinks were good, when asked about recommendations I was met with less than helpful response from the lady working. The service otherwise was quick. They have a very comfortable area to sit and enjoy your drinks which makes the space very relaxing.

passionfruit green tea, with double boba
Lynn P.

This is my favorite boba place in the city of buffalo and I come here pretty much every week/every other week. First off, the staff are very friendly. They remember my name, my order, and the fact that I order double boba with everything. The tea is really fresh, and they have a variety of flavors that you can add. This is a cute little spot that is perfect for studying or just hanging out in general. Parking is a little tricky and limited because of street parking, but it's really worth the walk :)

Right here.

Super comfy spot with fast service! Got the pistachio latte and it was very good. They have lots of seating so my friends and I got to hang out and play jenga. Easy parking across the street. Looks fancy but also family owned. Cute spot.

The inside of the tea house is very large and has plenty of places to sit and relax while eating/drinking. They have a large variety of choices of drinks from hot or cold. My favorite is the Kashmirie chai tea which is a beautiful pink color. They have a couple small dessert options for sale. The service is fast and all the drinks are carefully made to order.

Game time!

Out and about and needed a quick warm up, this spot came up in the search and it was perfect! There's a nice variety of drinks and desserts to choose from so obviously I'm gonna have to go back and try some of the teas and other lattes lol. Oh! not only that but they have games and little lounge areas as well. This is just what downtown needs and I'm glad we stumbled upon it!

Enjoyed a cup of tea with friends here. Unique selection of teas. There was an art show going on the day I was there so it was quite busy. There were areas with tables and chairs, couches and lots of space. Service was good. They had homemade Pop-Tarts and other amazing desserts. There was one that we tried with honey all over it and it was delicious! Free parking is a little difficult as is right in the Chippewa district.

Cinnamon Almond latte

The service was great! The ambiance is chill great to study & enjoy some tea or coffee, I didn't taste the snacks but they sure looked scrumptious. I just wasn't in the mood for baked goods. I definitely would come back for the great quiet vibes!

The vibes be vibing in this cafe. Really cozy atmosphere and spacious place with quite a few seating options around the entire cafe including the bar style seating, and giant bean bags. Also a large selection of board & card games. Music volume not too loud. Reasonable prices with good menu options. Haven't tried their other drinks & pastries yet, but the iced strawberry matcha that me and my partner ordered.. IT WAS AMAZING!!! The guy in the counter is friendly and accommodating, treated us like regulars. Delighted we stopped by and ended up staying longer playing cards. We can't wait go back. Great place for unwinding, studying or catching up with friends. If you're reading this, check this place out.

My daughter wanted Boba and we were in the downtown area already so I told her to find a Boba spot close by and The OTH populated. Well, long story short, it was worth it. That spot is a place to decompress and get away from whatever and whoever! The ambience was indescribable! You have to see for yourself! Have a cup of REAL coffee and this dessert that decadent cannot describe! Try the caramel Tres-leChe! Keep it up OTH, you will go places!!!!

Chocolate Dubai cake

Amazing legit masala chai! The best I've had in the States. I also got the Dubai chocolate cake which was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try a different chai.

Seven Hearts Coffee

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.

This is one of our go to lunch places and if you order online you can skip the wait when you arrive. Employees are great and always helpful and courteous. Also if you order online you receive emails and texts for discounts on your next order. Always support local businesses especially downtown. They are a keeper and return worthy.

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.

Wow, what a delight! We were visiting for the Falls and decided to get some work done in the…read moreevening and we picked this place out of the multiple coffee places in the area. So glad we did. Such nice, pleasant service; really patient staff and really helpful (reheated our coffee when it cooled and even reset the modem for the wifi when we couldn't connect). The place itself was really nice, loved sitting in the cozy couch area while working. They brought out our order on a little trays which felt very indulgent, I really enjoyed that lol. And that's all before i even got to the food and drink! Really loved my latte, and the honeycomb pastry omg...... so delicious. Heated up and drizzled with honey, maybe one of the best things I've had in a while. We also got a Dubai chocolate cheesecake and a chicken puff pastry thing which were both quite good. Also got a dragonfruit mango refresher which was just okay, and the price was a bit steep but it was a great experience altogether!

I have tried a few of their drinks too and they are decent. The place is a counter service so you order at the counter and they bring your food to your table.
