Don't let the outdoor décor fool you -- once you step inside, you're greeted with a super pleasant retro-chic vibe and plenty of cozy seating. The space is spotless, welcoming, and filled with fun art and quirky political décor that gives it a lot of personality. The service is excellent -- friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. It's a fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch, especially if you like places that do something a little different. Their breakfast sandwich combinations are really creative, and the coffee menu is just as fun with unique options you don't see everywhere. Everything came out quickly and tasted great. Overall, such a charming and inviting place -- definitely worth stopping in. This spot will not disappoint! read more

I walked in and the artist "medium build" was playing. I knew right away I was going to like this place A LOT.The vibe is comfy and enough room to separate if there is a section being loud. My bagel was Perfect. A little chewy and a nice crunch. Just how i like it . I really enjoy fun cream cheese so this was a winner having the blueberry lemon! Would come again to try the revolving cream cheeses !! read more

At least once a year, my husband and I get out to Undergrounds Coffee. It is a unique and wonderful space. They have St. Patrick's drinks available and I ordered the Irish one and Phil got the thin mint one. I tasted both and they were equally wonderful, but I stuck with what I ordered. Great flavor. We also bought a bag of their Golden Girls whole bean coffee for home. The murals in the bathroom are elite. One day, we will get here for breakfast because the full menu looks great. read more

This place is awesome! Best breakfast Sandwich I've had in a long time. I was a little sad it was deli ham instead of carved for a $10 sandwich but once I started eating it, life was good. I do find the coffee to be a little more bitter than I typically like and prices are pretty high, but every single little detail of the concept of this place would keep me coming back. Its a large sitting area both Infront and in back. The mug club concept is absolutely awesome and if I didn't live half an hour away, you better believe I would be signing up! read more

The parking is a little tough if it is busy since the lot is tight and there isn't a lot of parking. I got a salted caramel dark hot chocolate which is seasonal. It was good and if you like hot chocolate I would recommend it. I don't like my drinks too hot and after like 10 minutes it was cold to me. The vibe is really neat, there's a lot of art on the walls. There are also plenty of seating available in different sections so if you wanted to have a meeting you could. They also have a couple community boards which is nice. read more

I placed a to go order, so I can't really speak to the staff or the atmosphere of this place, but for how expensive it was (about $30 for two breakfast sandwiches), I expected better. I was so excited to try the breakfast sandwich with that chipotle apricot jam but was disappointed. It wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. My fiancée ordered the Tim Russert, and that was pretty good, but the roll was a little dry. I'd still try this place for coffee, but it just wasn't my favorite for breakfast sandwiches. read more

I enjoyed a quick bite for breakfast here yesterday. They open very early, which is great if you have to work at an early hour like myself. The staff members were attentive and friendly. my order was ready quickly, which I appreciated. I tried an iced lavender latte and the Colonel Francisco bagel sandwich. The latte was delicious and not too sweet. They have several flavor options to choose from. The sandwich was also really good. I enjoyed the chipotle apricot spread to complement the sausage, egg, and cheese. The bagel itself was fresh and soft. The shop has a cute vibe inside with some seating available. read more

Come here for the great atmosphere, service, and delicious food. We came to dine in for breakfast and had a good experience overall. Food was delicious and was ready in a reasonable amount of time, and every staff member I interacted with was polite. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because for a dine in restaurant, I was surprised that no one was walking around to wipe down the tables. read more

Since today's event had to be rescheduled we needed to find another new spot for coffee and this was it! The year is closing out and we have to check off as many spots in our Buffalo brews and booze passport so we chose this one lol I was so torn between getting what I know and trying something new but let me just say this - TURTLE MACCHIATO. OMG. I want to go back now and try it hot but iced was absolutely perfect! I grabbed one of the oatmeal cookies, which was good and moist also, and decided on the Ralph Wilson breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage. Not a single thing was disappointing! Definitely going back, kudos to the staff! Oh! There's also a ton of decor, merch and you can join a brewing club of sorts where you get to use one of the exclusive mugs! Don't forget to grab a loyalty card at the register! read more

Such a cool and unique place. I love the quirky decor and that there's local artists work you can purchase. The coffee is great, smooth and medium bodied. Love a place with dairy free options like oat or almond milk. They get pretty busy so don't expect a quick in and out of you're in a rush read more

Omg can I give 6 stars?? This place has it all! My breakfast sandwich was delicious and filling. I could only eat half and saved the rest. I also ordered a caramel latte that was delicious!! They have a little shop area with cute items and coffee pods, etc. Loved the custom member mug area with all the stars and singers. Cozy decor, cute sugar skull and jazz vibes!! Everyone was friendly as well and food came out fast. read more

A really neat spot with some fun breakfast options. I got the Ralph Wilson which was a very good basic breakfast sandwich. My fiancé got the Tim Russert which is a breakfast sandwich on a cinnamon roll, which was an ideal combo for him. The only thing he didn't love about his sandwich was that the bacon was not very crispy at all. He actually ended up just picking off the bacon which made it better. Food came out very quickly and was hot. Staff is friendly. Plenty of space to sit down to dine in if you desire. We'll certainly come back here! read more

On a Fall morning when you've got a long drive ahead of you, sometimes you just need a breakfast sandwich and a dream. I settled for the sandwich, coffee, and great company. This was my first time trying Undergrounds and I am very happy with it. I ordered the Ralph Wilson which was an egg and cheese on my choice of an everything bagel. The cheese and egg were perfectly melted together on the bagel. The bagel wasn't the most toasted and I would've liked it just a bit more but still great! The shop itself is a great building and is very clean and welcoming. It was also great to mobile order ahead and just be able to go pick it up. That came in handy on my road trip that morning. Overall, I will definitely be going back and trying many more things here! read more

Coffee place with lots of choices and service is fast and ambiance is quiet, some jazz music playing in the background. Great place to study and concentrate or just catch up with someone and enjoy great food and a cup of coffee.

This is a neat spot! They offer a roastery club where you can have a one of a kind hand crafted mug made for your fav deceased celeb. You'll see the wall of mugs along the wall. I ordered the Colonel Francisco, which was a breakfast bagel with a chipotle apricot spread. The spread was delicious!! Added tons of flavor to what would have been your basic breakfast sandwich. They offer a full menu of coffee, teas and lattes. I ordered from the apple pie latte, which was amazing. I would definitely go back, as they were fairly priced and had a bunch of different options to choose from, from both the drink and food menu read more

I have heard about this place for years and finally made my way here one Saturday morning for breakfast with a couple girlfriends. I am mad at myself for depriving myself of this place for so long - don't walk, run here! I had an iced chai tea latte with oat milk - fantastic. Next time I think I'll try one of their more unique latte options though - so much to try! And the breakfast sandwich was one of the best I've had in buffalo. No exaggeration. It congealed so perfectly together and every bite was perfection. The staff was super friendly and had great recommendations for us. And the entire shop itself was so cute and homey. We only stayed for breakfast but I feel like it'd be the perfect spot to bring a book or my laptop when I'm working from home! read more

We stopped here on our way to Canada. Coffee was pretty good but service was kind of weird. We told the employee it was our first time there and she instantly said, we close in 20 minutes. I figured this would have prompted her to welcome us or suggest a favorite menu item. So we ordered and quickly went on our way. It looks like it could be a nice place to work from during the day or meet a friend. read more

My favorite First Ward destination. All of their food has been delicious. I love their sandwiches (especially the Colonel Francisco) their steel cut oats, yogurt parfaits, and frozen cold coffee fusions (my go-to is the hazelnut one) Their unique flower-skull aesthetic fits well in the old funeral home they moved into. It's a great place to study, meet up, or just grab food to go. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. read more

Cool coffeeshop with a lot of interesting food options. Came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. So so so many choices of sandwiches to decipher with their involved names... after looking at the menu at the wall for a few minutes I ordered the special hanging above the cashier and a latte cause I couldn't pick anything else haha. I had the bagel with egg, bacon and fig sauce. My mom had the Dutch Smuggler - a sandwich that had cheese, apple and some kind of dill and cucumbers on it. I though both sandwiches were interesting combinations. I didn't love that my egg was not a freshly made egg, rather an egg patty. Latte was decent. read more

My friend had told me about this hip, chill, vibe former converted funeral home into a coffee house. The atmosphere was relaxing, and did certainly pay tribute to awesome people in a unique way. They even have a roastery coffee club, merchandise, signature coffee/latte drinks, and offer gluten and are vegan friendly. The inside has two seating areas, but is limited right now due to the pandemic. Its recommended to order online, their app or at the location. The staff were friendly and didn't mind me asking the one question that puzzled my mind: how long it operated as a funeral home,the staff and my friend confirmed since the 1970s ,with two different owners, prior to rezoning for the coffee house. The Alfreed Peet was beyond hearty and bursting with flavors and my favorite breakfast sandwich. For an additional charge you can customize any of their sandwiches. Great atmosphere, energy and perfect place to meet friends , enjoyed my first experience here. read more

I don't think this place needed another positive Yelp review but here we are. First thing that pops out to me - prices are VERY low for the quality of food and drink. These breakfast sandwiches and fancy coffee beverages would be double the $ at other local establishments. My iced caramel latte and Colonel Francisco sandwich hit the spot. Truly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The chipotle apricot spread was a funky, sweet & spicy kick that I was not expecting so early in the AM. Flavor for days. read more

I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel, an everything bagel with just egg, and a Nutella flavored iced macchiato. Everything was perfectly made and in a fast, efficient manner. Lastly, the eclectic gift options available were some of the best I have seen! This is a must for anyone in the Buffalo area. read more

My wife and I enjoy visiting unique coffee shops as we travel to various US cities. Probably our favorite is Undergrounds on Park Ave in Buffalo. It is built at the site of a funeral parlor and celebrates that culture. They also have some of the best specialty coffee that I have experienced which is roasted on site along with good food. Highly recommended. read more

Some family and I went kayaking from South Buffalo to River Works and back on a beautiful Sunday morning and paddled up an appetite for breakfast. They told me I needed to try one of Undergrounds Coffee House and Roastery's breakfast sandwiches and were they right! We arrived around 11am on a beautiful Sunday morning and parked on the street. Walking up to the entrance, we saw a few tables outside as well as plenty more inside. Walking up to the counter to place our order, I was really surprised with how large their food and drink menu was for what seemed like a small operation. The crew working was bustling, doing a nice job making and putting out orders. After placing and paying, we had to wait by the counter for our name to be called to pick up our order. It took a few minutes, but they were making everything to order so we didn't mind at all. Once we had our breakfasts, we grabbed a table outside and enjoyed each other's company and people-watching. When we were ready to go, we had to bring our metal trays back inside for the crew to wash and re-use. For breakfast, I ordered a medium coffee with almond milk and The Colonel Francisco breakfast sandwich, which was egg, sausage, pepper jack cheese, house-made apricot chipotle spread, sandwiched in a toasted asiago bagel. The coffee was excellent, I could taste the extra attention they put into making it - I probably didn't need to add almond milk to it as there was plenty of flavor already. My breakfast sandwich though was excellent! The star of this sandwich was the apricot chipotle spread, I nice hint of spice, rich and creamy, full of flavor. I would love to try that on some of the proteins I have for dinner at home... The asiago bagel was great too, really enjoyed the flavor and it wasn't too "bready" and chewy. The size of the sandwich too was great with plenty of "fillings" and plenty of cheese. I very much appreciated the generous amount of apricot chipotle spread on both the top and bottom of the bagel. I've seen Undergrounds Coffee House and Roastery on Yelp before but never realized where they were (they're actually across the street from one of the better Buffalo pizza places - Carbone's!). I enjoyed the atmosphere and thought the coffee and food were great! If I get the opportunity to go kayaking around here again, I'll definitely push to come back for another cup of coffee and sandwich. The glutton in me needs to try The Tim Russert... :) read more

The Alfred Peet Breakfast Sandwich and Americano Coffee was delicious! Thanks Undergrounds Coffee House for a fantastic first experience!! From ordering to sitting and meeting some cool people to the delicious food and coffee I had a fabulous time! I'll be back! My friend Jamie and I had a great morning! I can't wait to come back for more coffee and to try another sandwich! I also bought a vegan gluten free oatmeal cookie to take home to my husband - he said it's really yummy! And it's very large - well worth the $2.95. In fact, this place is very affordable for what you get - I had a large Americano, the breakfast sandwich and the cookie - the total with tip was $13.50! I also had the pleasure of meeting Sam who gave us a little history on the place and shared her favorite picks off the menu. I adore the Day of the Dead motif and that this building was a funeral home not to mention the support of local artists with their work for sale - love that. I hope they're a continuing success and that they can open a Northtowns location! read more

This place is crack! The coffee is delicious. I love the seasonal flavored drinks they make. The breakfast sandwiches make you forget you should eat lunch. I love that they have so many options for everyone. Gluten free? They got you. Vegan? They got you. Lactose intolerant? They got oat and almond milk for that. I mainly love that whatever I get, I never feel like crap after. The nicest people work there too. You can tell they enjoy their job. There's a good amount of seating space if you want to hang out and eat in. If you haven't been here I highly suggest checking them out! read more

Love love love Undergrounds. They have the most unique setup! In their "past life", the building was a funeral home. They opened as a coffee shop not too long ago and kept the vibe by the name of the place, offering a mug club with images of celebs that have passed away, and the designs/artwork. My favorite coffee is the Kenya pour over. My favorite sammie is the Teddy Roosevelt. They also carry baked goods from local business Blue-Eyed Baker - their scones are the sh!t. Just before covid, they came out with their online ordering app. Thank goodness! And they have stayed open during this shutdown (reduced hours), but, as an essential worker, they've been the only place I can count on to grab a coffee. They're location is convenient and right off the thruway. Parking is a bit of a struggle with their small lot but I can usually find space in there or on the street. Be sure to grab a punch card if you're a repeat customer - I'm sure you will be! The inside has a lot of space if you're the type that likes to work, read or chill in the dining area. Also a great meeting place for interviews, work/group meetings, etc. read more

Comfortable and great breakfast bowls. Better coffee than star*#cks and supporting local!

Undergrounds Coffee is a pretty hip place in the first ward and near the Larkin district. This makes for a pretty diverse clientele, which is cool. Their food choices seem *bomb* with tons of bagel sandwiches and breakfast bowls (I've only had the oatmeal) and they have nitro cold brew/kombucha on tap. Their chai latte is one of the best in town. What's also great is that it's women-owned! The roastery club also seems like a good deal. I'm loving the death theme and gorgeous artwork, but what's with the sugar skulls? And they're plastered all over t-shirts? I'm assuming that the owners aren't Mexican, so what gives? The día de los muertos skull is a sacred, religious symbol that has survived centuries of colonization. I'm not knocking Underground's appreciation of it, but the commodification is off (when it's on t-shirts and mugs, other products that they sell).... But still, they're a small business so... I don't know what to think? It would be great if they could put up some sort of educational sign about día de los muertos and the significance of these skulls to show their appreciation of that culture. It's not the kind of cultural appropriation that would make me stop coming here as the lines are always blurry, but it's just weird as things are set up right now. read more

As it is a former funeral parlor - all items are titled after famous dead people (makes sense as if they named them after unfamous folks it would be half as interesting I suppose lol!) Aside from the charm this place is legit amazing! I'm still full from the breakfast bowl!!!! Two people could def eat from this bowl - I needed two hands to carry it to the table, no lie. The breakfast sammy lives up to he hype - huge and tasty! Cookies are daring you to try them and frankly take that dare - moist and delish. I loved it - wait was 25 for the food so order ahead for pickup if you meed it asap - but the coffee is worth the relaxed sippin'. read more
