The oldest coffee store in Buffalo is not a chain coffee outlet. It has delicious pastries, quaint old-world Europey decor, old Hollywood movies playing on a mounted TV screen and delicious drink options (flavor shots, hot coffee etc). It's also a good place to shelter oneself after a walk down uber hipster Elmwood Avenue. It's technically connected to local bookstore Talking Leaves, which has an excellent book selection curated for the contemporary reader. A favorite of local intellectuals and college students. Spot a local professor here and start a soul-awakening conversation. I dare you.

Family friendly, laid back, famous for starters like bread and the 'bloomin onion'. Steak options are affordable and it's a nice, quiet place near the apartment for guests to sit down at after a long tour of the Falls in the daytime.
