    Exit to patio

    Now this is an experience and a coffee shop worthy of a drive. So many cool things to take in. Location. Location. Location. 5 stars for a coffee shop location that's nestled in the eclectic and quaint town of Buffalo Ambiance 5 - this coffee shop has great rooftop views of the lake. Can anything be more Minnesotan? Why yes it can. It also has the coolest small town vibe. It houses a bookstore jam packed with awesome finds and great reads. This is what makes MN cool. Cool down to earth finds like this coffee shop. Drinks 5 - then there's the coffee. Don't know what was more impressive the monster sized coffee menu or the cool names for their unique coffee drinks. Loved it all. The names, the flavors, the coffee Service 5 - fast and efficient

    What a cute little place to visit! They had so many choices of lattes and coffees and were reasonably priced. We sat on the rooftop patio and enjoyed the lake views while sipping our tasty drinks.

    A very nice book selection. They have excellent coffee. I enjoy drinking my coffee on the roof with a beautiful view of the City Of Buffalo.

    I'm not often in Buffalo, but when I am, I stop by at Buffalo Books & Coffee. Seriously good lattes and ambiance to match!

    Limited indoor seating but the rooftop patio overlooking the lake is amazing!

    Very well curated selection. All the other positives in the other reviews here are true!read more

    Weird and wonderful, eclectic selection of used books in a pocket-sized space. The first book that…read morecaught my eye was a book in French about China. My husband saw a book about making soymilk and a graphic introduction to Derrida directly opposite. How many bookstores can give you that kind of experience? It's the kind of store where you will find your college reading list (words of one fellow customer). Or that old cookbook that your Mom used to have. That random book your college friend told you about but you never bothered to pick up. A classic graphic novel that your art class peers recommended. You won't find everything you ever wanted to read, but there's a good chance you will find something that you didn't know you wanted to read. The store is a real community effort. One of the owner's friends happened to be there, and said that the owner had another store-full of books in his house. He had been collecting books over 15-20 years, carefully curating them for just this time. The shelves were made with brackets from a local department store that was closing. The owner's brother made the beautiful book cases on the floor. We found this place by chance looking for something to do Christmas day. In the spirit of the bookstore name, they had Jewish trivia, bagels, and mimosas. Some other people trickled in for the trivia, others did kind of float in and browse the books. We gathered around a small table toward the front and had a blast. The store was closing up soon after our trivia game ended, so I'll be back at some other time when it's warmer. A great addition to the neighborhood!
