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 a great location for a coffee date.

I desperately want to love Shaka Farm To Beach because this is exactly the type of place I want to…read moreeat. A place where the food is wholesome, nutritious, delicious, and served in right sized portions. Sure, it's a little more expensive. Real food costs more than foodservice grade commodities. But it's worth it. The restaurant-cafe itself is super cute. There is an outside patio. If you can find a spot, there is even an adjacent parking lot, which is rare in this beachside town. Shaka's menu is quite diverse for its small space, offering lunch sandwiches, salads, savory bowls, sweet smoothie bows, avocado toasts, and even sushi. If you are craving kombucha, Shaka has your back, or if you need a double espresso to get you through they have that too. Amazingly, the varied menu hangs together remarkably well. I went with a grilled sandwich and my better half got a poke bowl. Where things fell short were speed of service, execution, and quality control. Even though this is a counter service operation, food is cooked and prepared to order, so I was expecting a wait. Still, our wait was excruciatingly long. We arrived with two other couples who ordered first, and by the time our food arrived, our friends had completed their dishes. It was also obvious that our friends were eating slower than usual to try and help close the gap, but to no avail. When the food did arrive, my Italian Job sandwich, advertised to be "toasted to perfection" was grilled beautifully on the top. However, the bottom piece of the sandwich had been burned. The kitchen cleverly put the "presentation side" up. But that also means they saw the burned grilled bread, and decided to serve it anyway. Maybe that decision was driven by the fact the order had already taken so long to bring to the table? But whatever the case, it speaks to a level of quality control and integrity that left me hanging. Yes, when food is made by hand by fallible human beings, mistakes can happen. The important thing is to acknowledge those mistakes and take responsibility for them, instead of trying to pass off a substandard effort and hoping it goes unnoticed. If our friends had not been waiting so long for our food to arrive, I would certainly have brought this up to the staff in the moment. Instead, I simply ate my half burned sandwich thinking about how much better it could have been. Even it ints substandard state, it was tasty, filling, and wholesome. Should I ever find myself back at Crystal Beach during the season when Shaka is open, I would certainly give this place another shot. But I might skip the grilled sandwich and go for one of the quinoa power bowls. N.B. Hours are limited and this is a seasonal business so double check before heading out.

Super delicious smoothies, the one I got (Not into Yoga) wasn't too sweet which is perfect since I'm a T1D.

I felt there was a bit too much glaze, but overall super yummy. Both workers were friendly, and fabulous.

The location makes sense as the residents of Williamsville are generally well-educated and worldly enough to appreciate authentic Yemeni cuisine; the same cannot be said for most of Buffalo suburbs, unfortunately, so I'm grateful the Buffalo metro now has one. Ordered the Qamaria latte, traditionally-spiced with cinnamon and cardamom. The spice notes were potent, but not at all overpowering and the beverage remained balanced. Had a chicken malawach as well; flaky and savory, and also well-spiced. It was a bit greasy which was the only regrettable thing about the experience, but not extremely and it didn't compromise the flavor or texture. The dining room itself was clean and elegantly decorated with Arabian and Gulf motifs, and the staff were friendly and helpful when my mother had questions about the menu. (I give any practicing Muslim props for working in food service while fasting during Ramadan.) All and all, grateful they're part of the community; I just hope they don't overexpand and sacrifice quality for quantity like many others.
