Truly have limited experience here, Ive popped in briefly for a quick grab here and there but I have ordered food occasionally from one of the delivery apps. I could argue this is one of the best breakfast sandwiches in Buffalo! Egg, cheese and protein on a Costanza's hard roll is all I need. read more

This is the first review I've written in years, but I needed to say it because other customers should be prepared for what they may encounter at this business. From 2020 on we used to get food, snacks, beer and other stuff here very regularly...like three times a day sometimes. We got dinner from here at least three times a week and we loved it. At some point a new owner took over and a lot things went downhill. We eventually had to stop going there all together because of all the mistakes and lack of accountability. We recently tried them again and was happy with the food. Well, that was short lived. The last three times we've placed an order online it hasn't even been started by the time they said it would be ready and we have to wait. In addition to that, it has been totally wrong with missing items each time. It happened again this morning, our order was missing two orders of hash browns. I called the listed number in an attempt to get a refund (because this is the third time and it's adding up) and it's off the hook, busy signal. This isn't new. The kitchen literally takes the phone receiver off the cradle so that they won't receive phone orders. My husband has witnessed it in person. Apparently they don't want to cook. Since the renovation the phone is digital, but they still turn it off. This has been happening since the new owner took over and he won't do anything about it. This is strange to me. Doesn't he want business? Anyways, sorry for the long review. We can't get food here anymore (again) because times are rough (again again) and I'm not going to buy from a shop that won't refund for wrongly prepared or even completely missing items. Bye Elmwood Market (AGAIN, out of chances)! read more

One of the worst foods I have ever tried! I didn't know food could be THIS bad, wow first off it's in a very bad area, I heard buffalo is bad but this is beyond, I didn't feel safe at all, people were blocking the drive way then cussing at us for trying to park. Got some sandwiches, a hamburger, beef on weck and a grilled chicken sandwich, I couldn't even eat the chicken Sandwich, it was old chewy dry tasteless boiled chicken, smelt like turkey and rosemary but omg no, that was so wrong on so many levels. The beef on weck was just warmed up lunch meat, I picked this place cuz it was pretty cheap, I know why now. I will never come back, disgusting. read more

I ordered online today to get a chicken finger wrap with fries and a pop for myself and a chicken finger sub for my coworker. The online ordering process was easy. The service was good, when I got there. We both enjoyed our food. The wrap by itself was very good. The fries were crispy and good. The he drink part of the combo menu is a can of pop from their cooler. This place is a regular small grocery store with regular kinds of grocery foods but you can also order food here at the counter or online. They also have breakfast sandwich deals in the morning. I can't wait to try those out!!! read more

I'm currently on a quest to find the perfect breakfast sandwich, specifically a bacon egg and cheese bagel. This would have been a 10/10 if the bagel was fresh made but I believe it was just the regular kind that come in 6 pack at the grocery store. Still super, super great and almost perfect in my opinion - nice amount of ingredients seeing as that is usually the issue I have. The wait was short despite them being busy on a Sunday. Prices are very fair and I think their menu is great. Very much a NYC deli vibe read more

Great spot for quick food, no real complaints. I live like 4 steps from this place so its always a good choice for me. Lots of options, nice menu, great prices. I posted pictures of breakfast that I've had from here a few times. Not the best breakfast sandwich I've had, but not bad either. The hashbrown is a little small but nothing really bothersome. Their subs are great though. I've ordered a few times, wish I took some pictures. Really good quality for a low price. Friendly and professional staff, clean and organized store. Like a really upscale corner store. I definitely recommend a stop inside. read more

Elmwood Market is just a bit down the street from me and has some of the best takeout food anywhere in Buffalo. The entirety of their personnel, from the cash out staff, to the chefs, to the owner who quite often makes appearances is always of a friendly and amiable disposition. My personal tastes say that they're fries are excellent. I love their cheeseburgers and especially the bacon cheeseburger sub. My experience tells me that other menu items can only be every bit as delicious and affordable even during these times of ours. I would say that even if you're not very close to the corner of Elmwood and North, try to make an effort to try them just once and I just about be willing to wager that you'd make them a regular. One last thing, in the interest of impartiality, I think it's fair for me to say that ordinary retail items such as snack items that can be purchased anywhere can tend to be pricey. But their takeout is the point. read more

This place is simply amazing. I live nearby and grab a breakfast sandwich here as often as I can. The people behind the counter are amazing as well and are always so kind and courteous to me. Definitely a huge recommendation for anyone in the area! read more

Corner stores and Bodegas are not just a place for playing your numbers, buying snacks and a pack of cigarettes (eww). Authentic bodegas serve as pillars for nurturing communities, celebrating each neighborhoods' cultural footprints and encouraging human synergy. Some of the products might seem a little pricey here but I can say most, if not all of the convenience goods are still cheaper here then they would be at your local Walgreens, 7/11 or closest gas station. And I also know all the food/product at the Elmwood Market is guaranteed fresh (ehem Price Rite), so to each their own. The staff is really friendly you'll most likely be on a first-name basis with a few. They pay great attention to detail, I'm almost sure they know my order by heart now. But I'm going, to be honest; the main reason why I am leaving this review is because of the food. The menu here is pretty extensive, its 3 pages long front to back so I haven't had the chance to try every single dish but I can highlight my favorites. Everyone loves a good sandwich especially a good BEC. Translation: BaconEggCheese (and occasionally a hash brown). And if you aren't already familiar with the terminology, I shame you and I'm judging! The Elmwood Market has a hefty sandwich without being too outrageous with buttered eggs and a nice amount of cheese oozing out the sides. The Chicken Souvlaki Melt combo is accompanied by french fries and a dill pickle (unless you order the sandwich specifically then you will only get the melt alone). The sandwich consists of souvlaki chicken, feta, peppers, and onions. It's always golden-brown and toasted to perfection. And I love the fact that they let you pick your grain (I always put mines on rye). I often find myself mostly full after the first half of the sandwich but I usually manage to eat the pickle spear and one or two of the French fries. The sandwich itself (only $6.85) is filling and satisfies my cravings. The cold cuts have great structure, flavor, and are sturdy enough to hold all of your toppings, which is important because who on earth wants a soggy sub?! They also have the right balance of meat, cheese, vegetables, and bread. Which seems simple but it is surprisingly hard to come by. The sub is ingeniously composed and perfectly seasoned with every bite. They also have a chicken finger dinner for $10.99 and before you even say it I already know what you're thinking. I get it, chicken fingers are typically dubbed a kids meal but hear me out... The size of these fingers will give you the green-light you needed to eat them guilt-free as an adult. This meal also comes with fries and a roll. read more

Love the Elmwood Market! I've been going here for years and the staff is super friendly and helpful. They pretty much have everything you would expect from a corner store and then some more. They have a kitchen that offers delicious breakfast sandwiches, hot and cold subs, and some dinner specials like fried fish, fried shrimp, chicken finger etc. They also have a mini Tim Hortons inside, which is quite convenient for the neighborhood. I have only had their breakfast sandwiches. They are delicious!! I usually get mine with pepperjack cheese. You can also add hash browns to the sandwich(yum!). A lot of people in the area go to this store so be prepared for a small queue. read more

Elmwood Market - Bacon, egg and pepperjack with hashbrowns - Grocery Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This was my first time trying this spot for cooked food, it's also a corner store. I think it's like the same thing as Colvin Market and Al's corner store, or they are just very similar. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich combo and the sandwich did not have much flavor, fries were good and it came with a can of pop. I think I'll stick to Joe's deli for chicken salad sandwiches, but I would go back and try something different from here because they have a lot of others things on the menu that others have said is good. They also have a wide variety of grab and go options for convenience. read more

They used to get ALL OF MY COINS when I lived in Allentown. Every week, or at least every month (I hate doing laundry) when I would go to Laundry Time I would stop in here, grab some Tim Hortons, get food from their extensive menu, and chat with the staff while I wait for my food. The staff is friendly and will literally talk about anything to make it not seem awkward that you were standing there waiting for your items. I've tried multiple sandwiches and melts and they have all been very good. They give you a good amount of meat on these sandwiches. Pro Tip: GET THE BURGER (any burger, I don't care which burger)! And the best part, their prices are super reasonable. I love the fact that Tim Hortons is there because their coffee is like creamy crack, but the food at this spot is unexpectedly good. But even if you're not looking for "food food", it is basically a corner store. You can find plenty of chips, candy, drinks, etc. I've grown up with a lot of janky corner stores and I can honestly say, I appreciate that I have not picked up anything passed its expiration date here (you know what I'm talking about). Their prices are very reasonable for the amount of food that you get, so go treat yourself one day while trying somewhere new. read more

Most of the places along Elmwood are more like a "Mark-up" than a "Mark-et", as prices in this district are significantly higher than the rest of the relatively-affordable WNY region. However this little burnt-around-the-edges gem is a diamond in the rough. Or if you leave your dog tied up outside as the hipsters do, it's a diamond in the Ruff. They make fresh sandwiches for you on the grill, as well as selling all kinds of (mostly overpriced) typical convenience store stuff, but with a great and varied and often unusual selection, perhaps catering to their quirky clientele. Not the best breakfast sandwich in town (hello, Ohlson's Bakery) but definitely a good one. Enjoyable, freshly-made, far better than anything you'd get at a fast food outlet, and affordable too. I'm sure Oak and Maple wouldn't like this Market, but Elm would. read more

It really shouldn't have taken me this long to actually eat here considering how long I've lived nearby but glad I pulled the trigger today. I was really craving a Reuben and heard good things, I won't say it was the worlds best Reuben but for less than $6 it hit the spot. The picture of their steak sub got me drooling so I picked up an 8" Alex Deluxe, again for a ridiculously cheap price and I have to say this is one of the best steak subs I've had in the area - forget Jim's Steakout! Always extremely friendly staff and their popularity is obvious, there were several people waiting to grab lunch. All in all, you aren't going to find better deals - both sandwiches and an iced tea for $16 - you'll be paying a lot more elsewhere for less. read more

Best sub place in town. Their Italian sub is the best. A Buffalo native classic spot.

Just stopped in to grab a couple premade sandwiches. They were good and fresh! But what really impressed me were the gentlemen behind the counter-- very nice, polite, friendly and excellent with their customers (not just us but others in the store, too). read more

If you don't order fresh, don't buy salads. Lettuce is always browned and slimy. They even seem to be flipping salads and covering the disgusting top with chicken to hide the trash. Anything fresh and made to order is fine. Everything else needs to be inspected by the health dept read more

I highly recommend the Elmwood Market. Very reasonably priced with a great selection friendly employees and awesome specials. They're 8 inch sub with fries and a can of pop for $6.99 is a special every day along with another 10 or so specials they offer are great deals. I went with the tuna which is very good even though sometimes I'm Leary on tuna. Love the option that they have multiple varieties of Yancey's fancy cheese to choose from. I Will be back again soon thank you!! read more

I really love this store mainly for their breakfast sandwiches. It's buy one get one half off. Options are steak, sausage, and bacon. Bread is bagel, hard roll, or crassoint. You can call ahead an order because sometimes they are busy and you'll end up waiting. The owner is always nice. He cashes me out and always tries to make conversation with me. read more

This has been my 3rd time here, I eat out at least 3x a week, this time litter the fried chicken dinner, and the French Fries were ok but the chicken never again, the chicken coating wasthick and hard , you had to dig deep to get to the meat, it definitely was not cooked fresh, the roll was cold and hard, the coke slaw was watery and restless you can drink it l pour it down the sink, l will never buy hot food from there again, also the girl in there seems to have an attitude, Popeyes l coming back. read more

I love the Elmwood Market. The Employees there are top notch, very friendly, courteous, respectful, and extremely funny, they rib on each other so you know they enjoy working together. I have had many of their subs, wings, chicken finger dinner, fish fry, burgers, wraps, breakfast sandwiches, almost everything and it's all fabulous!!!! Today I ordered the Meatball with cheese sub (you pick your own cheese, I went with the traditional Mozzarella) to go. It took me 20 minutes to get home. When I arrived home I couldn't wait to rip into that sub, it was smelling so delicious. Anywho, when I unwrapped the package, it was also wrapped in tin foil and I had to fight to pull it off the sub. The cheese was stuck to the tin foil, leaving the sub cheeseless . The meatballs we're flavored perfectly, I just wish I wouldn't have to add my own Mozzarella and reheat it for the full effect. Al and Ray who were working this evening are great, it hurts to only give four stars. Normally I give five to this group. read more

Even thought the wait in the morning is long, its worth to wait. We got breakfast sandwich - the best I've tried and one cold cut with turkey to go - it was awesome even after few hours sitting in a car. They let you choose what ingredient you want to put on it but the most important part is that they are all fresh and tasty. And bread! Bread was delicious on both sandwiches. The guys working there are super nice and informative. Enjoy! read more

Happy to have this place within walking distance from my apartment. It's interesting because there is a Tim Horton's inside AND a sub shop inside the convenience store and they both service breakfast sandwiches. Two venues inside one market competing against each other: who will win?! I will say, the breakfast sandwich in the non Tim Hortons is pretty damn good and served on a delicious toasted bread with a seemingly fresh egg. While it may cost about 50 cents more than the Tim Horton's version, I can only imagine it's infinitely fresher. I do find the Timmy Ho's to have OK coffee for those days when I'm too lazy to walk to Taza/Grindhaus -- although it's no contest, the coffee at Taza/Grindhaus is infinitely better. All in all, this is a decent convenience store for subs/sandwiches and convenience-calibur coffee. read more

I don't come here often but on occasion I pick up a sandwich for someone who lives nearby. The employees are super friendly and they know lots of the locals. It's a good neighborhood store. You can pick up a variety of things (perishable and non as well as cleaning etc) here so perfect if you just need something quick and don't want the hassle of Pricerite. Street or nearby lot parking. read more

If you're in the market for a breakfast sandwich, order this: egg and cheese croissant with a hash brown on the sandwich. Don't get it on the side, it's not the same. It does the job. Thank me later. PS, there's a parking lot. Plan for at least a 10 minute wait in the mornings. They also have Tim Hortons and other normal convenience store things. read more

Stopped in for the breakfast. Not a bad little sandwich. Cheese and egg for me. No bacon. The bread was very soft. The hashbrown was the big square one which I love! Fried to perfection! Has a little Tim Horton in it as well. Not a big selection of stuff but enough to get your TH fix. The grocery is good to get staples but not a full on grocery. Maybe a better convenience store? read more

As a new yorker I miss going to my local bodegas and getting my sandwich fixes. Here is the closest thing to a NYC bodega, friendly staff.

This is the best place in Buffalo to get a breakfast sandwich and Al is the Kïng. He runs that place which grace and efficiency. The banana püdding is rad. Their selection of drinks is top notch with both cóke brand and the other weird one. I don't think you can beat the price for the good food either. read more

Their groceries can be a little over-priced (especially compared to the Price Rite on the same block), but their deli makes some of the best takeout in Buffalo. We've gotten subs, fried chicken and other meals and we've always been happy with them. They have a great selection of fresh baked goods, including cookies and slices of pie. The staff is always really friendly. I'm happy to have Elmwood Market as a part of my neighborhood. read more

Very convenient location near my Airbnb spot, I went here several times during my stay in Elmwood area. I had their breakfast sandwich which was great (don't forget to add hash browns), coffee from the Tim Horton's inside the market, and a few of their combo dinners (no expert but I thought beef on weck was good along with the curly fries). They also have a good selection of dessert items along with all the usual mini market selection drinks snacks etc. read more

If I could give zero stars I would.... Don't order from this place especially on ubereats. Cause their cooks CANNOT read I've ordered from them twice and my orders completely WRONG. No steak on my sandwich. No condiments on my sub. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I'm very impressed by the service here. I'm usually here for breakfast and coffee. As the reviews show the breakfast sandwiches are the best in the area. Reminds me of the ones I used to get while living in NYC.......anyway back to buffalo. I'm always greeted with a welcome and the guys behind the counter have my order memorized. This makes my morning stop for breakfast quick and easy. So stop in, I'm sure you'll get the same great service as I do. Nicely stocked shelves with grocery items and great beer selection too! read more

More convenient than your average convenient store, The Elmwood Market offers your typical grocery items that you would expect to find at a C-store. BUT, they also have a deli, serving up delicious subs with fresh sliced meats for $6 and have recently added a Tim Hortons. They also sell stamps and money orders. But here is the really exciting part...are you ready? This is awesome!!! They no longer sell lotto/lottery! Nothing takes the convenience out of C-store like running into a place for one or two quick items and getting stuck behind this: "452 $1 boxed, 452 $1 straight, 592...wait, did I say 452?" Yea...not at this place folks. I am super excited to know that I can pop in here without the risk of getting stuck behind that nonsense. read more

Excellent...I couldn't rave more. Their (cold cut) subs are out of this world. $5 (at present) gets you the much worshipped Costanzo sub roll, FILLED to the brim with all sorts of excellent fillings. My favorite is an Italian Assorted (with ham, soft salami, and cappicola). Word to warn you though, it can be extremely busy, but it is so worth the wait. They do a tremendous amount of walk-ins, and appears to have more in phone-ins. In addition, the cashiers are always friendly and smiling...you actually feel welcome there. In addition, most of the stuff that I know of in the to-go case is freshly made, and superior to what you'd find at a grocery store. Even their cold-cuts are fresh sliced as requested, and reasonable in price! An excellent reason to support local business! read more
