It was a little crowded today but I was still able to get in and out quickly and was greeted with a smile! Remember if you have your brews and booze passport to use it! This is such a cute spot, love it. read more

An absolute gem of a coffee shop located on Main st in Buffalo. It is definitely worth the trip and your time. Everything from the unique Turkish coffee to the wonderful food items is worth the hype. Be sure to read your fortune in the Turkish coffee grounds. I would definitely recommend the cheese bread as well. Enjoy!! read more

This spot is so cozy and everytime I come back I think, "Man I wished I lived closer!" Penny's never disappoints when it comes to a chai latte and a snack. The service here is always fast and I have the best time. Whether I am here to work on my computer or meet up with a friend, there is always a nice table or window seat available. The wifi is great here too. If you need a new spot to camp out for some remote work with great food, amazing baristas, and a cozy feel, this is your new go-to. read more

I just moved to Allentown and decided to try Penny's. I took my husband and pups over. They waited outside while I went in. When I walked in there was a woman with long blonde hair cooking something with no hairnet or it pulled back. Gross but I wasn't ordering food. Then I get the register and place an order. The cashier was nice but the barista with blue hair was incredibly rude when I asked about pup cups. It's a tiny cup of whip cream that I was more than willing to pay for. She muttered "this isn't Starbucks". Okay then. While placing my order I see there's no cream available to self serve so I ask about it. They don't have it you have to place it in your order. So, I had my order changed. Took forever, and getting to two americanos I ordered took about 15 mins. The place is cute atmosphere wise but for expensive mediocre coffee and a rude staff I will gladly go somewhere else in the city. read more

Really cute place, I absolutely love the ambiance in here. However, the food was very mediocre. Like, 17 dollars for a sandwich and it's half hot half cold? Cheese isn't even melted? Disappointed there. The drinks were good! And then the service.. not so sure about that. Overheard the same worker being rude to people a few times. I'd come back, but only for drinks. And I'd prefer just to order the self order stand if the workers are gonna be rude. read more

Disappointing. Service was not great, was sold croissant breakfast sandwich and the next person in line also bought two croissants but they somehow didn't have one for my party. Food and drinks took close to 50 minutes to prepare. They seemed to prioritize togo orders instead of restaurant customers. Restaurant didn't seem overly busy but employees seemed very stressed and were stern with customers to line up in different ways (there were maybe 2 people in line at any given time). Kind of made it all a stressful atmosphere. Additionally, the shawarma wrap was not so great. Loaded with dressing and falling apart. Overall, a really disappointing experience for over $50. Also, we were warned their signature dish (Khachapuri) would take 30-40 minutes to prepare so we didn't order it, and ended up waiting over 40 minutes for our food anyways. read more

I really enjoyed the latte and panini I ordered at this spot. The iced baklava latte was so unique and delicious. I felt bad for the staff as there was a woman who was rude to them for being understaffed. I think they did a fantastic job considering there were only two employees! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Buffalo! read more

The perfect fusion of coffee shop and outdoor oasis. Brandon G., the local Yelp leader in Buffalo, suggested we work from here one morning while I was in town and it was the best suggestion ever. Locally owned and operated, this place has that special spark to it... The kind where you can see the passion and love that the owners have poured into it. The space itself is beautiful, with a ton of natural light, bright greenery, and even a little nook with a swing and a lovely photo opp. I ordered a latte and a croissant and busted out some work for a couple of hours. The wifi was strong, there was street parking out front, and the service was top notch. I honestly could have stayed here all day. I wouldn't hesitate to come back and I highly suggest you pay them a visit the next time you're looking to work out of the house or office and/or need a pick me up that only coffee can fix. read more

Super cozy cafe shoppe! I only got an iced coffee and raisin cookie but the quality was of the food and drink was 10/10 ! The cookie had a homemade crispy outside with a soft center. The iced coffee was beyond any coffee I've ever had... trust me as I've flown around the US for work and this was the best I've had. The gentleman working greeted me and was happy to assist with my order. A woman came out from the back to say hello. I will absolutely be back! read more

Penny's is such a fun spot! Located right in the heart of the city, I like to stop here on my way to work occasionally or I stop in for a solo date with a book, and it's super cozy. My go to drink is always a latte with either caramel or vanilla, however I do switch up on what I get to eat. So far, I've tried a plain bagel toasted with butter, an everything bagel with cream cheese, their double chocolate chip muffin and their chocolate chip cookies. My favorite item? The plain bagel toasted with butter! I don't know how they get the butter to soak so perfectly into the bagel, but oh my goodness, it's amazing. The employees are always super friendly and I think it's just a great spot to kick off your day. Plus, it's so cute inside that you can take some really fun photos. read more

It never disappoints! Was there last Saturday which was my second time! Such a fun atmosphere and really great staff. I had a decaf iced Americano and with the Barista's suggestion I tried it with Pistachio milk - GREAT idea! It was a game changer and absolutely delicious. I am a serious coffee snob especially with decaf as it can tend to be bitter - not this coffee -it was smooth and easy to drink and left me wanting more :) I was there with my knitting friends and we all agree we want to meet up there again soon. Give it a try - this place is a gem! read more

The sugar free Carmel latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon was great. The espresso was rich and smooth. Came back the next day to order food and kill some time. That's when I discovered the swings. I just love the swings and the decorations are cute. The cashier was nice and personable. Nothing amazing but also nothing bad. If you're in the neighborhood stop by. read more

Food was excellent, ambiance was nice calm and well decorated, but the frustration was that our food took 30 minutes from when we ordered. Not sure if they were maybe just short staffed. I ordered the peanut butter toast and my husband had the lox bagel and it didn't seem that busy inside so I really don't understand why it took so long. We would still go back and just know we can't be in a rush to go somewhere else. read more

I have been here before, and frankly I cannot recall what my experience was like, but I have some further thoughts. If I'm expected to pay a tip, the least they could do is bring the order to the table; especially since I'm handicapped. That bitchery aside, the food (lox sandwich) was delicious and the chai latte was one of the best I've had. I'm afraid to try the Turkish coffee for some reason, maybe someday I'll get over it. Then there was the baklava - holy crap was it delicious!! read more

I've visited Penny's twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. A few weeks ago, my friend and I stopped by for lunch since we're interning nearby, and it was a lovely walk on a nice day. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a blueberry latte (unfortunately, no pictures), and I have to say, the latte was one of the best I've ever had from a coffee shop. I usually make my own at home because I'm picky about the taste, but they absolutely nailed it! The wrap was also delicious, and I'll definitely be returning for lunch soon. Since it's my birthday month, Penny's sent me a $5 birthday coupon--thank you, Penny's!!! So, I decided to grab a quick breakfast to go today. The employees were super nice and took the time to explain the seasonal coffee specials, which I really appreciated. I ordered the strawberries and cream cold brew (summer seasonal flavor) and a plain bagel toasted with strawberry cream cheese. Although I'm not usually a big fan of cold brew, this one was amazing. You can't beat the vibes of this place, either; it's beautifully set up, and I can definitely see myself studying here during the school year. Cheers to Penny's! I highly recommend everyone give it a try:) read more

Came by for a work meeting and stayed to grab a bite. I wanted to sample a bit of what they had to offer so I got a sandwich, blueberry muffin, and a hot beverage. Everything was really delicious.l! Not being a huge coffee drinker, I got one of their seasonal 'spring fever' drinks, which was called 'Cup of Sunshine'. This was a house-made Golden milk that was sweetned with honey. The chicken pesto panini ($14.95) was very delicious and came with chicken pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella on focaccia bread. It came with a little salad as well. And the blueberry muffin ($3.50)was a large delicious blueberry muffin, haha! I also really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the place and it had a variety of seating options, including a pair of porch swings (probably not the best for drinking a hot coffee though lol) read more

Penny's is a great little coffee shop in Allentown near the medical campus. It seems to be a comfortable place to do a little work or visit with friends. They have traditional coffee and tea drinks and a variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches and pastries. Many dishes have a Mediterranean regional cuisine twist. Our favorite items are the lox bagels, the BLT with garlic sauce sandwich, and the pistachio latte made with pistachio milk. What a fabulous drink the pistachio latte is. You should try one immediately. The shop is clean and has cute decor and colorful signage displaying the menu items and specials. read more

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday and enjoyed the smoked salmon toast and coffee. Everything about the toast was delicious! The atmosphere here is also very welcoming and cute, with table seating, seating along the window, and an adjacent room that's a cute space for a photo op. Ordering was quick but it took my food quite a while to come out. However they were very busy that day which may have been the reason why my food took awhile. read more

I got a blueberry muffin and the Iced Baklava Latte (made with honey and pistachio syrup). Both are delicious! The barista was super nice and helpful. He recommended pistachio milk as a milk alternative and it really takes the coffee to the next level. The vibe of the coffee shop is super cute and has fun plants and signs to take pictures with. The seating is unique (swings, couch, etc) and they have a clean restroom. The cafe is wheelchair accessible and offers a ramp to get from the first floor to the "step up" to where you order. Would definitely recommend! read more

This place is gorgeous! We came on a Saturday morning before 9am and there were plenty of places to sit (I will say when we left around 9:15 it was getting crowded at the counter to order) The staff taking orders was so sweet to my toddler and gave him stickers which he loved. I got an iced mocha and my husband got the Turkish coffee. To eat we got a bagel, bagel with lox and my Toddler got a muffin. All great. read more

First they confidently sent me home with roughly half my order, then when I came back I stood there for half an hour watching drinks get ordered and made and nobody even APPROACH the pick up window. I waited as patiently as possible and stared at the same two open bags remaining untouched for that whole half hour until I finally forced one of the girls to stop and tell me where the other half of my order was. It was, in fact, one of those two untouched bags and it was STILL missing a bakery item that they would've missed if I hadn't pointed out. Now the drink I got in my FIRST bag is undrinkable because it's been nearly 45 minutes since it was made!! VERY disappointed and won't be back. read more

A gem! A rare find! Great study spot! Entering the store I thought I teleported - how is this Buffalo?! The store is spacious, extensive seating, variety of seating options (even a swing)... It was super packed on a Saturday early afternoon but no trouble to find seating. There's WiFi and limited outlets, great study spot as the music isn't too loud (high ceilings) and super bright lights even if there is no sun. The tables were sturdy and large. The affogato was delicious but if I'm being picky I'd say the ice cream was probably freezer burned (icy)...the expresso was very decent! Such a cute cup as well. read more

The lack of effort in this $10 piece of toast is honestly COMICAL. Not only was the service incredibly slow but just look at this. Am I crazy or is this the most pathetic avocado toast you have ever seen? I get that it was takeout and the tomatoes falling off I understand but come on guys. Edit: just came back to say I took a bite and the avocado is completely unripe at all. I didn't think this could get any worse honestly read more

Penny's is a comfy and adorable coffee shop. It's quite earthy as well. The swinging benches and back drop photo opp are a fun touch. The Turkish coffee is absolutely yummy which I was surprised by because normally I only enjoy flavored coffee. I did get it with sugar. I've had the iced chai latte and baklava latte with pistachio milk. Both are yummy. The coffee art in my baklava latte was fun and made me smile. The baklava itself is expensive for the tiny portion. It's about the the size of a quarter. It is good though. I've had the avocado toast twice. The first time I had it, it was substantial for $9. The second time, not so much. The oatmeal raisin cookie is divine. It's very slow service, so come when you have time. I definitely recommend Penny's and will be back. read more

Overall I really liked this place! The inside is pretty big and the decor/seating is perfect. All of the workers were super friendly and gave us recommendations. I got the baklava latte which was a specialty latte, and the cheese panini with the side salad. My sister and I also tried the Turkish coffee. The Turkish coffee was okay, we did it more to try it than anything else. The salad was simple, but good, with mixed greens and balsamic. I think they definitely could have added more cheese to the panini, especially if the panini is just going to have that. The latte was incredible though. I will definitely be coming back for more lattes! read more

Also got a "love potion" (valentines special) which is a lavender honey latte-- again, perfect amount of sweetness (sweeter than the coffee but that what I would expect from the flavors)-- comforting & cozy! The actual shop is adorable. There are tables to sit and a little pergola (?) with bench swings that gives a nice aesthetic. Would recommend! read more

With so many coffee places in Buffalo, including franchises, it's hard to stand out. My husband found this place by chance and saw on their website that they were doing a "Turkish coffee class." We attended, and it was such an amazing class. The owner showed us how to make traditional Turkish coffee, along with the history behind the preparation method. We had the chance to make our own as well. The coffee was paired with delicious baklava and Turkish jellies. My husband was thrilled to learn they sold their own Turkish coffee, and we bought a bag along with other goodies. The entire staff was extremely knowledgeable and beyond friendly. We were greeted and given reccomdations on customizing our coffee based on taste. To finish with how I started this review: "With so many coffee places, it's hard to stand out." This business stands out not only in the coffee selection but customer service as well. I will definitely be coming back again! read more
