We been wanting to try her bread again, having had it once some years ago at a pop up and loved it. we'd never heard of borodinsky rye, and should have googled it before we bought it. It's a sweet rye, which we weren't expecting, not knowing that a sweet rye even exists. So, it's not our favorite, but will say in its favor that it was dark, hearty, fresh. we just never figured out how best to eat it. we tried toasted, with pnut butter, with avocado, with soup; nothing was able to make us happy. The loaf cost $8.50. we haven't given up, tho! we'll try another flavor next time.

It's well worth the trip out to North Tonawanda, or of course, if you're lucky enough to live nearby, you should come in all the time. The breads are fantastic.

There were twelve people for a 6 course vegan menu. While the menus aren't always 100% vegan, they can do a full vegan option at any of their pop-ups if you provide advance notice. It's a pop-up, so the only food there will be what is being served to the small group. The courses are spaced out so you have a chance to talk with the other diners and meet new people. Everyone sits together at one table. All meals are gluten free and BYOB, so feel free to bring wine to share or beverages for yourself. The meal was thoughtful and vegetable forward. There's nothing like this in Buffalo, but lots of places serving food like this in bigger cities - Chicago, Philadelphia, NYC, LA. Do yourself a favor and let Chef Claire wow you with vegetables and other plant-based foods where the animal products, if any, just play a supporting role. Eat better.

Stumbled upon here as I was searching for hidden gems. It's a shame more people don't know about this kitchen. Came in on a Saturday night around 7pm. Ordered the Blackened shrimp po boy and the Szechuan Udon with shrimp which has noodles stir fried & tossed with veggies in a spicy Szechuan inspired sauce. Both were tasty. Seasoned beautifully. Had lovely colored and delivered with every bite. Honestly it was so good that two hours later I came back and ordered food for my family. They licked the plate clean. I got them the Creole Seafood Eggrolls and the southern fried shrimp po boy. There's a few seats outside the restaurant but most people take it to go it looks like. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Slide thru. It won't disappoint. Plus it's Black owned. Bonus info! If you don't wanna order in person you can get it with grubhub, door dash, and other delivery platform

Are you ready for a journey combining cuisine from East and West that will tantalize your taste…read morebuds and make you want more? Than look no further than Far East Bayou! We were looking for cajun food and stumbled upon this hidden gem. When I say hidden, its hidden tucked inside an old industrial building (with zero street signage) that now houses a bunch of pop up culinary surprises. On the second floor tucked in the back corner you will find Far East Bayou. This casual take out restaurant, is a fusion of Southern New Orleans and Korean flavors. The chef was extremely friendly and ready to take us down his culinary journey down the bayou. I ordered a bunch of different dishes for my husband and I to sample: Shrimp Bo Poy - blackened, shrimp po boy- fried, crab hush puppies and honey cajun udon noodles. Everything was extremely flavorful! The sauces were out of this world. They had a nice spice on them. Not a spice that sets your mouth on fire, but spice that is flavorful and enhances everything else on the plate. The fried shrimp was super crispy and the cornmeal breading was perfectly seasoned. My only complaint is the preparation of the shrimp. The shrimp are prepared with their tails on, which made it difficult to eat. We had to dig through the sauces and toppings to find each shrimp and pull the tails off . I learned the owner makes his own kimchi, which is made using more spices and vegetables and less fish. He allowed me to sample some, and I will be dreaming about this kimchi tonight! I will definitely be coming back to try their rotating specials menu, and grab some more kimchi!

Fragrant, robust, warm, and tasty. I was hooked. Went back and bought a bag. Went to the Farmer's market for years after just to get my coffee, which they would make to order and not an easy order - half dark, half medium, fine grind. But they always did it for me and the coffee was always fresh and delicious. Then they started delivery (way before pandemic) and I could get it delivered right to my door. And Laura, who answers the phone on the first or second ring, is the most pleasant, cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable person on the planet. I'm sometimes thinking I want to call up just to hear her sunny disposition to brighten my day. I love this company - great product and superior service.

Stormin' Crab offers their blue crabs one of two ways: Either added as a side to any boil (topped with your favorite seasonings), or served as a fried crab basket. The oyster appetizer (sold as six or twelve) can be raw or grilled. I adore them raw, and these are Bluepoints! They were plump, glistening, and had a great sweet and briney flavor. My husband's gumbo was thick with rice and andouille sausage, with baby shrimp. It also had a powerful black pepper kick. Very tasty! The boil arrived on a stainless steel platter in a large plastic bag, ballooned out with steam. We had chosen the butter, medium spicy. I thought the saltiness overpowered the flavor of the seafood, but your mileage may vary. Combo C had so much food we took a third of it home! We really enjoyed our meal here!

Update: subtracting 1 star because my kid got sick from the oily food. Never again…read more The staff was so nice and the facility is very clean however we just didn't care for the food itself. We ordered the cajun mix for crawfish and snow crab and garlic butter snow crab. All the boils are doused full of butter flavored oil (not real butter) which didn't allow for any flavor to reach your tongue or the meat. I may be spoiled with real Louisiana and Texas crawfish and seafood boils but the oil was so unpleasant. The crawfish was oily, flavorless, and tasted dirty. The crab was probably presalted and just reheated in the boil. I asked for some cajun seasoning and salt to sprinkle on top but there was just too much oil. I am disappointed with this type of boil and hope I can find a more traditional type with no oil somewhere in Buffalo.

10/10 Experience at Tea Leaf Cafe!…read more Tea Leaf Cafe in Buffalo is easily one of my favorite spots in the city. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is cozy, clean, and welcoming. It's the perfect place to relax, hang out with friends, or just enjoy some quiet time. The drinks are AMAZING. Whether you're getting classic milk tea, fruit tea, or something more unique, everything tastes super fresh and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, just right. The boba texture is always on point too. You can tell they really care about quality. The staff is friendly, patient, and fast with orders, even when it's busy. They make you feel appreciated as a customer. If you're in Buffalo and love bubble tea (or even if you're trying it for the first time), I 100% recommend Tea Leaf Cafe. Definitely a 10/10 -- I'll keep coming back!
