The staff was friendly and there was ample space to sit. There was a pretty limited menu when we visited (April), but still some good options. In the summer, I believe their menu grows quite a bit. My friend and I split the pastrami melt and turkey sandwich; they both came with house made chips. We got fresh brewed unsweetened tea to drink, which brought our bill to right around $40. I preferred the pastrami sandwich as I'm not a huge fan of cold sandwiches and I did not find the spicy mayo on the turkey to be spicy, at all. That being said the bread for the turkey sandwich was fresh & tasty. The pastrami was juicy and flavorful and the mustard on it was perfect. The housemade chips were pretty good too. The sandwiches also came with yummy pickle spears. I would like to visit again in the summer to see what else they have to offer. read more

Visited the Falls and found this gem on Yelp. They have a great breakfast/lunch menu. Big rich sandwiches and homemade chips. They have a kids menu. Lots of choices for beverages including wine and beer. We opted for a pastrami melt 1/2 with a salad and hubby got a Reuben. Outstanding!! Find this place. It's worth it! read more

The perfect place to get breakfast sandwiches. I was very impressed with the variety of sandwiches they offer. I wanted to order a few of their lunch sandwiches, but at the time of my visit (10a). Lunch options were not available to me until 11a, but I will be back for those sandwiches. I did order two breakfast sandwiches and they were delicious. If you're into coffee, there's many options you can choose from. You can also enjoy sitting in the huge dining area to enjoy your food/drink. Pastrami, egg and cheese- you get a choice of bagel, then comes a mount of pastrami, finished off with cheese and a fried egg. Loved everything about this sandwich The Manhattan- Again you have a choice of bagel. Fried egg, and cheese. This sandwich was good, and I really enjoyed the softness of the bagel. read more

Delicious breakfast bagel sandwiches, and the bagels are homemade! I had the Manhattan sandwich with everything bagel, and it was tasty and filling. The bagel was soft, fresh, and chewy. Great food, but not-so-great coffee, alas. I had a cappuccino, and it was meh all right. read more

Super friendly staff and amazing food. Perfect lunch spot after a long day of walking. Everything was so fresh and tasted homemade. read more

Power City Eatery - Chicken focaccia with pesto - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

After coming to the area many times I finally tried this place (twice in one day!) and am kicking myself for not doing so sooner. They have real legit pastrami, which is delicious on bagels in the morning or on their really great rye for lunch. They had homemade potato chips that really hit the spot with my sandwich. Coffees are also very good. I will certainly eat here several times next year when I'm back in town. read more

Me: I'll take a pastrami melt. Guy at cashier: ooooo that's a good one!!! We need more hypemen/hypewomen behind cashiers lol makes me confident that I'm ordering correctly! And he was right. The pastrami is made in house and it was super tender in the melt. Tasty and not too salty. Light airy-toasty sandwich bread. A bit too heavy-handed on the brown mustard though but not a dealbreaker. Kettle chips were a little cold but I still enjoyed their crispiness. Snappy pickle wedge. Altogether it was a pretty satisfying meal. Easily sharable for two not-super-hungry people! As for other things that I tried here, the everything bagel was overly-toasted tough and was rather thin. Chocolate chip cookie was scrumptiously chewy in the center and crispy on the edges. Iced coffee tasted standard. 4-ish stars for the food/drink but with such a lovely staff this place gets an overall 5. read more

Power City Eatery - Pastrami melt - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

A little gem in an otherwise kind of run-down, casino dominated part of town. Plenty of space inside for small groups, with relatively simple decor. They have a breakfast menu til 11am and a lunch menu after. Really solid sandwiches. My wife and I went halfsies on a reuben and a chicken salad sandwich. We got the best of both worlds: The reuben was crunchy and toasted whereas the chicken salad had much softer, chewier feel. Both were stuffed with meat, so nice and filling. Each came with a side of chips that seemed home-made. My toddler is really into soup so she tried a ham and kale minestrone type soup. It was a very heart bowl and made for a good kid meal (plus the chips she stole from me!). All in all a very nice lunch spot. read more

Power City Eatery - Reuben - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

See all

This is a little quaint eatery that has the painting of Tesla on the outside. It has a coffeehouse feel with the delicatessen taste. I picked the Reuben on Sourdough and the bowl of Turkey and bean soup. I was ecstatic that they offered Coke Zero in the bottle since many other local places only had Diet Coke. That being said, the Reuben sandwich was good, but not great. It came with home made chips that were cold and soggy. They kept them in a box on the front counter near a clear plexiglass barrier. The soup was in a very small cup and for $6.00 I would have hoped for a better sample. The flavor was ok, but nothing to rave about. Now the worst part, I'm not sure if anyone in food service nowadays understands the concept of food safety. I watched the lady that made my food, take out her cell phone multiple times with her food prep gloves on and go from the phone in the pocket to preparing food plates. The other younger girl did the same thing, but worse, she used the dish rag to clean tables and counter, grabbers her phone to check and then took bread from the shelf and place them in bags. They never changed their gloves and continued to prepare food as they switched from personal items and food items. I'm amazed I didn't get sick, This is the worse case of cross contamination seen in a while. I also believe the owner, a man, watched it all and then took the bread from the you girl and left the store. I won't be back and I hope they make changes to their food handling procedures. The gloves are for customers protection, not to keep the prepares hands clean. read more

Amazing local sandwich shop! Wonderful ambiance and energy. Service was helpful, accommodating, and competent! Definitely hope it's still here next time I visit Niagara! The food itself was excellent quality of ingredients, made to order with brisk service, and wonderful flavors without over complicating. In short, done right! read more

No it's a dump. Shit show. Overpriced. Food is good. No atmosphere whatsoever. Very boring. IT SHOULD STAY CLOSED.

Great spot. We were looking for a simple local breakfast joint and we found great food here. Chill atmosphere, great food, easy service. We're glad we stopped here. read more

This could be a nice quaint eatery and apparently bagels are made here, except for the guy in the cashier - the staff were so unwelcoming. There were 3 ladies just talking so loudly and a family came in looking at the menu and nobody even acknowledged them - I saw the mom looking at the staff waiting for service but the 3 ladies were busy talking, so they just left. The food is so so .... I would not say its good, and it took so long to prepare. The bagels is at least OK. But that is my experience with my family, could be an isolated case read more

Ordered another Thanksgiving pre-fix meal this year and it was just as delicious as I remember! It's a great value--tons of food for $50. It's really easy for when I fly in to Buffalo for American Thanksgiving but then go to Canada to be with family... but it's not Thanksgiving in Canada on the same day so we just take Thanksgiving across the boarder and have a lovely meal! Soon I'll move to Canada and will cook my own Thanksgiving meal but until then I'll happily support this local business and enjoy theirs! read more

We traveled to Niagara Falls with our little corgi and stopped by this restaurant to eat at 1 pm. The trip was long and our little corgi was a little stressed out and wouldn't eat her dog food. We knew that one thing she reliably eats is eggs. We asked the restaurant for some eggs. Despite the fact that it was past breakfast hour, they still kindly scrambled an egg for us and gave it to us for free. So our corgi baby had something to eat, and she was very happy and grateful. read more

Absolutely a must go to in Niagara. Come here for breakfast or lunch. The pastrami sandwiches here are the best you can get in the area. Every time I have been to the Falls since 2018 this is my stop. My friend and I make it our business to come here. Coming from NYC this is a taste of home with some Upstate charm. The customer service is great and you won't regret coming here. Still going strong. I hope this place continues to have success. It is a gem! read more

Went to this restaurant on a recommendation from friends. It's clean with friendly employees. I had the pastrami breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. The bagel was chewy but lacked, to me, a true bagel flavor. The pastrami was flavorful and had just the right amount of provolone cheese. Egg cooked medium. My husband had the Manhattan breakfast sandwich with bacon, cheddar and egg. I tried a bite and it was good. For the most part, no serious complaints but certainly not what I expected from the hype. It cost us $22 for two bagel sandwiches. Didn't buy any drinks. Probably wouldn't make a special trip to go back. read more

Food was good, of particular the food reminds of a food truck, in the best way, with a simple menu. Service was also good. Ambiance is laid back and reminds you of the many coffee shops in Seattle. Two things: * No cutlery offer lt breakfast. If you are eating the breakfast Sammy's, the cheese is hot from being melted of course, but you are left to eat with your fingers. * When you order your coffee, you must order at the time you order your coffee and pay. Otherwise, no cream/milk is offered at the condiment area and you must queue again to have it added and request a stir stick. Not a huge deal, but adds to the time for a simple order. BTW, the ice coffee comes from the drip...diluted when you consider they serve Espresso and the like adjacent to the drip. read more

Awesome little coffee and sandwich shop. Everything tasted great and very pleasing to have high quality ingredients. They even put together a bacon, eggs, and cheese bowls for my dogs for $6! The service was welcoming, competent, and helpful! The dogs gave many tail wags of approval! read more

Our experience was really good! They're offering a limited menu due to coronavirus. They did accept our phone in order and they have excellent indoor and outdoor seating. The veggie sandwich was so good!! If you say "goat cheese", then I am in! Plus some portobello mushrooms, spinach and pesto? Um, yes please. Their chips are unique and delicious. They tasted homemade and super crispy, like kettle chips. read more

Very good bagels for the breakfast. Flexible options. I bet also the sandwiches for lunch are good

Jumped off of the highway for breakfast on the way to Toronto and found this cool little place on Yelp when looking for a spot that wasn't fast food. Not what we expected but did the trick... Food is ordered at the counter... much like fast food. The menu is limited to basics so don't expect a full breakfast... But there is a decent selection of breakfast pastry, bread, sandwiches and beverages. I ordered bacon, egg and cheese on a toasted everything bagel... Very tasty and satisfying. The decor is kinda urban warehouse on an old street of shops... Some diner style seating, some Coffey house window and a nice little patio. Really liked the atmosphere and the pleasant service. All in all a good experience... They would easily rate a 4th star if they expanded the menu just a bit but no complaints on my first visit. Definitely worth a stop in if you're visiting the US side of the falls. read more

They make their own breads and cook their own meats. Best Ruben sandwich I've ever had. No deli meat on this! Homemade chips for the side. Cute place with nice people. read more

They were out of several items and the lettuce on our sandwich was bad and rotten. Won't come here again.

Power City! We ate here twice, during our short stay in Niagara Falls. We were so happy to find a cafe and restaurant like Power City, that makes a lot of their own offerings in house! From pastrami to bagels, and more! Lunch- I built a nice chicken salad sandwich, and it was so yummy. The cappucino my girlfriend got was made with care by the guy that looked like Nikola Tesla (which Power City also pays tribute to with an outdoor mural). They've got indoor and outdoor seating. We came back for breakfast, and unfortunately they were slammed and out of lots of ingredients like bagels for breakfast sandwiches. Orders were taking forever, but you know what? It was still the best meal we had on our trip! And the workers were doing their best. Service is friendly here, and we loved our visits to Power City Eatery. read more

Such a cool place recommend by our friends who live in Lockport. It's a big place inside and it has a private courtyard. Everyone is really nice and helpful. I ordered the pastrami, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. It was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. They also serve Steamworks Coffee so the coffee is delicious. My husband and I loved the food so much we went back the next day for breakfast. read more

Great little spot in Niagara Falls, NY, which is sorely lacking good restaurants/food options, in my opinion. We got breakfast twice and lunch another day. Fresh food. House made bagels which were delicious. We ordered ahead for breakfast but it didn't speed things up somehow. Regardless, it was delicious, clean, well rounded menu w nice coffee, tea and even treats for the kiddos. Highly recommend. read more

As a non-breakfast person it is rare for me to enjoy a breakfast out so much. The garden veggie cream cheese is just out of this world, and the fresh bagels cannot be beaten. Highly recommend stopping in when you're in town. Great service and a nice chill vibe - love the chess table and games! read more

Yes, we could have grabbed one of those meals in the food court that would have cost $16 plus tax, but I'm glad we escaped the bustle to this gem not too far off the trail. ++ Oven pasted turkey sandwich: apparently the serving size is not the main game here, but the sandwich was respectable, if not terrible memorable. The house made chips, however, were crisp and film of flavour. Love free wifi Cucumber water: a nice and welcome touch - - Minimal customer service: nothing to gripe about, but I wouldn't be coming back here for their customer service read more

This is THE hidden gem of Niagara Falls! I've had the pleasure of eating here three times, and love it more every time. My favorite sandwich here is the Cataract Classic-all the flavors go together so perfectly and I find myself craving it all the time. I love the tapenade they use on it, and the meats taste so fresh. Now when you order lunch, you get the great sandwich and the delicious home made chips that are perfectly salted as well as a pickle. It's just a great lunch for less than $10 and it can not be beat. The atmosphere here is awesome. There's a ton of history and information on the walls that describes the falls. I love seeing the power the waterfalls generate and how industry has used nature over time. read more

Power City was so good we went both mornings of our stay for breakfast. The house made bagels with jalapeño honey smear were incredibly delicious as were the Manhattan egg sandwiches! The service was excellent! We had a little mix up on our order on the second morning and they quickly rectified the order with a smile. The open space inside and welcoming patio outside were enjoyable spots to enjoy our delicious coffee and breakfast. We'll be craving those bagels long after our stay! read more

We went here for breakfast and lunch on the weekend. Thankfully they serve breakfast all day on a Sunday, otherwise it stops at 11:00am. We ordered the Manhattan bagel and roast beef sandwich. Both were outstanding, especially the Manhattan bagel with the egg and bacon. The roast beef sandwich could have had a bit more meat on it but it tasted good on the Italian bread with provolone and Apple slices on it. The horseradish mustard they provide has a nice tangy taste to it. The espresso was also very good. This is a large place with quite a number of tables. You can park free for two hours on the street. The staff were decent here but I don't like how they don't serve you at the table, but still have the nerve to ask for a tip when you first order at the desk. read more

This was my second time dining at Power City Eatery and hubs first time. My first time was with Sarah K. She introduced me to this yummy breakfast and lunch cafe. I don't remember what I had last time, but it was good! Today I had the pastrami, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on sour dough bread. The sandwich comes with 3 eggs over medium, provolone cheese and your choice of a bagel or bread. They were out of bagels. It was yummy and filling. I do agree with other yelpers, the pastrami does taste a bit weird if you eat it plain, but on my sandwich it was good! Hubby had the roast beef sandwich. He enjoyed it and so did I as I had a bite. The roast beef was very thick cut and the texture was similar to pastrami, but still yummy. It came with lettuce, cheddar cheese, apples, horseradish mayo and he added yellow mustard which was a yummy touch! He had it made as a melt, so his cheese came melted. The only thing that was iffy to me is the roast beef was hard to pull apart while eating. You had to bite hard and it didn't seem to want to come apart. Still good! The cucumber water is supperrr yummy! I took a cup to go. The chips are also super yum! They're only open til 1pm now, not 3pm on Sunday's during winter from Oct 1-Apr 30 and breakfast is served all day on Sunday during winter months! A loaf of house made bread for purchase is $4.25 (steal) and has to be ordered 24 hours in advance. read more
