Their hours are limited. I bought a bag of their beans as a gift for a friend in California and I heard great things. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the Lockport area.

TrueBean tickles my tastebuds in a different way. The flavors are complex yet smooth and I haven't met a roast I didn't like. My favorite is the Tanzania Peaberry. The art on the bags is gorgeous as well and created by the roaster/owner, Jason. Grab a cup at the Lockport Community Market, The Lock Keeper Coffee House, or on their website. Do it!

All three of us loved all four of the flavors, but agreed that Sherlock was the best. The location is very cute, but small so you may need to wait for a table. The ladies working there were very nice and super apologetic because the service was slow and they were getting overwhelmed. I don't think they expected their flights to be so popular.

Found Gypsy Kitchen on Transit Road, I mean to make a habit of going there often from here on out. The coffee is legit. They clearly know what they're doing with espresso. Also grabbed a bite to eat -- food is fresh, not an afterthought. The space is comfortable without being pretentious. Good seating, good light, not loud. I've worked remotely from here, met up with people, and just sat solo -- all work. Free wifi, easy parking, the whole thing. Open Tuesday through Saturday which works fine for me. Staff is friendly every single time, remembers regulars, doesn't rush you out. If you're in Lockport, Niagara Falls, or anywhere in WNY and searching for a local coffee shop that's actually worth it -- this is the answer. Not a chain, not a compromise. Just really good coffee in a spot that feels like it belongs to the neighborhood. One of the better finds in Western New York honestly.

There is a wide variety of bagels to pick from, after that you pick your schmear. I went for the cheddar bagel with a hot cherry pimento cream cheese. Wonderful. The bagel is very good with a nice topping of cheddar and the schmear was really, really good. It had little spicy pieces in it, so every bit was a surprise. Sometimes creamy, sometimes with a little kick. I guess we found a great stop for our longer bike rides. Almost forgot: they make a great cappuccino too with a nice and foamy top. Wonderful.

It's a nice addition to that area. They have plenty of indoor seating with some outdoor seating options, they could probably do with adding another picnic table for busy summer days.

While I love the black sesame, my bf is obsessed with their peanut butter epiphany. Reasonable prices with generous scoops. Friendly employees and also very helpful for any questions.

They also sell other items like candles, bathbombs, ice cream scoops, locally made honey & more. Pup cups also available. Since it's a 25 minutes drive from us, I guess getting a pint is not a bad idea :D I've been here twice and I always had a great experience. Will be coming back!
