    Ciabatta B.L.T.
    Katherine G.

    I offered to take my niece on a college visit in Buffalo and we decided to eat at Strong Hearts in Buffalo. The menu was nearly identical to the Syracuse location (which I frequent regularly). The seating area was cute and it was easy to get to from SUNY Buffalo State. The service was good and fast there were several other groups ordering and eating lunch around the same time. I deducted one star for the bread on the chicken parm sandwich is not nearly as good at this location! The other ingredients were good and nearly identical to the Syracuse SH version of this. My niece had the ciabatta BLT which she said was good and the bacon tasted real The apple cider milkshake was delicious as always. Thank you!

    Visiting from Charlotte and was hunting for vegan cafe and tried this, it was AMAZING - the food, the vibe, the service. Tried the cheesecake, strawberry and chocolate cupcake, vanilla iced latte and everything was more than what I expected. Definitely definitely recommend this place to all

    Super Protein Smoothie Autumn Quesadilla
    Melinda E.

    Good vegan flavors and textures. Creative menu items. Quesadilla lack of filling was disappointing & price quite high for the few ounces of filling but taste & texture was really good! Protein drink was nearly $8 & didn't list any macros but tasted good.

    Absolutely not. I order the peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. Uhmm no! Just no. It looked very pretty. I don't know but I would like to if they make these cheesecake in house. Anyway, all I can actually taste is oil. I tried the cheesecake three separate times. Each time the same nasty taste.i expected peanut butter but there was none. I don't know what that was but it was pretty bad and left an unruly aftertaste.

    Again another amazing lunch, 1 of my favorite places in buffalo, consistent every time. I can't get enough of their food! Good healthy vegan food that's more than just 'lettuce and mushrooms'. This place is next level and very inventive with their food.

    Strong Hearts is a top choice for vegan options here in Buffalo. One of my main struggles with most places that offer a vegan option is it is often just a Beyond Burger, or a salad (but hold the cheese!) - nothing that really offers creative ways to use vegetables or other plant based options. Strong Hearts does all of the above - creative alternatives, creative salads, plant based meat substitutes, and even vegan shakes and smoothies. Prices are reasonable, which is a huge bonus since so many places upcharge for vegan when by all accounts it should be less expensive, right? The environment is very welcoming, with a friendly, courteous staff every time we're in; couldn't ask for better in those regards. But wait! There's more! Their selections of vegan baked goods are out of this world! With an ever changing, wide variety of vegan cupcakes and pastries, there is absolutely something to satisfy every sweet tooth, and I dare you to tell me you can tell that they're vegan! In conclusion, you should have read everything above, but go there and make your own judgement. I will absolutely be looking forward to my next visit.

    Hot Cocoa Cupcake

    Consistently impressed by this place. Most recently I had the ciabatta blt (vegan ofc) and the macaroni salad. Took home the hot cocoa cupcake. Everything was SO. GOOD. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff too.

    Sooo let's just say I had no idea I lived a hop and a skip from this gem!! A friend treated me to lunch here. We ordered her fav from the menu, the Buffalo Mac N Cheese, completely vegan I might add in case you don't know this place was a vegan castle. I also ordered the strawberry banana smoothie. My tribe for both items, absolutely delicious. I literally can't wait to get back in there! The inside is so cute and well decorated. Perfect for a lunch date or a work session.

    The deserts were yummy! I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie, so good! I also got a a lavender lemon cupcake "delicious" & peanut butter & jelly cheesecake. The best part dairy-free. The service was fast we ordered to go. I love the ambiance, the menu was on a screen and if you're sitting in you can get a paper menu. The decor beautiful. I can't wait to go back to enjoy the food!

    Rueben, chicken parm, and nachos!
    Leah S.

    My partner and I went to Strong Hearts before a Kleinhan's performance. We had the best time! The place is super cute inside- you order and then grab a seat and wait to pick up at the counter. My partner ordered the Rueben with black bean soup; I ordered chicken parm with fries. We also ordered a small plate of nachos just to try them. And we ordered two cans of cider. All for $65! We were amazed at how affordable this place is and how delicious the food was. As vegans, it is so hard to find places to eat out in Buffalo. I also ordered a birthday cheesecake to go... and tasted it when I got home. Folks... my life is FOREVER changed. I declared that THIS cake will be my birthday cake until the end of time!!! It was amazing - I'm still dreaming about it. We cannot wait to go back!! My only suggestion: lower the lights just a tad= they are REALLY bright

    Sweet Sassy Molassy, the BEST
    Sara S.

    Truly Syracuse's greatest export--so grateful we have this gem in Buffalo now. The very Buffalo flavored menu is fun, with "beef" on weck and "chicken" wings, but I can never turn down the Sweet Sassy Molassy sandwich. With a chocolate peanut butter banana shake, of course. Even if you're not vegan, you'll find something to love and will not miss the meat.

    Ok this place falls under the category of "Where have you been all my life"…read moreThe food was so good, we completely forgot to snap pics of it. Two of my favorite cuisines in one - Indian and BBQ. You will not be disappointed and that's all I have to say about that.

    This was the first time we've been to Southern Junction. This place has a great vibe and made me…read morefeel like I was in Austin again.The staff was so helpful, lively, and it felt like they loved working there. We ended up ordering the 2 meat platter with pork and brisket, milk bread, cardamom corn bread with brown butter, potato salad, coleslaw, a barbacurry foldie and banana pudding. Where do I begin? The food was excellent and the flavor combinations brtween the smoked meats and Indian spices were amazing. I never thought brisket with coconut curry would be so good. The coleslaw is delicious with roasted chopped peanuts on top giving it an extra crunch and nutty flavor. The cornbread was so tasty and not dry, especially when you dip it into the brown butter. The pulled pork has an extra seasoning sprinkled on top that gave it another layer of flavor that complimented the smoked meat well. Both the pork and brisket were moist and tasted even better with the hot bbq and coconut curry sauces. My husband enjoyed the potato salad more than I did only because it had a strong mustard flavor, which is personally not my favorite condiment. That's just my taste buds though! The foldie was a naan bread (I believe) filled with meat and slaw and a curry dipping sauce. Delicious. The banana pudding was very good as well. I'm so glad I have leftovers that I'll be eating shortly!

    I seem to be an outlier as the place was busy when I arrived, but I thought it was a so-so place…read more Espresso was thin and bitter.... dissapointing. Bagel breakfast sandwich also disappointing. Only the sesame seeds seems to been able to cling onto my everything bagel (very scan onion/poppy/garlic) on the sandwich. The eggs were bland and were extremely lightly scrambled... like why do that, just fry them and poke the top and make a fried egg sandwich OR flip your wrist 20 more times to make a more proper scramble. At least they didn't overload it with bacon (sarcasm), the bacon was also rather mundane. They do have some intriguing vegan options and a good menu. Also a bit on the pricey side, 950 for a bagel bacon/egg/cheese. If I lived right near by, I would probably pony up here often as the inside has comfy seating, good wifi. But it closes at 2pm.... so not sure if I will ever be back.

    We were travelers in Buffalo, and this place was within walking distance of our Air BnB…read more Coffee was pretty good. Not super great, but good. The bagel was FIRE! So good. Like... I could have eaten three. Or five. Or eight. Sadly, I am doughy and round (just like a bagel) so I only ate one. But it was so so so good. There was a crisp to the exterior, but the interior had a tender and chewy texture. It was literally the perfect bagel. Every other bagel I've ever eaten pales in comparison to this one. I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat a supermarket bagel again. So Public Espresso has ruined me for all other bagels, but maybe that's a good thing considering my doughy, round body...
