I tend to be particular about flavored coffee drinks. Decided to go with the Earl Grey cappuccino,…read morewhich was pleasantly aromatic and thoughtfully balanced, with the bergamot coming through without overpowering the espresso. The milk was well-textured, and the drink felt cohesive rather than perfumed, which I appreciated. That said, the tea notes soften the espresso more than they elevate it, so this works best for those who prefer nuance over intensity.

Service was excellent and friendly. Coffee not as much…read more Ordered a Pour over and it was meh, tasted like a normal drip coffee. No notes separation, no sweetness, no body, no acidity. Not sure if the barista knew how to make a pour out ver or if anything was weighed in a scale. I did see the water he used was from a water dispenser and not a temp controlled gooseneck kettle.

Local roaster with quality coffee and terrific service…read more They have whole bean coffee by the pound and will grind it for you if you need it. Their coffee is from around that world with my favorite, Bali Blue. I keep trying coffee from other places like Ethiopia and Columbia, but I always return to the Bali Blue. Their selection of flavored coffee is larger than their regular coffee, so if you like it flavored you're sure to find something you like.

New Day Coffee Roaster is a local micro coffee roaster serving both retail and wholesale customers…read more It's my go-to establishment for buying my coffee that I brew at home. They source their beans from all over the world. The coffee is amazing! You can purchase anything from single k cups, to small packets of ground coffee to bigger bags of whole bean coffee which they will grind for your in store if you choose. So many different varieties of coffee to choose from. My favorites are the seasonal flavors. I tend to buy a variety of single k cups to try many types and flavors of coffee. They also have cold brew in store for purchase. Not only do they offer coffee but they have a vast variety of teas and hot chocolate. Several times during the year they have tasting events and fun seasonal events where you can sample a bunch of their coffee for free. Check them out...you won't be disappointed! Make New Day your go to coffee for home brewing!

Puts a smile on everyone's face, I promise you! Paula's donuts are much larger than most places in town. So large, they look heavy. You don't even need to eat a whole one to reach your maximum sugar intake for the day but dang, they sure are deeeeelicious! I always pickup a honey glazed donut. If that was the only donut available in the world, I would be totally happy with that and never complain. It's perfection. Thick, fluffy, soft, sugary goodness. Go home, mic it for 10 secs and eat slowly with a tall glass of cold milk. Paula's has donut holes, a variety of donuts, the best Bavarian Crème donut, I've ever had in my life, they have some pastries, bagels, breakfast/lunch sandwiches (which I do very much enjoy) and coffee! They also have a HUGE donut that I've ordered for birthdays and the Super Bowl, you create it the way you want, put on a cute plate and serve (no one will miss the cake/cupcakes). This location has ample parking, a decent size seating/dining area, well lit with plenty of sunlight coming through the windows so you can sit and contemplate why you're eating so many donuts and how to lose weight. Oh, and the staff is great! They keep things moving efficiently here.

They were that good and on our minds after our initial visit. Both times we visited the location was busy and we had to wait in a small line. Service is very efficient and they take care of you quickly once you're at the counter. All of the donuts we ordered were perfect. One of the kids got a limited edition burger donut with proceeds being donated to the local Ronald McDonald house. It was a very inventive donut with glazed donuts as the burger buns, half a chocolate glazed as the burger patty, and different creams making up the cheese and condiments. So unique and for a good cause! Indoor seating is available which we took advantage of, as we could not wait to enjoy our donuts. I wish we lived close by as we would be regulars. I feel the donuts are fairly priced for the quality. Expect to pay more than your local Dunkin or Tim Hortons, but you can also expect the quality is way better. Fresh homemade donuts can't be beat.

Paula's Donuts helped heal me after surgery - seriously. But first, a few words about the best…read moredonuts in the United States. I feel confident that statement is true. These are not featherweight, boring, drive thru chain donuts that never fail to disappoint. The box says they are "made with love" and while I certainly hope the bakers and makers are not oozing affection for the creations as they do their job (because that would get weird right?), the recipes and standards of ultra high quality that this unique WNY establishment has sure shows a respect and appreciation for their customers. The dough is light and never greasy tasting. The cream fillings are also fluffy and airy and melt in your mouth. Jellies are all top notch and let me be clear, the donuts are packed full with whatever is inside. Or on top. The headlights are incredible. Peanut butter offerings (several to choose from) are stellar. I'm not sure if the chocolate icing is a ganache but it seems much more like a ganache than the lousy, dried out icing you might find at places we need not mention. Staff are always courteous, polite and fast. I think each donut is going for about $2.30 but well worth it for the size and quality. A box of 3 is heavy to hold. You get a lot of donut for your buck. I've been on a Paula's kick for a couple months, stopping in when appropriate for my donut desires but trying to be mindful of my waistline. I like to sit down and really enjoy every bite. These are not ordinary donuts, they are an experience to savor. But how do Paula's donuts help one recover from surgery? It's about what you might do with them. My friend picked me up and brought me home after the hospital and slyly produced a bag of donuts for me, which I sat down and ate the minute I walked in the door. The unexpected gesture of something I've been enjoying a lot lately certainly took my mind off any discomfort. Nice friend, right? Part of recovery is having supportive friends and family and I'm glad I've got that. And I'm glad I also got a bag of donuts to make a "rough day" a lot better. So, Paula's people - I haven't tried them all yet so I guess I'm going to have to return. (Image is different donuts from a different day.)

Interesting concept indeed.. I mean I have gone through plenty of coffee shops that had a drive…read morethru option. But I never been to a place that only has drive thru, and no dining area until now. 7 Brew is strictly drive thru, and from the lines people are loving it. When in line an employee walks up to your car and places your order. After placing your order and paying at that time. You move forward and collect your drink items at the pickup station. Traffic is only one way, so there's a nice flow of things. Only issue is when you're leaving out and traffic is coming in. Things can get a bit congested, I wished there were other options to exit and enter this location. Cookie butter blondie- what a great tasting drink.. yes it's totally on the sweet side. But you can always get sugar free options as well, or just less sweeteners.

This is a very very busy drive-through only coffee shop. It's on the corner of Bailey and Maple,…read moresort of right behind Wegmans. Often they have traffic going out into the street, which seems very dangerous to me. They have two lanes of drive-through. The employees are super friendly. They don't use an app you have to order in person each time. And if you get stuck behind someone who has some very large complicated order you are definitely going to wait for a while. I would encourage them to find a way to have people pull aside when they have a very complicated large order so that the line can continue moving for the people who just have a coffee behind them. Or to have one lane where people are only having very simple, basic coffees, hot, or cold. That would definitely keep things moving a lot faster. I got my coffee, because it was a basic coffee, but I was still stuck for over five minutes behind a very complicated order in front of me that evidently had been done incorrectly the first time. That's where the system is going to break down and that's why they have all these cars pulled out into the street waiting to get into the drive-through. There's definitely some operations person that can figure this out to be more efficient and effective and less dangerous for all the traffic. The coffee was nice, but I would hesitate to come back because of the labor, intense time intensive process all around. I'm in the area often and sometimes the line goes all the way back to the light at Wegmans. There's no way this isn't going to cause accidents and traffic problems. The loss of stars is due to the lack of traffic management and planning.

If you are as adorably crumudgeonly on such matters, support local! The sisters that run Unapologetic Coffee are creating something special. My work schedule doesn't allow me to get there in person very much, but when it happens its worth it. I said what I said is a fine brew either hot or cold and I am sure Black Mixed with Black will class up my home brewer until I can pay my next visit. If you want a damn fine cup of coffee, latte, made with care and respect from some incredible people, swing by the Best Self building and pay them a visit. The sisters who run the place are creating something special.
