The food was terrific and the staff friendly. On top of all that they had the best gluten free menu I've seen around. Perfect for my fiancee!

We’re visiting town and chose this place based on the multiple, creative vegetarian and gluten-free menu options. I’m GF and my mom is vegetarian. I was very happy they had a mock-tail to offer as well. I’m so happy we came here the food was absolutely delicious. Reasonably priced and a relaxed atmosphere.

BEWARE ! I bought a new product for spot coffee. David's cookies. Gluten free chocolate chip brownie, nut free, dairy free, 44 percent sugar, 44 percent added sugar. Total 88 % sugar. No way. Not acceptable. Not healthy!

Lovely, quiet coffeehouse with excellent atmosphere. Coffee was good, latte was great, but the gluten free waffle was inedible. I originally thought the dough hadn't been mixed enough, but when I complained I was told "that must be the sugar cubes." I've had liege waffles before and typically the sugar chunks are much smaller, not the size of a pea. And normally sugar is sweet. It's a shame because the toppings on my waffle were great and it's so good to see gluten free options. I just don't think the sugar chunks work with the gluten free mix they use.

Super little very "local good" supermarket, well stocked with lots of very good products, organic, gluten free... Afterwards, in terms of prices it hurts... but it's worth it and we also pay for the "bobo" neighborhood of Elmwood in Buffalo

The Lunch Box catered my sons college graduation party this month and we would highly recommend. The food was incredible and beyond what we expected. We had ordered various sandwich platters which came with incredible sides. Many compliments from our guests on all of the dishes. The portions were perfect and everything was delectable. The fresh fruit was especially wonderful and we were pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the gluten free options were. Ben was very easy to work with and so accommodating. We felt the price was very reasonable. We we definitely be ordering from The Lunch Box again!

TLDR: I wish I could comment on the food, but we never received it. They canceled our online order without telling us! My partner and I traveled to Buffalo this weekend for a wedding. Traveling can be challenging because she has celiac disease. We found Owl Eyes Cafe and were so excited about the gluten free options. We placed the order online for pickup with an approximate time 45 minutes from when we placed it. As an aside, I called the restaurant 3 times before placing to make sure there were no nuts in the food. They never answered. When I arrive to the restaurant, the staff told me they canceled our food order. They ran out of gluten free rolls, so they didn't make it. Which seems reasonable. They didn't make my breakfast sandwich because "the kitchen was confused and didn't want to make the wrong thing." The obvious problem is 0% communication. They canceled the food order online without ever notifying us. The website says we would receive text updates, but I never did. It seems like basic decency to call. I took an Uber to get there and an Uber back. I wish we would've known.

This little bakery is so cute. There is parking if you go past a little- I didn't realize that at first. Everyone is really friendly and helpful. The croissants were pretty good, but were kind of crunchy/crumbled a little too easily for me. Wasn't a huge fan of the Raspberry frosting cookie- but I think it's gluten free or something and that's why. Overall- would definitely come back and try their breakfast menu because there was a whole bunch of different options.

LOVE public espresso!! Best coffee in buffalo and great food. Wish they would bring back their gluten free donuts, they were amazing!

The food, atmosphere, and service was exceptional. I had a egg sandwich with a gluten-free bun. Delicious! I am a disabled person with a above the knee prosthetic. I was meet with exceptional service. On my out one of their wonderful staff members, Danny, walked me to my car. Above and beyond.

I had a great experience at Toasted! The Italian Fruit toast was amazing and the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that all my needs were met. I have a gluten allergy, but the gluten-free options were just as delicious and did not impact the taste one bit! The ambiance of the place was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Toasted to anyone looking for a great experience. :)

It was okay, we drank cocoa there that was made with water, which I personally don't like. The cake was okay and there were gluten-free alternatives.

In September 2023, I visited for the 1st time Overwinter's Genesee Street cafe. The barista was nice. Besides buying a bag of Easy Drinker beans (my fav), I tried a coffee I never had before. There are a couple of bar stools at the window and a couple of tables outside. The date energy balls were good (vegan & gluten free). I frequent other Overwinter locations.

Robert Bell

Great place to study, cats are partitioned in another room but you can see them through the windows for those allergic, also they have gluten free pastries!

Kristen Ryan

Always been a fan of the Chippewa location. This one is just as great and includes parking. Perfect chill place. Great coffee. Mike's sandwich on gluten free Kaiser was amazing. Regular bread for grilled cheese and BLT was a little dry which was surprising. Other then that it was perfect.

The workers were really sweet and it was beautiful in there! I loved how they had gluten free & vegan options because i was really craving a muffin when i went in and i was so happy to see that they had gf options. I got an iced coffee with vanilla and it was delish. I’m excited to go again soon!

Delicious soups and sandwiches. Great gluten free and vegetarian options. True Elmwood staple.

Panera Bread, which many people know and love, has an interesting history. It started back in 1987 as the St. Louis Bread Company. The company was purchased by Au Bon Pain Co. in 1993 and was rebranded as Panera Bread in 1997. With its headquarters in Sunset Hills, Missouri, Panera Bread has grown into a beloved chain throughout the United States and Canada. One of the reasons for its popularity is the emphasis on fresh, clean ingredients—no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors from artificial sources. Their menu is quite diverse, offering everything from fresh-baked goods, like bagels and pastries, to café items, such as sandwiches, salads, soups, and specialty beverages. They also cater to various dietary needs with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. I appreciate Panera's cozy, community-oriented atmosphere, which makes it a perfect spot for meetings or casual gatherings. They’ve embraced technology with their Panera 2.0 initiative, which introduced online ordering, rapid pick-up, and delivery services. This has made it incredibly convenient to enjoy their offerings. They even have a line of packaged products available in grocery stores under the "Panera at Home" brand. Panera Bread is also committed to social responsibility through programs like Day-End Dough-Nation, where they donate leftover bakery items to local charities. They’ve focused on sustainability by using responsibly sourced ingredients and reducing their environmental footprint. Owned by JAB Holding Company since 2017, Panera continues to innovate and expand, keeping up with customer needs and preferences.
