So many products to choose from. Great selections and they carry hard to find items. I checked out their candy/confectioners isle and was really impressed! Store is kept extremely clean and tidy. Employees are friendly and helpful. Great ambiance and reasonable prices.

Was on the hunt for some seasonal pumpkin beer and came upon blackbird cider (ghost latern) that is amazing. Locally brewed cider with a kick of ghost pepper. This place typically has many odd beers you wont find elsewhere

Wide selection of alcohol & kitchen items. Whatever your alcohol preference,they have the cheeses and chocolates to pair it with. Well organized easy to find what you need. Great staff.

Very diverse selections of beers and spirits. The beer was rather unorganized in the freezer and took around 30 minutes to find the beers I was looking for on the site and there was some misleading information about case discounts. I was told we could mix and match 4 or 6 packs all wed want and that there was a 24-pack case discount over the phone, but when I got there was told that I could mix and match, but not get a case discount, which is opposite of what I was told over the phone.

Great selection, very knowledgeable staff. We had actually came here to by a set of all clad cookware. Unfortunately they are not carrying any longer. We did grab a case of wine and ordered a couple of sandwiches. Absolutely delicious

I needed a special order and the manager Joel was super responsive and had called me back the same day and already had the order in for me, he call me when the order was in so I could pick it up immediately. Very happy with the service!

I love shopping at premier. what I found there was excellent as usual, however selection was limited particularly in the frozen food section. I went in looking for pork pie and nothing. plus very little in the frozen foods.

Premier Gourmet is one of the best places to shop for beer. Selection is amazing, staff are very helpful, will go out of their way to find something for you. Highly recommend. And their food selection is great too, as well as their coffee.

Outstanding store. Employees are friendly and greet you on entering. A wide selection of various different products such as candies, toys, sporting goods, clothing and electronics. It is as the name suggest most of the items are $5 dollars and under. This is a great place to come for home school projects, activities and any other fun thing you can think of. I would say head in and take a look around I guarantee you will walk out with something.

I love this store. They used to have like a Thai curry chicken salad (or something like that name) and it was sooo good! They don’t have it anymore but I HIGHLY suggest you bring it back. It was the best chicken salad I bought from a store.

Love it, they have the hard to find items, they do drive up pick up, which works great, employees are always friendly and helpful which sometimes, is hard to find. I dont go there much, but, when I need something unusual. Its worth the drive

Oomg I love this place. Its amazing. Best liquor store and gourmet shop in buffalo. I always come and find some unique beer and cider. The staff is really knowledgeable and they are always willing to talk about the product. Even when you know what you are getting having a conversation with them will help. They are also following covid protocols. So good on them.

One side of the store has gigantic collection of wines and spirits. Other side has huge collection of craft beers and specialty ingredients, cheese etc.Guy in the beer section is so helpful and he walked us to the walking cooler and gave a introduction to speciality beers hand picked by the store manager. You can buy craft beers which are arranged by the region.

This place it great for cooking tools and gadgets. Good beer and selection and specialty food. Wanted so bad to find a place for great fresh coffee and you can tell the beans and roast is good. However these dispensers are absolutely filthy. The oils left behind from years of being neglected from a simple cleaning make these excellent beans taste disgusting. They are rotten. What a shame. I know its hard to get good employees but management has completely dropped the ball. Make an employee clean them! Im referring specifically to the Amherst location. Cant speak on any others.

Premier Gourmet is one of the best specialty stores that we have in the area! Definitely the place to go for coffee beans, imported beer, deli and cheeses and even small appliances. The staff are always helpful. Its convenient with Premier Wines in the same building.

I enjoy shopping at Premier because the variety of utensils and gadgets they have is amazing and I love to browse thru the store and I can usually find anything I need and things I didnt even know I needed. The food and spices are top notch and Premier Gourmet is an enjoyable experience. I would be remiss if I left out the helpful and informed staff,they are terrific.

Fantastic assortment of hard to find items for cooking and food lovers alike. Some of the great selections they have are:Beer from all over the worldCoffeeTeaHot saucesBitters for mixed drinksAnd the list goes on. They also have a deli counter and fresh bread. One thing I hardly see people ordering but more people definitely should are their sandwiches, namely the boulevard club.

A really fun beer store with beers available from all across the country. Theres also a selection of beers from other countries allowing you to drink the tastes of brew from around the world. The wine and spirits side of the store is enormous and if you cant find what youre looking for Im sure theyll order it, or go on the website. The mini food court slash deli is filled with delicious buffalo staples and cheese!

This is where you go when you are a foodie, and love high quality cookware, beer, and wine across the way. They also have awesome coffee and make great food. If you are looking for a great knife set, cookware, glassware, or the eclectic cooking utensils than this is the place. The beer selection is very diverse. And I bet you can find beverages from each corner of the world. Go across the way and take advantage of their great wine sales as well.

Looking for a gift for some friends leaving Buffalo. Etched beer mugs and some Buffalo-born beer made the perfect gift. Always something for us as well. My boys love coming here as well. Theres always something interesting, delicious, or something to look at that youll never be able to afford (espresso/coffee makers).

Largest selection of overpriced food and beverage related accessories Ive ever seen. I guess the govt hand out to move to Amherst was not sufficient for this for profit company. Oh and way to many people in the store, shoulder to shoulder, no wonder covid is out of control in erie county.

I went to buy ingredients for a cheese board. I came out of the store with a renewed love for cheese after the fantastic guide of their cheese expert. Several other customers that were there also seemed to be having as much fun with the tasting and learning about cheeses as I was. What a difference it makes when you talk with someone that loves their product and knows about it as much as Glen does!!! Their selection of beers, cheeses, coffees and gourmet tools is so much fun!!!Loved my visit to the store yesterday. Ill be shopping there more often. Their service, quality of products and overall feel are exceptional.

Best place for craft beer in Buffalo by far. Their tap list and bottle selection is superior to the others in the area. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and can help guide you to new beers based upon your favorite styles or taste. Im not sure how they do it but their tap list ALWAYS has solid beer unlike the other guys in town. I keep an empty growler in my car so anytime Im out that way I can stop in and grab a world class beer. Keep up the great work!

With an employee named Ken as my tour guide among the plethora of beer selections, my journey ended happily with a new West Coast IPA choice, a New England Hazy IPA selection, and a 4 pint Iron Maiden lager called The Trooper that intend for use for tailgating prior to Maiden concert in Buffalo tomorrow night!2 Minutes to Midnight indeed.

Location is right next to a liquor store making an easy stop off for grabbing supplies. It boasts a number of utensils to buy as well as Gourmet Foods in the back which are very good, if youre willing to pay the price. Overall store provides very nice higher-end cookware and ingredients at a price that is reasonable.

Review №78

Great selection of beer, ciders, and other lighter alcoholic beverages. If you want something fresh on tap, there are several varied selections to hit most flavor profiles you can get a growler of to take home. The little extras of small food selections helps round out good reasons why to stop by and shop here. And as an added bonus if you need most any style cookware that can also be found right upon entering the store.

Not only do they have a great selection of wines and beers, but they have a variety of other items!I love Boar Heads meat, but finding it in Buffalo is so hard to do. They have a wide range of selections in the entire deli.They also have a quaint cozy cafe and a variety of other products all centered around Buffalo. Great options for gift ideas. Prices are fairly reasonable too.

Review №88

A store with a wide assortment of difficult to find ingredients and cookware. This is not a grocery store, if you are looking for vanilla beans, spices, or cheeses that you do not normally see at your regular store, this is the place you will find it. They also carry high end knives and appliances, along with other high quality items that represent Buffalo food culture. You should check it out at least once for yourself.

I love that this place is a one stop shop for finer spirits, craft brews, and wines. Their gourmet store has an awesome selection of snack/bar foods and higher end products like gourmet cheese, desserts, and other food. Their fill up station for growlers is convenient and the set up allows beer to stay fresher, longer than any other establishments growler service. Also, love the fact that they offer spirit and wine tasting classes. I would also recommend it for any at home chefs, tons of kitchen supplies from appliances to utensils, and decorative pieces.
