I havent written a review for a place ever, but I just have too for here. It was such a sweet little place, the coffee was great and my mother can attest that the smoothies are amazing as well. Its also clearly a very accepting space, and has a larger book selection than youd except. My mother had gone to 2 separate Barnes and Nobles looking for a certain book, she didnt find it there but she managed to find it at this shop. The staff are amazing as well may I add, very helpful and receptive to questions- and also just cheerful and joyful to talk to in general.

Theyve got really good coffee. Roasted there and good pastries. I enjoyed sitting on the top deck, too. The pumpkin bread is good too.

Cute bookstore, good coffee. Would have given 5 stars, but I am not a fan of the man from the bookstore side, rudely interrupting out conversation to ask us to leave, 10 min before close. I know what time you close, and we were already getting ready to go. I have wondered about this store for years. This was my 1st visit, and because of him, likely my last.

I love to support my local small business.. but the owner at this place was extremely rude! I heard her tell another lady that she could careless if she lost customers....um? And the website says community driven.. I think not!!Bring your business elsewhere.. to a small business that appreciates the community that supports them!

Review №12

I love supporting small, local businesses, especially this past year through the pandemic. Ive especially enjoyed coming here, where two of my favorite things are sold, books and coffee. Unfortunately today I had a pretty poor experience with customer service, and I wont be back. The owner (?? Or Im assuming she was), decided to police how we wore our masks (post mandate too), and said she refused to serve us if we didnt wear it appropriately. Which, of course, is her right as a business owner. But as we left and said wed go elsewhere, she insisted that shes okay with losing Our business. Too bad. Ill continue to support local businesses that can be respectful of everyone, and dont take it upon themselves to police everyone walking through their doors.

My mocha was fantastic! They have free wifi and a very large selection of books. My only gripe is my daughter insists on purchasing a book Everytime Im here. Lol. Seriously though, very knowledgeable staff for both books and coffee beverages.

Review №36

Buffalo is so lucky to have this place. I have never had a negative experience here. The staff is beyond friendly and always helpful and kind. The new addition is wonderful and makes shopping or stopping by for a drink even more pleasant and comfortable. The prices on books are competitive and they can usually order books that arent in stock quickly.

Its fine. Coffee isnt especially nuanced (dont expect sophisticated, hipster-style notes), but its fine. The books are cool; tasteful selection, with a good vibe to the setup.

Love this local bookstore. Great selection, welcoming staff, and wonderful coffee. We buy our fair trade coffee to take home as well as enjoy a latte and conversation in the coffee nook. Lots of creative greeting cards to choose from. Be sure to stop on your next trip to shop in Buffalo or make it your gathering spot. We love Buffalo Books and Coffee. Thanks for the delights!

My husband and I go in at least once a week for coffee. We also love buying books here. If they do not have the book we are looking for they have always offered to order them in for us. We truly love the staff and they are always kind and welcoming.

This is exactly what you would want in a local Indy book store. It is warm and friendly, with the greatest staff. They always have stock of the books we are looking for, and I’m a huge reader. There are often signed copies of new titles in which is such a treat. Normally we are just there for the books but the coffee bar is great and has all the selection you could want. Please support your local businesses, gems like this one are too precious to lose!

Looking for gift ideas and found several!! Comfortable chairs to sit in and overview. Small groups of friends sitting,visiting with great shades of coffee. Even the newspaper available. Store employees available, knowledgeable and will order books.

Review №65

I truly love this place. Im a huge book enthusiast and call me crazy but I have caught myself in the middle of up to five books a the same time. All that aside I by all my books here they always have a great selection and if they ever are lacking the book Im looking for they are very good at finding and ordering it for me in a very timely manor. I had ordered a special book for a friend a few weeks ago and needed it in before I left. Normally a week is pushing it. But they did what they could and got it t me the day before I had to leave. I miss the smell of fresh pages and coffee already but I can promise ill be going back here soon.

Good selection of books. Its always nice to stop in here and check out the books, read the back covers, and browse a few pages. Support a local business instead of buying from Amazon all the time. If this book store doesnt have the book youre looking for, ask them to order it for you.
