A relatively small and unassuming coffee shop. But this shop is anything but small, has multiple rooms for reading and a HUGE book selection. Menu is also pretty large, with typical breakfast/ lunch foods and below the $10 range. Isn’t overpriced like many newer coffee shops in south buffalo. Is usually pretty quiet if you can find the right time and even if it isn’t what an amazing place. The only cashier that I’ve seen there is also wonderful, always answers my questions and is patient with me. 5/5 would tell anyone to go check out!

Looked for an afternoon pick up of a coffee, tea and some sweet things. This place is a treasure, exactly what this weary traveler was seeking. Friendly smiles, yummy drinks, intriguing reads. Man, I hope to be back soon. I love a locally owned, independent joint ❤️☕🍵🥐

Dont go here if youre in a hurry. The good is good but its takes FOREVER to receive it. The bookstore is small but there is a very good selection, especially of local authors.

Such a calming atmosphere! Came here with my friends, and everything tastes amazing. The bookstore is adorable too to just relax and have a good read. Definitely recommend!

Got a breakfast burrito which was awesome, freshly made!.. I also got a coconut chocolate chip pastry square which was too good cuz Ill be going back for probably too many of those. The girl making the food was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and they have lots of fresh healthy items for breakfast lunch or dinner... Nice little patio in the back also, Ill be going back soon with my daughter!..oh. also plenty of indoor seating with a great relaxed vibe in the bookstore...

This place is a little Gem tucked away in south Buffalo. The owner (Tom) is top notch and will go out of his way to help you out. The atmosphere is so relaxing to grab something from the café, snag a book from the book store, and chill out in the reading room. If you are in south Buffalo this is a must stop or heck just come to south Buffalo to check this place out. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

This is a gorgeous book shop / cafe with friendly service, a great selection of books (including local authors) and has wonderful coffee with delicious food. Truly a dream come true for coffee loving readers! Im really excited I found this place and will be back again soon.

Great hole in the wall book shop that supports local authors. Nice Cafe with healthy sandwiches & salads.

Drinks were great, but food was not as good as we had hoped, unfortunately.

Very nice place to eat and have coffee and enjoy a great book or 2. Hang with friends and more. They have a nice outside area to sit and enjoy what you order. Kid friendly as well.

Never a bad experience at dog ears. Great food, great people and a friendly, welcoming environment. We only wish we went there more often. I think we’ll go today!

Went on my lunch break to visit this really coolSpot I’ve passed a bunch of times and it is amazing! Can’t overstate enough how cool, chill and cozy the vibe is inside this cafe. It’s also a really tastefully done bookstore with really welcoming decor, great selection, and even lots of comfy chairs to sit and enjoy your coffee, lunch or pastry’s. I will definitely return and look forward to doing work, reading, and having client meetings at this super cool place. Brian the manager came and greeted me and made sure I had all I needed and more. Great place if you like good food, amazing coffee drinks, and a place to find a great book or cozy nook to get some reading or work done.

Food was good. Service was pretty good as well. It was quite warm inside.

Clean, timely, good selection of food with oldies playing in background. If they dont have a certain book they will order it for you.They have different childrens activities too !

There are very few local bookstores left and Dog Ears has a great selections of books on local history.

Very cute bookstore thats a non profit to boot.had a chai tea latte and some banana bread at the cafe. Both were delicious!

Such a great store. A nice place to buy a book from the book store and an unbelievable sandwich from the cafe. When in-house seating is allowed again, the quiet ambiance is a perfect place for me time.

What a nice surprise! A cozy coffee cafe near Cazinovia. Gingerbread latte, yum!

I ADORE this place. I used to come every Saturday afternoon and I was always served amazing food and good hospitality! The bookstore does have childrens books and adult novels! HIGHLY recommend as a nice date or hang out spot!!

A charming little cafe, with friendly staff and delicious food. The bookstore has recent releases and classics. Almost like a little home away from home.

Comfortable atmosphere. Large selection of books friendly service delicious fresh made pastries.

I had a Cappuccino, with a fresh Blueberry Scone. Generally have tea, the coffee was a treat. The warm scone was delicious.

What a delightful place this is!! The coffee and treats are delicious with vegan options. The choice of books is excellent. There is a wonderful childrens room and the bookstore is conveniently located two blocks from Mercy Hospital.

Happened upon this place unexpectedly, love the relaxed feeling and book/cafe combo! Food looked tasty though I only got ☕. You can request a ceramic mug to help the planet too. Definitely will be returning for book and coffee needs.

This is such a welcoming, homey feeling bookstore/ cafe. Your waited on, the minute you walk in. Homemade specials, desserts..places to sit & read, quiet you can talk & hear the other person..Such a great selection of books. They offer children many little classes of reading, crafts, singing..its so perfect for South Buffalo New York..go and check them out, youll be glad you did..

Great place for coffee and books for kids and adults.

Good sandwiches and coffee comfortable atmosphere.

Nice environment, some free literature, nice cozy area to sit inside. Food, coffee and books 🌻

This is the place to go in south buffalo if you want to read a book, and drink fantastic coffee. The staff is so welcoming, and helpful. They once gave me a free drink because I had to wait a couple minutes. Outstanding! Also a great selection of new books.📚 ☕ 📚 ☕ 📚

Ive loved this place since the day one. I grew up in South Buffalo and have had so many great memories here. The food and drinks at the cafe are delicious and the book store is a gem.

A nice cozy store. Everyone was very nice, they all greeted me as I came and left. I wish they had a larger selection of books. However, if they dont have what you want, theyll order it. Nice cafe too. Would definitely go back.

Great Bookstore and cafe. My wife, daughter and I love coming in for a cup of coffee, or hot chocolate, playing one of the board games and just relaxing with each other catching up on family time. Food and coffee are delicious! Great customer service and a wonderful bookstore to boot!

I highly recommend Dog Ears if you want to get some work done, and want a intimate place to relax. Their food is great; Ive had several of the sandwiches now, and my favorite is the Alexandre Dumas. The manager is the sweetest. I keep coming back.

A local business that serves good food, great variety of coffees and teas. Friendly Service. Also its a bookstore with evening events for adults and children. Check it out, youll go back.

Very cute, friendly, warm cafe with a great vibe in south Buffalo. The attached book store has a lot of great local authors. Staff was wonderful. Will definitely be back to try the food.

The food is wonderful! Im trying to slowly make my way through their menu, because Ill never make it through their book selection! Excellent choice for a quick bite or a gathering with friends

Great place, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. They have good coffee, homemade food and snacks. A truly nice neighborhood place, its really nice to have a place like this close to home. If you work at Mercy hospital, come here for coffee or some lunch! Theres nothing else like it nearby.

This place is great! Love getting coffee from this local establishment. Friendly staff. Great for a quick bite to eat or to relax with a paper or book. Also great place to meet with friends. Cozy atmosphere with lots of books for sale.

The Chai Lattes are legit. The atmosphere is phenomenal. Great for a stop on your way to or from work, quiet library-like environment to study, read or work. Neat place to meet friends and colleagues. Open mic nights too!

Coffee shop, restaurant and bookstore. Whats not to love? Casual dining. Good salads, sandwiches, sup. Plus, the profits are used to support literacy for children. Highly recommend supporting this place!

Great place to meet up with friends. Great food. Love the scones. Awesome coffee bonus free refills. Plus plenty of the books from local authors .

Fantastic bookstore and cafe. The bookstore is a nonprofit, and sales benefit many community-focused programs. The cafe is my favorite spot in Buffalo to get coffee/specialty drinks/sandwiches. Its cozy and centrally located in South Buffalo.

Pretty nice place, I dig it. It has a lot of unique elements to it which make it a good joint to visit if youre not feeling your average coffee place

Adorable cafe, helpful and pleasant staff, great food. And it shares space with a bookstore. My happy place.

I love it here. Everyone is so friendly and kind. The drinks are great. Theres a good selection of books. Plus a selection from local authors! Some of them frequent Dog Ears as well.

Had lunch here its a nice quiet spot to relax read and get a bite to eat

I been going here for 8 years, back when it was the Caz Coffee Cafe. The open floor plan truly lets the place breathe, and is fully integrated with the book store, encouraging you to sip and study or read. This is my retreat when my messy home is too much to bear! The addition of the outdoor patio is a long awaited wonderland. They have the BEST coffee, and fantastic food. Stuffed French Toast to KILL for and sammies that are as original as they are tasty. I love this place. Truly. They also offer classes and reading programs for kids and have a long standing book club that Im a member of which is one of the highlights of my month. Its a blessing for South Buffalo, and I hope this institution never closes.

Place is great. Manager is coolo

Called to get store hours was told they would be open till 5:00pm that day, set up meeting with friend for 3:30pm arrived to find Cafe had closed. Very disappointed.

A fantastic small business model, a cafe coupled with a book store. This quaint establishment offers a reading selection that is contemporary, and light dishes and artisan drinks that are tasty. The business is wonderfully managed, and the owners, who I have personally met, are welcoming and likeable. This place is certainly a highlight of the South Buffalo community it serves.

Great find in South Buffalo! It is a cozy place with lots of different options for coffee. Its unique setting in a bookstore is definitely worth the trip.

Satisfied.

Great place to meet up with friends and chat. Cozy and quaint. Go and see what its all about!

Very cute café. Nice Americano and company, good place to sit and read :)

I really like this place. You can hangout, use wifi get coffee/tea, and good food. I only wish they had more outlets but you can find them in the front.

Such a awesome local place. People are always friendly and their food/pastries are always so good! I love that they always have a day old pastries for a dollar too.

Good casual place friendly staff food orders kinda slow at lunch. Took 2 coffee to get but great coffee

Good food and service at a reasonable price. Also, the right kind of ambiance to kick back with a book while having some lunch.

Thus is a delightful, cozy bookstore that adds much to the neighborhood in terms of author signings, and childrens events. They do afterschool and summer activities. Its rare to see a non-profit bookshop. Even rarer to see it flourish. Vivant!

Very cute little cafe with delicious food! Its right next to the park too. Ill definitely be back!

Nice atmosphere good food/coffee/service...great books!

Awesome breakfast options and delicious paninis

Came here while hunting Pokemon, and was feeling rather hot because of the humidity and havent tried this place in the 7 years Ive been a Buffalonian, even though Ive walked by it more than a thousand times!! I got a strawberry smoothie which turned out to, not only save me from a heat stroke or heat exhaustion, but it was the best smoothie Ive had in a long time. Staff was very friendly! I would recommend this place to everyone. Definitely will be coming back for more smoothies.

Terrific coffee, panni sandwiches, & wonderfully delicious soup. Interesting assortment of books. The shop is small so the book selection is too but of interest is a large shelf dedicated to local WNY authors.

An amazing cafe and bookstore, with a childrens literacy center upstairs. Toms work in the community for children, readers, and writers everywhere is astounding and truly helps make Buffalo a better place!

Relaxing atmosphere less than a 5 minute walk from Mercy Hospital. Tons of books! Large coffee on Friday was $0.71!

Friendly and inviting staff. Has things for all ages.

Love this place, its so cozy ! Every drink Ive gotten here has been wonderful and everyone has always been friendly. The feel of the place is wonderful and romantic too .

Great spot to eat and relax. Needs more gluten free food items.

Perfect place to cozy up with a book, or laptop and enjoy a cold day at. The staff is fantastically friendly and overall great atmosphere, surprising good coffee, and excellent wi-fi! What more can you ask for! Even the music is soft enough that you can make calls in relative peace.

Owner is a hellava guy

This place has wonderful soups, salads and panninis/wraps

Excellent food, very nice space, friendly staff. A wonderful first experience.

Lovely store and great service. Highly recommended.

Grat place to catch a bite

Great little coffee shop with good food and baked goods my Lanie !

Pleasant clean coffee bar with excellent sandwiches, courteous and prompt service in setting of small but thoughtful bookshop.

Food was decent but the service was the slowest Ive ever encountered.
