We were visiting our daughter and this is one of her favorite places. Food is delicious and fresh. I like that they are environmentally conscious and local sourced for food. I found the wood stoves down in the basement where the bathrooms are. Pretty cool!Weve since been back for a second wonderful breakfast.

I visited Buffalo city summer 18 and i came to this cafe for breakfast. The parking was super difficult because it was Street parking. The services were excellent and the workers were super friendly. I had a black coffee and it was ok but the breakfast was amazing. You should try the grilled cheese sandwich. Highly recommended.

Nice ambience and atmosphere, felt relaxed and comfortable. Enjoyed the food and coffee. French toast was good along with the bacon. Food came quick and hot. Staff was friendly as well.

Its been sometime since my last visit, glad to see everything is still the same. The place is still hipster and alot of energy is throughout the restaurant. The menu seemed like it increased since last time, but that just could be me. You have a paper menu as well as a chalkboard menu behind the counter. This visit my wife had coffee and a pear muffin, and I had the chai latte and the Huevos Rancheros. The chai latte had a very strong spice to it and it was good, but it lack sweetness. My Huevos Rancheros was also good. It consists of beans, salsa, sour cream with 2 eggs made any way you wanted. I opted for scrambled and now we finish off this dish with chorizo sausage. All inside of a floured tortilla shell. There are other options other than for breakfast, plus SN7 offers a large list of vegan foods as well.

Great options, for a variety of eaters. Staff could be a little more friendly, but the cafe itself is charming.

Wonderful place to stop in for coffee/tea, or grab a bite to eat. Many options to choose from including vegetarian, vegan, and organic.

Food and menu were good! Croque madame was fabulous!

Very cool place in a ... decent part of Buffalo. Had the farmers breakfast with scrambled, great breakfast sausage (made across the street), great hash browns, tomato, beans and house made English muffins. Take it one step further - coffee (Americano) was flavorful and actually served at the right temperature - well done funky barista people! Go here. Lock your car. ;)

This cafe applied for a PPP loan Paycheck Protection Loan during March 2021 the pandemic, and listed me as one of their retained employees. I am in New York City and have not set foot in Buffalo NYC. This is fraudulent. All telephone numbers associated with Sweet Ness 7 cafe and Dalia Lama, Inc. cannot be reached. They have closed, but applied and received an SBA loan. They fraudulently listed me as their employee. I reported you to the Inspector Generals Office, I have already submitted a complaint. This is identity theft.

I visited this place with family for breakfast, ordered the french toast, breakfast tacos, spanish scrambled. Lovely place in the city.They had a concept of self service which was also nice.

My husband said his cappuccino was amazing as was my cup of tea. Id have taken pictures of his farmers breakfast and my croque madame, but they were too delicious! The staff is super friendly and chill. I cant believe it took us 7 years in Buffalo to come here, especially because well be back constantly!

Great food and the best cup of coffee and only a block away from my house.

Quaint hipster-ish ambiance, good food (meat, vegetarian, and vegan options). Had a really good café latte. They use Guatemalan fair trade coffee beans and support ethical food, farming and trade practices, which is important to me. Had their huevos rancheros with vegan sausage swapped for the spicy sausage they usually serve it with. You can get the eggs any style. It all comes on a big whole wheat flour tortilla wrap. There are regular tables and a big table for anyone to sit with a chess/checkerboard, scrabble, the art papers et c. The staff is low key and not snobby, which is a must for me. All in all a good experience.

Beautiful atmosphere with all natural food and drink. Educated and personable staff. Great experience always.

I ate here on the morning of 1 July 2019 after returning from a trip to Niagara Falls before going home to NYC. Found it in the HappyCow app and there were plenty of delicious vegan options to choose from. The food and the interior ambience was beautiful and inviting. Beautiful art, an Obama painting, and progressive literature to read. If I am ever in Buffalo area again I will eat here again.

Hip young coffee shop, great food, locals seem to gather here

Beautiful atmosphere and great service.

Love the lavender green tea and their oatmeal is pretty good.

It’s a very good place for brunch . Food was really good and fresh though there will be a wait time if you go over the weekends and it’s hard to even find a place to sit .However, it’s worth it !

Very friendly staff. Good coffee and food. Large vegan selection. Great brunch spot.

Great food, decent coffee. Chill place. Grest first impression of buffalo eats!

I only had an amazing chai latte, but everything here looks quite tasty.

Really love the atmosphere here and the music playing is lovely. My boyfriend and I both got the Grant Slam, which is a large breakfast sandwich, and was delicious! The fact that they have a full bar was shocking and incredible. Will have to plan to come back and take advantage of that soon... their coffee/drinks list is extensive as well. Recommend!Edit: 10 min after posting this I decided I needed an Irish Coffee so I guess I didnt wait too long to take advantage

Pretty good little cafe. I’m happy they offered Lavender syrup. The breakfast was good but I wish they offered some sort of sauce with some of the dishes. Would have made the breakfast better than just the usual.

If youre in a hurry, youre probably in the wrong place -a sign in the restaurantTypically has good food, sometimes takes awhile, but always a nice ambience. Food is typically locally sourced from what I remember, and its a very environmentally conscious trendy place. Theyre very nice and hospitable, though it can get a little pricey. (2 entrees, 2 regular drinks, and an Irish beverage was $38)Should have checked the hours before visiting once, but when we walked by and tried to stop in, the sign said open, the door was locked, and the street-access kitchen door was wide open with the stove on. Called in to see if anyone was there, and there was not. Who leaves a stove on and unattended?

Great combination of a café with good brunch dining, this place has a personality of its own. Very authentic, glad I found it.

As the sign on the door says, if you are in a hurry you are probably in the wrong place. To me, that is a good thing. The coffee is good without being self reverential. Breakfast options from egg sandwich on housemade English muffins to vegan platters. Full disclosure, in season Sweet Ness 7 buys tomatoes and whatever I have available from my greenhouse right across Grant Street.

Great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Coffee choices were fantastic, atmosphere was cozy and a bit hipster. They had real dishes, silverware and mugs for a low waste meal! I dont think Ill ever be back to Buffalo, but if I do, Id go here again. During our stay we went twice.

This cafe has a comfortable, lounge feel to it. It is not a hurried environment like other coffee places where everyone is trying to rush you in and out of line. You can stay as long as you like and there is room for everyone. The coffee is amazing, and the food is stylish. Great portions and the prices are reasonable. This a great place to drink coffee and chat with friends or get work done solo.

Cute place to stop into. Prices were a little high, however they have healthy options and buy products locally. Fresh and great tasting baked goods!

Delicious coffee, spectacular food, authentic service, perfect atmosphere. I could move right in here and drink lattes 24/7. I love this place more than my own house.

Order the Mexican. Amazeballs.

We attended a jazz brunch in The Tabernacle at Sweetness 7 on Sunday afternoon. Ive read about the art covering the walls and ceiling, but it has to be seen first hand to be fully appreciated. Since this was our first visit, we had to learn the routine - order drinks at the bar in one room, then order pub- type food in the room next door. The food will be delivered to your table when its ready. We highly recommend the experience, but it should be noted that only on-street parking is available, and could be hard to find.

These are just the nicest people who run sweetness 7. They have interesting food in a nice Community atmosphere. The chef is really fun and he makes a beautiful thing out of an egg and a homemade English muffin (for example). I love to stop by that place whenever I can.

Best tasting espresso I have had in as long as I can remember. As it should be, never a bad cup of coffee here. Customer service I found wanting didnt try any of the food so I cant speak about that. The service will not deter me but its pedestrian at best.

Great food and drinks. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Dont be put off by the slightly run down area. Street parking outside.

Liked the funkiness of this cafe until some things became apparent. Cafe is dirty, can feel it on the tables, floors, the display cabinets. Out table had leg issues, it wobbled around if we put any weight on it. Music isnt needed in this cafe, its already loud. Had to ask staff to turn down music so I could hear what others were sharing at our table. Cashier seemed disinterested in her job,it was a chore for her to take my order. She was energy poor! I ordered the Farmers breakfast. Sunny side up eggs werent cooked quite enough, hash browns were oily. They give a tiny bowl of beans. This for $11, yikes! My wife remarked thatwe could get similar food at a diner for less money and a cleaner environment. We wont go back. Its a dining experience that makes me think about the organic pasture raised eggs and organic potatoes that are in my kitchen at home. I will say the cook had the most energy in the place! Youll know him because of his loud voice as he calls out to notify you that your food is ready!

Great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Coffee choices were fantastic, atmosphere was cozy and a bit hipster. They had real dishes, silverware and mugs for a low waste meal! I dont think Ill ever be back to Buffalo, but if I do, Id go here again. During our stay we went twice.

The only joint other than Lukes to host no cellphone signs in 2019, Sweet_ness 7 is a treasure! With board games & decks of cards out on the tables, its clear that the atmosphere of wholesome fun is carefully curated by the owners. Minors are not allowed in unaccompanied, despite the happy ambience, likely due to the fact that alcoholic drinks are served on the premises.

My first visit. Food was great, staff very friendly. Very reasonably priced. The one negative I would say was seating. Not a lot of room, had to wait for a little bit for a table.Would definitely go again!

Met a friend for lunch and I had the Farmers Breakfast with a fruit smoothie and she had the Love and Butter French toast. Absolutely amazing food and service! The decor and overall vibe are very artsy and I love the whole concept of the place! Looking for awesome local breakfast at any time? These guys are definitely worth a try!

Very popular local cafe. Excellent food and many daily specials. Many professionals come here. Informal place where you can bring your laptop.

You know when you stumble upon a place completely by accident and then it turns out to be one of the best meals youve had in a long while? Thats this place. So you could do the right thing and stumble upon this place on purpose! Awesome staff, delicious food, massive portion, totally fair price, great coffee. What more?

Cozy, hipster atmosphere with great food and drinks. I work in home health, and sweetness 7 is one of my favorite places to get paperwork done in between clients.

Ok spot for coffee, if you’re in a rush not the ideal place. Takes a while to get a latte. Food is good and the staff is friendly.

Only been here twice, both times had to get the Mary MacLeod. Spicy grits, fresh tomato, eggs comes the way you like em, and a meat or meatless option.Awesome atmosphere, tasty breakfast 🍳

Good food. Expensive for breakfast food. Small area to eat. Not very baby friendly.

One of the coolest spots in Buffalo. Everything from the coffee to the food is outstanding. This place is popular and often crowded, but I think it adds to the vibe. Definitely worth the trip! Highly recommend this place!

I am sure this place is normally awesome, but unfortunately my food was not cooked all the way and I felt very ill for quite a while afterward. I should have noticed sooner and sent it back... But yeah maybe be more careful, guys.

Ive been to Sweetness 7 multiple times and have always left satisfied. While it does not have much curb appeal, when you walk in the cafe definitely has its own unique personality. At any given point you will find a fair amount of people inside, either joying a meal or just coffee and a good read.

What an awesome place. It was plenty busy so I should give it a bad rating just so I can find a table when I go. Awesome food, coffee, and mimosas! Friendly and helpful staff too.

Really good food. Kids loved it and asked to come back for lunch! Staff is really a friendly bunch and the chef split the toppings out for the little one!

My Go To place for a morning latte. Jam makes it perfectly - hot, frothy, whipped with a cool design in the foam. the ambiance is warm, inviting. the food is so good. keep on keeping on, Sweetness7

Delicious food and great drinks. We stopped in for brunch, service was fast and food was fresh. Love the atmosphere of the cafe and the fact that they take sustainability and locally sourced food seriously.

It was good food. Hard to find a place to sit but thats to be expected. I love the sign that says if youre in a hurry youre in the wrong place. Overall good atmosphere. A little loud, but lulls at some points. They have little games and cards. Coffee was delicioius and food was fantastic! A little pricey, two people was 30 dollars for food and drinks. But when they are offering such fresh ingredients and items made in house items. You get what you pay for. 👍👍 I dont think I will find myself coming back here though.

I loved it. Haha they have a plethora of coffee and the food was great. Had quite a few laughs at the decor and posters. They try to everything as local as possible so i appreciate that a lot actually haha and now straws 🤗. I like that they give you information on the menu and little things across the cafe. Overall great experience

Lovely little cafe serving hearty food and drinks. Sit outside in the courtyard and watch the world go by...Internet for on the go business or just a catch up with friends, youll find this place full of people from all walks of life. Charming and charismatic.

The overal atmosphere is great for an urban cafe. The food is mediocre at best though. Not sure if because of the new location and lack of organization. We dont mind a long wait for good food but what we got were plates of grease, dry avocado toast on the wrong bread (we got wheat, asked for white). The hash browns were as if they were soaked in oil. The coffee wasnt as good as we had anticipated. When asking for a knife, the chef appeared overwhelmed and said that none were clean at the moment and that he couldnt help us. At least the girl at the register was pleasant. I wouldnt recommend this place.

Great farmers breakfast!

Wouldve given 5 stars but took off a star for the fact that they just add their own tip without permission! Noticed it on the receipt later at home. Who does that?! It wasnt even a whole meal it was just a coffee and a croissant! Are tips mandatory there?

One of my favorite places in buffalo for breakfast, they have a very homey ambiance and delicious pastries

As real hippie vibe. Good coffee, great breakfast. A must, it takes you back in Time. Spread the LOVE. Lets have a B-In.

The ONLY place in all of Rochester and Buffalo area that has CAFE DE LECHE a version of Cuban CAFE CON LECHE. They have a lot of different specialty coffe, very smooth and silky. Definitely worth coming back for. Highly recommend their version of Cafe Con Leche

Avocado toast was yummy!!

Very authentic ! Kindness, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Very great place. Good food choices. Just perfect...

The food is well done, tasty and high quality. Their coffee, McCullough and Plume, are delicious and local. Best of all the staff is attentive and friendly.

Great little coffee shop! Has a great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and yummy food!

We just move to Buffalo and I am difficult person to eat but guau this place is amazing. Great place and atmosphere. My kids and Wife love it. We be coming here more often.I love this part!If youre in a hurry, youre probably in the wrong place.

Always great service. Very friendly atmosphere. The food is fresh made when ordered, so yummy.

Nice cozy little space. Good coffee and muffin grrrrrrr8 looking menu cheesy grits Boston butt baked beans as well as other interesting entrees to explore.

Great food, coffee, friendly staff, and chill place. We love coming here with our daughter. Its great for brunch or an early red eye.

Very nice staff, a nice homey environment. The food is very good too. Had an avocado BLT and chai iced tea. Im happy 😁

Very fun place to have brunch. The decoration is cozy and perfect for a photograph.

Had the Farmers Breakfast. Couldnt have been happier with the selection. My food was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Will definitely come again!

The ambiance is nice and the coffee is great. They lost a star for forgetting my order and having me wait over 20 minutes

Been craving Turkish coffee, so me and bestie found this spot, since we were in the area. Really cute friendly place w/ self service. I ordered Turkish coffee & Turkey sandwich w/ greens which was yummy and bestie ordered mocha w/ eggs, toast, hash browns & bacon which she enjoyed. Definitely would come for some Turkish coffee & some desert next time!

Delicious food, super cool atmosphere and the staff were so friendly! Definitely a tucked away shop to check out when in Buffalo!

I recently purchased my first home on the West Side! My 5yr old son and I walked to Sweetness Cafe Sunday morning- I wish we hadnt. Milly at the register was flat, lacked flexibility and didnt smile once- portrayed a slightly pretentious energy. I have some recent dietary restrictions and she offered zero consideration. She was possibly having a poor day/was tired but she made our experience less than enjoyable. My little guy ordered the Avocado Toast & I ordered the Spanish Scrammble. I felt due to our initial experience the value for $23 was not there anymore. There are so many great local eats, the need for customer service should be an integral part of any brand. We were weekly regulars for many months while we lived in the Elmwood Village. We will definitely be back because of our positive history and hopefully!

So impressed. Love the atmosphere and details. Amazing breakfast burrito!

The best breakfast food! And love the atmosphere there.

The food was very good. The environment was very laid back. Only thing that freaked me out a little was the cleanliness wasnt too notch. My coffee cup was pretty nasty but all in all. I would reccomend especially because the chef knows what hes doing

Really cool, local coffee shop. Fun to drink coffee with friends and play some board games (P.S. stay until closing and they might give away baked goods for free)

Love the atmosphere. Friendly staff and great selections

We stopped at sweet ness 7 coffee for coffee. I am amazed with the quality of the coffee. I will definitely come back.

Hipster heaven. Great coffee and cool atmosphere. Good food but expect to wait for a while.

Great brunch spot.. Get here early to get the French toast, it sells out quickly!

The huevos breakfast sandwich desperately needed seasoning but was pretty good otherwise. This place has a really neat vibe to it. I typically dont like counter service but the line was short. The Bloody Mary isnt worth $9-10 despite being house made.

Hands down, the best coffee in Buffalo. Wonderful food. Wonderful environment. Wonderful people. Also admire their business connect and support of West Side Stories and Grant St businesses in general.

Awesome friendly staff. Awesome drinks

Food was delish! Coffee is beyond perfect, staff is nice. Just a cute cozy place to chill and even eat outside!

Cafe food, yeah, super yummy. Menu is like a place in San Francisco I loved.

Hands down my favorite coffee shop in Buffalo. Great atmosphere, great coffee, great food. They even serve beer now. This store helped revitalize the Grant & Lafayette area - it was the foothold that established all the new commerce on those blocks over the past 5-6 years. I recommend the Slams (Breakfast Sandwiches) - their buns are baked fresh at the shop, the one with pesto is a personal favorite. My one piece of advice is that if youre really hungry, get something out of the bakery case to munch on while you wait for your food if they look busy - good food takes time. They dont have the fastest kitchen, but the quality is almost always top notch.

Ive been here before and it was very good ... today I was very excited to bring my mother for the first time and I was so so dissapointed. Counter Staff was incredibly rude and short, the cook was polite though. The food was absolutely disgusting and overpriced... the place was filthy and the dishes were dirty I will never go again .

Absolutely wonderful at both locations. The owner and employees are very sweet and the atmosphere is perfect. A family member had a pre-wedding get together at the grant street location and it was so lovely. The food was outstanding and nothing short of gourmet.

Good food, friendly employees. I had oatmeal..came with plenty of sliced banana,strawberries, blueberries and walnuts. Delicious!

Good place to hang, good coffee and decent food. It has the atmosphere that Spot used to have. Consistent wifi and a few plugs if you need them.

Tokyo Fog = amazing. Best place to have a meeting on Grant street for coffee. If you are vegan or vegetarian they have wonderful food options.

Friendly staff, great coffee, delicious baked goods.. make sure you try the grand slam and read the funny staff facts on the chalk boards. Dont come here to eat in a rush.

Had a London Fog hot tea. Its a small place on the westside of Buffalo. It was something different while in the neighborhood.

One of the best places to sit for hours and eat and drink and write or read- this is a gem that has been here for years in a neighborhood that is coming back in a big way. The quality of the food is top notch, and the coffee selections are as well. Its the only place to get a Turkish coffee (dirt cowboy) in the city, and that is my go-to when I am there. They serve breakfast ll day long, so you dont have to worry if you can get your favorite breakfast sandwich close to closing time. The ceilings are hight, making it airy and inviting- and the place is eclectic and energetic. The vibe inside is welcoming and relaxing- you dont feel rushed to get out of your seat, and there is no one trying to bus your able to get you to go. When you do show up for breakfast or brunch, dont be surprised if you end up staying so long you order another meal- its that kind of place. Oh, and the large work table and accessible outlets to charge our devices is a major bonus as well.
