Great selection of new and used books, magazines, and vinyl. The owner was lovely and shared info about the shop’s book club and events. A truly community-minded space. Looking forward to spending more time there this winter.
Great selection and prices on new and used books. Staff is super friendly and helpful and I love how they support local artists. New favorite bookstore! 💯
Went for a book event, was in a tiny alley in the cold. Not a lot of selections like I thought, still grabbed some books. Looks really organized inside. Was very pretty. Got two coupons for the inside. Not to bad of a place. Also lovely workers.
I went there just to check out the store and ended up leaving with a box of books and records, and two plates of waffles (did not want to share). The owner is great and community focused. While there, he introduced us to a local artist and got us connected with other local bookstores. The owner is a true lover of books and arts, but also a big supporter of local businesses and artists. Also, if you are a collector of books, ask to see his vault of vintage, hard to find hardcopies, and autograph collection. You will not be disappointed. We will be back.
My family and I *love* Fitz Waffles. The owner is such a great guy, and it is so nice to have a local, brick-and-mortar old school book store in downtown Buffalo. The Leige Waffles are amazing! I love both the original and the chocolate variety. I love the layout with the main bookstore as you walk in; some rare collections and an art gallery on the right wing, and an absolutely beautiful fenced-in patio out back. Such a nice location to read a book, have a coffee and a waffle, and pass some time when the weather is nice. We are regular patrons and will definitely be back.

Where literary adventures meet delicious Belgian waffles in Buffalo's cozy community hub.
