The best coffee in the city with the best people you'd ever meet. I literally moved to a place within walking distance so I could go to my favorite Café (this Café).
My favorite cafe in WNY. Incredible service, amazing staff, comfortable vibes, amazing coffee. The taste/menu is unmatched. You will not find another spot so special ❤️ a true gem.

Not sure how the experiences described in the other reviews could apply to this spot. Maybe something major (and bad) has happened to Allentown? We had to step over needles on the sidewalk outside. Inside, it looked like a head shop. At the door, a man higher than a kite almost ran into us. He was so high I think he genuinely could not see. Walking away, we passed three individuals sprawled on the sidewalk, drinking out of brown paper bags and discussing their alcoholism. We were there mid-afternoon on a weekday. Nothing about this place was safe or clean.
