Great spot

Great vibe overall—loved the Praxis art. Got the breakfast sandwich with a side of chipotle potato salad and would highly recommend. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Buffalo.

Thankful

Great wheat gluten wings. And the pecan bar was delicious. Was just trying to visit Watkins Glenn’s and stumbled upon this place and was so happy I did. Great prices. Great flavors. Hidden gem for sure

Pros: Delicious , Exactly what I wanted , Great price

Cons: Not near where I live

Great food!

We stopped here after reading all the rave reviews and were not disappointed. We tried the Mushroom Melt Burger, the Bleu Chicken Sandwich & the Buffalo Mac&Cheese. All great and very filling. Prices were not too bad (~$16 for a sandwich). The staff was super friendly, and the restaurant vibe was nice.

Pros: Great options & great food, Great staff , Nice vibes!

Cons: Parking can be hit & miss.

Great food and beautiful restaurant

Had the garlic and sweet wings. Also orangecicle cupcake, chai, coffee, potato salad, and pasta salad. All amazing. Wish they had a place in LA. Think I learned about them from the Vegan Zombie on YouTube.

Fab neighborhood joint

Big portions, good seasoning and a friendly staff keep this place hopping. The one drawback is a lot of fried and oil used, but we came here in vacation so it was a special treat. I rarely eat anything fried or sautéed in oil. Just clueing you in on my palate. I could only eat 1/2 my cheesesteak and filled potato salad. Go for the “Buffalo” option. We both thought the dill potato salad was spiced right. The hot sauce was not burning hot and had a sweet overtone. Bummer that I couldn’t try a milkshake!
Next time a salad - they sound yummy- and have a bite or 2 of my husband’s order. Hopefully, I’ll have room for a shake. Desserts include milkshakes, cakes, cookies and cupcakes. Perfect for lunch or casual dinner. Street parking was available on a Saturday. There is seating for a large group. Don’t know about local public transportation.
No alcohol, does takeout.

Pros: Friendly staff, Portions , Price

Cons: Lots of fried options

Tasty

Everything we ate was amazing! The staff was so helpful and friendly. Nachos, Wings, Volcano Burger, cupcakes, and cheesecake were all awesome! Edit: We have now visited multiple times when we pass through and it is equally delicious every time!

Lovely little gem

I was so happy to find this place on a recent work trip to Buffalo. The Mac and cheese was delicious (would have loved even more Buffalo and Blue Cheese!) and the salad to-go was perfect for my lunch the next day. The sweets were super tempting - so many cupcakes and classic little Debbie treats vegan twist like oatmeal cream pies - but I didn’t try. I highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area!

Strong hearts!

I loved the Syracuse location for many years- the Buffalo spot seems like a little extension of that. My absolute favorite item was the house brewed jasmine green tea!!

My Heart.

The original Syracuse location played a huge part in my vegan journey, so I was thrilled for this second store opening.. in a neighborhood I used to live in 20 years ago! I still go to Buffalo quite often to visit my dad in West Seneca.. and for the amount of times I’ve stopped by here to eat, I’m shocked I don’t have more pics! I often order wings, the Egg trick muffin and the Rueben. Recently got the Thai tofu salad and it was amazing, and I always love the cupcakes! A true staple for this vegan.

New FAVE spot!!

My group had the nachos, chicken parm sandwich, Philly cheesesteak, buffalo mac & cheese and the breakfast burrito! Everything was delicious and honestly could barely tell the difference from the “real” thing!

The vibe was amazing, very family friendly and had a lot of options on the menu. The only downside is that the wait can be a little bit long!

Good diner food fix

It’s nice to have a whole menu to choose from but it is just diner food. It’s greasy which is to be expected but it has so much mayo I didn’t finish my burger. Somehow they were out of wings 10 minutes after opening. Service is pretty slow but at least you get your pastry and coffee while you wait.

Hidden Gem

I had been to the one in Syracuse so I wanted to try the one here in Buffalo. Almost passed it up. Looks like it’s almost hidden. Once you walk in though it’s nice and clean and open and bright and inviting. The dessert case is absolutely wonderful. Menu has a lot of great options.I had already eaten my dinner so I was just here strictly for dessert. Specifically the peanut butter cookie dough milkshake. Worth the extra calories. Looking forward to coming back and trying out other dishes.

Came back the next day and had their hot hunny fried chick’n. It was sweet and crispy … not hot (a little disappointing) but I really enjoyed it. Looking for are to coming back.

Life saver!

Strong Hearts was an absolute lifesaver for me in Buffalo! Was in town for a week, and literally went there every day… (even got a T-shirt! 😁) Sweet Sassy Molassy and iced mocha latte with oat milk was a fav, with their mac and cheese a close second. Sure wish they had one in NC… 🥰

Best vegan in Buffalo

My go to spot! They have everything from shakes, baked goods, coffee, macaroni salads to go, sandwiches, to full thanksgiving meals. Everything is perfectly prepared and expertly crafted. This is where you take your non-vegan friends.

Pros: Sweet Sassy Molassy , Shakes , Options

Yum

One of our favorite places to go in our hometown. There is not an item on the menu we have not tried. If you live locally and haven’t tried I’m not sure what you’re waiting for. If you’re visiting buffalo be sure to take the time to stop, you will not be disappointed!

Good but pricey

Food was good. I had the Philly cheesesteak and wife had some sweet chicken sandwich. Both were good. Only complaint is it is very expensive for what you get. $3 extra to get fries instead of potato chips so it was almost $20 for a sandwich and fries.

Great selection of food and sweets. Especially the traditional Buffalo dishes like beef on weck and wings, and the creative sandwiches like pierogie grilled cheese.

Good food

This was my first time visiting Buffalo, NY and wanted to find a great place that served only vegan options. This place is all over tiktok so I decided to give it a try. I had the NYC chopped cheese and loaded fries. My friend had the mushroom patty melt. Everything was good and filling.

Best sandwich I’ve ever had

The Buffalo and Bleu Cheese Chick’n sandwich was the best sandwich I’ve had in my life. Hands down the thickest shakes as well (I had PB and Chocolate).

Definitely worth a visit, cute place.

Pros: Fantastic food, Nice atmosphere

Cons: A bit expensive
