Best vegan spot! Need more plant-based food places like this, tasty/creative! - Edit
First time at the Buffalo location, love Strong Hearts and the menu never disappoints. Don’t have to think about what I can and can’t eat, everything is Vegan and food is delicious and affordable. This one is just as cozy as the one in Syracuse, and I’m just happy there’s a Buffalo location. Hoping more start to pop up in different cities/states, we need more of this!

Traveling Vegan - Edit
I eat whole food- plant based as best I can while traveling, but this place was a nice treat! I chose the TLT and it was delicious! I have plenty of salad with me, so I chose the Thai noodles as my side. They are served cold but I warmed them up and they were delicious. I recommend this place for a vegan cheat night.

Not bad - Edit
I loved the vibe and ambiance. It was fun, clean, and welcoming. Great place but the parking situation was challenging, especially in the snow. We ordered the bacon burger with fries, small nachos, and the pumpkin cheesecake. The cheesecake came out first and it was phenomenal. If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t think it was vegan based on the taste. My husband’s burger was decent but he said it was a little mushy. He enjoyed the fries. The nachos had a good flavor and the chips were crispy. My only criticism was that the cheese sauce was super thick and kind of was like a big glob on top of the nachos. And there was A LOT of it. I think it could use some work on the consistency of the sauce or use a different cheese product altogether. Other than that, the staff was super nice and helpful. The baked goods were amazing. We got another slice of the cheesecake and a slice of the pumpkin pie to go. We will definitely come back and try some of the other items on the menu.

Very good meal - Edit
We (my non-vegan father and brother, and I) came for dinner & were not disappointed. The service was friendly & our food (Two salads, a smoothie & onion soup) very good. The portions were ample & the food was tasty. We give Strong Hearts extra points for offering made-in-Buffalo craft beers.

Wonderful food, amazing desserts - Edit
I came here with meat eating family, and they all loved the place. Everything on the menu looked amazing, as well as the desserts they had. My burger was the best version it could be. Combine it with friendly staff and affordable prices, and this is a must stop in Buffalo.

Great food, beautiful place - Edit
I may say it is the best food in Buffalo area. We really enjoyed so much Buffalo Bleu fried chicken. It was unbelievable. Also we had chicken parm which was great too. And salads were great too. I would definitely recommend this place. I loved it. They have milkshakes and smoothies, and many different hot drinks and cupcakes.

Best in Buffalo - Edit
Best vegan food in Buffalo. The fried chicken sandwich is out of this world. My partner and I also got the Mac and cheese and it was amazing. The milkshakes are the best I’ve had in a while especially the chai and the chocolate cherry.

Great sandwiches, baked goods and vegan milk shakes - Edit
Strong Hearts has really good vegan café food. Nice variety of sandwich, salad, and breakfast options. Portions are generous. Probably the best vegan baked goods in the local area. Huge variety of beautiful and delicious cup cakes and milk shakes. It is open every day and open late (until 9 p.m. yeah!). It's only been open a few months and we have been there 5 times already.
Read morePros: Great food, Great cupcakes and desserts, Nice variety of coffee and other drinks.
Cons: Street parking on a one-way street.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO BUFFALO! - Edit
Everything about Strong Hearts is great. I love their buffalo chicken sandwich, the sweet sassy molassy and wild west burger (with extra bbq) - try them!
Read moreThe smoothie, cheesecake and drink selections are all fantastic!!
Side note - I admire them for choosing an area that could use a pick me up but can you imagine this place on Hertel?!

Buffalo, you're hurtin' - Edit
Well, I would also grant 1 star to them for being vegan, but after going twice and it being terrible both times, I wish I could only give it 1 star. It's pure garbage (and I don't mean in the sense that it's junk food - I'm all for junky delicious treats!). Mushy and unimaginative, anything you'll get here could be better replicated at home.
Read moreBuffalo needs help, lol.
Pros: Vegan!
Cons: Food, both times

I'm shocked at this review personally, what have you consumed in your two times there? I've been there about 9 times and tell everyone I know to go eat there.
Read moreThe Wild West Burger (extra bbq),
Sweet Sassy Molassy & the
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich were all amazing imo

If I remember right, we tried both parm sandwich options, the breakfast sandwich, and the fried chicken sandwich (my forever favourite treat, done so poorly!). Oh, ick, and fries once - how do you do fries wrong! But man, I really hated their fried chicken - why was the inside mushy, for real? I've never experienced anything like it in 10 years vegan, plus. I'll admit I should have tried something lighter or a salad at one point, but they were ones I could make at home (spinach and strawberries and almonds, incredible!) - and I fucking love junk food, so why not?
Read moreI'm glad people are finding it enjoyable, even great, but also hate that some non-vegans will think that *this* is what vegan comfort food has to offer, in their singular experience. It also makes me upset that places that aren't remotely vegan offer vegan options with more quality and thought than a fully plant based establishment.
Sorry, too long of a rant for your single question!

TAKES FOREVER - Edit
We ordered to dine-in at 8pm. They close at 9. It was almost 9:30 until they brought our food out in to-go bags. The food is good but not the dining experience we were looking for. I would only go again if I was just getting dessert from the case to go.

They're still not at full staff so please give them a bit of leniency, I know it has been difficult to find workers lately for brick and motor businesses

Delicious Vegan Fare - Edit
I decided to order online and drive 30 minutes for take out. Well worth it! We shared the loaded fries. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and my partner had the eggplant Parmesan sandwich. We loved everything. They have a large case of tempting desserts such as cupcakes and cheesecake. I opted for the blueberry cheesecake, but we were too full to eat it. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Great chicken joint - Edit
The food was excellent, the buffalo chicken sandwich could use more buffalo sauce and blue cheese, everything else about it was perfect. The wings were good as well, I did feel like all the food was very rich so it was hard to finish and definitely no room for dessert.

Flavorful & comforting - Edit
This is such a nice spot, very bright and casual. Great menu with so many options, everything sounded so good! We had the rueben, Thai tofu salad, and vegan mac&cheese. There was only gluten free pasta left but it was a good quality kind so we wouldn’t have even known the difference. The bread for the rueben was delicious and toasty and whatever the meat sub was had a nice texture and flavor. The Thai salad was also super flavorful with a nice kick to the dressing. We didn’t experience the long wait time that others shared. They have about 40 different milkshake flavors so of course we had to try - the butterfinger one and chocolate oreo were delicious!
Read moreEdit: we went back the day before leaving buffalo to try the “sweet sassy molassy” which was sooo good, the sauce especially. Also got chipotle peanut noodles which were also really good.

Finally! Vegan diner food paradise in Buffalo! - Edit
After pleasuring vegans for years at their Syracuse location, Strong Hearts has opened in Buffalo, and the food is equally impressive. A 100% vegan menu that is consistently excellent. Besides burgers, sandwiches, and salads, they take it two steps further with killer baked goods and a wide selection of vegan shakes. If you’re vegan and in Buffalo, this place is a must-visit.
Read morePros: 100% vegan, A crazy-big selection of vegan shakes, The sweet sassy molassy sandwich!
