Apparently one of the most popular local coffee chains of Buffalo, they have branches across different parts of Buffalo aside from Tim Hortons. The ambiance was below average in my opinion. The sofas were kinda dirty though it had covers.
Still there were plenty of people. But we didn’t like it as much hence we went to Haraz (Yemeni Coffee Shop) from there.

Total disappointment…my second time ordering from this place via DoorDash and the second time they get my order wrong and do not read any of the selections I paid extra for such as “substitute salad for hash” or scrambled eggs…they need new staff that knows how to read instructions and offers better food presentation…this looks horrible and taste bland. For the price you pay, you can get way better options elsewhere. I don’t care so much about paying a little extra, but if I’m paying more then I expect overall better service and care in my order.

The Public Espresso on Seneca served me one of the best avocado toasts I’ve ever had. This location, at hotel Lafayette, was incredibly disappointing. Their paper menu (which is included in this post) did not match the system that is used to ring you up. The cashier told me that the “build your own” options are 50cents an item, while the paper menu said everything is included, and you can add extras for a listed price. The cashier was super dismissive when this discrepancy was mentioned to her. I ended up getting the avocado toast, and it was pathetic. Not worth spending the money and not worth waiting. This place was, unfortunately, one of the only breakfast spots open on a Sunday in the area. Would not recommend.

Public Espresso has been my go to place since I was a freshman in college. The vibes are comfy and the employees are always so nice and warm. The food and coffee is great, but I have to say the bagels have been slacking lately. Still one of my fav places ever! I’ve dined in, taken out, and ordered delivery probably fifty times.

The atmosphere here seems so cold and sterile. Not very welcoming or comfy/cozy. Not a place that I would feel comfortable spending time in. Its also a shame that the decor/style does not fit to the building it is located in.
There were no sleeves for the hot coffee to go cups. I had to use a napkin.
The one worker was eating behind the counter which didn’t really seem too professional in my opinion.
They do have lots of vegan/vegetarian options.

Waited 15 minutes for my latte and 40 minutes for bagel and Caesar salad. When food came out I wasn’t given any utensils nor napkins. Guys behind counter seemed not to care and I noticed that people who ordered after me got their food before me. This was my first and will be my last experience! It was bad enough I needed to ride around for 15 minutes to find parking. $42 for 2 lattes a chicken Caesar salad and lox on bagel was not worth the money. It’s a predominantly white clientele. So all the five stars may very well not be from people of color like myself. Customer service refresher classes for staff is a must here.

I’ve only been to this location to visit for my graduate program, but I loved the atmosphere there, especially for a weekday brunch. I enjoyed the razzle dazzle of the bagel with lox and their iced mocha was pretty great. Will have to try one of their donuts some time!

(March 2024) enjoyed a strawberry crueller and loved the red eye gravy breakfast sandwich on the English muffin. Ham was a little thick… good but would’ve preferred a better ratio of egg to ham etc but great flavor. Great coffee as always.
(2023) Always great coffee. a nice, spacious, fun spot to sit and enjoy! The cruellers are insanely good. Probably my favorite thing here. The bagel sandwiches are also awesome-bagel jar bagels are on point!

Cute location inside Hotel Lafayette. Pastries are delicious and the breakfasts are fantastic. Good service. The decor is unique and has an eclectic vibe. The coffee was great, and exactly what was needed after a wedding or other event in Buffalo.

Although the staff is friendly, this is the second time I’ve received an incorrect order from this restaurant. I placed my order online after 1:00 PM today, and it felt like my food was rushed. My bacon was undercooked, and my online order clearly stated “no tomatoes.” When I picked up my order, I asked the gentleman if there were any tomatoes on my sandwich, and he assured me there were none. I left the restaurant just before closing, and it was too late to contact them about the error.
I want to request a refund. Thank you.
