SPoT Coffee
765 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo, NY
Crema's Take
“This Buffalo cornerstone has earned its reputation as an espresso-focused destination where the coffee and pastries genuinely shine, though the experience feels inconsistent—some visitors rave about kind, engaging baristas who offer great recommendations, while others report cold service and disappointing food quality that doesn't match the premium pricing. If you catch the right shift, you'll find yourself in a welcoming spot perfect for lingering over a thoughtfully made drink and a red velvet muffin, but it seems the team's mood and attention to detail varies enough that it's worth approaching with tempered expectations.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Ordered breakfast sandwich, avocado toast and ice coffee. $30 later. Received an over seasoned avocado toast and a sandwich as pictured below with crumbs of bacon. Never again.
