Kornerstone Cafe Larkin
701 Seneca St, Buffalo, NY
Crema's Take
“Kornerstone Cafe Larkin is a genuine neighborhood gathering spot where the staff remembers your name and order, creating the kind of warmth that keeps locals coming back for breakfast, lunch, and their rotating seasonal coffee selections. Beyond solid coffee, they're known for creative wellness drinks like their "Flu Away" juice blend and a full breakfast menu that pairs well with their leisurely, welcoming atmosphere—making it equally suited for a quick caffeine fix or a longer sit with friends and family.”

Kornerstone juices are the best. I have a 5 year old kiddo that comes home with all sorts of plagues. For the past two years I have been drinking their Flu Away magic drink, and knock on wood, I have not been sick. ( Most years I would get sick twice a year). They even deliver juices to our house every Wednesday! Also, Jamie (owner?) has been great to work with for deliveries!
Very much enjoy the food, coffee, and atmosphere. The staff and management are pleasant, helpful, and help make the experience good. Go here all the time.
I come in often for breakfast, lunch, and coffee depending on the day. They remember my name and how I like my orders which makes me want to come back. It's a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The food is also very good - the soups and smoothie bowls are my usual orders.
I love Kornerstone! That’s my go to place for coffee before work. They have a great seasonal menu for different coffees. It does get a little busy in there for breakfast and lunch but my favorite is the conversations I have with both ladies that work there. They are both friendly hard working ladies and make my day!!
The food is ok but there are two people there one is pleasant the other person isn't, the atmosphere is dead aside from that, the store manager at Larkin is rude, and unpleasant, I felt that I was being judged an discriminated against in that place. Particularly in Larkin-Ville which is unfortunate because so many people have taken the time out to be inclusive towards everyone in Larkin. Its a downer/ I will not be giving them my service anymore. To be perfectly honest the food is not bad but they are understaffed and not approachable at all. In addition the manager got my order wrong than took the liberty of yelling at me about how I needed to get the sandwich she made that I did not order. I decided I wouldn't ask for my money back nor would I leave the food but I will just let her know that she was very unpleasant unkind and mean. Had she just told me she thought I place a order for a "turkey sandwich an it was a mistake an asked if I could wait while she remade it I would of told her sure no problem do not worry about it. However; she was just rude. Everyone is human but that wasn't my first unpleasant experience there that was my very last. She apologized and I left but I won't be back, there are so many other places that have been kind. I refuse to go where I am not welcomed.
