The Lunch Box Buffalo
465 Main St, Buffalo, NY
Crema's Take
“This Buffalo mainstay has earned genuine loyalty with thoughtfully made lattes, standout pastries like their acclaimed focaccia, and a comfort-food menu that keeps regulars coming back for favorites like Buffalo chicken wraps and breakfast burritos. The space strikes that sweet spot between a quick coffee grab and a place worth lingering, with friendly staff who make you feel genuinely welcomed whether you're working solo or meeting friends. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that feels like a natural extension of home, recently refreshed but still rooted in the genuine care that's kept customers coming back for years.”

This is on my regular DoorDash rotation. I get the Buffalo chicken wrap and the peanut butter cookie. I highly recommend.
Ordered online and walked a couple of streets over to pick up. Got the bag with my receipt stapled shut to it only to get back to my building to notice that there was a different receipt stapled to the inside of the bag and it was not my order. Walked back again in cold weather just to get my correct order. Not impressed. $16 for a grilled cheese and soup and that’s with a coupon. $1 ordering fee for ordering online pickup. Was going to get a cookie but the ones sitting out on the counter had small flies around them. Can’t say anyone there was very personable either. Just overall a bad experience and won’t be returning.
Friendly staff and good quality food. The focaccia is some of the best I've had. Really wish they'd bring back the veggie sandwich.
The latte was delicious. The staff provide great service. And the breakfast burrito was yummy. Also, the place was clean and comfortable.
Truly one of the best places to eat, meet, hang out, have a coffee, or any other type of beverage. Have been an avid customer of TLB for many years now and REALLY loving the new updates to their brand, their new location, new offerings and more. The owners are incredible people - a husband / wife duo - they’re building The Lunch Box properly by giving back to the community, offering clean eats, with the additions of the classic delicious comfort foods. Can’t say enough about the Team at The Lunch Box! Congrats on everything - here’s to many more years of success!
