Caffe at Amy's
3234 Main St, Buffalo, NY
Crema's Take
“Caffe at Amy's is a beloved neighborhood institution on Buffalo's Main Street that's evolved while keeping its welcoming soul intact, complete with thoughtful vegetarian options and lentil dishes that are perfectly seasoned. Beyond the reliable espresso and pastries, this spot pulses with creative energy—it hosts live music, showcases local art, and radiates genuine acceptance that customers immediately feel, making it the kind of place where you'll linger over coffee and conversation whether you're catching a show or just soaking in the vibe. The counter staff here are genuinely kind and engaged, and while it's cash-only and can get pleasantly loud with activity, that's all part of what makes it feel like a real third space rather than a sterile café.”

Came to see some awesome bands play and had a wonderful time! I love the place and the women who work the counter are absolutely killing it! Bravo!
Grew up in the neighborhood with the “old” Amy’s and this iteration has retained its essence, even with updates to the menu. All of the lentil dishes are perfectly cooked and seasoned - the wet shoes and the lentil berry sandwich are still my go tos. The music events and espresso bar additions have been positive updates to the establishment that make the neighborhood feel more vibrant. I will always miss some of the old menu items, but I love it here!
Amy's was so cool! I loved the vibe of the caffe. I love how they very clearly displayed they are loving and accepting of all people. As a vegetarian, I am not used to having this many options when ordering at a restaurant. There were so many menu items I want to try! I ordered a tempeh sandwich per the recommendation of the cashier, and I regret doing so. I think we just have different preferences. I am a firm believer that lettuce or spring mix should not be cooked. Maybe that's just me? And if it is cooked, the menu should state as such. I loved everything else about the place. I grabbed a chocolate chip muffin, which was amazing. The cinnamon crunch latte was excellent as well. I will definitely be back. I can't wait to try one of their lentil dishes!
This place has a great vibe, came for the art and adored it. They have great food and good energy. It is slightly loud, so if you are sensitive to noise be careful. But if you aren't it's perfect. It is a cute spot, ans im happy I found it. Will come back.
Little eclectic cafe on Main Street close to UB South. Inside was much cuter and cleaner than it appeared on the outside. Food was reasonably priced. Limited menu, coffee/espresso was good. Staff was friendly.
