Tipico Coffee & Cafe
1084 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo, NY
Crema's Take
“This Buffalo gem nails the fundamentals with expertly pulled espresso and thoughtfully roasted beans that locals swear by, housed in a clean, modern space that feels intentional rather than trendy. Baristas here demonstrate real consistency—same honey bun latte twice, same quality—and they've earned a reputation as a destination for serious coffee drinkers who also appreciate solid pastries and breakfast sandwiches. It's the kind of place where your third-wave coffee obsession meets genuine neighborhood hospitality, though fair warning: seating is tight and the food is secondary to what's really stellar in the cup.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Parking available.

The two times I went, as it was right near out Airbnb were great, ordered the honey bun latte hot twice. Tasted the same each time. Thats a sign of good baristas as it was two different ones. The egg sandwich was good. Better then Tim Hortons. [Not hard to beat] the second time…
Got this recommendation from a local friend. Coffee is strong and has a great aroma and taste. Bagel sandwich was tasty and soft. Not much seating though. Pay parking on street.
Best coffee in Buffalo. They source good beans and roast them properly. (So good). Everything bagel is damn good as well. Friendly staff, (which is always appreciated). I find it inconvenient ,that weekend hours that they open at 8am , but maybe thats why the staff are so…
