Café On The Avenue

"Went for breakfast on 1/10/23 for the first time and everything was absolutely delicious. Jennifer was great & made sure we had everything we needed. This place is a little hidden gem & I can't wait to come back again."

"This is such an adorable spot with delicious food! I had the breakfast sandwich and a peanut doughnut - both so good! The staff was friendly and the food was fresh. Definitely recommend!"

"Great breakfast, sausage peppers onions scrabbled eggs! Loved the indoor outdoor seating. Had a great waitress and my wife was happy too!"

"I think this may be my favorite diner I've ever visited in Buffalo. We arrived around 2:15 pm, and they close at 3 pm, so clearly they aim more for the breakfast to lunch crowd, because the place was empty except us. They offer little donut bits as appetizers, which was a new one on me. Good stuff, too. Apparently all their food is made on premises, including the donuts. The staff (owners I think?) were super friendly & accommodating. The space is comfortable without being run-down, nice without being stuffy. There's also a covered outdoor area, but it was too muggy out today so we stayed inside where it was cooler. The music was just classic rock, and was very background, to the extent that it doesn't impede a conversation, so basically perfect. Mum got the tuna melt, was very satisfied, and I had the veggie skillet with pepper jack, which was tremendous. When asked what kind of cheese, there were 6 options (cheddar, provolone, and so on), so I said "surprise me" because they all sounded good. She narrowed it down: "white, orange, or weird," so I said, naturally, "weird." Which is how I got the excellent pepper jack (which she picked instead of feta, the other weird option). It was also noted that they're very open to mixing up menu items, and that they try to make the specials relevant to area events, like the Italian sausage being available during the recent Italian festival. Also great, the prices were *so* reasonable: the bill only came to $25 & some change, which means $30 for the two of us, which is a really good price for how good everything was, & the charming atmosphere. The location is a little out of my usual range, but I'll definitely have to make special effort to hit them up again in the future. Love it!"

"Hot food. Cold drinks. Warm staff. Cool atmosphere. Eat indoors with a fireplace. Eat outdoors with a breeze. These pics were taken outdoors under the red awning - thus the reddish tint. Will definitely be back."
