👍 I love a healthy option and Kornerstone was just that. I am not from the Buffalo area - in fact, I'm from the Midwest, so I found Kornerstone on a Google search for coffee near me.

    I love a healthy option and Kornerstone was just that. I am not from the Buffalo area - in fact, I'm from the Midwest, so I found Kornerstone on a Google search for coffee near me. We stopped in around 9:00am on a Friday, and it was not busy at all. My husband and I ordered our usual 1 iced and 1 hot vanilla latte. I added sugar free vanilla and almond milk to my iced latte. I can appreciate a cafe with sugar free options and milk alternatives. My iced latte tasted very good, however, for whatever reason, my husbands hot latte tasted watery. We literally ordered the same drink and his tasted terrible. And one other note on the iced latte - they gave me one of those paper straws, and it did not hild up well for very long. In addition to our coffee, we order the PB&J Acai Bowl to share. And it certainly is a sharable serving size. We did have to wait about 10 minutes for the preparation of the acai bowl which I can also appreciate. But if you are on a time crunch, I would encourage ordering something that's ready to go. I think most of their menu items are prepared fresh. Hot top: I found out that the offer online ordering too if you prefer to grab & go. The menu offers not only generically healthy options, but also options for vegetarians and vegans alike. Such a good thing in today's day and age. If I lived in the area, I would probably frequent Kornerstone. I would love to have been able to explore their other menu items: fresh pressed juices, smoothies, salads, sandwiches, other breakfast items. The dine in option is open, the dining area is clean and well-kept. The cafe is decorated with some vintage, old brick masonry vibe. In reading other reviews, I can deduce that this cafe is local, and I always like to support local when traveling!

    Kornerstone is a local Buffalo business that started started roasting their own beans nearly twenty years ago. The roaster located in Kenmore provides for the coffee needs of the local offices and business nearby. They also sell beans by the pound with the option to select single origin or flavored roasts that are then made fresh and delivered to the cafe for you to pick up. The smoothie and juice menu is arranged in descending order from less sweet to sweetest, with each option being very well balanced. Having had almost everything on the menu, my recommendation is the Crusher smoothie. It’s a nice balance of coffee and peanut butter that gives a solid boost to your day.

    Glad that Kornerstone Coffee ( ground and whole bean ) is available there, but don't go anytime after 10 AM. I have a feeling the morning rush from the offices in the building leaves the staff completely burned out. Literally out, completely, of both dark and medium roast at 10 AM and told by the person at the counter "I have to make some more, you'd have to wait 15-20 minutes" and then without my asking for it, poured me a cup of the flavored, which I didn't want. But, seriously, out of coffee in a coffee shop? At 10 AM?

    Chicken was a big NO. cream of mushroom was extremely oily. Lettuce wraps are amazing! Strawberry green tea was awesome. Ive had their smoothies... Some good some bad. Basil hummus is awesome. Photo attached is the soup.

    This is place is absolutely fabulous!! Everything is so fresh and tasty and nourishing, and the prices are extremely fair. I’ve only ordered takeout, but I’ll definitely check it out in person soon. The little smiley faces they draw on all my takeout containers next to my name are so sweet and always make my day too!

    Great atmosphere and bright and airy. Fabulously smooth coffee drinks. The Vegan "Chicken" Salad is fresh and filled with apple pieces, walnuts, and grapes. Refreshing! Was pleasantly surprised with the variety of gluten free bread options! The gluten free everything bagel was delicious... light, fluffy, and amazing toasted with cream cheese. It's so hard to find gluten free bread options but I'm happy to report that this is a spot that has a good selection! Highly recommend if you like smoothies, juices, and overall simply fresh and clean food items that you'll enjoy eating. Although it may seem a touch pricey, believe me, the quality is well worth it!

    I love the parfaits. The menu items are a bit pricey; 2.99 for a toasted bagel add my iced chai latte $8.00. Its convenient when im rushing as to i can order online although most times my items are never ready for pickup. I give 3 stars for the cleanliness and great customer service.

    The manager is so sweet and wonderful. I work down the road and it is a favorite place of ours for smoothies, salads, breakfast sandwiches and more. Food is great and the service is even better!

  • 5/5 Katherine 1 year ago on Google
    I got the vegan wrap on bread versus lettuce, it was delicious. It contains avocado, sun dried tomatoes, onions, sprouts, and basil hummus. It was quick, and on time when I ordered it.

  • 4/5 Dwip C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a food place to try for breakfast. They have some good options to eat besides fruits and juices. Place interior is also very upscale feel. Servers were very nice and helpful. Had Bagel, Avocado toasts which were fine tasting too. Overall 4/5 ⭐️

    Food is alright but it takes forever to get a salad and the place is dead. Not sure what takes so long when other establishments of the same concept manage to serve their customers in a much more timely manner.

  • 5/5 Sheila R. 9 months ago on Google
    Loved our sandwiches and juices. Everything was fresh and well put together. We will return♡

  • 3/5 Kyle W. 9 months ago on Google
    The food is good, but the prices are absurd. There are locations around the neighborhood who sell the same quality products for a fraction of the cost.
