👍👍 I love this restaurant because of Angelo & Sarah! Community minded, hearted, and oriented, our city is blessed/lucky to have them. Plus to make it even better their food, smoothies, juices are SUPERB. Accompanied with great customer service. We miss them terribly in Elmwood Village. People often mention location, open,

    This is a beautiful space and food and juices are outstanding. It is definitely worth the trip to pick up these awesome homemade healthy drinks and food. Askers recently catered a big event we had in the reviews and comments were outstanding.

    Google photos are very misleading. We went on a snowy day around 10am on a Wednesday and there was no hot food available. The review photos show vegan breakfast wraps, sandwiches, etc. and this place did not have a kitchen and only offered smoothies. The cashier was nice and suggested another place to get a hot breakfast. But that place was closed. Apparently their Niagara location has hot foods available, but not the one on Amherst so I just think maybe separating the location listings would be more helpful for customers.

    This place is spectacular! The staff is so courteous & welcoming. Their food is outstanding. The breakfast burrito is a top 3 best I ever had. The coffee is strong & smooth. The big windows give you a nice view of Downtown Blackrock & Amherst St. Their menu prices are unbeatable. Not one thing on the menu over $7! A lot of space to sit & relax & the hardwood floors make you feel right at home.

    Nice ambiance! Super nice guys working there! Really great prices. A variety of items including vegan options. I enjoyed the Avocado Toast, only $6, though I prefer a little more zip so I sprinkled the Frank's sauce on it and it was great. I overheard another party loved it too. Plenty of tables and some couches and soft chairs. Free wifi too. I'll be back! Btw, not a 5 because the baked goods display was nearly empty, and the chocolate chip scone was super weird, like it was loaded with bran or vegan or gluten free or something. If it was for a special diet, it should have been labeled as such. I'll raise my stars next time after I talk to the guy.

    Was really looking forward to going here this morning, Google maps said they were open but they were closed. Seems like it's a common complaint recently. Please update the hours so people don't drive out of their way. Will definitely try again when I can.

    Why do you have hours posted as being open, an open sign, and yet no one is there?!?!

    Friendly attentive staff, comfortable seating, spacious and relaxed. I live the big windows and the choices for seating. Bright and airy, I love the atmosphere. The breakfast sandwich was so good! Hot and fresh. Soup looked delicious. Cookies were perfect as well. I looked forward to returning.

    Fair prices, Great atmosphere, Friendly staff! I will definitely be back. I’d recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for something healthy.

    Vegan/ Vegetarian friendly, Tasty meals and delicious smoothies. It is very relaxing inside. There is a fire place and couches if you wanted to get cozy while sipping a smoothie. Happy to have a healthy place to eat breakfast early in the am.

    Went when Google said hey we're open. But they were not. No posted business hours and when I called the number listed it did not work... Not sure if this place is even open for business

    Don’t make the drive to their black rock location if you want any sort of options. I’m actually not really sure what they do serve at this location. I work nearby, so I want to stop in more and order some juices and snacks, but it’s very rare when there’s anything at all available for grab and go. I’m not sure what they offer made to order. Every time I go in I almost feel unwelcome and like I shouldn’t be there. Lol I totally get that times are tough and it’s hard to make such fresh items available due to waste and cost, but I wish the black rock location could function like the elmwood location once did, because I think it would bring in great business and community! Buffalo needs a juice place to compete with squeeze, as I much prefer the vibe here! I’m rooting for this place.

    I used to frequent Ashkers on Elmwood because they had the best smoothies and food on Elmwood! When they closed that location and moved to black rock however, they completely changed their menu to basically only serve vegan people. They took off every tasty smoothie and food item that was popular. I don’t understand why they decided to make this change, especially seeing the business they had on Elmwood, but I can definitely see now why they lost so much of their customer base.
