when coffee is just as important as your passport

There are few things in life as magical as stumbling upon a cute little coffee shop juuuust when you need it the most. Whether you’re a total coffee snob (hi, it's me), just looking for a fun place to get some work done, or in desperate need of a pick-me-up, I’ve got you covered! 

Here are 5 of WNY’s must-visit local coffee sh
ops!

5.   Coffee & Stone Cafe

Coffee & Stone opened just a few months ago, and the world is better because of it. From coffee to blended drinks, salads, pizzas (even cauliflower crust!), breakfast foods and more. Everything you could ever want, under one roof. Make sure to stop in and try Coffee & Stone out while you're visiting the Buffalo area!

4.   Wilson Brew Co

This one is for our Sunflower Home guests! The only thing separating you from your caffeine fix and a homemade bagel, is a ten minute lake view drive... can't get much better than that. Wilson Brew Co has everything you could want, even for our crazy non-coffee-drinker friends!

3.   Steamworks Coffee

Located in the historic city of Lockport, right on the Erie Canal, this charming coffee shop is full of character and caffeine- just the way we like it! Enjoy a delicious pour over, french press, or a seasonal beverage. Plan a walk down Heritage Trail, and experience the first navigable waterway connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes.


2.   Overwinter Coffee

Overwinter has a few different locations, their newest (and my personal favorite) being 5548 Main St Williamsville NY 14221. Just a few minutes from the beautiful waterfall at Glen Falls Park. Order your coffee, snag a locally baked muffin, and soak up everything the quaint town of Williamsville has to offer!



 1.  Goodrich Coffee & Tea

While these weren't listed in any particular order, Goodrich is my forever fav! This shop is run by a sweet local family, and they roast all of their own beans. Not only do the baristas perfect every drink, but they are the absolute sweetest! The shop itself is so vibey and the food is *chefs kiss*. This spot is perfection if you’re looking for a fun drink, a killer breakfast sandwich/wrap, or a fresh salad. Oh, and they have a drive-thru if you’re just passing by!


Caffeine courses through our veins, and while big chains are an easy option, I say skip the drive-thru and check out some of these must-visit local coffee shops while you’re in the Western NY area!
