OVERALL, 3.5: I enjoy coming here for a quick bite to eat or drink while getting some work done. Parking can be tricky and wifi can be spotty, but decent coffee and food with a lot of seating.
[FOOD - 3.5] I try not to read other reviews before I write one, but I happened to be scrolling through a few and saw a couple people mention they thought their food was over priced. I am quick to point out when I feel meals are over priced and I honestly do not feel like anything I've eaten here has been. Granted, I haven't had a lot as I mostly stop in for coffee, but from what I've experienced I thought the prices were fair for the amount of food and quality. I got a panini with a side of greens and it was right at $10. To me that seems about normal. Anyway, the food I've tried hasn't been anything special, but it's been pretty solid cafe fare, that I would definitely get again.
[DRINKS - 3.5] When I come to Spot, it's typically just for a drink. I will get a plain latte on occasion, but honestly I usually just stick with your basic iced or hot coffee. The coffee here is decent - nothing to rave about, but it does the job.
[ATMOSPHERE - 3] I think it depends what you're looking for. There's so many great local coffee shops in Buffalo, that I love, and they each have their own unique vibe. When I'm coming to Spot, it's because it's a larger space with ample seating, many outlets, semi decent parking options, and has decent food/drinks/atmosphere. The music can be a bit loud, but I don't find it TOO distracting, it just isn't ideal usually.
[SERVICE - 5] I've always experienced awesome service. The people behind the counter seem genuinely happy at work here. Everyone has always been very friendly and my food / drinks have always been prepared in a reasonable amount of time
NOTES
* Being directly on Elmwood, there is only on street parking. This is a fairly busy area and sometimes it's difficult to find parking. I find searching on the side streets helps a lot, but still, it can be tricky to find
*Wifi can be a bit spotty, but I haven't found that it prohibits getting work done too much. (The wifi may go out for a minute but then it automatically reconnects just fine, but it can happen more frequently at times)
