Love It! - Edit
Beautiful space and amazing food! I got the cheesesteak and it was incredible. Took a few bites of my husband’s sassy burger and it was just as good.

Lovely little gem - Edit
I was so happy to find this place on a recent work trip to Buffalo. The Mac and cheese was delicious (would have loved even more Buffalo and Blue Cheese!) and the salad to-go was perfect for my lunch the next day. The sweets were super tempting - so many cupcakes and classic little Debbie treats vegan twist like oatmeal cream pies - but I didn’t try. I highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area!

Strong hearts! - Edit
I loved the Syracuse location for many years- the Buffalo spot seems like a little extension of that. My absolute favorite item was the house brewed jasmine green tea!!

My Heart. - Edit
The original Syracuse location played a huge part in my vegan journey, so I was thrilled for this second store opening.. in a neighborhood I used to live in 20 years ago! I still go to Buffalo quite often to visit my dad in West Seneca.. and for the amount of times I’ve stopped by here to eat, I’m shocked I don’t have more pics! I often order wings, the Egg trick muffin and the Rueben. Recently got the Thai tofu salad and it was amazing, and I always love the cupcakes! A true staple for this vegan.

New FAVE spot!! - Edit
My group had the nachos, chicken parm sandwich, Philly cheesesteak, buffalo mac & cheese and the breakfast burrito! Everything was delicious and honestly could barely tell the difference from the “real” thing!
Read moreThe vibe was amazing, very family friendly and had a lot of options on the menu. The only downside is that the wait can be a little bit long!

Good diner food fix - Edit
It’s nice to have a whole menu to choose from but it is just diner food. It’s greasy which is to be expected but it has so much mayo I didn’t finish my burger. Somehow they were out of wings 10 minutes after opening. Service is pretty slow but at least you get your pastry and coffee while you wait.

Hidden Gem - Edit
I had been to the one in Syracuse so I wanted to try the one here in Buffalo. Almost passed it up. Looks like it’s almost hidden. Once you walk in though it’s nice and clean and open and bright and inviting. The dessert case is absolutely wonderful. Menu has a lot of great options.I had already eaten my dinner so I was just here strictly for dessert. Specifically the peanut butter cookie dough milkshake. Worth the extra calories. Looking forward to coming back and trying out other dishes.
Read moreCame back the next day and had their hot hunny fried chick’n. It was sweet and crispy … not hot (a little disappointing) but I really enjoyed it. Looking for are to coming back.

Life saver! - Edit
Strong Hearts was an absolute lifesaver for me in Buffalo! Was in town for a week, and literally went there every day… (even got a T-shirt! 😁) Sweet Sassy Molassy and iced mocha latte with oat milk was a fav, with their mac and cheese a close second. Sure wish they had one in NC… 🥰

Best vegan in Buffalo - Edit
My go to spot! They have everything from shakes, baked goods, coffee, macaroni salads to go, sandwiches, to full thanksgiving meals. Everything is perfectly prepared and expertly crafted. This is where you take your non-vegan friends.

Yum - Edit
One of our favorite places to go in our hometown. There is not an item on the menu we have not tried. If you live locally and haven’t tried I’m not sure what you’re waiting for. If you’re visiting buffalo be sure to take the time to stop, you will not be disappointed!

Great mac & cheese! - Edit
It's been on my list to get here for a while, as I've only been to the original and new locations in Syracuse. Had the regular mac & cheese and it was amazing. (I was so glad to see the Egg Trick Muffin on the menu, but I just felt like something new today!)

Pros: Amazing food & staff just as in Syracuse!, Immaculately clean bathrooms 🥇, Very fast!(I did come in before 5 on a Fri though)
Cons: Semi sketchy area of Buffalo?, Handful of sketchy people by Carolina St., Will turn around to park right out front next time

Good but pricey - Edit
Food was good. I had the Philly cheesesteak and wife had some sweet chicken sandwich. Both were good. Only complaint is it is very expensive for what you get. $3 extra to get fries instead of potato chips so it was almost $20 for a sandwich and fries.

Good food - Edit
This was my first time visiting Buffalo, NY and wanted to find a great place that served only vegan options. This place is all over tiktok so I decided to give it a try. I had the NYC chopped cheese and loaded fries. My friend had the mushroom patty melt. Everything was good and filling.

Best sandwich I’ve ever had - Edit
The Buffalo and Bleu Cheese Chick’n sandwich was the best sandwich I’ve had in my life. Hands down the thickest shakes as well (I had PB and Chocolate).

Best wings and cheesecake - Edit
We are so happy this place exists. We stopped here during a road trip. We ordered 4 orders of chicken wings, for 2 people and it turned out to be a lot more than we needed because the wings are quite large. Although it worked out for the best because it allowed to try different flavours and to have leftovers for lunch the next day.
Read moreWe ordered 2 orders of Buffalo Wings, 1 order of Sweet and Sassy wings and 1 order of Garlic Parmesan. They were all delicious and it’s impossible to choose my favourite.
The following day, we stopped in to order a milk shake and a slice of cheesecake. The cheesecake was the best I’ve ever tasted.
Pros: Fully vegan, Best wings, Best cheesecake
