A really amazing spot on the West Side of Buffalo! I enjoy popping in to work for the day while I eat as well. The food is delicious, healthy and good quality! This is really great concept to bring to the city and for the Buffalo community to participate in. Very friendly & vibrant atmosphere!

This is a really special place. Whoever you are, you feel immediately welcomed once you enter the restaurant. It’s a great concept and I’m surprised there aren’t more restaurants that operate like this. It does good for the community and you can also volunteer your time to help like sweeping or donate food. The owner is so welcoming and talks to everyone who comes in and the food is delicious, warm, filling, and healthy. I’d definitely check this place out.

Great place for healthy juice, coffee/tea, or a healthy snack. Very nice, and likeable employee. She’s just a sweetheart. Nice, relaxing, unique decor, and a place where I bring people to have a drink and visit with them as there is no loud music blasting. One of my favorites.

I met Mandy many years ago and learned of her idea for a pay as you can eatery. I am so inspired to see her vision for community building come to fruition. The food is a wonderful perk to complement the wonderful ambiance. Everybody matters.
