Spot Coffee, Buffalo, New York Restaurant Details

Food:

How this place has four stars is beyond me. I think people come here only because it's not their dorm or house. The coffee is mediocre at best, same for their espresso, which to boot is wildly overpriced, and the wifi is awful.

I repeat, THE WIFI IS AWFUL. if you're on the wifi, I know you're not reading this. Hopefully you have LTE on your computer so you can do all that fancy research and paper writing you came here for. But you can't do that, because you only have the Internet on your phone, because the wifi here sucks.

Service is great though, everybody here is super friendly!

Food:

This is one of my favorite places to grab a bite to eat for brunch or breakfast. It can be pretty busy sometimes but it's a fairly large location with a lot of seating. Also, the patio is top notch for some outside eating and drinking.

I'm not a huge specialty coffee drinking but their selection is huge. The decor is definitely super comforting. If you ever need to have a group project that needs doing or if you've got to meet a partner of sorts, this is the perfect place.

And if you're just looking for a place with less distractions than your home to do work, you can't go wrong here.

Food:

Wrong hours. Rude. Walked in at 630 on a Sunday. Told to get out that they weren't open yet. Like I had busted down the door to get in or something.

Food:

Coffee's good, probably the best in Buffalo (not saying much), but by gods is the Wi-Fi bad. Not just slow, but downright unusable more often than not. If you were planning on coming here to get work done that requires the Internet, don't. Bring a book.

Food:

How hard is it to provide wireless Internet? Came here in July...Internet was slower than dial-up, and intermittently lost connection. Mentioned to staff who seemed to think it was no big deal. Came again in September to get some work done, and find that once again, internet is unworkable. Seriously, there's only two things they need to get right in a place like this - decent coffee (maybe some baked stuff) and good wireless...and these people aren't motivated enough to fix an issue which is one of the main draws (or so you would think).

Walk on by this place if you're looking for wireless. Another epic example of absolute indifference to the customer experience.

Starbucks, please come to Elmwood soon! These people are obviously just a little too comfortable with mediocrity.
